VISA November 1, 1885,
DEAR SIR: Allow me to express to you my sincere
thanks for your discovery of medicine which, to say
the least Of it, has effected that all other med
cines that have taken have entirely failed to do
Hoofands German Bitters have cured me of the most
stubborn and aggravated of the Piles that per-
haps ever fell to the lot Of man. My case is not a
stranger in this community, as am well known in
this and the surrounding counties and can truly say
that my recovery has astounded all my friends and
relations, as had tried everything recommended,
and nothing did me any good, until was prevailed
upon to try the Biters. You at liberty to make
any of this communication for the Der eft of the
afflicted, you may think proper.
Truly, yours WIN. J. ATWOOD.
DR.. G. NJ JACKSON.

The ARRAY at Bayou Sara.

A late number of the Memphis Eagle
and Enquirer contains an editorial notice
of the recent lamentable tragedy at Bayou
Sara, La, which reflects, We think, with i'll
judged and unjust severity upon L. D..
Marks. Esq, one Of the parties to the sad
occurrence. We knew Mr. Marks in times
that tried mems souls, and are sure that a
gentleman of more generous and chivalrous
impulses than Mr.. Marks was always char
acterized by, is very seldom met with, and
however much the distressing termination
of the affair is to be deplored, to use the
language of the editor of the Caddo Gazette.
who knows Mr.. Marks intimately, and who
is always guarded in the expression of his
opinions, we cannot believe "that l.. d.
Marks would wantonly take the life of a
PROSTATE and helpless foe.'

Of the above road. Col Hill has Just re-
turned from Sewer county He speaks in
the highest terms of the public spirit and
hospitality of the citizens of our neighbor-

the subscribers to the stock of the above
road in Sewer, were willing and anxious to
meet all calls upon them, for amounts due
on tEeir subscri ptions, and that those who
were unable to pay either by draft or in
cash, by reason of having failed to get their
cotton off. signi6ed their determination to
meet all calls promptly so soon as enabled
to do So Col. Hill did not Gnd one repu-

speedy completion of the work The i'm
preston having got abroad that the site cbo-
sen BY the company for the crossing of the

and all are in favor of the road and anxious for

Col. Fowler.

We are privately advised that our citizen.
will have the pleasure of having Colons,
FOWLER address them on the questions Of
the day, at this place on Friday, the 18th
of July. Col. Fowler's well known abil;,u
as an orator-the important measures which
he is called upon to discuss and examine
the nature of the principles Of which be !,
the advocate should, in our humble opipion
secure to him large audience We hone
that the friends of our cause will rallv in
full numbers and with the proper spirit
and manifest on that occasion such an in.
terest In the success of our ticket as IL.
excellence demands at our hands. Col
Fowler has been an honored citizen of A.
kansas for many years. His ability is m.
questioned-his patriotism, his devotion 70
the rights of the South, his love for the
Union which with all patriotic men should
be the paramount consideration, overriding
all local prejudices and party animosities
are above suspicion and his character be.
yond reproach. He is known as the con.
sistent, unfinching advocate of the real
permanent, solid interests of our State
His political fortunes, We hazard nothing in
saying. are indissolubly linked with his
attachment to the great measures of reform
at which the American party aim, and the
State of Arkansas-the whole Soutb-tbs
Union need such men as COL Fowler at tbo
National Capital to aid in the great and
important conflicts of opinion and policy
which will mark the incoming of a new
Administration. There are questions. which
considered IN connection with the choiee
of Congressman from this district
it much behooves the people to examine
carefully, and which they should investigate
intelligently. The time has arrived when
men who wish their rights as Southerners
preserved and defended, and who have no.
given up all hopes of the preservation of the
Union, should weigh well in the scale Of
reason the respective merits of those be,
tween whom they are called upon to decide
as worthy of political preferment. We
have no fears for the result if the electors
of South Arkansas will examine Colonel
Fowler's qualifications, the measures which
he advocates. and the principles which be
represents.
The Memphis Bulletin Of the Sd inst.
pays the following graceful compliment: to
Col. Fowler:
"CoL. FowLER.-Tbe American party
have nominated this gentleman for Congress
IN the Second Congressional District of Ar
kansas. A better selection could not be
made, nor better Congressman elected.
He is an excellent gentleman, and will con-
duct the canvass on high and elevated prln-
ciples, unless he prove false to all ante
ccdents''

The New York Herald has a pleasant
article on the 4" co urtesies of life" in
which it commends cheerfulness, and
says =
''The most inconsiderable men are the
men, usually, of the most eminent gravl-
ty. We have seen conceited blockhead
who outshone an owl in his looks of WIS
dom. We have seen fourth rate lawyer
whose nearest approach to mirth was a
grim smile, while Choate is the soul OF hi
larity. We have seen a solemn pharlsee
who was constantly surrounded by trl-
gid atmosphere, and whose most cheerful
conversation sounded like voice from
the tomhs, while some eminent dlvInes
carry with them an atmosphere like spring.
and their conversation is simple, unre=
strained and joyous"

The Hampstead Democrat on Squatter
Sovereignty.

The Democrat fails utterly to meet, and
is evidently taken quite aback by the Rich
mond Enquirer's views of Squatter Sow
ereignty. We hope that the references
which we make in this weeks issue to the
opinions in which this doctrine is held by
the friends of the South, will have the effect
of cooling the editors of the Democrat down
little. As our columns are already pretty
well filed up, We have only room. in reply
to their interrogatories on the subject, to
exclaim, God forbid that we should ever be
