Arkansas is wonderful state. It looks like that all anybody has to do is 10 go to Arkansas in search of something and straight way he finds it.
 "The maker of the land finished the other states first'' declares a patriotic Arkansas then he gath cred up the best of the scraps and made Arkansas.
 Even so it seems, for Arkansas goes forth to the world as the pos- sessor of all things. From the grain, of rice to the bale of-cotton from the juicy berry to the big red apple; from the ear of wheat to the large corncob, all these and everything in between finds con- genial nourishment in the soil of that state, while beneath the soil  there are treasures of all sorts.
 One fellow swears he has tin over there. Another shows the world zinc in limited quantities manganese crops out space. as philt Sh' ws itself ill sp"sn, iron, a leaj and, we tellcNe, %, per, can bt, found, while Ctr cu,a- III, as earth. Silver, too, is not wanting, aud gold is said to be in Arkansas sands. We know pearls in paying quantities have come from Arkansas streams and we are not told that diamonds have been found for the search. ing.
 Truly Arkansas is a dandy, and we are glad and happy 10 be located SO close to this state teeming with things precious as well as useful to mankind.-Com mercial Appeal.
