OPENED THEIR EYES. The Little Rock Board of Trade sees the New
 Brinkley.

When the special train of Pull mans, dining, library and special cars arrived from Little Rock Tuesday noon, they were given a real taste of the new Brinkley spirit.
 Disembarkirg frcm their train they were assembled on the plat form and a very hearty and cordial welcome was given them by Mayor T. H. Jackson after which Ray Gill responded in a most eloquent manner. Then the party was hurriedly loaded into carriages and buggies and were shown the new Brinkley and the fast disappearing rem- embranees of the old Brinkley. They were driven narth en New Orleans Ave to the corporate limits, thence West to No"+l New York thence South across town to Willow and thence East to South Main and thence back North on Main thro' the business
 
 part to Cypress thence on Cypress back to the eepas.
 After the ride, H. L. Remrnel. President of the Board of Trade was called on and spoke in most glowing terms of what they had seen. the wonderful surprise that the new Blinkley had fur nished them.
 Gov. Donaghey was then called en and while the train men were calling 'laboard, he handed Mon roe county and Brinkley in part icular some glowing compliments for the wonderful spirit and business ability displayed in saving and rebuilding the town in the face of such crushing dis advantages.
 Three cheers for the new BHnklsy were given with a vociferous shout by the Little Rock boosters and in response Brinkley gave a like number for the lively bunch from the City of Roses.
 Gov. Denaghey said: "this is the first time I've seen Brinkley since the day after the terrible cyclone and I can't understand how you people have been able to do so much in so short a time. And too, see that everything is being built on grander and more broader plans. It shows that Brinkley has some business men who are worthy to be called great minded or else the town would never have been saved and have been able to come out of. the ter ible calamity in the marvellous way she has. All honor to Brinkley and to those whose long heads and guiding hands have saved the city and forced the outside world to see and admire the wonderful spirit and indomi- natable will.

MISSION OF TIE LAND.
TO Produce Commodities For the serV-
ice of Mankind

TO Produce Commodities For the serV-
ice of Mankind.
The mission of the land is to pro
duce and keep ON producing food, live
stock. lumber and other commodities
for the service of man. He who owns
land and is Indifferent to this is guilty
of a moral wrong and be who takes
good land out of commission and sur
fers it to lie unproductivc ana useless
IS guilty Of a greater one This is the
only criterion by which We can prop
erly judge Of the right of an individual
70 own land in large tracts.
The good results attendant upon
small individual holdings are natural.
The purposes of nature in the upward
evolution of man are usually better
carried ont in this way. and not be-
cause, as is so frequently argued,
every man has an inherent right to its
ownership. The lazy, the incapable
and the densely ignorant assuredly
have no such right. and land is too
precious and its mission too high to be
thus wasted.
II the owner of a great country es-
tate can farm his land as we'll as or
better than if it were in small hold
ings: if. following the precept of Swift,
he made two ears Of corn or two
blades Of grass grow where one grew
before; if be supply his section with
better breed of horses, cattle or sheep,
well and good No one with any
knowledge of economies could say he
was doing any injury to the world or
mankind 1t is not the amount Of land
that he owns. but what he does with
1t for which he is morally responsible.
