Speaking of hotneiaas wanderera ,hu following from the Parkersburg •Hate Joarnal ia given to show that .here are more of that elaaa of peo ple here in Arkansas than in any yart of Nsbraaka. Bert Warner, an old Parkers burg boy who ia Ihrivtug in ths {real west, writes from Lincolu, Neb,, that the hard times are driv ing many easterners who sought wealth and fame in the western iouutry hack to ihsir homes iu the sastsrn states, lie says that prairie ichooiiere headed eastward are paaa lug through Liucoln daily, I'pon the while covers of theses big eou te> ansae are numerous I tinny say lugs, of which the following was it|Htn a big eehooucr Itearing the lew household eltsctaami ths family of a man deserting lbs west Isa fair ■ample: * Colorado irrigation, Nebraska starvation, pemucrntie administration, doing home to wite'a islatmua t lu ths uthsi »tde ol the prairie ■chooser was "In gt*| s« trusted, In Custer Count) we hustsd It is true that this nalionai talassi t) stttph Arkansas and Virginia hi lheir titlehtlpetl to bring on has ••lined bard lime*.

I waf told by a reliable man in Hlloam who had traveled extensively through Arkansas and lxdian Territory that all thia country ia alive with home less people who wander about in coveted wugons, camping along the woody streams and having no per manent boms. The truth ia that it is almost impossible for s poor man to get a start here, and this condi tion having been so for years the poor of this county have remained poor, JO. T. L.
