Jilr, Riley.

Ton may talk about your poets Like Tennyson and sich But that James Whitcomb Riley Is just constant gettin' rich. some say that he's no writer
 For this here age and day, But the way his books are sellin' IL don't look .o mo that way. It ain't cause he's the smartest, For his writin's show he's not: It's just the tellin bout the things That other folks forgot. Sometimes about your childhood days, Way back forty years, And just keeps on describin' it Till your eyes are filled with tears. Tn the days gone by s a poem As good as l want to sec And every time I read it,
 Why, it gets right next Co me. s.The old swimmin holo8 $ another one That everybody knows, And makes me feel like gettin up And pullin' off my clothes; And standin out upon the bank And diyin in the brook, And havin' good old fashioned swim Just like Jim Riley took. , L. MAC

The business men of Mena must take measures to inaugurate a plan to improve the roads leading into town. They are a disgrace to any community and all that is needed is to have some iudicious work done on them. Good roads leading into town will enable farmers to get here with their produce much easier and when here they wlll buy goods.

Commissioner of Agriculture Vincenhcllcr, who recently made a three weeks visit to North and Northwest Arkansas, visited sev- eral counties and delivered nollr- Der of speeches. He reports that the prospects for fruit and grain crops are excellent. The apple prospect is as good as in 1895, and the peach crop is better than it has been in years. The wheat av- crages larger than usual and looks well, as there has been no climatic disaster to hinder its growth. Mt. Ida Herald.

A lot of gamblers of Kansas City, having become alarmed over the prospects of being indicted by the grand jury jury and prosecuted, left very suddenly one day last week for Port Arthur where they expect to do rushing business for awhile. They are not q desir- able element in any community and should be requsted to move on" by the authorities of any city or town.

RAISE MORE HENS.

We have previously referred to the fact that this is an exception ally good country to raise poul- try in as we have all the oondi- tions necessary to make the busi- ness q success, especially since we have railway facilities to take the products to the markets. The New York Press, referring to an address on chicken raising de- livered by Mir. c. w. Sprague, closed it's editorial with the fol lowing interesting statements:
 "One hen of this tribe, says our perpatetic professor of useful, not ornamental, ornithology, will lay annually a S5 gold piece. And, as he does not qualify this by an exception of Bryan states, we may conclude that even in the dullest Cleveland era the Plymouth Rock hen has always stood, or sat, ready to do her duty by the coun- try-an example to the democracy by which it would do well to profit; though, of course, 1t never will.
 MT. Sprague is not a mere theorist, as most professors are. He is q practical politician in poultry, and at his home in Cha teaugay, N. r., on a five acre farm, he has an interesting family of 5000 chickens, which, he de- clares, take not only less trouble to raise, but arc far more remuner- atiye proportionately than COWS or horses. The stern statistic starcs Us in the face. as political economists, that the American people are not raising enough hens. Fowls and eggs are inn ported right along from England, France and Belgium. Even Scotch eggs, following Scotch lit eraturc, are coming into our markets to steal away our brains and our digestions; and as for Canada, if there were no other ar gument in favor of annexing her. should not the single fact that last year she sent us 37, 100000 eggs plead trumpet-tongued for such q consumation? "
 There are numerous five acre tracts near Mena that could easily be made into poultry farms, together with small fruits, etc, and made to yield q nice living for those who desire to engage in this light and comparatively easy business. We echo the senti- ment, "raise more hens.n

The fact that one mill firm sold six car loads of flour in Mcna last week rather indicates that there are number of people here to feed. The very unusual and very severe drought of last season cut all crops short here last year and the very large influx of people creates an unusual demand for brrad-stuffs which will all be SUD- piled by our farmers this year.

Governor Jones should be most heartily sustained in his efforts to secure legislation to enable the country to have good roads in this state. A little work and money iudicionsly expended would give us good roads and materially change the appearance of this section of the state.

A railroad should be compelled to do business in an honest way and not be allowed to water it's stock.

WIRE FROM DAWSON,
II Is Within the Run.e of Early
Possibility

Uncle Sam and his cousin. the Gov
outgeneraled by enterprising capital
lists in the effort to contlol the future
telegraph business of the great North
west. While the governments of
Washington and Quebec are batting
one another on the back and writing
voluninous letters on the NOR entous
subject. plain, ordinary business men
are going ahead with their plans 1t
is whispered in financial circles tina;
several corporations already interested
in the gold fields have set aside sums
for the establishment of private tele-
graph lines between important points,
and that one company has sent a gang
of linemen. under three electrical ex-
perts. to the Northwest to string wires
in American territory.
All sorts of propositions are heard
daily in Wall street One genius wants
to have a detail of signalmen stationed
at high points along Skaguay trail to
WigWag messages with flags from sta
ton to station. He thinks heliographs
could be used at long range in Alaska.
and points out that in some parts of
the West Uncle Sans soldiers signal
with sunmirrors between points
eighty miles apart. Flash lanterns or
searchlights. he asserts. might be en-
ployed during the long Arctic night.
That a telegraph system OF some
sort will be established in the Spring
goes without saving for the news
papers themselves could better afford
to form a syndicate to stretch wires
than to pay the enormous expense Of
getting dispatches from their CORE
spondents by dog sledse or reindeer
express. But there would be plenty OF
private MESA es. aside from the grea:
mass Of press business. to pay the ex-
penses of construction and operation,
ard leave handsome profit besides.
