MAY GET INTO
 TWO LEAGUES

From Fort Smith comes the news that the Border City has the prospect of getting in two leagues, the Arkan- sas, Oklahoma and Kansas, and the Arkansas State League, which IS soon to be organized. There is under or ganization a company to plat an addl- tion to Fort Smith just across the Oklahoma State line, and the street car company will make an extension of it's lines to that vicinity as soon as the company is incorporated. Here a new baseball park will be built, as Sunday ball can be played in Okla homa. This will make Fort Smith a town to be sought after, as it Is so situated that trains pour hundreds of people in from the adjoining towns to attend a Sunday game of baseball, the attendance always running from 2,000 to 5000 paid admissions. Fort Smith now has the best baseball ground and stands in the State, in connection with a magnificent pleasure park, and If a franchise is secured in 10th leagues, each park will be in service, with one team transferring it's Sunday games to Bokoosha or Chant, Okla. which are mining camps. It is hardly thought that Fort Smith will try to support team in two leagues.

STRAIGHT FROM THE SHOULDER
TO THE MARK.

The farmers, Gods chosen band of
workers, are the people who follow
in the footsteps OF His teachings, and
exist on the gifts Of His goodness.
Isn't 1t grand to think that the
farmer depends solely on the grace
of the Maker for the sustenance Of
himself and family.
sHe Is the noble parsonage, who by
his life's toll, clothes and feeds the
massive populace Of this great uni
verse.
The markets Of the entire world
are controlled by the output of the
farmer but on account OF his neglect
of education and Of his enslaving him
self, by the drudgery or raising one
crop, he rarely reaps the benefits of
his own labors, nor gets the advantage
the Immense power he controls, but
does not exercise over the markets
to any gain for himself.
Y The main obstacle has been that
the average farmer has made him
self content with struggling along
eking out a bare existence by the
sweat Of his brow, while the specu-
lators, money oppressors and other
robbers are doing the thinking for
them, and naturally when they do the
thinking the poor farmer pays for it..
On the other hand IL the farmer would
do a little sound thinking for him
self, in d few years he would be able
to be asolutely independent Of any
one.
/ ask you as men, shall this go on?
No our worthy countrymen, no! Let
us down the oppressor by studying
these things out for ourselves and
get our price for our products and
completely ignore the thieves who aim
to rob u.s. And let us not be content
with handing our crops over to the.
merchant and receiving in return only
what that self generous octupus deems
necessary to part with.
If we allow this to continue the
southern farmer Will always remain
in the same old rut, and believe me.
brethren, the farther you go down the
present road the deeper the rut, and
the harder to pull out Of it. It is
sad but true when we see year after
year what small bit Of their earn
ings some Of our beloved brethren are
able to retain for themselves when the
season is ended and the cotton sold.
The speculating merchant has pocket
ed the money saying under his
breath, poor fools which is the only
time when chance sympathetic
clause for the farmer enters his brain.
They claim to be your friends, but
are they? will leave it to you to-
decide.
We have tried, and talked, and tried
again, to have you get the germ of
