CONFEDERATE RI
UNION.

Between 400 and 700 Arkansas
Confederate Veterans will attend
the Annual Re- Union to be held
in Atlanta, Ca, IN July, so says
Maj. Gen. John j. Horner, OF
Helena, who has just returned
from that city, where he went to
make the necessary arrangements
for the Arkansas old soldiers.
"He engaged twenty-three horses
for his own staff and thirteen for
the staff of Gen. D. o. Reeves,
commander Of the 4th Brigade Of
Arkansas Veterans" so says the
Constitution. Gen. Horner made
arrangements for a building in
Atlanta to be used as headquar-
tiers for his Arkansas comrades.
We sincerely trust that Mon
roe county will have a fair
representation at the Reunion.
They have never had a finer and
better commanding officer than
Mai. Horner and the writer is sure
that the Arkansas Veterans who
attend the Re- Union will be looked
after and cared for as never be.
fere at any previous reunion.
Blessed be the names of the old
heroes, and may the Annual Re-
Unions continue to be bright
spot in their useful, tho fading
lives.

THE FARMER AND WAX
PRICES.

aThat. farmer who has good
horse or mule to sell, a fat COW,
steer or half, wheat, corn, pota-
toes, or even a supply of chickens
and eggs, is in a position to fat
ten his pocketbook while war
prices are on. We hope every
farmer in our county is so stu
ated, but fear that there are some
who have nothing of the list men
toned to put On the market" -
Jonesboro Sun.
Your fears are well grounded,
Bro. Sun, Judging the people OF
your county by our own. Our
people, with but few exceptions,
never have anything to sell but
cotton. 1t matters not how plain
to them it is made that they can
not afford to indulge in the lux
ury of raising 5 cent cotton, they,
year after year, insist on doing so
and buying all of the necessary
supplies used in making the crop.
However, the light of prosperity
is dawning in this section and
within the next year or two, our
people viii be made to see the
error Of their way. This year a
valuable example has been set the
cotton raisers by a few OF our pro-
gressivo farmers who broke away
from cotton and raised potatoes.
AS a result, Brinkley shipped the
first car load Of potatoes shipped
from Arkansas. Potato buyers
from the North were on our streets
and paid the cash to the growers
the moment they are delivered.
Six car loads Melted the growers
Is cents per bushel and the bal
ance of the crop has aetted the
growers from 40 cents to 10 cents
per bushel. Not only could our
farmers better their condition, in
crease the cash in their pockets
and il every way show themselves
to be, as they ought to be, the
most independent of all people.
BY diversifying their crops, but it
would increase the value Of their
lands

away from the bondage OF debt.

Mis- lsdy friends.

A baggageman running out OF
La Junta is quite favorite among
some OF the dance going young
ladies. II the young ladies' thought
he had won their affections in the
way that he attempted to gain the
friendship OF certain young lady,
they would undoubtedly resent it,
but they do not know.
The baggageman had scheme
of obtaining flowers that was both
novel and inexpensive. Quite
often, as is the case on baggage
cars, corpse would be shipped in
his car. Ii was not an unusual
thing for a box or bunch OF flowers
to be placed upon the box. 1t was
an easy matter to ''borrow" some
OF the flowers as the corpse would
never miss them and they would
do so much more good if given to
someone who was alive. The
flowers would often be tied with a
neat piece of ribbon and then the
ribbon would look SO nice II II
were used in the form OF bow on
somebody's hair. All went well
for awhile and the gallant baggage
man was a prime favorite with the
young LADIES' who had received
flowers from him. "Where do
you get thems" the young ladies
would ask. "Oh from a fellow
who was riding in the baggage
car" would be his answer.
One night the baggageman was
going TO dance when he got TO
the end OF the run. There was a
corpse and bunch of flowers on
board He borrowed some of the
fiowerS and nice long ribbon.
The presentation was made with
the air OF Chesterfield and all
was lovely until a young lady
noticed card neatly pinned on
the ribbon which read; PLEASE
place at the head OF Johns grave. F"

Hon. Charles c.. Dawes

Hon. Charles G.. Dawes, the new
comptroller OF the currency, has
almost at once, upon entering up
on the duties of his Office, issued
an order which will be regarded
generally as a thoroughly common
sense proposition. Mr.. Dawes
has found that in some cases ma
tional banks desiring to have
special examinations have been in
the habit of employing bank exam
iners outside of their official ca
pacity, and he has decided that the
stopping Of this practice will oper-
ate to the benefit of the service and
obviate any possibility of lack OF
official strictness with reference to
any bank coming under the exami,
ner's jurisdiction.

The state OF Kansas proposes to
branch out and go into the insur-
ance business. The state officials
nave come TO the conclusion that
the insurance companies have been
robbing the people, taking out OF
state annually hundreds OF thous-
ands OF dollars IN the way OF prem
iums, and giving no adequate re-
turn. A scheme has been devis-
ed, which has the Endorsement OF
the governor and the insurance
commissioner, by which this large
amount OF money will be retained
within the boundaries OF Kansas
and the surplus used in liquidating
the expenses OF the state.

such publication as Dunn's Re-

exceptional prosperity. Its state

with the steady increase which is

In 1854 he accepted the chair of

written much for various papers
