RESOURCES OF
 THIS STATE

If Arkansas gets the full benefit of campaign of advertising which has just been launched by the Mis- souri Pacific-Iron Mountain for the purpose of settling the unoccupied lands and developing the latent resources of the state, hundreds of industrious settlers and millions of working capital should in the near future be attracted to the state.
 This exploitation of the lands and resources of the state is in the form of display advertisements in the large agricultural papers all over the north and east; of the publication of illustrated newspa- per and magazine articles showing what the farmers of Arkansas have done and are doing; of the promi- nent mention of Arkansas in time tables and folders which have a wide circulation among people who travel in every part of the country,
The log cabin Democrat., 1908-10-30

and, supplementing all this, of the issuance of one of the handsomest booklets ever issued by railroad |, entitled "The Homebuilder iu Arkansas. "
 This book, which is sent free to every old state inquirer about Ar kansas lands, has SS pages and maps of the state and United States. The cover design in colors is a thing of beauty. It shows an Ar kansas farm home surrounded by orchard and vineyard, with a herd of thoroughbred Jerseys grazing on an alfalfa meadow, in the tore grounS. There are about 7c. illus trations of the various phases of farm life, some of them represent ing scenes in our own locality. The states position among other commonwealths, its advantageous location in the matter of market conveniences and the favorable eli matic conditions are all discussed in a way that appeals to the home seekers. After these subjects there is a discussion of the various crops and industries of the farm. and then particular mention is made of
The log cabin Democrat., 1908-10-30

each locality, the whole array O. information being carefully in. dexed.
 The advertising in the news papers brings to the railroad many inquiries about Arkansas land and investments. When such inquiries are received, copy of the book, with other information is for warded and T. C. Kimber, Immigration Agent ot the Company, follows this with a series of personal let ters giving more specific facts, and from this time until the correspond ent is located, the railroad keeps ID close touch with him, peyer falling to put iu word for Arkan- SaS.

FROM THE
 CAPITAL CITY

Little Rock, Oct. 3o.-Plans for a monster celebration in Argenta Monday night have been complet- ed, to mark the inauguration of the street car line in that town. It was not Known for sure the electric lines would be ready for operation Monday until last night, when the machinery was installed, so defn- ite plans for the celebration Mon- day, were not commenced until this morning.
 Little Rock is to have a Tam many club. A real live Tammany club, and it is expected to cut prominent figure in local politics in the city campaign next spring. It is to be called the Tammany Club, too, and behind it are to be number of old time politicians of the city and the ones who elect ed w. R. Duley mayor in the special election last spring when Warren E. Lemon resigned from the office. The movements of the organizers are under cover, but that Little Rock will soon have a Tammany Club, has leaked out in spite of their earnest efforts to con- ceal them.
 Members of the supreme court have consented to give portion of the courts time Monday to the hearing of arguments in the Charles Parsel murder case, on a motion for bail. Parsel is charged with kill ing Leon s. Ehrenberg, his former business partner in plumbing shop here, and bail was denied to him under a writ of habeas corpus by Judge R. J. Lea, in the circuit court.
 Uncle and nephew, both charged with killing a person, were yester- day released on bail, through the effort of their attorney, Lewis Rho- ton. R. E. Clay, who sometime ago shot and killed Dan Holiday, his brother in law, in a wagon yard here, and who was held to the grand jury without bail, was indict- ed by the grand jury yesterday for murder in the second degree, and he was released upon a bond of $25oo. Arthur Clay, his nephew, who stat bed and killed Marshall Null, a negro boy, Wednesday morning at Natural Steps, was held to the grand jury by Justice D. Meisner, for manslaughter, and released on bond of SIooo.
 The secretary of the Hampstead county levee district number I, failed to certify to the levying court of that county the amount of taxes to be levied for that purpose for the year and the levy was not made. Attorney General Kirby has now been asked if the court can reassemble and legally make the levy. He informs the people of Hampstead county that the court can make levies on the day pre- scribed by law, the first Monday in October, and no other.
