The fellow who got this off hit the nail on the head: "Either run your town with vim or sell out and leave 1t. Mon who are always trying to get out of business will never do much for any town-run the thing for all its worth, get up steam and keep it or quit, slide out and let nature take its course. If you want business to come 10 your town, encourage those who do come. If you want a prosper. ous town, where people can come who are disposed to make homes, then do away with and tury from sight all jealousy and spite, work tor common prosperity and mutual benefit. Wake up, rub your eyes, roll up your sleeves and go to work. Do not work with fear and trembling, but take for grapted that blood will tell. Leave results to themselves. Borrow no trou- bies, but all unite to make the big. gest kind of a town.

According to our contemporaries there are twenty newspapers in Arkansas that are for sale. That IS another way of saying that twenty newspapers were started where there was no legitimate de- mand for them. The newspaper is like the blood, it must have clrcu- lation or it dries up.-Helena World.
 And it takes more than the sane. tion of one CT two chronic kickers and few alleged politicians to create a demand for newspaper. It is fact that newspapers are often unwisely established. We have examples here in Arkansas. and no doubt some of them are in- cluded in the twenty mentioned by the World. When it is ascertained that there is no occaslon for the existence of such journals there is nothing for them 10 do, but seek new fields or give up the ghost Ex

Wheat went 10 a dollar a bushel one day last week in the markets The prospects arc that it will reach SIPS. This means further ad. vance in the price of flour. The season for planting wheat is now at hand and something ought 10 be done in that line in this county, so that our farmers may reap the benefit of high prices for one of their products, save the freights, and profits of the middle man. on four, and supply the entire county and those adjoining with bread. stuffs. From ten to twenty-five bushels of wheat 10 the acre can be harvested Tn this county, according to the fertility of the land and the intelligence and industry of the planter. If we had board of trade, commercial club, or some organization of that character. il would be "dead easy" to interest CD the farmers in wheat raising and @ some person to build a roller mill.
 "Everybody's business is no. body's business" and THE TIMES might howl about our great needs till doomsday and never ac. complish anything so long as there is no organized effort by the peo, pie. The merchants of this town ought to take hold of such an inn portant enterprise and make it a success. We need to wake up from this miserable "hard times" crvinp era and get move on us and make good times. The man who works the town which is alive to its in. terests, has no time and no occa. sion to talk about hard times. and prosperity will perch upon their effort. Now let's have a roller mill and raise wheat and make our own breadstufs.

Talk about Randolph farmers . not being able to make n living is all bosh. Mr. George Baltz, one ! of our most prosperous German farmers three miles west of town. has raised this year 75 or 100 bushels of onions, a good supply of wheat and oats, has about 300
 trees loaded with peaches and ap- p les, q vineyard loaded with gr apes, a bale of cotton from last years crop and fine crop of cot ton and corn now growing, ten acres of the finest peas you ever laid your eyes on, three large patches of sweet and Irish potatoes and has raised ,200O head of cab- bage. Mn. Baltz has accomplished all this by himself assisted by his two sons. He has family of ten
 children, most of whom are small.

An exchange in a neighboring town is, like ourselves, trying to interest the people in a roller mill, Here is one item, taken from it's columns, which furnishes some thing to think about: 'If the loca- tion of fioaring mill in this city of the capacity of 100 barrels day would result in an increased pro- ductIon of wheat Tn this section, which 1t Is reasonable 10 assume would be the case, there is scarcely doubt that such an enterprise would pay, and well, too, if the quality Of the four should be up to the standard. The home pat ronage would be ample to justify the location of the mill, and there Is scarcely doubt that it could be largely controlled if the flour is up to the standard and could be sold at the price now paid for four in this city"

A gentleman onco sald to a re- porter: "l never took a paper that did not pay me more than I did for it. One time an old friend of mine started a paper away down south and sent 1t to me, and I sub- scribed just to encourage him, and after while it published q notice that an administrator had an order to sell a lot and 1 told my friend to run it up to $50, He bid mo off for $50, and I sold it month later for slOO. So l made s63 clear by taking that paper. My father told me that when he was young man he saw notice in a papor that a school teacher was wanted away off in n distant county, and he went there and got the situation, and little girl was sent to him and after while she grew up sweet .and pretty. and he mar ried her. Now, If he hadn't taken that paper what do you suppose would have become of me. I would have been some other fellow, or maybe l wouldn't have been at all.-Ex.

The Western farmers, says a valued exchange, are. rejoicing over an unusually large yield of wheat and corn and the almost positive assurance of good, big prices for their products; the northern and eastern farmers are enjoying a similar prospect; Ken lucky tobacco growers have a big crop and the price of the weed is advancing in Q manner that de. lights them; the southern agricul- turist is not behind his brothers in other sections of the country. for he, too, has the prospect of . large yield of cotton, fair crop ot corn and stock food crops. It seems assured that the farmers Tn other sections of the country will get n big prlce for their big crops, but the southern farmer is not so sure of this. He is more at the mercy of the "bulls and bears" and the multitude of speculat ors who prev upon him than any of the others. We hope the "lightning will strike all over" this year, and that the southern planter will enjoy sea- son of high prices as we'll as his brethren in other sections of the country.

Every wagon of the farmer and of tho city merchantmen should be q road maker. instead of a rut maker. The day for narrow tires IS passing away, and it cannot be too soon. Good roads place the remote farmer, who pays as much for all he buys and gets no more for what he sells than the farmer nelrer market, upon more equit- able basis of competition. Let us give beet sugar an extensive trial. This use of the land will procure bigher prices for corn and wheat, besides making us independent of other countries for our sugar SUD- ply.-Craighead County Sun.
