FELON MAY DONATE LAND.

Little Rock, August 16.-Conviction of felony does not deprive citi- zen of Arkansas of anything but his suffrage and right to testify, is the gist of an opinion made by the attor- ney general Monday. It was rendered in reply to a letter received from a prosecuting attorney who stated a man in his district was convicted of a felony and now wanted to donate a section of land from the state. The reply stated that the man could do- nate the land, even though he had been deprived of his right to vote ol testify.

FORMER CITIZEN WRITES .AD- VISING ARKANSANS TO
 STAY AT HOME.
EDITOR LOG CABIN DEMOCRAT:

EDlTOR LOG SABlN DEMOCkAI
 While subscribing for your paper thought I would write up sketch of this country, as it probably would be of interest to those thinking of com | ing west. 1 have roamed across a good deal of the west hunting that "good country" The place where money grows on the trees, and have not found it yet.
 caught the rambling fever in 1896, while living near Greenbrier, Ark, from some cause. 1 was advised to try Texas 1 stayed in Lamar and Red River counties three years and decided it was not the right place. 1 next landed in Little Rock, ran on the street cars one summer and went back to Texas to stay one year. My fever got higher and 1 then moved to the Choctaw Nation for four years. It seemed to agree with me, but at the end of four years l was taken with a relapse and started again for that good country" so 1 went to Ar kansas again. 1 struck the state at Mena, Polk county, and went through Polk and into Montgomery, then to Yell, at Belleville. l stayed there one week and returned to Caddo, in the Choctaw, from where 1 started, no better off than when I left, only $500 worse off. 1 made two crops and again came the attack of fever.
 I next landed in Comanche coun ty, Oklahoma, and consider this the best country 1 have found yet, but it is no poor mans country, as land is too high for him to buy, ranging in price from $4 ,000 to $15,000 per quar- ter section During the time l have been here there has not been good crop made, and that has been four years. It is seldom a man gets over i've per cent on his money invested in land
 am considered a fair farmer out here, and will give figures on my four crops: First year (90 acres), 1,700 bushels of corn on 90 acres and seven bales of cotton on 40 acres. This was on a $7,O00 farm. Second year on same place, TOO bushels of corn on 50 acres and one bale of cotton on 40 acres. Third year on 5000 farm, 600 bushels of corn on 55 acres and 13 bales of cotton on 40 acres This year I have in 125 acres-50 in corn, which will make about 250 bushels of corn, and 60 acres in cotton, which looks good at present; 10 Tn oats, which were no good; } acres in patch es. The people who read this and are thinking of coming here had better consider we'll before they make the move It takes lots of money to farm here, as a man is compelled to have from four to eight head of mules or horses and $200 to $500 worth of tools.
 Since have been here l have made two trips into New Mexico and two in west Texas. I don't consider it a wise plan for a man of moderate means to undertake the west, and my advice is if you have little home, stay with it and don't catch the awful disease of rambling, for after once you get it there is little relief.

growers. none OF whom. how
ever. fear the comparison, as Florida
fruits long have had high, standing
In the Ohio Valley market and are
in no fear OF being crowded ont. One
Of the most interesting displays to
be made by both sections viii be that
OF grape fruit. Twenty years ago
these mammoth globes OF luscious
cirous pulp were unknown to cpl
cures. Today no breakfast table is
complete without them, and the de.
mand annually is much greater than
the supply. 1t is estimated that
100000 boxes Of grape fruit. aver
aging about so pieces to the box and
selling at an average OF 500 per
box. are consumed annually in the
United States. OF this amount
large percentage comes from Florida,
with California also producing an ap-
preciable quantity. while Central
America and the Islands in the Gulf
Of Mexico and the Caribbean sea sup
ply the rest OF the demand. 1t is ex-
pected that the general fruit display
at the Exposition will be the most
complete exhibit OF this kind ever
gathered together, with the South
showing a greater variety than any
other section OF the country.
