OF trustees of the college,, the presi-
dent Of Henderson, Brown. Rev.
George H. Crowell, and Rev. r. d.
Scott, presiding elder of the Arka-
leEphia district who have Jointly
written letter to Bishop Mccoy
requesting that Rev. Evans be sent
back to assist in the work at the
college that he was engaged in be-
fore coming TO Pine Bluff,
The Bishop stated he would grant
heir request providing he could find
a suitable man TO fill the pastorate
of the Lakeside church. as It was
necessary that the local church
should have pastor capable Of
taking care of the work,
In the event that the bishop de
cides on man to be sent to PIN
Bluff, Rev Evans will be trans
ferred to Arkadelphia, but if this

in that county Of working along lines
that work out for the best and are
successful. That is what Morgan coun-
ty farmers ought to do. We ought to
raise more Kaftit corn more cane feed
more Cow-peas, in fact more of the
things we arc buying snd keep our
money at home. With our capacity
to raise everything that grows in shis
latitude If seems i great mistake that
we buy corn, potatoes &c when we
could keep that money at home.
Probably the farmers will think a news
paper man ought not bait in or far M
ing but we do know one thing and its
this, Morgan county is ust as good a
county as Butler county kansas and we
can raise just what they raise there.
II we would make study of WHAT to
raise and then RAISE it, we would be
better of than they are for we have
better markets. NJ organ county is not
doing itself justice. Thousands OF
dollars So out of here every year for
potatoes when we have thousands oI
acres that will riase the evey bes, oi
potatoes. The only reason we dout
raise them is our people wont bottle
with then. When we learn to diver.
