The winter has passed oil* verv pleasantly. There were several entertainments given for the benefit of some young ladies who were visiting in the community. All who attended seemed to enjoy themselves very much. There have been several new buildings erected during the winter. Mr. T W lJufl'has moved into his handsome residence. He has al*o built three nice tennant houses on his place. ' ('apt. J. K. Dcllcncy and Mr. A rther Hays haver each erected a large barn, and several nice cottages for their hands to occupy. There arc a great many other improvements in this line, and the log hut. will soon be a thing of the past in this community. Comfortable houses will almost always insure good labor. The farmers arc very busy (or rather would like to be) preparing for the coining crop. They have been greatly thrown back by the wet weather, (and still it rains.) There lias been a pretty fair oat crop sown, and more corn will be planted than last year. Our farmers are beginning to farm on the intensive system and will use a great deal more fertilizers thau last year. But few of our farmers have sold any cotton seed this setson, consequently they will use tliein as a fertilizer. There will be about live hundred tons of guano delivered at lJockion.

Children Cry for Pitcher's Castcria. a letter r Bv a Former Citizen of Fairfield?His Surroundings, etc. ! Messrs. Editors: I am glad to .see from the many recent publications in ! Tin-: Xi:m> and IIekald on that subi jeel that the people of old Fairfield are ; alive to the importance of more rail-; | roads. The building of the two roads ! j now in contemplation through the' j county, would mean more money in ' j circulation. nil increase iin ilie ! ! value of all kinds of property, that j j would be a >urprise beyond the most j i sanguine expectations of almost every j I one. The fact that railroad* will put j | new life into people, build up and in- j | crease the prosperity of a country, has J j and is being thoughly demonstrated | in this part of Arkansas. The lirst and only railroad that has yet penetrated this county was completed last July. Now to give you some idea of , the wonderful change tiiis road has brought about, 1 will lirst give a brief I | description of that part of our county I I through which the road runs. i From the "Overflow Hills'* west of Bayou Bartholomew, which in prehistoric times was doubtless the western banks of the great ever changing Mississippi River, to the Chico County line, a section ten miles wide, and ex-' tending north and south, the entire I length of the county, is an alluvial j district. The soil is of a black >andy i loam exceedingly feitile. The surface while apparently level is sufficiently j inundating to allow of successful: | drainage. The ea??e with which this j | soil is cultivated, and its adoption to j I the rapid growth and production of i j the greatest variety of fruits, vegetables j and field crops, together with the; geniality of the climate makes it one I of the most magnificent farming dis tricts to he found in the world. The ; timber in this section h unexcelled i either in quantify or quality. Along the bayou there are extensive cypress j 1....O'.,..,!;,,.,- ltiilliiKK nf of l I i/i < 11 tip in ? ( the finest kind of building material,j j ami away from those brakes, when the i | sip-face is more elevated, I here are } great fore>t of white oak. gam. hick-' [on. walnut and many oilier varieties I of valuable timber now in great de-; maud in the manufacturing centers of ! the North and East. And yet with all | I the natural resources and attractions! I of this highly favored ?eciion, there | had been scarcely a visible sign of pro- j gress or development for many years j I past. There was no demand for the : timber because there was no way of j getting the lumber 1o market. For the same reason the farmer had but little encouragement to increase his j business, his only chance for shipping j his cotton and other produce, and of obtaining supplies, was by means of boats on Bayou Bartholomew which is only navigable about four or five months in the year, and as a natural consequence farming was carried o>i in a slip shod way, and a spirit of careless indifference seemed to prevail everywhere. Less than a year ago the const rue1 ' " * " 4 1 r\? rri*o/linn* 1 lion COUipilMY 111 llIUll HUIIV yj. 2lau'"o j and laying' the track, of the now great; Huston, Centra] Arkansas, and North- j ern Railway reached this place, which j was then only a field of cotton stalks, j upon which s:ill hung' a scattering; remnant of the previous years crop, j llight in the midst of this field the ! constructing party commenced the work of building a large and attractive passenger and freight depot, and at once the owner of the farm had ten acres surveyed out in lots 40 by loO feet which sold rapidly at $100 per lot. The writer being the first to get. a deed made to ;i lot and commenced building. Since then so magical has been the growth of the town, that strangers are astonished to learn that it is ret but little more than half a year old. There arc now eight good business houses, all crowded with goods and doing a j lively business, representing' the various branches of merchandise from the Chinese bakery and confectionery to the fancy dry doods and no i'.n store. A large livery and feed stable is doing an enviable business in that line. But the most attractive feature of the town, and the lirat that claims ;ne attention of the visitor is a large u-1 beautifully painted two and a half story hotel lately completed a.id Inrnis-tied in the most elegant and exquisit style by Capt. \V. J. Caminack itie lucky owner of the town c-iie. Several handsome residences already j gn.oi the town, and still the work of! building goes on. The Mithtdists' arc taking subscriptions for the purpose of building a church this fiimmtr, j a: d the African Baptist who are very j strong here having a membership ofj owr hundred in one church, are geiting-ready to build a new church 1 that i? to cost about $3000. The whites and the negroes have ea< h a school in operation, and besides I these the infant town boast? ot a lite- j rary society, a Masjnic Lodge, with a ! 1'nii- inrmlwrfhin. an<1 in ihc Henri future will have a K. of P.

' o-i'Ufxly IS anaMBMHi naonoaa SCROFULA It is that impurity ir. the blood, which, accumulating ic the glands of the neck, pro duces unsightly lumps or swellings; which causes painful running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or deafness; which is the origin of pimples, cancerous growths, or the many other manifestations usually ascribed to "humors;" which, fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption and death. Being the most ancient, it is the most general of all diseases or affections, for very few persons are entirely free from it. "TIT CURED j By taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, vrhich, by the remarkable cures it has accomplished, often when other medicines have faded, has proven itself to be a potent and peculiar medicine lor this disease. Some of these cures are really wonderful. If you Suler from scrofula, be sure to try Hood's Sarsaparilla. "My daughter Mary was afflicted with scrofulous sore neck from the time she was 22 months old till she became six years of age. Lumps formed in her neck, and one of them after growing to the size of a pigeon's egg, became a running sore for over three years. "We gave her Hood's Sarsaparilla, when the lump and all indications of scrofula entirely disappeared, and now she seems to be a healthy child." J. S. Carlile, Nauright, N. J.
