bought the farm where NJ. L. Misen. helmer has lived so long, and moved out from Little Rock. I am more than pleased to see all my old friends moving back to the country. It makes the country appear more like home.
 have just heard that the Iron Mountain shops here laid off all their men for twenty days. That will cause more of them to return.
 M. A. Olmstead, R. F. D. No. 3. Box IA, Little Rock, wants a good squirrel dog. He is foreman of a crew of express handlers at the union depot, where he can be seen any day. lie has the place vacated by Bruce Womack, and these two men have the record of handling more express matter in one day with a crew of men than any other at Little Rock. Bruce IS now train auditor on the Mo. Pac. system out of Little Rock.
 Most of the farmers of Pulaski county want to vote on the new sal ary bill for this county. If language means anything the initiative and ref erendum amendment gives them this privilege, and they should get busy with petitions at once and act on the matter before 1t is too late. The farmers have certain rights by law which they can have if they wish them. If they stand idly by and not use these rights they have no one to blame but themselves if the legisla- ture should later on be encouraged by their acquiescence in its acts, pass a law peonizing them and giving their lands to its pets as old Diaz peonized the Mexicans and gave them and their lands to his friends. I do not say there Is anything wrong with this act, but 1 do say that the farmer should pass on 1t, as he should have passed Non the roads acts, which he had the right to do. It will be a good time for them to commence using the referendum.
 
 At Corlis Beall's l found new boy, William Andrew, born March Both. l always get around in time to give the BealI boys an announce ment of their arrival in this old world.
 As I came by the first Beall on this road 1 found him butchering a beef. 1 did not expect any of it, but I spent the night at J. C. Gibson's and found some of it most excellent ly cooked for supper and breakfast. Matte Hinamon, Mrs. Cibson's lit tie grand daughter, was glad to see me. She appeared to think that l put her on an equality with her older brother, Gibson, and calmly climbed into my lap and took possession of me. Gibson monopolizes his grand father, or at least tries to.
 The first night l stopped at (. M. Priests. They have very fine farm and when they make their contem- plated improvements it will be a very valuable one. Their oldest daughter May Nell, was only a small girl when first knew her, now she was old enough to secure a position in the North Little Rock public schools last fall, where she taught to the entire satisfaction of the off cials until the schools closed. Some of the schools nearby will now have rare opportunity of securing an experienced teacher from a city school.
 Saturday morning l came by J. E. Mathis place and got to Albert Oar wins about ll30. I had hardly ar rived until Mrs. Caryin's mother, Mrs. Mathis, and daughter, Mrs. B. A. Phillips, and children, arrived. Mir. Carvin's father was already there. then Mrs. Bank Corder ot Jacksonville and Mrs. Wranitzky of Little Rock, sisters of MT. Garvin, arrived with their children, and there was a pretty good sized family re. union for dinner. 1 remained over un.l Sunday morning, instructlng Mir. Carvin on orchard pruning; II he can learn to manage an orchard successfully, he intends putting out large one.
 I took dinner with J. k. bolln al the Arkwa oil we'll. This well was as abandoned temporarily because of troubles of the owner, and will De
