THIS IS TRUE
Young man, did you ever put
your arms around your dear old
mother, tell her that you love her
and are grateful for the tears she
has shed and the prayers she has
offered for youTShe may think you
love her without your assuring
her that you do, but it cost you
but little effort to tell her and your
words may bring more joy and
sunshine to her heart than you
ever dreamed of. Some young
men will pay $2.00 for a rig and
ride three hours with a 75 cent
girl and tell her all the nice things
he can think of that are true, and
more that are not true, and don’t
spend five cents or five minutes in
a year to show their old mother
that they care anything for her.

Wail Of A Pessimistic
Editor
Some Dark Lantern Views of the
Farmer Brought to Light by a
Pine Bluff Editor
The editor of the Pine Bluff
Graphic doubtless grows pessimis
tic at times and when in one of
these moods he penned the follow
ing.
“The average Arkansas citizen
imagines that he lives at home but
he doesn’t. He gets up in the
| morning and puts on a sock made
in New York, shoes made in Bos
ton, pants made in Ohio, then
slips a pair of Conneticut suspen
ders over his shoulders. He dips
some water from a Missouri bucket
with a Chicago dipper and puts it
in an Illinois wash-pan and washes
his Arkansas face with a cake of
St. Louis soap. He dries his face
I
with a Rhode Island towel and
roaches his hair with a Vermont
comb. He drinks Cuban coffee from
an Indiana cup and saucer, sweet
ened with sugar from Louisiana
and stirred by a New York spoon.
His knife, fork, and plate were
made in the noi'th, and his table
cloth ditto. He eats a piece of Chi
cago ham fried in Kansas lard, sops
his St. Louis biscuit, seasoned
with Boston soda and Michigan
salt, into Louisiana molasses. He
wipes his mouth on a Vermont
napkin and seats his family ifl
Michigan chairs around a table
from the same state. His meal was
cooked on a St.Louis stove witty
wood cut with a Pittsburg ax, an<$
hauled in an Indiana wagon. The
citizen then puts a Boston bridle and
harness on a Missouri mule, gets
out his plow and works in a field
encumbered, in all probability,
with a New York mortgage. He
returns at night, and satisfies his
appetite with another imported
meal, fills his Indiana lamp with
Pennsylvania oil, and lights it
with a New York match. He then
fills his Illinois pipe with North
Carolina tobacco and settles down
in a northern chair for a comfort
able smoke. When bedtime comes
he takes down his family Bible,
which was printed in Massachu
setts, reads a chapter, says a pray
er composed in Jerusalem, then re
tires to bed slips under his import
ed covers and is kept awake for
two long hours by the howls of his
Arkansas dogs, which are the only
home products he has on his farm."
i . -
This may be a true pen picture
of conditions around Pine Bluff,
but in this neck o’ the woods
things are different. Of course
there are a great many of the nec
essaries of life that must be
brought from other states, but in
a great many instances the raw
materials from which these articles
are manufactured are Arkansas
products.
In this part of the country the
better class of farmers sop their
corn bread (which, by the way,
when well made, is the best that
ever tickled the palate of man,) in
his Arkansas ham gravey, eats it
with his Arkansas eggs, potatoes
and other home grown vegetables,
aud tapers off with Arkansas pre
serves made of Arkansas fruit by
an Arkansas lady—a feast fit for a
king—then gets up and plants a
kiss on the ruby lips of his Ark
ansas wife, the ecstacies of which
sends the blood surging through
his veins like water down an Ark
ansas hillside gulley, and he goes
forth to work happy and contented.
In its pessimistic wail the
Graphic ignores the fact that the
majority of the manufactured
articles it mentions as being pro
ducts of other states, were perhaps
| made from raw materials produced
in Arkansas for there is not a state
in the Union that can excell Ark
ansas in the quality and variety of
it’s raw materials. That these

raw materials are not manufactur
ed into the various articles of com
merce within the state, instead of
being shipped out for this purpose,
is not the fault of the farmer or
laborer, but more often the fault
of short sighted, pessimistic and
indolent scriblers like the editor
of the Graphic, who armed with a
dark lantern and a chronic case of
the gout delight in exploring the
dark side of life and then publish
to the world their distorted impres
sions about the unhappy conditions
in Arkansas and thus scare off the
man with mouey who would per
haps otherwise invest his capital in
the; ejection of plants for the man
ufacture of our raw products into
the finished articles of commerce.
O&ODurse there are exceptions,
but the majority of Arkansas
farmers are as prosperous, happy,
a&d contented as those of any state
in the Union. But they have many
obstacles to overcome, not the
least of which is to outlive the false
impression which the outside world
may gather of their condition from
reading the driveling rot thrown
off the cankerous brain of such stu
pid creatures as the editor of the
Pine Bluff Graphic. But the Ark
ansas farmer is made of the stuff
that does not hesitate at obstacles,
and having become accustomed to
the putrid odor of the false sneers
cast at him by men who thus dis
grace the newspaper profession, he
ignores such punitive slurs and
proceeds with his business of pro
ducing the bread and butter upon
which his traducers must depend
for subsistence. Tne Arkansas
farmers are all right and the Jour
nal is glad to call them its friends.
The News readily agrees with
Bro. Craig of the Newark Journal
and if we were at a public auctioL
in which this category of meudacitx
was being cried off und the oflfei
should range 30 cts. we would sa}
to ourselves. Another suckei
caught. This pessimistic scribbler
has a veritable eye for knocking
and ought to be ostricated fron
society. He is a menace to the wel
fare and advancement of the state
How much better would it be il
this thing, posing as an editor,
would give space to such articles
as those inclined towards boosting
our grand old state, instead ol
knocking as he has done.
