STATE CONVICT FARM.
Resolution for Visit by Legislature
Defeated- Other Doings. *
Little Rock, Jan. 24.—Yesterday was
state convict farm day in the house,
most of the proceedings in that body
being devoted to consideration of mat
ters bearing upon the farm. Senator
Butt’s resolution inviting Attorney
General Murphy to address the legis
lature on the farm purchase, also in
viting Gov. Davis to be present and
participate in the discussion, was in
definitely postponed, 52 to 39. Sena
Huddleston’s concurrent resolution
for a visit of inspection by the legis
lature to the farm was defeated. A
resolution by Representative Keith,
requesting the members of the peni
tentiary board other than the govern
or to furnish to the house a full state
ment touching the farm purchase, met
the same fate.
Representative Butler introduced
an anti-cigarette bill.
The house adopted a resolution pro
viding for renovating the house and
laying a new carpet.
The house passed Senator Logan’s
resolution asking the Arkansas dele
gation in congress to take necessary
action to secure the return to Arkan
sas of the Cherokee parallelogram,
embracing about 7,000,000 acres.
House day in the senate yielded a
volume of business on measures sent
in from the lower branch. Apart
from that, the most important matter
was the bill to create the position of
county school superintendent, amend
ments suggested by the committee on
education being considered. This is
the bill providing for county superin
tendents of the public schools, defin
ing his duties and fixing the salary.
The senate adjourned at noon until
Monday morning.
House bill no 5 (Apple), fixing the
salaries of the county officers of Jack
son county was taken up in the senate
and read twice and referred to the
judiciary committee, who announced
that they would meet Wednesday
night, January 28, to consider thie
bill.
House bill No. 6 (Chrisp), repealing
pan act prohibiting chasiiig deer with
' dogs in certain townships in White
and Jackson counties was also read
twice and referred to the committee
on agriculture.

AN ANSWER TO “EVERY YEAR.”
By General Pike.
The Spring will be much brighter,
Every year.
If your heart is lighter,
Every’year;
And Summer flowers will bloom.
There’ll be no Autumn gloom,
If you'll not fret and fume,
Every year.
I.ife IS a sum of losses,
Every year;
If you count the "weak" your "crosses,"
Every year.
But you must not—you must rally,
Make the weak your burden gladly.
Do not groan and dilly-dally
Every year.
If it’s growing darker—crgder,
Every year;
’Tis not that the heart grows older,
Every year.
Coal is scarce—the price is high
And that is the reason why ,
It grows colder—and we sigh
Every year
Have the days so little gladness.
Every year,
That you only note the sadness.
Every year?
IvOve consists of more than dancing,
More than “eyes with passion glancing,"
Eove like that is not entrancing
Every year.
General Pike wrote many poems,
Every year.
One that will not brighten homes is
"Every year."
See the bright side not the sorrow
Grow old boldly—do not borrow
Sadness from an unknown morrow.
Every year.

ters of Confederacy, Arkansas Divis
ion* outlined by state historian, Mrs.

nition of the states as individual con
federates, and the recognition of the
slave system.
Read also the Constitution of the
Confederate States, discussing the
two documents in connection.
See “Davis’ Rise and Fall of the

Horseshoe.”—Ticknor.
Each member of Liicien C. Ggpogj
Chapter is requested to give the
above programme special attention.
Very Respectfully,
Mrs. C. H. Wilmans,
Secretary Arkansas Division.
DITTO NEWPORT.
It is difficult to turn a deaf ear to
misfortune, real or pretended, but
Batesville must have gotten a repu
tation abroad for unusual generosity
to mendicants. Not a day passes
that one is not called upon one or
more times to contribute to the ne
cessities or wants of persons not of
our own sections, but entire strangers
here. The thing is becoming irksome
to the most charitable and tender
hearted. If these people are really as
unfortunate as they pretend, our peo
ple are being called upon to bear the
burdens that should be borne by other
communities. Begging is forbidden
by law in most cities and we begin to
see that it is necessary for the pro
j tection of citizens.—Bee.

TRUST COMPANY RESUMES.
i _
The Little Rock Trust Company
resumed business on Saturday morn
ing.
Atter the receivership question was
settled in the negative the directors
r were able to again assume full charge
) and to satisfy the minds of the deposi
■ tors, have concluded to pay 25 per
> cent on all demands. Of course all
f matured demands will be paid in full;
i the 25 per cent provision refers only
> to those claims on which the trust
> company has the 90-day privilege.
The trust company is prepared to
distribute 8125,000 on Saturday if it
should be called for.
Mrs. Arthur Fels and her little sou
returned Sunday to their home at
‘ Newport after a very pleasant visit to
1 her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Simon
' Adler.—Batesville Guard.
The Citizen learned from reliable
authority today that the Iron Moun
’ tain freight division will be moved
' from this place to Hoxie the 15th ol
L next month. The move will affecl
this place but slightly, for very few o1
the railroad men whom the change
will affect live here. The locals wil
run from this place just the same, sc
none of the offices will be moved
The passenger division will remaii
unchanged. In return for the change
,. four or five operators for a dispatch
9 ers office will be located here. The
I Y. M. C. A. will suffer the most fron:
r the move. Economic conditions are
- what caused the change.—Poplai
Bluff Citizen.

“ AIN,T IT THE TRUTH.”
A man told us the other day that vve
did not print all the things that hap
pened. We should say we didn’t! In
the first place, we have others who
depend on us for a living. If we pub
lished all that happened we would
soon be with the angels. In order to
please the people, we must print only
nice things about them and leave the
rest to gossips. Yes, it is a fact we
don’t print all the news. If we did,
wouldn’t it make spicy reading? But
it would be for one week only. The
next week you would read our obitu
ary and there would be another editor
in heaven.—Fulton Telegraph.
