Harrison & Morris made the first ship
ment of spinach for the season of 1899
last Monday, The shipment consisted
of 10 cases. The unfavorable winter
has reduced their ACREAGE 70-consid-
erably, but they will even under these
conditions, have large quantities to
market.
The general report is that the roads
are in a worse condition now than they
have been for quite a while. We hope
something can be done soon to make the
recently enacted amendment to the con-
stitution effective and that this county
or at least this portion of it, vote for the
improvement.
Our good friend, Prof WI. Morris,

popular Main Hotel at Fort Smith, has

Mr.. Mclaughlin, the well known rail
road contractor, who has contract on
the Missouri Pacific road, thirty five
miles this side of st. Louis.
We should oppose the hiring out OF
county prisoners, were there any to hire,
to compete with free labor. Our roads
are in great need of improvement; even
though it cost something for guard
hire, had we a sufficient number of
prisoners, it would be money well spent
to use them on public roads.

Arkansas certainly needs new state

ashamed of. We believe if the legisla.

state building that large part of tn,

believe they would be again.
