The S. E. Arkansas League
Empires,

OF late there has been great
deal of complaint among the
ball-players about some of the
decisions of the Umpires.
Whether these complaints are
just or unjust we do not know !;
but one thing we do know, and
that is the man chosen to umpire
a game of baseball should know
the rules of the game and be en-
tirely impartial in his decisions,
and one above reproach. 1t Is
no easy matter for any team of
players to bear tamely a rotten
decision of an Umpire which
robs them of a hard fought bat
tie and we'll earned victory, and
when such a thing happens,
there is likely to be trough
house. The man who umplres
should be extremely cautious
and have no pets, in the game,
to reward and no enemies to
punish.

struction is made, $500. And
should such road be construct
ed from Fountain Hill to the
Monticello and Hamburg road
where it touches my lands, [
will pay all assessments against
my property there and donate
$500 to the road construction
fund. To get such a road from
Monticello to Hamburg, | will
cheerfully donate $1,000 in addi-
ton to assessments on my lands
in Drew and Ashley counties.
In the county of Pettis in Mis-
souri, Tin which is my home), we
have built nearly POO miles of
rock roads, and are continually
extending our systems of roads,
and | feel safe in saying that the
building Of such roads in this
county has added more than $40
per acre to all lands within five
miles of the roads, and probably
more than So per acre to every
acre of farm land in the county.
Our farms sell for from S75 to
$3.50 per acre, and if the counties
of Ashley and Drew in
Arkansas, will build permanent
good roads along the main lines
of travel, and edradicate the
fever tick SO as to get out from
under the quarantine line handi-
cap, the value of every farm in
the two counties will more than
double, at once, and there is no
good reason why it would not
closely approximate the value of
lands of Central Missouri in a
few years.
