THE "pIRTLE" PEACH.

James B. Wild & Bros, of the Sarcoxie (Mo.) Nursery, to whom we recently sent some buds from the tree upon which the big peaches brought us by Bert Pir- tie grew, have named the peach the ''Pirtle," and say: 'The 'Pir- tle' is certainly new seeding as we find the leaves are what are termed 'serrate,' and to all ap- pearances glandless. These points-so far as we have been able to trace, show that there has nothing appeared in the peaches introduced, ripening at the time 'Pirtle' does, and having these points" The "Pirtle" is yellow free stone peach of excellent fla yor and very large.

One excellent reform is rapidly gaining hold with the people, and that is free books and sup plies for all pupils in the public schools. 1t is beginning to be considered as essential that our public schools be thus supplied from the public funds as it is that the supplies now furnished every we'll regulated school should be paid for by the public. Wherever this plan is in vogue it has been shown that the attendance from among the poorer classes has been materially increased, and our free school system was established very largely to give poor children an education. Some object to this idea because to supply free books to the pupils smacks of paternalism but these should that to abolish the pa tcrnalistic idea in our public schools would abolish the free school system.

The farmers of Bowie and Mil Ter counties have been holding meetings to arrange to take their cotton to market on two days of the week, choosing Tuesdays and Fridays, with view of inducing buyers from abroad to come and bid. In thls way they hope to se- cure the highest market price for their cotton instead of being com pelled to take only what | few local buyers see fit to offer. Re ferring to this subject the Little River News says: If our farm CTS would select some one good town in the county and all carry their cotton there on two days in each week, they would always find plenty of buyers to bid on it. By scattering thelr cotton all over the county on any days, and car rying some of it out of the county, they have to take whatever the local dealer sees fit to give them"

We have recently added new features to the Star, making it more newsy and inter- esting and intend to continue along this line until the Star is known as the best weekly paper in Arkansas. 1t costs money to do this and those wanting a good paper and knowing themselves in- debted to us should let us hear from them.

The Port Arthur News, speak ing editorially of the recent storm at that place and the efforts of the people to overcome the disaster, says: People at large may talk about corporations having no souls, but in the hearing of Port Arthur people it will fall on un- appreciative ears. This action by the officials of the company now sets forever at rest the question as to the future and fate of Port Ar thur, The company's intentions regarding the city could not be moro firmly established in the minds of the people than they are now. The city has solid a friend in every representative of the company under any and all cir cumstances, and the company in turn can count on the loyalty of all the people of Port Arthur"
