<...> Jones, of Florida, is neglecting his duties at Washington and is at Detroit Mich., besieging the heart of a maiden of thirty summers with matrimonial intent. The young lady does not give the Senator much encouragement, but he is none the less devoted and determined and may yet come off winner. Many a girl marries a fellow "just to get rid of him" - so they say.

From present indications our best prospect for a railroad is from the Gould system - the Carthage and Batesville road; now being surveyed. It is stated now that the survey will be made to Bald Knob, in White county, instead of Batesville. Bald Knob is on the Iron Mountain road. A road is to be built from that point to Memphis, Tenn., and the contract for building the same has been let. This certainly is a most practicable route, and we think the road will be speedily pushed to completion. This line as surveyed will run within a half mile of Yellville.

Mr A C Hull of Harrison, in a letter to the Baxter County Citizen, gives the following interesting statistics relative to lands in his district: "This land district embraces twelve counties and a small franction each of two other counties, and there is in the above mentioned territory 2,124,400 acres of vacant land, and the same is distributed in the various counties as follows: Baxter, 186,800' Benton, 76,400; Boone, 117,000; Carroll, 145,800; Fulton 82,000; Izard, 55,000; Madison 211,900; Marion 181,600; Newton, 375,000; Searcy, 270,000; S<.... hole torn in paper> 290,000; Washington 86,500, at <....> the township of Independence 5,6<....> and two townships in Van Buren county 40,000, all of which makes up the grand total mentioned above. Now, to show you how rapidly this territory is being taken, <.....> will say, there has been 59,700 acres of government land in the district taken up during the last six months, a monthly average of 9,950 acres, which is an indication of what we all may expect in the future twelve moths in the way of settlement on our public domain."

The Arkansas Gazette thinks Secretary Manning "must go." the Gazette says: "Peplying to <...> for facts Secretary manning gravely <...> House that he has said <...> to get silver into circulation.' The law recongnizes the quality of gold and silver as leagl tender - as equal in paying all debts due the government <...>from the govenment <...> one individual or corporation or <...> to another individual or corporation. This Mr Manning know as well as he knows that he has never hesitated to use the power given him by his official position to dishonor silver before the country. The law the Secretary of the Treasury is sworn to enfoce recongized gold and silver - not one to the pre<...> of the other - as fall legal tenders in all sums and for all purposes. In redeeming governmental bonds Mr Manning pays only in gold, thus discrediting and dishonoring silver, which should also be need for that purpose. Yet Mr Manning speaking officially as Secretary of The Treasury, claims to have used his "utmost efforts to get silver into circulation" Every well informed person in the United States knows he has used his "utmost efforts" to keep silver out of circulation. Manning must go.

There is a general railroad strike on the entire Gould southwestern system. Freight traffic is generally suspended and business is at a standstill. The strikers at Little Rock number about 250. It is said the real issue in the strike, and the cause that has led the men at Little Rock to unite with other Knights of Labor is that the Gould roads have violated the agreement made and entered into at St Louis in Mar, 1885, when-the strike waa settled by Gov. Glick of Kansas and Gov. Crittenden of Missouri on the part of the strikers, and Ex Gov Brown, solicitor of the Gould Southwestern system on the part of the railroads. They say the agreement was that no man should be discharged for having participated in the strike or for belonging to any labor organization; that no man should demand an increase of wages or salary without giving the road thirty days' notice, and that the road should make no reduction without first giving the men to be effected by such reduction thirty day's notice, and that no man should be discharged then, or at any time thereafter, without a full, fair and impartial trial. The strikers claim that this agreement has been violated in the case of Hall, foreman of the shops at Marshall, Texas who they claim was discharged last week without any previous notification, for the reason that he had made himself obnoxious by participating in certain labor meetings. The receivers of the road say that he was discharged for incompetency.

A SCHEME OF MAGNIFICENT PROPORTIONS.
       Dr. H C Allen, of this place, has suggested to our Congressman N W Peel a plan for cutting a canal from Cape Jerido to the Gulf on the west of the Missippi river, thereby cutting off the streams running into the Mississippi from the west and completely draining the swamp lands of that section. ...

The necessity for a railroad through this section of country is apparent to all. The resources of this county can never be fully developed until we get better shipping facilities. We are now absolutely cut off from the outside world. A railroad will materially enhance the value of property, open up our mines, afford easy transportation for our products and be the means of bring a healthy immigration here to settle upon the vacant lands. Let us encourage the building of railroads through this county. Out of three prospective roads we certainly ought to get at least one.
