CLAIMS FOR YOUR CASH.

Just at this time the mail order houses are active in flooding the country with big handsomely gotten up catalogues, quoting attractive prices on staple articles and making all sorts of big sounding claims for your cash. They do not offer to ex- change their goods for the farmers eggs poultry, butter or other produce. They don't trust penny's worth, but make you pay cash before you get the goods and the freight besides. If anything is wrong with the goods or they do not suit you, they will not exchange them. They pay no taxes into your city or county treas ury, with which our schools are main tained, roads, bridges, and sidewalks built. They do not contribute to our churches charitable institutions, nor to our poor.

BRYAN'S LETTER.

The letters constituting the official announcement of Mir. Bryan's change from the cabinet to private life were made public at the White House at 6 o'clock tonight. They follow: My Dear Mr President:
 "It is with sincere regret that I have reached the conclusion that should return to you the commission of secretary of state with which you honored me at the beginning of youl administration.
 "Obedient to your sense of duty and actuated by the highest motives, You have prepared for transmission tc the German government a note in which I cannot join without violating g what I deem to be an obligation to my country and the issue involved is of such moment that to remain a member of the cabinet would be un- fair to you as it would be to the cause which is nearest my heart. namely the prevention of war.
 'I therefore respectfully tender my resignation to take effect when the note is sent unless you prefer an earlier hour. Alike desirous of reach ing a peaceful solution of the problem arising out of the use of submarines against merchantmen we find our selves differing irreconcilably as to the methods which should be em- ployed
 "It falls to your lot to speak off cially for the nation. I consider 1t to be none the less my duty to en-

REPAlNT SIGN BOARD.

movement is now under way ts provide funds for the repainting of the large sign board near the Frisco station, headed What Springdale Has. Sometime ago this board which has always been considered a wonderful advertisement for the towr in view of the fact that it is read by most every traveller on all passenger trains passing through Springdale, was reprinted. and the work was of very poor order. Some of the scenes painted on the board look more like the efforts of a novice, than painter, and recently most of the letters on the board have faded away, until now the board would look better torn down. There is also some repairs needed on the board and unless this can be done. and the board painted in the proper way, dis carding the greater part of the scenery" The News moves that the board be torn down and removed.

SIXTY YEARS AGO.

Eli E. Sill, called at the News of flee Thursday of last week, June 3. and gave us information fer a nice article.
 Mir. Sill states that sixty years ago June 3, 1855, that he eradeled wheat in Arkan sas, and he wants to know how many others residing in this section cut wheat that time in this year
 MT. Sill cut his wheat in what is now Izard county, for a man by the name of As Finnery
 He says there was little wheat raised in this section at that time, as there was very little demand for the grain. What little grain was sold was shipped down White River in a boat
 MT. Sill says that the year 1S55, was an especially good crop year, be- ing plenty of rain up to July 1. MT. Sill at that time resided in Indiana, and made the trip here on horse back, returning the same way.

RUNNING A PAPER.

Running a newspaper is just like running hotel, only different. When a man goes into a hotel and finds something on the table which does not suit him, he does not raise hades with the landolrd and tell him to stor his old hotel. Well hardly. He sets that dish to one side and wades into the many dishes that suit him. It is different with some newspaper read CTS. They find an article occasionally that does not suit them exactly and without stopping to think it may please hundreds of other readers, make grandstand play and tell the editor how the paper should be run and what should be put into it. But such people are becoming fewer every year.
