 We have received the Easter Edition of the Brinkley Argus, published last week. It is in pamphlet fo~m, executed in blue- black with embossed front cover. It consists of business and his- toric series of articles on Brink ley and some other points, Clar. endon. Holly Grove and Wheatley being represented in a small way. It was an undertaking of no small magnitude, and the result is cred. itable for Bro. Folsom.
 From list published In the Arkansas Methodist we learn that the following named persons have United States liquor license in Monroe county: G. o. Baldwin, (beer), Clarendon; T. D. Brown, Indian Bay; Walter Freeman, Clarendon; J. H. Teas, (malt liquors), Clarendon. This is in what is understood as prohibition territory. We understand that the possession of these licenses does not necessarily imply that intoxicants are being sold. A beverage like hop tea and several other connections put up by brew. cries all have to be sold under license, notwithstanding they are all non-alcholic.

Dear Sir:-The managers of the N. B. A. for Arkansas are anxious that our state shall send large representation to the Washington meeting. Can you not go with usi Begin thinking of the trip, and interest your teachers and others in it. It is none too early to be- gin making plans. To speak of the educational value of this great meeting is unnecessary. The trip is of unusual interest, and is broadly educational in itself. No better opportunity will ever be af- forded to visit our national capital. Cheap excursions will be given from Washington to points of his torical interest, and the numerous watering places on the coast and inland, as we'll as the great cities of the Atlaptic seaboard, may be -asched at low ratsss by bost or rail. aea fare to Washington, plus $2 pays l.l the round trip tickets good till August 31st.
 Will you not wrise me regarding the outlook for attendance for yourself and your friends among the teachersi
 Yours very truly,

They correctly observed time, harmony and articulation and other evidences were shown ot good training. Our friends in black are rapidly coming to the front in vocal music, and theil zeal and attainments should put to shame and arouse to action, our white people of the listless, indif ferent sort-which are far too numerous for the public good.

ARGUS Correspondents.

We have decided to offer a twenty Dollar Odell Type Writer as premium to the correspon- dent who secures the greatest number of points, between Feb. l and Dec. 29 '98, according to the following;
 Now, as to the manner of con- ducting the contest: Every com munication sent in for publication will count 4 points; every new yearly subscriber sent in will count 8 points; every new snbscri- Der for six months will count f points, and every new subscriber for three months will count ? points. At the end of tho year the correspondent having the greatest number of points will be awarded the prize. The points for new subscribers is offered so that the correspondent who enters the contest late will have an op- portnnity to "catch up" with the others.
 The ARGUS desires a correspon- dent at all post-offices in Monroe and surrounding counties where we are not already represented. We furnish the paper free, also stamps and envelopes, so that the correspondent is out absolutely nothing except a little time once each week. If you are not already
 correspondent and desire to become such, let us know at once so that we can furnish you with stationery and stamps.
 The following rules will govern the contest:
 No correspondent will be al- lowed to write more than one let ter each week, except in cases of important happenings occurring soon after the regular letter has been mailed. Then it may be supplemented with another report and two letters will be credited.
 No letter will be credited if not received in time for publication the week it is written, unless we have evidence to show that it was delayed while enroute.
 No subscription will be counted unless accompanied by the cash. A true record of the work of each correspondent will be kept by us and the result published from time to time. Every cores pondent is urgently requested to also keep a record of his own work so as to compare with the published reports.
 The contest begins the first week in February and will close Thurs day, December 29. 1898. Our object in inaugurating this contest is to induce correspon- dents to write every week even if the letters are short. We want to publish news while it is news. We will be pleased to furnish any information concerning the matter.
