Negro Preacher Speaks.

Rev. J. G. Robinson, D. D.,
pastor of the African Methodist
Episcopal church, Corner Sixth
and Main Streets, in addressing
his congregation last night,
said:
Il have now been in Newport
long enough to somewhat under
stand the condition of things. |
have pastored in Mississippi,
Georgia, Kentucky and Ohio, |
have also pastored in several Ar
kansas cities including Little
Rock and Fort Smith, ard l can
say Of q truth there is TO place
where ] have ever served, where
the white people are more kindly
disposed toward our people than
they are in Newport. The Off
GERS are kind and just, the mer-
chants are accommodating and
ever ready to lend a helping
hand to those who are honest
and upright, and in many ways
a general good feeling exists be-
tween the races.
[ have also found that some of
the best and most progressive
negroes of the state live here in
Newport, and in Jackson county.
We talk about 2 race problem.
There is no race problem where
conditions exist as they exist
here. So long as the better ele-
ment of the white people, and
the better element of the colored
people understand each other,
and get along, as do the people
of Newport, just that long will
there be no friction. But, there
is an element of people amongst
US, that I wish ell the people of
Newport good people white
and colored would get after, and
get them to do better, and that
is that class that are living to-
gether, and openly breaking the
laws of God and the land by liv-
ing as man and wife, or in
houses as such and are not mar
ried." again: | had occasion
to meet the Honorable Board of
Education last night, and find
that every member of that board
has the betterment of the ne
gro at heart. And they are sur
prised that we are so careless
about the keeping of the school
house in decent and sanitary or
der. The State Superintendent
said while here attending the
county institute, that we ought
to keep that house in better
shape, as to convince the board
that we want a better building,
but that the board could and
would only be convinced, by the
patrons and teachers keeping
the present house and yards
clean, decorated and in decent
condition. I am going to call a
meeting of the Negro citizens
together at an early date, and
ask them to form a school i'm
provement association, and II
there is already one here, I am
going to ask that it be reorgan,
lied, and get to work. l shall
ask the school board to meet
with us.
My last word to you tonight

the public to the fact, that the
Arkansas Annual conference OF

SEED SELECTION
FOR NEXT YEAR
Is A Matter The Farmer Should
Consider Now and Lay Aside
Best.

hand to begin preparations for
neEt years crops. Two matters
OF Importance should be consid-
cred right now. One is seed Sc
lection and the other is deep,
fall blowing. The seed corn for
planting next spring can be Sc
lected during October and No
Vember. The best plan is to go
through the field and select the
best ears by hand, and put them
away to dry. You can make a
good rack for drying corn for
seed by the use of woven wire
fencing. Take two strips six
feet long, and place a sufficient
number of six inch blocks be
tween the strips and fasten
them with staples, so they would
have the same appearance as if
two strips of Wire fencing were
fastened on each side Of fence
posts. The ears of corn can be
placed through the wire mesh
es, letting one end of the ear
rest in the mesh Of one strip Of
wire and the other end of the
ear in the mesh of the other
strip. This will make a simple
homemade rack that can be
suspended from the rafters in
the barn if you like, and will
make a good way to dry the
seed corn. In selecting the
ears get the best filled out ones
from strong stalks.
There are various simple
methods of testing the seed for
termination. You can take
piece of domstic and mark off
squares and number the squares.
Then take three Or more grains
from each ear, and place them
ir the squares, and number or
tag the ear accordingly. Take
the grains from different parts
of the ear. Then cover the
cloth with another, and roll W
and wrap it in piece of Old
sack, or some such material. Al
ter this soak it in warm Watec'
for about thirty minutes and
then take it out and lay away
where it cannot freeze. Keep il
moist until the corn sprouts
we'll. Then make an examlna- :
ton of the grains. If they ger
inmate we'll and the roots put
out are strong and healthy, save
the corresponding ears. If not,
discard them. Continue these
rests rhl ough the winter, as you
have time, and when spring
comes you will have good and
reliable seed to plant. Seed
corn that will terminate only
80 per cent will depreciate your
yield ten bushels per acre, if
your land will produce at the
rate of fifty bushels per acre.
Test your cotton and grain
seed too. By all means select
your cotton seed this fall, TAX
ing into consideration the stock
development, and the boil and all
the characteristics that make
good cotton. You will profit by
it. By all means break your
land, or as much of it as posi-
BILE this fall, and break it deep.
It is safe to go two inches deep
er than you have plowed during
the past year. 1t will pay in
most instances to use a sub
soiler after the turning pillow.
Remember that just as deep as
you pillow your land this fall you
will have a storage for water
and plant food next year when
the crop is growing. The drouth
of the past season should en-
.phasize the Importance of deep
fall blowing.
We have good folks and good
ov,d

MUCH MONEY N
SAUK COUNTY BANKS

That Sank county is growing rapid
Iy in wealth there is no mistake. Dur
ing recent years banks have been
established at Merrimack, Plain, La
Vale and Lime Ridge. All seem to
be receiving large sums on deposit
from their patrons.
Notwithstanding there are now
| fourteen banks in the county when
only seven banks existed few years
ago, Sank City is to have a new in
stitution. The wealth OF the county
had been accommodating rapidly within
the past decade and if the place keeps
up for fifty years or more the land
will flow with milk and honey. To
have so much money IN the banks
shows that the county is populated
with thrifty people and not many
rural counties can equal Sank
when il comes to sheckles.
AS Will be seen by the following the
banks of the county contains over five
and half million dollars. The
amount on deposit in the cities and
villages of the county, according to
the figuresErecentIy published in the |
county newspapers, are as follows:
