Sol' dier'a Tribune, of Lyons. It would seem from this that the voters of the county will have no say in the matter. If an enabling act is got through the legislature by a Lyons man to allow the bonds for a new court house at Lyons, then Lyons will not have anything to pay sure enough. This clipping from a Lyons paper should be carefully read by all tax payers. Few papers would make a statement of this kind unless it had positive assurance that its candidate is pledged in favor of the aforesaid enabling act.

The few weeks of dry weather that we have had has turned a good deal of attention to the subject of irrigation. If some method or irrigating our land tunc would be both easy and cheap was put into practice the fortunes of our farmers wovld be made. The ground in this part of the Arkansas valley is very rich aud productive, and when there are rains at seasonable times our crops are very heavy. The canal scheme can not be worked on account 01 the scarcity 01 water in the river when it 18 most need ed. The only feasible plans seem to be to use windmills, or to try something on the water works plan used at Sterling.

If a man had the mains laid through his farm with taps at short intervals lie could be absolutely certain of having a good crop 110 matter how much dry weather there was. 1110 main objection to this plan is its great cost. A very good way for a farmer to have a small piece of land irrigated is to put up a big windmill with a largo tank close by. A careful management of wind and water will allow lain to water a large garden to say the least. Sorghum is a crop that is growing in favor with the farmers of the western part of the state.

It will stand a good deal of dry weather without suffering, winch is a valuable trait, ana can uc put to several uses. It makes good feed, nnd will also make good molasses, and it is only a question of time until it will make good and profitable sugar. When sugar is made from sorghum in a way that will leave a profit for both the manufacturer and the farmer, then will the price of land iu the Arkansas valley immediately rise. There is no land in the state better adapted to raising cane than that in this vicinity. It is to be hoped that science and capital will get the manufacture of sorghum sugar to a point where it will bo profitable to nil concerned.

The- experiments at Fort Scott last year were very encouraging to all Interested in the futuro of the sugar mae'e from sorghum, and this year the Investigations will bo watched with an increasing interest. Tho manufacture of sorghum molasses is no longer an experiment. Il has been proved beyond a doubt that the business is a money making one, aud tho two great syrup mills at Sterling are conclusive evidence that the Industry is progressing. W. C.

If Hie election i called the nutter will be settled by the vote of the people, if It Is not called the matter will suind about the same a ever. Those fuels remain. Tho county j.tll a disgrace to the county, and the court lioue lias been condemned as it ti safe I reliable men. These are facts, and the sooner the Lyons people commence to ileal with iels the better lor every one concerned, llic iiM-iesnand silly method or slandering the Merliiig subscription list signers.

The fact that Lyons the center of the county Is not the only Ihing Hint should bo l.iken Into consideration.

The good people of Hire county would like to have a Urge manufacturing city Inside or the county. Tin position i.yonscan never fill, because she tin not the water to even tuilixe the Kilt In round.
