ARKANSAS HOMESTEAD
 BUYS BACK-TO-THE-LAND

The Arkansas Homestead of Little Rock has purchased Back to-the-Land," a paper established by William R. Lighton and lately operated by H. c. Spaulding at Pine Bluff, and the two papers have been united under the name of the Arkansas Farmer and Homestead, with Clay Sloan of Black Rock as agricultural edition and John C. Small as manager. A new printing outfit has been in- stalled at Little Rock and the pa per is now published twice a month. This consolidation gives the Ark ansaS Farmer and Homestead a circulation of 30,000, and makes 1t one of the real strong agricultural papers of the South.

That sounds good, but we would much prefer to hear of actual work being started.

DIED FROM FIGHTING FIRE
That is Jury's Verdict But There
 is Suspicion of Murder

W. C. Mcintosh, prominent farmer who lived near Melrose, just across the line in Cleburne county, was found dead by the roadside not far from his home last Friday.
 Forest fires had been doing con- siderable damage in that neigh borhood and the coroner's jury who investigated the case returned a Yerdect to the effect that death was due to over exertion in fighting the fire. There is a sus- picion, however, that Mcintosh was murdered. He moved to that community from the East about Is years ago and started a sheep ranch. He was Well-to-do and prosperous but is said to have had trouble with people whom he ac. cused of stealing his sheep, and this strengthens the suspicion of foul play.

ONLY BRUNDIDCE
 AND HAYS WILL RUN
Gubernatorial Aspirants Continue To Quit the Race Until
 Only Two are Left

The gubernatoriai campaign is fairly under way and the field is not so large as was threatened for time.
 As had been expected for sever al weeks, the contestants narrow ed down to a pair, Col. Brundidge of Searcy, and Judge Hays of Camden. The race will be unique in several respects, one of which is that there is nothing in the per Sonal character that the other can assail. Both are good men, and while the lines will be sharply drawn, the people will realize that they will make no mistake in the election of either.
 The elimination process continu- ed right up to the last. Dr. (. H. Brough of the University an- nounced that he would not make the race at this time, but would be a candidate in 1910.
 Then T. Havis Nixon, for whom a boom was started upon his res ignation as Prosecuting Attorney of the Pine Bluff district, issued signed statement to the effect that he would not be a candidate for Governor or any other position at this time.
 Still another withdrawal was that of Gen. J. Kellogg of Little Rock, who announced that he would be unable to accede to the wishes of many friends to make the race for the nomination.
 This left the race to the Searcy and Camden statesmen, and incl dentally proved that one of the easiest ways to win fame is to have some one mention you for governor.
 Both Col. Brundidge and Judge Hays this week opened headquart- CTS in Little Rock, which will be maintained until the returns are received from the primary of June 21. K. F. Milwee, of Clarendon, Speaker of the House in 1911, is in active management of the Brundidge campaign. Harry Stewart, of Camden, who was pri- yate secretary to Senator Davis, and Dr. Nj. F. Dickinson, of Para gould, member of the Legislature from Greene, and former state secretary of the Farmers Union, are in charge of the Hays head quarters.

ORGANIZATION IS
 NEEDED IN 5. 5. WORK
President Page Points Out Need of Township Organization
 For Sunday Schools

To all persons interested in Sum- day school work in Independence county.
 The great State Convention is now a thing of history. Now, after the convention-what?
 Reviewing the work of this great meeting four things stand out prominently:
 First. A great need for more and better work. Only about one person in every eight in our state are connected with any Sunday school, and i'll a large majority of the schools, the work is not up to the standard.
 Second. A great opportunity is open to each and all to help to make the work what 1t should be. T am only one but l am one; 1 cannot do everything, but l can do something; what 1 can do, 1 ought to do, and by the help of God 1 will do," may and should be the motto of every Christian.
 Third. If the Sunday school work of any county is ever built up to what it should be, and what it can be, 1t must be done through organization-not an organization on paper, merely, but an organiza- ton which, in the words of one of our international workers is Doing Business" l."
 Fourth. The township IS the unit of 0rganization-the town ship association the medium through which the great masses of people must be reached.
 wish to again call attention to the fact that in our county. but six townships, namely, Black River, Dota, Logan, Big Bottom, Magness and Wycough are organized, and to repeat my call for volunteers to assist in organizing the remaining townships.
 Surely, since so many of our people have attended this great state convention, there must be some one ready to help to build up the Sunday school work in each of these unorganized town ships. If you are interested in the work of your own or some other township, do not wait for some one to take the lead but write me at once and let us get busy and find a way or make a way" to do the work that should be done. Read Philippians 4;13
 am hoping to see every town ship in Independence county or ganized before our county conven- ton, which be held at Bethesda, perhaps in August.
 Yours for our Sunday schools,
