 MR. EpIroR As my last com munication found it's way to the dreaded waste basket, l shall try again and see what there is in store for me.
 Well, Mr. Editor. our town is somewhat larger to-day than it was last Monday. Several new houses are going up at present. It seems true that times are progressing, even under anfavorable auspices. While OUT labor is depreciated. and other things of like nature to cause those who own property to improve ito no extent. prop erty is being improved that at this time last year was considered eal- aeless and SO t is with the eduea- tienal interest of the day. The time once was when man could become independent, so to speak. in few years, if he tried. Now the prospect is changed. Ne must cultivate our faculties to be able to share in this war for ex- istence. that is now being waged between man and man.
 Well, we wonder if Old Aunt spain has bounced upon 0s. 7et. to eat as as Cuba was eaten. fast 90 the D. N. I. is left alone. wc will be content. Everything is in d forward motion here at this time. Work Is being pushed along. and everything has assumed a busy air. The ladies are to have m open ses- sion of the Society Friday evening. We are expecting grand old time. Ladies can do better and more of anything than tfe boys.
 We stumble upon candidate once in while. Am afraid there are going to be so many that if t don't rain in June they will raise so much dust tbat we will suffocate. RgpePrFp

Prof. II. Hinemon of this city, in response to the numerous calls made upon him, has declined to become a candidate for State Superintendent of Public Instruc- ton. Prof. IIinemon would make an excellent State Superintendent, but at present has a more profitable position as superintendent of the Pine Bluff Public Schools. It is a notorious fact that the salary at tached to the office of State Super intendent is entirely inadequate to the service or the position. It pays less than many of the superintend- cnts of the city schools throughout the State receive. N hile Arkan- sas has been exceedingly fortunate in securing good and capable men in the past for this position, we doubt if the State will continue to do so unless the salary of the of flee is raised.
 The above nice compliment to our friend and former feIlow-towns- men, Prof J. II. IIinemon, we take from a late issue of the Pine Bluff Graphic. Prof. Hinemon has a host of friends in this section of country who would have been glad to have supported him fol State Supt. of Public Instruction and who hope to sec the day come when hc will be at the head of that department.

The Memphis Commercial Ap- peal suggest the following anti dote for an alarming malady
 s-The States which propose to tax bachelors out of existence are going about it in the wrong way. This can be done only by marriage or capital punishment. If man is SO poor that he can't marry, he will hardly be in d better condition to marry if he Is taxed. Hence taxation is not the proper remedy. The man who can marry and won { marry, deserves the extreme penal ty of the law. Therefore the real remedy for single blessedness is the seaffold. If a man knew that he would be hanged by the neck un- til he was dead if he didn [ become benedict, he would hustle around and pick up q partner. No mat ter how poor he might be, 1t would be much more inexpensive to be married than to be hanged. There fore, We are convinced that the on- ly way to cure q bachelor is, not to tax him, but 10 hang him.
 1t is new said that I Texas can didate for justice of the peace orig mated the famous expression. Mid dle of the Road, ? which has recent ly designated certain types of pop ulists. This mans name is Shaw, and he was affectionately dubbed ..Old Uncle Billy shaw " He had always voted the Democratic tick ct, but when the notion entered his head to be d candidate for office shaw Was aware that his neigh bors whose votes he would need were mostly popuIists. So he de- cided to make the race on the grounds that he was poor but hon est, and needed the office for the money that was in it. But his op- ponents did not hesitate to declare their politics, and hence at cer- tain public meeting in which all the candidates were expected to make speeches defining themselves on public questions .sUncle Billy
 was pinned down by his political opponents to define his politics. Fearing that t would be ruinous at that time to proclaim that he was a Democrat the wiley old man boldly declared that your Uncle Billy will always be found in the middle of the road, an expression that caught the popular fancy and land. ed the old man in the first and on ly office he ever heId-Eschange
