Blessed Is The Man.

How blessed is the man who asks no office, low or high. who rustles at his useful task, nor yearns to bleed and diel No spoiled ambitions make him sore or cause him to repine; and every day at ev- cry door, he gets the Welcome" sign. He is no politicians pup, to follow him through town; no whip oersnapper higher up can ever call Ii n down. He does not need to whine and sob in some cheap state mans ears, that he may hold his
 inkY job another term of years. It isn t needful to pretend he loves the unwashed jay; he needn't call his bosom friend each rube who comes his way. He cares not for smiles or frowns of people of high place. in his old blue hand-me- downs. he tolls with skill and grace. From all official letters free, he herds his lowing kine, and prunes the spreading pumpkin tree, and trains the cabbage vine. Ad- ministrations oft may change, and patriots may weep; such things do not his plans derange. or make him lose his sleep. Let others break their hearts to nab those prizes dear to men; all quietly he keepeth tab upon his setting hen. How blesse is the man who'd take no office small or bigt Who'd rather stay at home and make a bouioi' for his pig. Walt Mason.

Are You Still Farming Poor Land?

The farmer who would have rich land quickest and at least expense must at once adopt the plan of at least one soil improving crop for each non-soil-improving crop grown and sold. When this has been done, and not before, the foundation will have been laid for an enduring system of agriculture.
 What does this mean? Simply that we, each and every one, must see to it, beginning this year, that every possible acre is kept busy winter and summer growing soil building crops.

FAVOR THREE CENT RATE.
Petitions From nuttiQ and feIsenthal Sent
 to Members of Legislature.

Two numerously signed petitions one from Huttig and one from Felsenthal, were sent to Hen. J. Monroe Smith, state senator from this district, Thursday bearing the following heading:
 To THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF
 THE ARKANSAS LEGISLATURE
 Now IN SESSION:
 We. the undersigned, represent that we are citizens of Arkansas and that we are patrons of the va rious railroads and that we do more or less travelling in the state. and we are of the opinion that the two cent rate is not sufficient to enable railway companies to give the pub lie such accommodations as the public should have. and we. there fore. respectfully request that your body pass bill at this session in- creasing the passenger rate for railroads in this state from two to three cents SO that the railway company will be able to furnish 10 the public safe and adequate faeili- ties. We recognize the fact that the people need good service, and that the railway companies are un- able to furnish the very best serv- ice unless they have funds to pro- vide the means for the same.
 It is gradually dawning upon the minds of the people that there has been too much adverse legislation against the railroads. of recent years the country over and sense of justice is being aroused that the error should be corrected.
 Arkansas biggest industry out side of farming is that of lumber manufacturing and the laboring people realize that the railroads be- ing the largest users of lumber must make a profit in order to maintain and better equip their rolling stock. Also that when the railroads are prosperous the lum- Der industry is prosperous and they are willing to pay the little differ ence for what riding they do in or der to secure steady employment
 Railroads are unlike individuals in way, as the individual can con- duct his business, to certain ex- tent, to suit himself, but the law making bodies have been curtailing the rights of the railroads and dic- tating how their funds should be spent until it seems to be the con- sensus of opinion that there is no profit whatever being made by the railroads and the depression along that line of industry is effecting all other business to a certain extent, and the lumber industry more than any other.
