From Franklin County, Texas.

Dear "Old Cabin" My father, who is in business at Hagans- port, gave me copy of the Cabin of recent date, the first copy l have seen in about B years and I was sure glad to peruse the items from my old home county. It seems a long time indeed since I tramped on old Faulkner county soil. All the news ill the paper was intensely interesting, but l suppose most all of the "old timers" have passed over to answer the roll call in another world.
 learned my b c's out of the Log Cabin when A. F. Living ston was editor over quarter of a century ago. see Prof. Waugh ter is still teaching. He was my first teacher and I would sure like to see him. Well do I remember back in the eighties when J. M. c. Vaughter as Jeremiah" and Will Smith as "Uncle John, from old Greenbrier and myself as Tim othy Thistle" and P. H. Glover as "I. B. Small" sent in the weekly news to the Cabin when Editor Livingston ran the paper. This brings back old time memories in deed and the debates we used to have at old Cadron Valley and Shady Grove when such men as Bill Hinkle, Riley Giddens, Pat Powell, Press Glover, Altman Sur ratt and myself used to cross lances in fierce but friendly debate. I took "Greely's advice and came west I have often thought of the old country and how proud I am to claim old Arkansas as my native state. I would give great deal just to take ride up the old road from Hinkle's ford on Blackfork to old Greenbrier to see how old things would look after A years absence, a long time indeed.
 I am in the best poor mans country in the world. Plenty of wood and water, the richest land in the world, good people, good society, daily mail at our door, tel ephone handy, 12 miles to railroad, produce mostly corn and cotton, fine hog and COW country, stock of all kinds do we'll here, very mild winters, good health, land is mod erately low and there is a great many vacant houses here. I live in Franklin county. Red River, Titus, Morris, Bowie and Cass counties are all about alike. Over half of the people have left here this fall for West Texas. We tried the west in 'S6 and '87. They have no wood and too much wind and water. My advice to any of those wishing to try Texas is to stop in one of the above mentioned coun- ties.
 I expect to come back on the 18th of next November. I will have been away just 25 years on that date. If any of my old neigh bors around Greenbrier sees this, write me and will surely appre- Ciate same.
 Please find check on my bank for SI. co for which send me The Log Cabin Democrat for another year. I will close by hoping you and the people of old Faulkner county may have the greatest of luck and success.

Both branches of the legislature were not in session Saturday, hay ing adjourned in order to have the "rooms renovated and weather strips placed upon the windows. y It would seem that this work, if necessary at all, should have been done prior to the meeting of the legislature, especially since it means an added cost of over S1ooo for the idlensss of the legislature during the day. But of course nothing in this action can be construed to mean that the legis- lature desires to continue its ses- sion longer than sixty days.

THE CAPITOL INVESTIGATION.

The Gazette is in favor of the fullest investigation of the new capitol.
 There was talk in the Senate on Thursday of abrogating on the ground of fraud the contract now held by Caldwell & Drake. We do not think the contract should be broken unless fraud is shown to have been committed in the con- struction of the state house, and we do not believe such fraud has beed committed. Of course the legislature can satisfy itself on this point by an investigation con- ducted with the aid of architects and other experts.
 But even if no fraud has been committed in the construction of the capitol there in a sentiment ln favor of not allowing Caldwell & Drake to do any work on the building beyond their present con- tract because they admit having used money to try to get the capi- tol appropriation bill through the last legislature. This is largely a question of ethics, which may be stated this way:
 If contractors for public build ing are guilty of turpitude should they be allowed to finish that building if their turpitude does involve the honesty and good character of the materials and work in the building?
 We think Ithe main considera- ton is not the moral character of the contractors, but whether the new state house is being built ac- cording to the contract and wheth- CT the state is getting full and hon. est value for every dollar spent. The people expect the present leg islature to determine whether the capitol is what the contract calls for. George w. Donaghey says Ii Is not. Summon him and call o1 him to prove his assertions. The legislature should not adjourn with any capitol charges unan- swered. Arkansas Gazette.

We are glad that our representa- tive in the lower house of the leg islature, Prof. T. J. Bullion, heart fly concurs with The Log Cabin Democrat in the opinion that the general assembly should complete its labors and adjourn within sixty days-or ninety at the outside. He states the Speaker Hamiter takes the same view.

the best one yet held by our

We know of nothing that is so
enjoyable as these annual fair
gatherings among our home peo.
pie. They give such an excel.

old aequaintances and forming
new ones.
Comrade L Gee gave us q
copy of the Marion (Iowa) Reg.
lister last week containing an ac-
count OF the annual reunion Of
his old regiment, the oath Iowa,
