Better to hope though the clouds
hang low,
And to keep the eyes still lifted;
For the sweet blue sky will soon

There was never night without a

Or an evening without a morning,
And the darkest hour, as the proverb
goes,
Is the hour before the dawning.

Little Rock, April 2.-The Ma tlonal Department of the Inter. for is making arrangements to open the sund lands in Arkansas for distribution like any other government lands. This state ment is borne out by notices sent out from Washington, and from the various land offices in this state, to all concerned to the effect that those holding claims upon any lands shall file their claims with the Little Rock Un- ited States Land Office imme. diately and to register any pro- test they may desire, against the distribution of this land.
 This land sank in 1913, at which time the mighty Missis sippi river flowed uphill for the space of three days. It lies in a number of counties in the ex. treme northeast corner of the state, and with the completion of the Tyronza Drainage System now contemplated, this land will be extrem ely productive, declare many who know considerable of the property.
