Arkansas Correspondence En
terprise.
Dks Akc, Ark., Dec. 2, 1870.
Messrs. Editor??We bade you
a temporary adieu in our last communication,
at the steamboat landing
of this place, and we had hop*
ed ere this to have given your
readers some further account of
this western country ; but you
know full well the force of the old
and time lmnored maxim, w business
before pleasure," to require
from us any more than a mere
mention of the maxim itself.
13ut to proceed. This is like most
of the Western towns. In outside
appearance : a rough exterior, but,
withal, one of the plensantcst little
places that we ever had the fortune
to be in. In size, we would com
pare it to Edgefield ; the buildings
are very much scattered, and in
themselves present no pretentions
to architectural display. There is
only one brick building in the
place, and that, Messrs. Editors, is
in part occupied by a very intelligent
and enterprising journal, the
Dcs Arc Citizen. But from this
description, you are not to imagine
that the town is without enterprise,
that it is either dead or dying
; on tho contrary, it is iust recovering
from the great anil heavy
blows inflicted upon it by the late
civil war, when it was occupied by
the vandal hordes of the enemy,
and almost all ot its then few
buildings (for at that time it was
but in its infancy) were torn down
and removed to De Vall's Bluff,
the town next below this, which is
built almost entirely of the buildings
thus removed from Des Arc,
and is, therefore, nothing more nor
lees than an offshoot of Des Arc.

buildings. Tie true, one likes w ell
to see in any place some attempt
at architectural adornment, and it
is pleasing to see a town well laid
ofl? with paved streets, handsome
store rooms, and palatial private
residences, with grounds beautified
and adorned by flowers and shrub
bery ; we say this is all very pleasant
to the cultivated taste and eye,
and may do in an old State, but in
a new country like this, the people
have no time for this sort of thing,
however much inclination there
may be: they are all too deeply
immersed in business to attend to
it; and 1 venture to assert, Messrs.
Editors, that there is more busi
?
noes uone in ttie town of Des Arc,
than any city or town in our old
State, outside of Charleston. Why,
airs,- last year, from this point, between
ten and eleren thousand
bales of cotton were sold and shipped,
and this year the amount sold
will be largely in exoess of last
year, because there has been more
of the staple produced. There is
an area of country of sixty square
miles, to back the town, rich and
fertile, from which it draws its
trade. It is one of the very best
shipping points on the river, for
large boats can easily approach it
at ail seasons of the year, and
above this the river is at times too
U>w for navigation, except by very
small boats. The Texas Valley
Ruilroad will cross the river at
Dos Arc, so that everything tends
to the future growth and prosper!
a.. *L ?
tv ui ino piace. I He peace, quiet
and morality Were is remarkable
You are awar^ Messrs. Editors,
that the Western towns, and par*
ticularly the towns ot this State,
have borne a not very enviable
reputation for either of the above
mentioned qualities. In our State,
we have always connected the
name of Arkansas with the bowio
knife, and in the estimation of
some )>ersons they are inseparable;
but it is a gross error, and, indeed,
we might say a calumniation, fbr
in the whole State of South Carolina,
and ? we blush to say it, you
cannot find a town, that will compare
favorably with the town of
A rn in ???? * - - 1 '

or morality. But these are not
the only advantages that this town
has. Hero the Methodists, Baptists
and Presbyterians, each have
a house of worship, and last but
not least, here is located not only
one ot the finest, best managed,
and best disciplined high schools
in this State, but one of the best in
any State, with a curriculum that
would do honor to any institution.
It is under the management and
control of Messrs. Greenup and
Webb. Mr. Greenup is an accomplished
son of the great State
of Kentucky, and Mr. D. C. Webb
is a native son of our own mother
South Carolina, a graduate of the
Charleston College, a gentleman of
refinement and high scholarly attainments,
and one well calculated
to reflect honor not only upon his
Alma Mater, but also upon the
State which gave him birth. These
gentlemen, with a highly competent
corps of assistants, conduct
ti?e school upon the Prusian system,
which is one of the most thorough
and complete that we have
ever seen. The whole machinery,
of the school is like clock work,
and'the great liberality with which
the school is supported by the people,
and the great interest and zeal
manifested by them in everything
that pertains to the school, speak
well tor them. This, then, Messrs.
Editors, is one of the greatest advantages
that any place can boast
of, for where there are good
schools, one may rest assured that
everything else is proportionately
good.
In conclusion, lot us remark
that we derived unbounded pleasure
from the reception and perusal
of the Enterprise ; it bore to us
the same relation as a letter from
home, and we hope In the future
regularly to greet its coming.
Alt re anon? CIVI6.
Will He Succeed.
The following article has so
much truth and sound practical:
sense in it, we give it a prominent
place in our editorial pages, and
commend it to the careful persnal
ot every parent.?Ed. Farmer and
Artisan.
In nine cases out of ten, no
man's life will be a success unless
he bears burdens in his childhood.
If the fondness or vanity of fatiier
or mother has kept him from hard
work; it another alwavs helped
him out at the end of his row ; if,
instead of taking bis turn at pitching
off, he moved away all of the
time?in short, it what was light
always fell to him, and what was
heavy about the work, to some one
else; if he haa been permitted to
shirk till shirking has become a
habit? unless a miracle is wrought,
his life will be a failure, and the
blame will not be half so much his
as that of poor, weak, foolish parents.
On the other hand, if a boy has
been brought up to do his part;
never allowed to shirk any legitimate
responsibility, or permitted
to dodge, work, whether or not it
made his back ache or soiled hie
hand, until bearing heavy burdens
became a matter of pride, the
heavy end of the wooo his from
choice?parents, as they bid him
good bye, may dismiss their fears.
His lite will not be a business failure.
The elements of success are
his, and at some time and in some
way the world will recognize his
business capacity.
Tlake another point. Money is
the object of the world's pursuits.
It is en object. It gives bread and
clothing, end homes end comfort.
The world has not judged wholly
unwisely when it has made the position
a man occupies to hinge
more or lees on his ability to earn
money, and somewhat upon the
amount of his possessions. If he
is miserably poor, it either argues
some defect in his business ability,
#
some recklessness io bis expenditures,
or s lack of fitness to oope
with men in the great battle tor
*ld.
When a conntry-brea boy le&ves
home, it is generally to enter upon
some business, the end of which
is to acquire property, and he will
succeed just in proportion as he
has been made to earn and save in
childhood.
If the money be has had come
ot planting a little patch in the
Spring, and selling its produce after
months of watching and toil in
the Fall, or from killing woodchucks
at six cents a bead: or from
trapping musk rata, ana selling
their skins for a shilling r setting
? t-? ?ft ?? ?
ounr?8 in me ran lor game,'and
walking miles to see them in the
morning before old folks were np ;
husking corn for a neighbor, moon
light evenings, at two cents a bushel
; working out an occasional day
that hard work at home has made
possible?he is good to make bis
pile in the world.
On the contrary, if the boy never
earned a dollar: if parents and
friends always kept him in spending
money?pennies to buy candies
and fish-hooks, and to satisfy his
imagined wants?and he has grown
to manhood in the expectancy that
the world will generally treat him
with a similar consideration, he
will always be a make shift; and
the fault is not so much his as those
about him, who never made the
boy depend on himself?did not
make him wait six months to get
money to replace a lost jack-knife.
Everybody has to rough it at
one time or another. If roughing
comes in boyhood, it does good ; if
later, when habits are formed, it
is equally tough, but not being
educational, is entirely useless.
And the question whether a young
man will succeed in making money
or not, depends not upon wherq he
goes or what he do?6, but npon his
willingness to do 44 his part," and
upon Lis having earned money,
and so gained a knowledge of its
worth. Not a little <>f this valuable
experience and knowledge the
country boy gets on the old farm,

What is Bast in Wheat 1
It is a small, microscopic plant
or fungus, the seeds of which are
distributed through the sap pores.
These seeds produce y?>un? plants
under the epidermis or skin of the
wheat?which they swell and burst
in longitudinal 6lits all over the
plant. These little plants may be
distinctly seen by means of a pow
erful microscope, in all stages of
their development?from the numerous
little ronnd regular heads,
seen beneath the transparent and
unbroken epidermis, to the contused
moss after they have broken
through and scattered their fine
powder over the whole surface.?
In favorable weather, ami in good
wheat fields, rust makes but little |
progress, and does little or no
harm; but when the weather sud-|
dcnly becomes hot and moist, ite
attacks are often fatal to the crop.
The growth of the grain is at once
arrested, and if the crop is struck
before the grain has formed, it
will not be worth cutting. If partly
tormod, it will bo more or less
injured. Wheat growing on low,
wet, musky soil is generally more
liable to rust than on hard upland,
but cases not unfrcquently occur
when it appears in belts or streaks,
in the directions of prevailing
winds, blighting alike every field
of wheat, whether high or low, in
its track. The remedy for rust is
sowing on dry or well drained soil,
which is rich enough to push the
crop on and cause Jt to rij>en early,
l>eyond the reach of its attacks.?
Earl}' ripening varieties are best
on this account.
