me, bless me, and all this comes from bad management and mis- government. Great Scotts! will our king and parliament never re- alize that we don't need any more immigration to this country, es- pecially the kind we are getting. Our people are already becoming of migratory nature, and not through choice altogether. We'll might those sentinels of light and destiny become alarmed at this growing state of affairs. Show me a country whose people are of migratory character and habits, and 1 will show you nation whose moral and social laws have become very unstable if not en. tirely extinct, people to whom the word home, in its pure and noble meaning, is entirely un- known.
 The people here have been treated to nearly four weeks of as fine and earnest preaching as the writer ever listened to, but I am sorry to say that very little, com parativel y speaking, was accom- plished. It seems as if men and women can walk along upon the very brinks of hell and gaze with stolid indifference into tho seething, flaming pit, and listen to the aw- ful and agonizing screams of earth's lost and damned, and then turn from this fearful contempla ton and take the very road that leads 10 this self same hell. They know the right, and approve it, too. They know the wrong, but yet Tn the wrong persist.
 Court business is looking up a little. On last Saturday our gal lant Esquire Creed T. Moore was
 made to remember once more that
 he was the J. P. of Telico; Messrs.
 Lanier and Prewett, of Forrest City,
 were present as counsel in the case.
 The case was one of slander, sent from Esquire Able's court on a
 change of venue to Esquire Moore s : court. Justice Moore endeavored
 to have the lawyers bulldoze . his court and have second change B of venue granted, but the attorneys didn't seem to have on their bull d dozing clothes, and so the Justice a had to sit or fly. This was l, i neighborhood quarrel and we don much blame the Squire for no wanting to have anything to dc \ with it. Such a thing ought never \ to have found its way into court 3 We understand that the Hon a $. NJ. Blalock will be in the nex a State Senatorial race. Hurrah fol 4 Blalock. While he is little a cranky on some things, yet he i: q as true as steel, and we don < believe he can be bought. \ Our crops are very short. bu < much better than at one time ex a peeted.
 There has been and IS nov 2 much sickness in our .commu a nity, and Doctors White and Eng J land are kept quite busy.
