SCATTERED ARKANSANS.
A Few Letters from Ex-citizens
Who Still Love Their
Old Home.

Just dllCI lDC uISl pl tue NCdI IL -
the habit of many of THE TINES
readers scattered throughout the
country to write to their old home
paper enclosing the price for another
year, and telling us a little Of condi-
tions about them. We appreciate
these letters; and feel that in many
instances the message they bring may
be of interest to our readers. Here
are a few of the latest:
A. Wunderlch, af Parsons, Kansas,
says: kansas is booming, and the
outlook for the year is gratifying in
every way. Enclosed find my tribute
to the old reliable TIMES, Long may
its columns reflect the prosperity Of
its section
d. d. McWhirter, Of Hillsboro, Tex
as: "The cotton farmers Of this sec
ton are hard hit, but hopeful, 1t does
us good in the meantime to read of
North Arkansas general prosperity
and good luck. We congratulate You,"
J. G. jenkins, Of Hermleigh, Texas,
writes; 1--WE raised bountiful crops
the past year and are blessed with
plenty. We made So bales of cotton
on my farm, besides lots of maize,
Katlir corn and sorghum, Farmers are
busy preparing for another crop, We
are having fine weather, We had one
light snow in January. / like West
Texas fine, but my mind often runs
back to old frienes and relatives in
Arkansas, where | spent the happiest
days of my life"
J, T. Speer, of Rupert Idaho, says;
1--WE are having fine weather in Idaho;
everything is looking very prosperous
here, and cattle, hogs, grain and and
hay are all good price. The TIMES
is always a welcome visitor, for our
old friends in Arkansas are still dear
to us"
S, |, Ritchey, Of Garnet, Montana,
writes: 81 have leased and bonded my
mines, at least some of them, for
$4,000. get twenty per cent royalty,
which will put me on easy street for
awhile, The ore shows strong and pays
net $4,000 per ton, We have eXpe-
renced the mildest winter that we
have seen for 40 years. Snow only
lies - inches Times are hard here,
except mining, which is good, Many
are making fortunes from zinc, copper,
gold and silver, GIVE my kind regards
to all friends, am pleased to see in
the TIMES the good report from the
mines in North Arkansas, and hope it
will continue to improve. Send me
the TINES until | squawk,"
DR.. ], II, Walker, of Alyord, Texas
81 noticed in your last paper you are
still after delinquent subscribers and
as | have not paid my subscription !
suppose you are after me, so enclose
my check for 81, | suppose all others
have paid up ia full II check is not
good please return 1t and | will write
you another like to get paper
from my old home and think the
TINES is the best OF all, Then, too,
my father Thought great deal OF
the editor, and he (the editor) being
my old captain during that long
aud "bloodless" spanish American
war, all taken together makes me in
cline to the TIMES sympathi2e with
newspaper men In their collections
they are like the doetorSi must do
their work first and get pay when sub
scribers see ht to pay,'
Dr. G., a, Gamble, osteopath Of Salt
Lake City, Utah, sends his respects to
old Harrison friends, and then quotes
a little poem which goes to show that
all men have their troubles;
How dear to my heart are patients I've
treated,
And promptly adjusted their hips and
their spinci
They gave nae their smiles, and faith
ful they promised
They'd gratefully pay If I'd take
them on time,
But we've waited 10 vain for the stuff
that will Jingle,
That our landlord AYERS he must have
with all speed,
The gaS'man, the coal man, the grocer
are NtOtnlnRi
Along with your smiles II is coin that
we need,
You wonder, OycI yes, why | urge you
TO settle
Your bin here and nowi don't you
know=ean't you guess
I'm afraid you will die and pass DER
the river
And never once think 70 leave your
address
