As q usual thing the seed were never planted by tile majority of those to whom they were sent by Con- greSsmen and Senators, and II IS well enough that the system k to be abolished
 The News will stake it's reputa- tion as d profit on the assertion that with anything like fair ap- pie and berry crop this year there will be more building. and more improvements of d public charac- ter, projected Ill Washington and and Benton counties than ever be- fore Tn any one year. These two counties are rich Tn resources. and The News believes flew era Is opening up for them that will surpass the expectations of the most enthusiastic
 Let us learn to be content with what We have. Let us get rid of our false estimates, set up all the higher ideals-a quite home, vines of our own planting, few books full of inspiration of d genius, a few friends worthy of being loved and able to love in return, q hun dred innocent pleasures that bring no pain or remorse..a devotion to the right that will never Swerve, simple religion empty of all bigotry. full of trust and hope and love and to such q philosophy this world will give up all the empty joy 1t has.-David Swing.
 The News is now publishing the proposed constitutional amendment which will be submit ted to the people to be voted up- on al the September election. This amendment Is something that every citizen in the state, ir- respective of politics, should sup port, as t is in the interests of the public schools.

So If you have been hesitating about ordering flour from this firm for fear that 600 or 65oG pounds was exhausted, you needn't wait longer, for they have plenty. The error in the original local, and the error in correction, reminded Mir. Bouton of a story, which he repeated for the purpose of affording some con- solation to Tbe News. A hero of many battles returned to his home in New Orleans, and one ot the
