ne WlSa 10 say lAsb lew WoiHs to the people of Pope county in re gard to being rcprcscntatcd at the State Fair, We worked zealousIy to get our people sufficiently interested to start county fair organization of our own, so that we might have q competitive display Of our farm prod fuets and other articles worthy of ex hibition at home, but we have seen the matter fail for want of sufficient interest being taken by the masses ofthe people.

 We now urge our farmers and stock raisers in Pope county to avail themselves of the opportunity which the State fair will afford them, to show what we can do. Good fortune 1 helps and fayors those, who helD themselves. This is an age when we must progress upon our own merits. If we want to secure the benefit which accrues from a large accession of industrious laboring men, and en- terprising capitalists, we must do something to show that we have q country which merits and in yites this kind of immigration. It I will not do fer us to sit down and wait, without making an effort. for ourselves, for other people to come here to make us rich, great and pros porous. We must show by our own prosperity and thrift that the others can prosper and do well by coming here. The best evidence oi our prosperity, the best evidence of our | resources and capabilities, and the most convincing argument we can make to strangers, who are seeking new homes. is to show the fruits and products and growths off our soil. As the tree is known and prized for the exceJleney of it's fruit, so We can con vince the world of the desirability of Arkansas as a farmers home and as a promising fed for the erterprising capitalist, by showing the products and results of the efforts of those who are here.

 We earnestly urge it upon the far mers of Pope County to see to it that our county is honorably represented in the display of farm products, which will be made at the State fair We have one of the best coun- ties in the State, and it lies right in the path of the immigrant who is seeking new homes in the west. Any exertion which we make to place our county and it's attractions prominently before the many pros pectors who will visit the State Fair, will be amply rewarded.

 Now let us do our duty on this oc- casion. Let us see who are our live men. Let us see who is wiling to take little trouble and little pains to properly show off our county's merits. Let@us see how many will be willing now to do something prac- tlcal for our county. We always have plenty of VERY patriotic gentle men who are exceedingly jealous to serve their country when there is an office to fill or distinguished honor to be conferred; let us see now who are really the beneGactors and friends of our county and State. To those who will now do something for the honor of our county will be due more praise than to any blatant of flee seeker who ever mounted the stump. Farmers often complain of THEIR interests being neglected and overlooked by our rulers and off cials but now they have an opporru- nifty to strike a blow for themselves. Let us see if they will do it.

The Michigan Farmer, in reviewing the
prices OF seven important sales of thor
Cughbred Short-horns, and considering
the prices then paid for what constitute.
the ordinary farm Short-horn and the
Short-hnrn Of the breeder, says:


These sales seem to prove that all those
bred from the early stock, and the indi-
vlduals selected, crossed and mated by
the still of the owner, still enjoy con-
sideration among breeders that no change
can destroy. Within the past year there
have been sold in England, heifer calves
taken from this country at over $4,000
each, or 4,200 guineas. Why is thisl
Because the breeding men get enough for
their progeny to remunerate them, and
because 1t is found that the size, early
maturity, perfection Of form, and excel
lence OF constitution are so combined and
so deeply bred in, that they are reliable
for the improvement of all other cattle in
these respects. They occupy the same
position as the pure Hammond sheep do
smongst the Merino breeders of breeding
stock. Those who have given attention
to this business and are expert in the sci
snce, will perfectly understand why these
cattle rank so high and bring so much
money. The breeders for the market use

The bulk of gold in the world steadily

foot of gold weighs, then, over nineteen
thousand ounces avoirdupois, and every
such ounce of fine gold is worth accord
ing to our coinage) somewhat more than
eighteen dollars, so that the whole cubic
foot of gold would be worth little more
than third of a million of dollars. A
cubic yard of solid gold would be worth
twenty-seven times as much as that, or
over nine million dollars, and 66O cubic
yards would contain somewhat more
than the $3.50, 100000 of gold in the
world ten years ago. These 6GO cubic
yards would be contained within a room

What is capital and what is labor,
The query sounds like thrice-told tale.
men have heard it so often; yet it is a
question pithy with importance at all
times, and must continue so while civil
zation exists. 1t is the shuttle to indus
try's loom, ever in motion when in dustrv
moves; vital and operative; potent in
shaping the results which come from in
dustry. This question must be settled
by men; it is an outgrowth of mems busi-
ness relations; it is for each generation to
settle to suit itself. In times past might
subdued right, and the question of capi
tai and labor was decided bv capital
alone. In our day might and right are
about of equal strength; while the power
of the one has dwarfed in coming down
through the ages, the others has grown;
and now each comes before the bar of
human justice as respondent, and no
longer the one acts as the master and
prosecutor of the other.


This question is Vsry much considered
nowadays; all classes of men are thinkirr
over the relative rewards of the two mo-
tors of industry. And what is the result?
A better understanding, a more Just dis
elimination. Heretofore the emplove
looked upon the employer as an enemy;
now he considers him as a fellow-worker
whose interests under the laws are largely
identical with his own. And so they are.
the man who has hundred thousand
dollars in business is no more capitalist
than he that invests hundred, and the
man they employ is as much a capitalist
as either. The workingman's capital is
his labor and skill, and these he invests
in his employers business the moment he
enters his employ. Both are partners;
and if justice prevail there need be no
enmity, and both will be proportionately
interested in the joint product of their
money and labor. But it is here that the
hitch comes; each is anxious for the most
he can get, and he who has the upper
hand, forgetful of justice, often takes
more than his share. The weaker party
becomes dissatisfied, and then sets il a
period of mutual distrust and ill-feeling,
If justice prevailed, we repeat, this state
of things could not exist, and in its stead
would reign harmony and content.

Amongst the families composing Rus
sian village, a state of isolation is impos-
sible. The heads of the household must
often meet together and consult in the
village assembly, and their daily occupa-
tons must be influenced by the communal
DEGREES. They cannot begin to NOW the
hay or plow the fallow field until the vii
'lage assembly has passed resolution on
the subject. If a peasant becomes
drunkard or takes some equally efficient
means to become insOlvent, every family
in the village has right to complain, not
merely in the interests of public morality,
but from selfish motives, because all the
families are collectively responsible for
his taxes. For the same reason no peas
ant can permanently leave the village
without the consent of the commune, and
this consent will not be granted until the
applicant gives satisfactory security for
the fulfilment of all his actual and future
liabilities. If peasant wishes to 90
away for a short time, in order to work
elsewhere, he must obtain written per-
mission, which serves him as passport
during his absence; and he may be re-
called at any moment by a communal de-
cree. In reality he is rarely recalled SC
long as he sends home regularly the full
amount of his taxes-including the dues
which he has to pay for the temporary
passport-but sometimes the commune
uses the power of recall for the purpose
of extorting money from the absent men,
