Cdlifornians.- Thomas Hughes, Eli
Ward, and Joseph Woodward, of independence
county, arrived here on last Tuesday, direct from
Batesville, in fine health and all right. After
making some purchases as an outfit, they pro-
ceeded on their journey, expecting to overtake the
BatesvIe Company at Camp Holmes. They took
the route on the north side of the river, and will
cross at Webbers Falls. As they have only pack
mules along. they expect to travel about twenty.
five miles day, and they will fall in with their
friends about Camp Holmes.
More En,igrants.-Some thirty California en-
igrants arrived on the Cotton Plant, last Thurs
day; the {" Waterford Association from Rens-
selaer and Saratoga counties, N. Y; the IS Brook
lyn Mining Company" and party from Ohio.
We learn that they intend to send up their
heavy articles to For, Gibson, but they will get
out here with their wagons, and after procuring
stock, proceed up the north side of the river to
that Post. whence they will proceed direct to
Camp Holmes, saving some so miles, and gong
over the best road.
The route from Van Buren on the north side
of the river Webber's Falls, or to Fort Gibson,
is found to be much the best. The emigrants that
left here, and travelled this route, have all arrived
at Camp Holmes, in shorter time than those who
went on the south side of the river.
VI Some boys were hauled up, on last We'd
nesday, before Justice Pryor, for shooting within
the limits of the corporation, found guilty, and
fined.
Shooting about town is becoming too common
our police should stop it, by enforcing the law at
once. Sunday is great day among the negro
sportsmen-the town is full of those gentry on
the Sabbath. The law prohibits their carrying a
gun. pistol, or knife, and such weapons should be
taken from them by all who may meet them thus
equipped.

Dahias are like most beautiful women, without

by their exterior splendor, but are mserably de-.
stitute of those properties which distinguish and
render agreeable, less imposing flowers. Had nu-

THE CALIFORNIA EMIGRATION.

Mr.. l.. w. BALDWIN, from Chapman's Stand,
on the North Fork Of Canadian has ust arrived,
and informs us that the parties of California emf
grants which left this place the 18th ult., had
all passed the North Fork the 3Oth the Wash
ington City and Empire Companies had passed
some days previous to that date. They were all
in fine spirits, and spoke highly of the road on
thr north side of the river to Webber's Falls and
to the Fork, as far as they had travelled. Mr.. B.
informs that the Little Rock Company was
two or three days ahead of the Van Buren,
Company, and would reach Camp Holmes about
that much ahead. There they iatended 10 hold
up and let their stock Craze until the Van Buren
Company united with them.

is certainly the best. and believes that the expert.

Interesting Foreign News.-As our sheet was
going to press we received paper containing the
last news from Europe; among which is that of
the Sandman army being utterly defeated-the
flight Of Charles Albert /; his abdcation; and his
arrival in Paris.
Radetzky. the Austrian comma nder, is now
master of Northern Italy; and, for the present,
all prospect of the liberties of g united lay'' being
obtained, is crushed.
The discontinue of Charles Albert is an event
much to be regretted. He took the bodest stand
for Italian liberty, and struck the first and most
formidable blows against Austrian dominion. The
liberal spirit, energy, and national feeling of this
Prince, had placed him high in the affections of
the Italians. who regarded him the champion
of their redemption from the Austrian yoke.

Lawrence county, of whom mention was made in

ELECTION OF INTERNAL IMPROVE

County, on last Monday, which resulted as fol-.

? We have received no official returns from Forl
Smith, but understand that there were not more
than 70 votes cast at that precinct. The five first
named gentlemen, then, are the Commissioners.
No election was held in any precinct except
in Van Buren and Fort Smith and we have
no doubt there will be much dissatisfaction
expressed among the citizens of the country
And they have good grounds for complaint: that
our Sheriff should suffer election to go off with
out giving notice to the people. The law makes
it the duty of the Sheriff, at least twenty days be-
fore each general election, and ten days before
each special election, to give public notice, by
proclamation throughout the county, of such an
election. This duty was not performed by our
Sheriff, and the consequence was that the polls
were not opened, and tho people did not have an
opportunity to vote in an important election. 1t
Is OF the utmost importance that the Commission.
ers should be elected from the different sections of
the county, and the citizens from all parts of the
county should have voice in their selection.
The polls we're not opened in this city unit, af.
ter noon, on Monday, when, after news having
reached here that an election was going on at Fort
Smith, polls were opened, and some $50 votes
were cast, where the usual poll is 200. and
sometimes over $50. 1t was seen by our citizens
that tine different parts Of the county would no,
have fair shake, but they were determined to
give as fair distribution as could be given under
the circumstances, not knowing who were candi.
dates, or who would serve.

a healthy region. 1t is filling up with substantial

county where the population is so uniformly of so
substantial character. In 1916 it contained a
population Of 1896 souls; of that number 1927
were free white males, emitting them. under the
appor!ionment Of that year, to two representa-

bushels of corn, 1903 of wheat, and 1916 of
oats. Madison is extensive stock raising coun-

Several substantial mills are in operation and
others in course of erection and the -four manu-.
faciured there will compare with that of any
country.
This county has been improving materially
since 1916, and is much more developed now than
it was then, yet there is still an abundance of good
land unoccupied and farmers emigratng to this
