Reliable authorities say that eight hundred or a thousand bales more will have been handled when the season is over, Near the town are the two State convict farms, one d mile and q half west and the other two miles east of the town, and these Institutions have stored sever al huddred bales of cotton which are yet to be placed upon the market.
 The farms in this district are we'll improved, with nice comfortable tenant houses, and other necessary conyenienees. The lands rent for four and five dollars an acre. Ara in most instances the water is good, and healtA better than in most low land sections. A persGn with little capital and enterprise can make farming pay here.

SAFE BURGLARIZED.
Gen. H. King Whites Safe RiffIed Last Night-Over
 $20O in Money Gone.

When the Ianitor opened Gen. H. King Whites law office this morn ing for the purpose of cleaning up he discovered that the Generals safe had been broken open and plundered. General White was in his office Sunday afternoon, so the deed must have been committed last night.
 The safe is used only for keeping court papers and booKs and the door is not kept locked, thongh the bolts are always turned. It was an easy matter for the door to be opened and then the thief went through the interior, scattering papers and books in every direction.
 In the first part of the week Gen. White was given over $2OO in money by one of his clients to be kept in the safe. This was placed in a book and put in a vault in the safe. The vault had been torn out and the door battered open. Gen. White found the book but the money was gone.
 The officers are at work on the case, but no arrests have as yet been made.

CITIZENSHIP.

In considering a town or com. munity, one should always sum up and weigh the advantages and dis. advantages with an impartial reck- oningS compare results, and lot his decision r,st upon a foundation builded Of judgment born of facts. While these facts necessarily should be of many forms and varied natures, there is one fact which should never be overlooked, and which enters largely into both the warp and the wool, as it were, of every com munity-the character and general nature of the citizenship. The main features of the citizenship of England and the England district, one will naturally draw from the general body and tone of this article. The people are a social, wide-awake and enterprising people. For further in- formation on this line, the reader is left to the business and other men tions which follow.

mercantile business for himself was at thls place, and so successful has he been that he Is now one of the stanchest business men of the coun- try.

INTRODUCTORY.


 The hush of evening had fallen like a benediction of peace upon the town of England. had strolled out q lit- tie way from the business quarters of the town, and stood drinking in the inspiration of the scene. The moon seemed to be reveling in all her glory, and in her gracious humor, showers of soft, mellow light were allowed to rain down on the dusky landscape around. There were just enough shadow to lend to the scene a touch of pathos, and the bright patches of silver thrown as with careless hand and yet with such pre- cision here and there reminded me of the musical ripples of simple song grown tender wiCh years. For a few moments 1 traveled slowly back ward along the corridors of the past, clothed in reverie, unmindful of the present. The solemn bay of a dog in the distance aroused me. A negro, on his nightly tramp, began to sing, and a hoarse-voiced animal joined in with an accompaniment. Recalling Shakespeare, I repeated softly to mysef-
 ''The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet
 sounds, etc.,
 and vision foated before me. l saw broad acres spread out, with the smile of Nature resting upon them; 1 saw growing cotton, it's green leaves rising and falling as the summer breezes lazily played among them; saw a descendant of Afric s burning cline holding sweet com munion with a representative Of Balaam's saddle pony; and I saw, too, the fleecy staple as it hung pen dent from the bur, as it reposed in huge piles upon the ground, as it was being conveyed to the gin, and as it rested in bales upon the platform at the station.
 My eyes were now turned upon the business part of town. The stores were all brilliantly lighted, and l saw a constant inflow and outflow ot peoplc-people who could not spare time during the day to come to town and do their trading, and who ayailed themselves of the night time in which to do this. Every where were hurry and hustle, and an eager rush.
 l turned and wended my way back toward the hotel, and on my way again fell into reverie. This time travelled down the aisles of the fu- ture. I walked upon smooth, firm pavements, and by large, stately brick buildings. l passed through iostling crowds, and rested beneath the blaze of electricity. l heard tht buzz of machinery, the song of th' 1 saw. the ring of the anvil, and th' sounding of the hammer as itrepeat edly fell and was raised aloft again I saw beautiful residences with vine enwreathed porches, and gardens blown with roses.

TIE COnRIER.

A town has not started on the way of true enterprise until it SUD- ports a five newspaper. The Courier printed at his place is an all-home print paper, and is one among the brightest country sheets published Tn South Arkansas. It was estab- lished in May, 1897. Dr. N. B, Beak- ley is editor, and $. P. Halloway local editor.
 The Courier is a well-established institution of the town, and is receiving q hearty support in the way of advertising from the business people, and in the way of su0sclip- tions from the people of the county at large.

streets, and the large, stately brick are not here now, but will be soon. The beautiful residences and the rose gardens, too, are somewhat limited in number, but tue future holds them in store, and they will be delivered, paid, all in good time-some of them ere the passing months have length ened into another year. Oil still serves instead of electricity in light ing the town. The song of the saw and the ring of the anvil and hammer can be heard any day, but the buzz of machinery is not yet Q disturbing factor.
 But enough of this. There are those waiting and anxious to know in full the little town of which write and it's surrounding territory, and the probabilities and possibilities at tendant upon each.
