CENTRE POINT, ARK, Oct. 5, 1861.

Editor True Democrat:
 1 am pleased to see that you are calling the at tention of the people to the mineral wealth of Ar kansas You say the Bellah mines might be leased from the owners. The heirs of Beah have re- gently sold out to MT. Starr, very business and energetic gentleman. He has experienced miners, and has gone to work. Little river is a much better navigabe stream than Red river, and is only sixteen miles from the mines. This mine is rich in copper ore.
 The barbecue that came off at this place to-day was magnificent affair; every way worthy of the patriotic citizens of Centre Point. The dinner was given to the returned volunteers, particularly to those companies that guarded Capt. Reeds bat tery at the Battle of Oak Hills, consisting of Capt Hutchenson's, Capt. Arnold's and Captain McKeans. The most pleasant feature of the dinner was to see the young ladies acting the waiter upon the volunteers; it must have been a pleasant recomperse to the boys for the fatigue that they underwent.
 Several patriotic speeches were made, and in the evening Capt. Arnold partially reorganized his company which will be completed on Thursday next. Capt. Smith said the Davis Blues, the la mented Col. Neal's company, would also reorgan- ize. Capt Ssears, of Antonio, will be the first to rendezvous. Capt. McKean will organize company next Saturday. There es not doubt but the regiment will be raised
 William K. McKean is a candidate for the legis- lature. He is in favor of the election of Robert w. Johnson to the Confederate States Senate and am covinced that he is the choice of ths county by very decisive majority am not sui fciently posted to say who will be their other choice Some favor Pike, others Mitchell.

To my Fellow-Citizens of Conway Co.

To my Fellow Citizens of Conway co. I had hoped, until recent period, that my duties here would permit me to De present at the called session of our legislature. The absence of one of our field officers, in consequence of indispo- sition will, however, prevent. is, therefore, with reluctance that am compelled to resign into your hands the position which your partiality conferred upon me, viz: a member of the General Assembly for the county of Conway.
 Let me assure you that nothing but devotion to duty, which I consider paramount, could have induced me to this step; and conclude by hoping that in this hour of our countrys peril the vacan cy may be supplied by some gentleman, whe will serve you with more ability and equaI fidelity.
 1 have the honor to be

0, PAIN .4nyachere
and Eggywhere.
This is most perfect preparation, and seldom
fails to dogood. Tt is harmless in its effects but
powerful to relieve Pain. If You use it once you
will not likely be without ii again. You will find il
a constant household friend, giving ease and relief
just when needed. Keep it constantly en- hand
and il win save you many hours of pain and suf-
fering. There is hardly pain it viii not ease.--
There is hardly accident that will occur where
il will not be useful.
Should one Of your family get burned or scald-
ed cover the burned part with cloth Of several
thicknesses wet with the aMaster of Pan,' and
keep the cloth saturated with it, In short time
it will draw all the fire out. 1t win prick
ling sensaiion-this is the fire coming out. Keep
it wet with the "Master of Pain'' until the pain
and prick ling ceases. Let the wet cloth stay on
for six or eight hours. after which apply some
healing ointment sweet oil. In nearly all cases
Of Pain Soreness of the Chest, Throat Side,
Back Spine, Limbs or Joints, il will give relief
Rub it on freely with the hand or with flannel
cloth until the skin becomes heated and burning.
For soreness Of the throat rub il on until it pro.
dnces a little soreness
For Group use it in connection with the Cough
Syrup, by rubbing it the chest.
For Rheumatism and all deep seated pains, if
the pain is not speedily removed by rubbing with
the hand, lay cloth wet with the liquid over the
part affected, and pass warm smoothing iron over
For Pains in the Breast, Side or Back, the same
may be done.
For Tooth-ache, drop it on cotton, and apply it
to the nerve of the tooth, also rub the gums and
checks with it.
For Frosted Feet apply the ssMaster Of Pain''
reely, and dry it in before the fire.
For Head ache rub il on the forehead
Ii is called s'Master of Pan.'' did not give 1t
this name-I don't ike the name When I first
commenced making il ii without name or label
l made it and sold it by the ounce at my Drug
Store. l had no idea then of making business
Of II. Some who bought it called it Master of
Pain, and by this name it became known for many
miles round And finally, when | had label
printed / was compelled to adopt the name, for by
that name it was known After all, the name is
not so very inappropriate. 1t is used to alleviate
or remove pain 1t is put wherever there is
pain. Sometimes it will cause pain, but the resul:
always is freedom from pain.
Reader-try it-take a bottle with you-use II
