Arkansas Raising Hogs.

good corn crop and the high prices paid for hogs have had the effect of arousing much interest in hog raising in Arkansas. Not only are our farmers raising hogs, but they are giving more attention to improving the quality of their herds. Conditions in this state are ideal for the production of cheap pork, and Arkansas should rank among the leading swine states. We notice that the National Feeders and Breeders Show at Ft. Worth, Texas, March Is to Is, is offering big premiums to hog raisers, and Arkan- sas ought to get in the contest and capture some of that money. X single hog may win s275, if a Duroc- Jersey: s250, if a Berkshire; sl95, if Poland China, and sl75 if a Tamworth. We would be proud to record the fact, later on, that an Arkansas farmer had brought some of this money home.

BANQUET AT HOTEL MARION
Helena and Marianna Lodges Attend in Body, Upwards of an Hundred Strong. An Important Epoch
 in History of Forrest City

in History Of Forrest City
 The Elks swooped down upon us about l50 or 200 strong and captured the city Wednesday, and the keys thereto were turned over to them with the information that, ii you don't see what you want, just ask for it, and il will be forthcoming, . and 1t was
 They began to arrive from all di- rectiOns- just few at first who though scattered abroad, felt special interest iii the occasion, and made il convenient t1 be here upon business or social matters at the right time, and there were faite few of these and others wh3 came from various and .sundry place. to congratulate Forrest City upon her success in securing dispensation from Che Supreme EX- alted Ruler for q local antlered herd of this noble order for Forrest City. and participate in the installation ceremonies. But the main body of visitors came from Helena and Mari anna, special train bringing in the Marianne lodge in body, about fifty two in number, and the Helena lodge with about tifty-six completed the host of jolly ElkS who came to install the new lodge and administer the oath and create other Elks,
 Headquarters were established in the directors room of the Bank of Forrest City, and at intervals during the day the gentlemen who compose the list of charter members walk ed up to the captains desk, , made formal application, paid their money, and awaited their fate. MT. R. w Benson was chosen for temporary secretary, and right well did he at tend to the duties incumbent upon him.
 Messrs. Eugene Williams and A I. Naccaro were appointed committee to invite representatives of the press to be present at the banquet, which l they did in a most cordial manner, and for which we beg to make our acknowledgements
 At $50 the Elks met promptly at the city lodge hall over Aldridge & Jones store, and proceeded to manu- faeture the new lodge, and here we have to draw the veil, because we were not so fortunate as to be one of them hence not permitted to be present, and the proceedings are secret. But we understand that Messrs. Preston Buford, John Tanker sley and Bard Nichols were the only candidates who were actually worked on, and they were given the de grees' in the usual fashion. with all appurtenances, horns, etc, the others. We presume simply taking the oath of ElkdOm.
 The work occupied the time until ll:5o, when the lodge adjourned, and came in a body to the Hotel Marion, where a magnificent banquet was served by NIT. Josh Brown, the genial host. Covers were spread for 200, and the spread was discussed and thor oughly enjoyed by all who were SO fortunate as to be present.
 A magnificent and dainty menu from the press of Landvoigt X Nada- kin was given each guest as souvenir of the happy occasion, and contained on the front page the words:

FOR \ STATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM.

Of all the bills that may be passed by the present legislature the measure that would do Arkansas the greatest good if its provisions were carried out is the good roads bill that Representa- tive Toler will soon introduce in the house
 This measure provides for the ere atien of state bureau. whose head is to be civil engineer. He is to be the chief highway and bridge authority of the state. State roads are to be built with convict labor, and the bill would have these eight trunk line turnpikes built first.
 No. l, from Little Rock north, va Conway, Clinton, Marshall and Noun tain Home to the state line.
 No. ?. from Little Rock northeast, via Searcy, Newport, Walnut Ridge and Corning.
 No. ,, from Little Rock east, via Lonoke, DeYaH's Bluff, Hrinkley and Forrest City to West Memphis.
 No. i, from Little Rock southeast to Pine BlufT Star City, Monticello and Lake Village.
 No. 5, from Little Rock south to Sheridan Fordyce, Hampton, Fl Do rado and Scotland.
 No 6, from Little Rock to Benton, Malvern, Philadelphia, Prescott, Hope and Texarkana.
 No. ', from Little Rock to Hot Springs, Mt. Ida, Mena, Rocky Con- fort, and thence to the state line.
 No. s, from Little Rock to Perry vile, Russellville, Clarksyille, Benton vile, Sulphur Springs, and thence to the state line.
 Of course these roads would cost money. But these roads would mean millions of dollars of increased land values, thousands of new farms and thousands of new people. Moreover, they would mean both saving of money and making of new money for the people living on them by making easier the getting of goods and SUD- plies and the getting of products to market.
 A bill starting works of such magni- tude will of course call for careful consideration by the legislature. But the legislature could not better em. ploy it's time and could not better spend the money of the people than by putting Arkansas in the way oi getting system of state highways Arkansas Gazette
 It has been our intention for some time to start a Good Road Boosting Campaign, but the bill mentioned above, and the comment made there. on by the Gazette, so lucidly sets forth the gist of the idea that any. thing we could now write would be a mere reiteration of those ideas.
 This paper has always stood for the things that it considered best for the advancement of Forrest City, St. Francis county, and the state of Ar
 
 Toler proposes 10 introduce carrying as it does, provisions for having built eight great trunk lineturnpikes would mean much for this city, county and state. It will be remembered that during last summer and fall when the Good Roads enthusiasm was at its height, that the road east, from Little Rock, via Lonoke, Deyall's Bluff, Brinkley and Forrest City 10 West Memphis, mentioned in the bill, was seriously considered by the authorities in Crittenden and in this county. We are glad to note that the matter has been revived, and will watch with interest, and with hopes and prayers for its successful outcome.
