BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.

An observer of the passing show of
life is impressed with the smallness
and cheapness of mems ambitions.
There is ground for the cynic's remark.
Il am not surprised that most men
have their price. but that their price is
so low" In the matter of life pur-
poses and achievements many persons
value themselves too cheaply. A man of
talents, for Instance, will sell OUT
his character completely for the sake
of a two or three thousand dollar po-
litical position which is not likely to
last longer than four years. In order
to make more or less money, some
business men do not hesitate to sacri-
fee truth and honor and friendship
and patriotism. A mournful spectacle
is that which greets the student of his
times when he comes to consider the
ends for which people spend their
lives,

desire to know God, and the ability to
commune with him, set men above all

/ There is a profound truth in the Oft

at rest until they rest in thee"
| Mere goodness is scarcely an object

| product of the search after God.
The only ambition that is certain of
realization is the ambition to know
God.

been so real and rare and true that

and helpful; primarily, they were ard

Opposed to Candidate Whisky. N

MT. Editor:
 l want 10 saya few words about our elections.
 Our primary election that Is set for the 25th day of March, promises to be the most interesting one held in St. Francis county for several years past. The candidates are all q clever set cf fellows. But there is too much treat ing and drinking going on; they ought to run sober and honorable races. Whisky is a bad thing, especially Candidate Whisky. When men get drunk on it they are dangerous citi- zens, liable to do any old mean thing. It is a crime to make man drunk, and for him to go home in that condi- tion is an iusult to his wife and children.
 Another bad habit candidates have fallen into, is sending jugs of whisky over the county during election times. This practice ought to be condemned by every citizen in St. Francis county: il not only makes the voters drunk and unfit to vote, but it interferes with the peace and good order of the country generally. But. worst of all, it is teaching and encouraging the bright boys and young men of the country 10 become drunkards instead of respectable citizens. our primary election two years ago WIS q drunken disgrace caused by Candidate Whisky. | believe the people of this county are opposed 10 these drunken elections. | would like to hear from every town ship on this question

Annual Convention southern Cotton
 Association.
GiIickaIalI, Ark, | 2

ChickaIah, Ark, Feb. 10. lqos. To tie People of Arkansas
 The regular annual convention of tie Southern Cotton Association will be held at Dallas. Texas, on February 19 and 20. This will be one of the most important conventions 10 the cotton growing and business interests of the South, ever held in the history of tie Association. Subjects will be discussed and addresses delivered on every leading phase of tie cotton industry.
 The welcome address on the part of the State of Texas will be made by His Excellency, Governor T. NJ. Camp bell. There will be other prominent speakers, among them $. N. D. North, of the census bureau, Washington, D. (.
 Questions pertaining to warehous- ing. financing and marketing the cot ton crop will be fully discussed and steps taken to improve existing meth ods and conditions. Checking the credit system and stressing the neces- sity for diversified agriculture are also questions of prime importance at this time.
 The enactment of State and Federal laws which will confne trading in our large cotton exchanges to q strictly legitimate basis is a matter of vital importance at this time, and should receive the attention of the best post ed men of the South.
 This will be the first time this great organization las held it's annual con- vention west of the Mississippi river, and I am very anxious to see the great State of Arkansas represented by hundreds of delegates The rail- roads will give rate of one and one- third fare for the round trip, which will make il very cheap from all parts of our state The people must rally and stand for their rights if they ex- peet to make progress in the future marketing of their great staple crop. Farmers, merchants, manufacturers, and all av0cations in the South inter- ested in the fight 10 maintain good prices for the cotton crop are cordially invited 10 attend this convention, whether they be members of the Southern Cotton Association or other organizations.
 Arkansas has led all the states in the reduction of acreage and holding for good prices; now let us show our loyalty 10 the principles of the South ern Cotton Association by sending big delegation to this convention.
 The convention will be held under the local auspices of the Dallas Com mercial Club, and there are great ar rangements being made for our enter tainment. F. II. BURNETT.

Mrs. oleveland's Romance.

@AtftoNo
The romance of President Cleveland's mar
rage was one of the most interesting in our
Presidential history. 1t was the first marriage
of President of the United States while In
Office. Mrs. Cleveland's father had been a law
partner of the President and when he died his
daughter, then young girl, became Mrs. Cleve-
lands ward. At the time of the marriage the
President was 40 and his bride only %. Such
disparity in years is ordinarily frowned upon,
but the circumstances of this match were ex-
traordinary. Mrs. Cleveland became one of the
most charming mistresses the White House has
ever had. She bore herself with great dignity,
reserve and distinction. yet was quite as demo
cratic as her station would justify her in being.
Her attitude toward her husband was at all
times wholly exemplary. She exalted him, but
without ostentation, and without in the least
belittling herself. In private life she maintain
ed the reserve, even the seclusion, that her dis
tinquished husband sought. Throughout MIR.
Clevelands illness, in their common joys and
SORROWS, in her husbands long period of suffer-
ing, and now in her own bereavement. she has
set an admirable example of wifely devotion.
and dignity.
