e lis, consequently if there is no con formity to what really is, then false hood is the inevitable result. Truth therefore is dependant on what really Is, so that what is truth to- day, If the REALLY IS, or facts change tomorrow so does the truth change also; for they co-exist together and are inseparable. Just as long as the facts exist, does truth remain unchanged; but just as soon as facts cease to exist, truth dies with them. Surely this is so plain that it cannot be misunderstood.

 Now as to the state of things ten or twelve or even eighteen years ago, we do not propose to notice, and will content ourselves by saying, mot then, BUT NOW, is what demands at .ention, neither d. I write in the interest Of any zeal estate dealers, nor political aspirants; but for truths salse, and my fellowmen that are suffering for lack of bread caused by lack of employment, as l know | bilcb tilOuSaLdS III blN Atoi oA ehho East are ill such condition and anxious to know how and where to better themselves. To such then let me speak of facts as l find them and are worth knowing the world over: AS far as I have travelled over the State, have found the people to be Natures noblemen. Having passed through priyation and suffering themselves, their sym pathy for others in like condition, blows like stream all over the State, and is the key to unlock the treasuries of the heart as well as the home and pantry, the which has de- seryedly earned for them the reputa- tion of being tue most hospitable people on earth. Hence it is just as natural for such people at every opening to show what they naturally are, as well as to detest, abhor, sperm and drive out the deceiyer. 1 never was in country where the deceiver and selfish money grabber is so soon played out,' as here. And I suppose this is one reason why such classes cry down Arkan- sas. Well, let it be so, and as the newcomers from nearly all parts of the world are settling down every week, and just as they come in con tact with the healthful and genlal stream of sympathy which blows so abundandly, they also drink, and in turn add to the bllssful source which permeates society, so that, according to present appearance, thls is likely to continue to be very unhealthy l State for all classes of deceiyers and robbers.

 Who shall come?

 Any man, from any place under the sun willing to be good peacea- ble citizen, willing and ready to pro vide honestly for the support of his own family, to all such come and welcome, as good country as can be found on the face of the earth awaits you, and as good hospitable people as ever graced the earth will extend to you the hand of fellowship, with greetings of cheer and comfort. But let it be understood by all that gold smiths, silver-smiths, trinket- manufacturers, and hair curriers' are not yet in demand. However we may have an opening for such by and by, when we get the gold fields opened up, which are said to exist in the Southern part of the State, and the silver mines opened up and in good running order, which are said to exist in the Boston Mount aims. Just now bewing and broad axes, and men not afraid to use them, agricultural implements of all kinds, wagons of all kinds and men capable of using them are greatly in demand, and quite the order of the day. Any man that wants hls own farm and home can easily get them, for besides the great amount of land in the hands of private parties for sale cheap and on the most reasona- ble terms, 1 am informed by the State, and also U. $. land officers, there are thousands of acres in the State subject to donation and home steading. This has been so often stated, re-stated and reiterated that many nave taken oifense at it, and are bold enough to say "Arkansas is begging for immigration" So pro vokingly bitter are the attacks and insults, that the heading of this arti- cle seems very appropriate. And we are not ashamed in the face of these things to ask, ''Is it a sin to tell the truth?" Is it wrong to tell the world what people inhabit the State of Arkansas? If so, for once in my life, I feel proud of the privi- lege of being that sinner. Is 1t wrong to point the homeless, bread less, workless, yet willing sons oi honest labor, to Arkansas where they can get these? And as these in crease, the stream of human sympa- thy must dry up in our hearts, and human feelings sink into iiendism, before we cease to point our fellow men to where they can better theii condition. And were 1 only able te carry out the feelings and desire O! my heart, I would publish in every
