Years in Arkansas. ”

tiles and is a feature of the fair,
had attempted to write a book,
styling it “Three Years in Ar
kansas,” which is a libel on ev
ery honest man and woman in
the state.
After quoting a few extracts
from the book, the speaker said
that the author of such senti
ments should, in case he ever
entered the state, be scourged
from its borders. His remarks
on this subject elicited great ap
plause.
