 WRONG, Bro.

There are seven gin stands running, and still they can't keep up. IT. H. Youngblood sowed ten acres in wheat last week, and J. A. Van dike five acres. w. G. Sutton in tends sowing five acres. We sin cerely hope all who can will SOW some wheat. Let's grow some thing to eat and less cotton, for the merchants have quit buying cotton as they once did. No one gets any thanks from the merchant now for bringing them cotton. :. Mr. Null the fine dog fancler, was Tn Clarendon several days last week with ten of his fine dogs.

BUILDING UP BRINKLEY,
Building a city.

Building clty.
 This is indeed a mighty worK. It requires people of braIn, energy and magnanimity, and ordinarily people of wealth but the last IS not the absolute essential as are the first three.
 About 28 years ago the present site of Brinkley was nothing more than a marshy wilderness. About this time the Little Rock < Mem phis railroad was being pushed thro' and it was determined by a few to start town at this point. It grew and prospered and in d few years the founders began to build railroads leading out to the north and South. Soon the Para more road, (nov the Cotton Belt) was constructed and prosperity continued to smileupon the efforts of those who had started to build the city of Brinkley. The Oil Mill and other industries were started. Everything went to show that 1t would only be matter of short lime ii their efforts were continued until Brinkley would be one of the leading cities of the State. In very near every movement the sup erior brain power, lnexhaust- i've energy and magnanimity was displayed. Sites for churches, school houses, etc were donated :; work and credit were gwen strug- gling laborers and they were in every way assisted to own their homes.
 Everything went well until the hand of death staid the progress of the city builders and since tkat time Brinkley has suffered Severe ly on account of the need of city buildersGee1 who are possessed G ci brains, men of energy and men of magnanimity of character. We have in our midst many city build ers-- many men of brains, energy and magnanimity but the possess ors of these grand virtues are ap- parently asleep-sleeping q sleep that is proving fatal to our city. Towns all over the state ana even under our very eyes with nothing like the natural advantages of Brinkley, are being built into cities. It is a we'll known fact that there is no harmony or unity cf action among our people; that whenever anything is suggested for the welfare or business inter- est of the city that there are those Who will stand around and cry 1t doWn because it is not exactly ac- eording to their own ideas or
 1n't originate with them. This <jMss of people are the gscatest e1nmbling block ii the way of pro-'
 ess; they are running our city. m pnless those of our people
 ID really have the interests of
 inkley at heart get together and organize as real live city builders vke fear that it will soon be too lnte.
 Wake up, look up, get up.

Is quality some newspapers have
lost sight of in these days of "Iel-

1t is not so with The DISPATCH
The success of THE DISPATCH rests
upon It's reliability. 1t prints the
