MARKET DAYS IN TOWNS.
Successful Plans to Entertain Visitors
 and Attract Trade.

How to attract trade to towns is a question that interests every business man. There must be some attraction for people of the surrounding country; some entertainment to please. Many means have been put in operation by different towns to bring about the ob- jects desired. The people of the small CT towns in different western states have inaugurated street carniyals, fall festivals and similar enterprises to entertain people from the surrounding farming sections. These methods have been universally successful, and have resulted in bringing trade to the towns that otherwise would have gone elsewhere. Not alone this, but the residents of the rural districts are brought in contact with the city peo- pie on friendly basis and harmonious relations established that are highly desirable.
 In many towns market days have been established. From early spring until late in fall one day in the month is set aside for market day" For this OCCASION DdnuS OI MUSIC are euSdS6u, balloon ascensions, baseball games, races and similar attractions are em. ployed to interest the people. All these are free, the expense being borne by the business interests of the town. The farmers are invited to bring to the town their horses, cattle, hogs, in fact, every product that they have for sale, and the same is auctioned off to the best advantage. On these market days all kinds of articles can be had at bargain prices. Each storekeeper makes special efforts to offer bargains, and generally the sales are enormous. A few enterprising small towns that have adopted the market-day idea have become noted for many miles about as lively trade centers and take trade away from territory in the neigh borhood of less enterprising towns. The market-day idea is worthy of con- sideration by business men in small towns who desire to pursue an inex- pensive method of attracting trade to the place.

Duty of Good Citizens.

Home and it's protection is the safe guard of all government. That citi- zen who has the love of home and fealty to home interests, is a worthy representative of commonwealth. It is the mass of such men that are the backbone of any community, and, figuratively, the mainstay and the
 rock upon which the nations are founded. Whoever lives in a com munity and fails to support the pub lie institutions and does not assist in the building up of industries that add to the greatness of that community, is like an alien. While he lives one place, his heart is in another. He is not the ideal citizen, for he is not in harmony with those who are his neighbors. It is the duty of every resident of a town or community to do his utmost to advance it's interest. By thus doing he not alone assists himself, but his neighbors, his town, his county, his state and his nation.

Beinq Watched With Interest.

The progress of the we'll which is being sunk by the Neimeyer Lumber Company at it's new mill near the new penitentiary, is being watched with much interest by both the Home Wat CT Company and others who are inter- ested in the agitation for better water for Little Rock, for the success of the well may determine whether it will be feasible to sink artesian wells to obtain water supply for Little Rock.
 It has been stated that water can not be found at a depth of less than 1000 feet, since strata of rock may be found at vast depth beneath Little Rock on account of some vol canic disturbance of ages ago. The Neimeyer wen has thus far been sunk to a depth of 800 feet, and still it is passing through strata of stone with no water to speak of, in sight. The we'll is being sunk through slanting strata of shale. Oil in small quanti- ties has been found. The oil lies in pockets" in the rock. Coal has also been found far beneath the surface of the earth, but not in paying quanti- ties. Should water be found at a mod crate depth, it may be thought cheaper to bore artesian wells for Little Rocks water supply than to go to some other stream than the Arkansas river

FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION.
Prosecution of Oppressive Combines
 Afford Lesson to Home Traders.

Never before has there been such a stirring up of the masses and an awakening as to rottenness in finan- cial affairs among the large corpora tions as at present. Some one at one time said that when thieves fall out the devil gets his reward" So it seems at present when faction is ar rayed against faction in exposing crooked operations in great financial and business deals, in which the little fish are swallowed by the big ones, and the men in control, like wolves, lead the lambs to slaughter.
 It is amazing how farspread are the frauds practiced, and how high up in public estimation are the manipula- tors of the rotten deals. The stealings of the millionaires and multi-million- aires, the intrigues and their perjuri- ous lying and misrepresentations to accomplish their aims; the intricacy of the machinery used in their opera tions, the perfection of the means, the combinations employed to fleece the people of dollars, would do credit to a Gagliostro or a Machiavelli, or a Capt. Kidd.
 There cannot be doubt that these various articles appearing in the mag azines and general newspapers will have the result of opening the eyes of the public to things that few hereto fore ever gave serious consideration They will have the effect of making the people more cautious in making investments of their earnings, and will result in lessons that are bene ficial to the country at large. Home trade principles preclude the possibil ity of people losing by the operations of such gigantic schemers. Money in vested in your own community in the development of it's latent resources will give excellent returns, is ever under your own observation, and while the percentage of profit from some home investments may not be up to the representations made by the ma nipulators of stocks and the shearers of lambs in general, you are not SC likely to be a loser.

Larue Sum Paid Out.

In statement made by State Treas urer James L. Yates, he has paid out of the treasury during the past ten days $150,000. The largest payments of this sum have been made to the Arkansas State University. The first payment to the university was $65,000, portion of which was provided for in the deficiency bill passed by the recent legislature, the balance, $11,- SIS, on account of what is known as the Morrill, fund. This fund takes it's name from the late United States Sen- ator Justin S. Morrill, of Vermont Senator Merrill was staunch friend of the agricultural colleges of the country, and in 1858 introduced in Congress the first land grant bill. The gress, but was vetoed by President Buchanan. He reintroduced the bill in 1862, and it became law with the approval of President Lincoln. In the early '90s the Arkansas Industrial Uni versity, now the Arkansas University, commenced receiving it's pro rata of the grant, amounting to $10,000. It was increased .$1,000 every year, and for two years previous to this year the grant amounted to $25,000. This year the amount raid to the Arkansas University was $30,000, the last pay ment on which was made recently, amounting to $11,S18.

EQUITABLE PROFITS.
Cost of Production Should Always Be Factor in the Matter of Prices.

Profits should bear an equitable re- lation to cost of production. The farm CT who has money invested in lands, agricultural implements, stocks, and other things necessary to carry on his business, when selling his products must take into consideration the inter- est on his money invested, the wear and tear of farm equipment, the wages of hired help and salary for his own service. When he sells his products for less than pays the expenses nec- essary to carry on his work and culti- vate his crops, care for his stock, etc., he is the loser. The same principles apply to the person engaged in any other line of business. There is inter- est on capital employed, wages, taxes, license and cost of articles which con- prise the stock necessary for opera tion. Goods must be sold at a certain percentage of profit or there will be a case for the sheriff or the bank ruptcy court. In dealing with our fellow men we should always bear in mind the principles of business, and not exact too great profits or sell or buy at prices other than equitable. It is also a good thing to remember when great bargains are offered that cost of production and legitimate profits must be considered. Too low prices give cause for suspicion that goods are inferior ln some way, or that there is "nigger in the fence."

Martins Revenge.

A correspondent tells the story of two house martins nests built against an attic window of farm, to which the birds came for several successive years. Last spring, however, before they arrived, sparrow took up her abode in one of the nests.
 Shortly after the martins returned as usual, and one day the farm people noticed that the hole of the nest which the sparrow occupied had been blocked up. Next morning a boy climbed up to ascertain the meaning of this, and not finding any outlet broke away part of the nest, to find the poor little sparrow dead on her eggs.
 The house martins had walled her up for daring to take possession Of their house.-Country Life.

Crop Conditions In Arkansas.

Reports received by Commissioner Guy B. Tucker of the agricultural de partment from 32 counties in Ar kansas, indicate that the cotton crop in Arkansas this year will be frac- tion more than GA per cent of what it was last year. According to the es, innate based upon the return from the 32 counties, the number of bales that will be produced will be about 550,000. Some of the counties in which rain has been plentiful, have not reported. Commissioner Tucker estimates that the state this year will produce about 650,000 bales. The re- port shows that the corn crop is about half what it was last year. In nearly all the counties reported labor seems to be sufficient to meet all farm demands.

State Capital Notes
Diamond-Bearinu Rock.

Col. J. A. Woodson of Little Rock placed on exhibition recently at the Bureau of Mines, Manufactures and Agriculture a dozen or more speci- mems of diamond-bearing rock selected from the diamond field territory near Murfreesboro from lands owned by Col. Woodson and MT. Mauney. The lands of Col. Woodson and MT. Mau- ney adjoin those of the Reyburn-Stifft syndicate, in fact nearly surround the latter. Col. Woodson owns a tract of 160 acres east of the Reyburn-Stifft syndicate holdings, and MT Mauney owns between $500 and 4,000 acres The specimens presented t3 the bureau are in various stages of de composition. One piece of the perido- tite rock, taken from MT. Mauneys land and weighing about a pound, is in far advanced state of decomposition. It is expected this rock will disinte- grate in about three weeks, and much curiosity has been aroused at the agri- cultural department as to whether it contains one of more diamonds, 0. any. The piece of rock will be closely watched and the process of disintegra tion noted daily. There are other spec imens that will not decompose before the end of six months or a year, and until they decompose and crumble tn |: secret as to whether they contain dia- monds will not be divulged.

Time to Awaken.

Any plan devised that tends toward greater business standardization makes easier the building up of harmful combinations. During the past ten years billions of dollars have been sent to the large cities by the resi- dent of rural communities, and these billions have been used in building up trusts that work against the best in terests of the masses who reside in agricultural sections. Is it not time to awaken to the dangers of sending money away from the home town? 5i

No Site for Drinking Fountain.

The location Of the Knapp drinking fountain has never been decided upon, but Mayor w. E. Lemon still has the matter under adYisement. He has re. ceived many suggestions regarding the most suitable place for this foun. tain, and in all probability will within a day or so decide where it shall be placed. This fountain was bequeathed to the city by Mrs. Knapp, who died in Little Rock some three years ago. Inability to decide upon location has delayed it's erection.
