Many farmer ships his honey to

called to it they do not use it.

REPLY TO JOHN KENT

Ozan, May 16. Our friend John
Henry asks a number Of questions
not at all pertinent which | will not
stop to consider, as an answer to
them would in no wise throw any
light on the main subject under
consideration.
He says, ave want the Court
House at Hope" All That's o
fine reason why removal should
take place. Who does be mean by
t h t important plural pronoun
"We7' So far as | have been able
to ascertain, that big "We' only
means few real estate owners in
the town of Hope and their "Cob-
toters" like our friend John Henry,
the "Little Giant" of Bodcaw, He
goes wild in his extravagant praises
of Hope, and the only so called ar
gument he presents in favor of re-
moval are a large string of bald
statements in fulsome praise of the
town of Hope, only one of which
do | propose to notice, and that is
his assertion that Hope is the best
cotton market in Southwest Arkan
sas." We can prove that Ozan paid
as good or better prices for cotton
and seed than did Hope or any other
place in the state of Arkansas;
therefore the Court House ought to
be at Ozan, provided always that
the best cotton market is the best
place for the Court House, which
of course | do not claim. lie says
there are "fve different directions
by which you can reach Hope by
rail" Well, if that's so, is there
not a good railway from Hope to

from the geographical center of the
county, and not the center of popn.

ry Notwithstanding.
He says it will take "Grace, grit
and green backs to move 1.-THE
Court House we suppose he means

has the green backs, | will admit,
and some OF her business men NAV
have "grit," but ] doubt if there is
any "Grace" in the combination,
which l take to mean Hope and
John Henry.
Now | have not a word against
my friend John Henry personally,
or against the people of the good
city of Hope collectively; many of
whom | do know will not vote to
tax themselves (more than the enor.
nous tax they are already paying)
simply to build a hundred thousand
dollar Court House and Jail in the
town of Hope for the benefit of
few already wealthy real estate
owners, who would be the only ones
directly benefited by removal. Hav-
ing as much right to make asser.
tons as my friend John Henry, /
do boldly assert that the great mass
of the people are well satisfied with
the present status quo in Hampstead
county, and only few men who
they would be personally
benefited are making all this fuss
about removal, which has so aroused
my friend John Henry as to cause
him to spill ink in a futile effort to
please II few real estate men and
large property owners in Hope, to
the detriment Of the great mass of
TAX payers in the county.
John Henry says that the "fel.
low who pays the least tax is the
one who 'hollers' the loudesto (and
the "fustest"). Well, if that be So
he pays the least tax in The county
for he is the only one so f,r Th,I
