Plantation for Rent

We desire to make five year con tract on a place as desirable from every standpoint as the best farm in the Little Rock district cotton lands.
 There are 1500 acres in the tract, 900 of which are in high state of cultivation The place is thoroughly ditched and is clean all over. It is above the highest overflow, without levee. Soil is mostly rich, sandy foam varied occasionally by mix ture of sandy and stiff soil.
 Gin, press and engine comparative ly new. There is an attractive cot tage for lessee. The tenants houses are probably the best in the district
 There is railroad station on the place, and it is also reached by about 10 miles of pike out of Little Rock.
 The place is well stocked with live stock and implements, which must be purchased by the lessee. Likewise the lease must be made by financial ly responsible person, or must carry a strong endorsement.
 Any one with money, who does not own his own place, will, We believe, find this a great opportunity.

cry of justice, it is the cry of discontented
intelligence, it is the cry of a lawful protest.
Let US therefore take up this cry, 60 to the
State, ask her to take over the toll roads ofthe
State or so amend the noted Shoemaker Law,
enabling the County Commissioners of the
various Counties to use the State appropriation
first in acquiring toll roads by equitable pur-
chase, thus insuring justice to the enterprising
road investor, equalizing taxation and equal
benefit to all citizens of the State.
I'm Frederick county, Maryland, there are
1900 miles or more of roads to pike exclusive
of What are already piked, at 100000 per
mile, and they have been knowa to cost more.
1t would.take an investment of twelve million
dollars or eight hundred years to pike all roads
at the above rate of fourteen thousand dollars
per year, the appropriation of the State as
Frederick county's portion. The system of
road building, whether of fTelford or Macadam,
great rival systems, is too much for my mind
under the thought have been able to give it.
I therefore leave this subject to your wisdom
to master intending only to give you material
over which your best thought should be direct

The Wedding Ring.

How many women know the full signif-
icance of the wedding ring?
Once in the early history of the race
when warriors and rulers thought it degrad-
ing to know anything of writing, every great
man owned signet ring, upon which was
engraved some emblem peculiar to him
alone. With this ring he put his stamp
on orders and documents.
The giving of this ring to any one was
a sign of the greatest love and trust and
endowed the receiver with all the powers
of the owner Sometimes when men were
absent or suffering from illness they gave
their rings to their wives so that they might
transact their business for them, and this
custom continued until the ring became a
symbol of wifehood.
Gradually the ring lost its original sig
nifcance of authority and became more
and more token of affection. Then ro-
nance began to weave poetic fancies
about the symbol.
1t must be made from pure gold, that
purest of metals, to signify the lasting de-
votion between husband and wife; it must
be perfect circle, the figure which was
used by the ancients to denote eternity;
it must be placed upon the left hand to
show that the wife was subject to the
husband, and lastly, it must be worn upon
the third finger, because certain nerve
is supposed to run directly from there to
the heart. New York Journal.

He Had A Bad Habit.

The manager Of life insurance company
had the floor.
"Life insurance companies" he was
saving, care as particular about the people
they already have on their lists as they are
about getting them on in the beginning.
They are rich, of course, but they are no
more anxious to take in man who will
die of disease within the first year or two
than they are to take in perfectly healthy
man and have him hazard his life by tax
ing personal risks in dangerous pursuits
or by travel in unhealthy countries.
s'I remember funny instance that oc-
Cured once while I was living in New
England. One of our SO, 900 men had
a way of calling man liar in the most
careless and indiscriminate manner and
with only the merest or no provocation.
One day he was in our office and casually
mentioned the fact that he was going to
Kentucky.
'When?' inquired the manager alertly.
" Next week.

Gambling On The Ocean.

The recent gambling disclosures. in con-
nection with several Atlantic liners are re-
sponsible for a movement in which all the
leading companies are active. For a long
time it has been known that card sharpers
of the worst type are in the habit of trav-
cling by the mail boats, and despite repeat
ed complaints by passengers, the officials
have been unable to stamp out the evil.
Now. however, it is the intention of
the steamship companies to place photo
graphs of all known card sharpers in the
various ticket Offices, with view of pre-
venting them from securing berths. 1t is
also intended to refuse tickets to all
suspects, and on both sides Of the Atlantic
all who embark will be scrutinized, so that
"crooks' who have obtained tickets from
confederates may be turned back.

Trouble Of Physicians.

People expect of physicians charitable
deeds much more numerous than those re-
quired of ordinary mortals. Here is the
naked statement made recently by promi-
nent physician: II am old now," said
he, approaching the age of 20 years.
The other day l was reviewing my career
and going over my account books, care
fully preserved from the beginning of my
practice. I found on those books debts
amounting to s1O4, 900, for the whole of
which l would accept IA cents. The pub
lie would cry out Indignantly upon doctor
who refused his art to those unable to pay
him, and every doctor has worthy patients
who take the best of his time and skill per-
haps, and pay him nothing, but there are
hosts of people who seem to think them
selves justified in imposing upon him.
Some of those who owe me money ride
past my door in carriages.

Had Done It Already.

A local clergyman was engaged in con-

day, when each started telling stories of
weddings he had performed. One of the
