UNITY 4!

The course Of the Fort Smith Herdld,
since the Sth Senatorial District Conven-
ton, having been one of pure disorgan-
ization, we deem it advisable to warn all
true Conservative men, whether Republi
cans or Democrats, not to throw away
votes at the instance of the reckless edi-
tors of that paper. We cannot hope to
succeed Br DIVIDED ACTION. The confu-
sion in our councils, for which the Heratd
is ALONE responsible, will be productive
of no evil, if the voters come up larry
and vote the straight Convention Ticket
Let none be deceived by the pretended
strength Of Mr. Fishback. His vote in
this County will be infnitesimal, and
not much better in Franklin and, outside
of Fort Smith, in Sebastian. This is no
time for disorganization and Mr. +. can
not expect much strength from his course
1t will take all the prudence of which we
are masters TO overcome the disastrous
effect of the UerddS course IN General
EpwARp race. Edwards can be elected,
if his cake has not been made dough ny
the proprictors of the two-story BRICK
LET All COME Up TO THE BALLor-BoX De
rERMINEp TO VOTE THE STRAIGHT
TICKET AND NOT BE HUMBUGGED BY IN
TERrsTGD JouRNAss. The grinding OF the
great axe for the people, is of vastly
more importance than the grinding OF
any small axe for newspaper men.

A LIVELY CoRPsE.-W Virginia has
gone Democratic-the first time in the
history of that State, thus cnsuring an
other Democratic Senator to go in with
the gentleman from Oregon, elected a
short time since. Indiana keeps Morton
at home to prevent Democratic Senator
from going to Washington from the
Hoosier State. The Democracy are gain
ing everywhere. Gen. Grant will certain
ly be the Republican candidate for the
Presidency in 1872, and just as surely
will he be defeated by the staunch old
Democratic party which never dies

TAGGING SHEEP.- The time has
arrived for flock masters to "tag"
their hocks of sheep before turning
them cut to grass, and the question
arises what disposition shall, we
make Of these tags. 1t has been the
practice in some sections TO put
them in the feecos again, but it is a
bad practice, both for the manufac-
turer and the producer. In many
parts of the East, men keep their
tags out OF their feeces, wash them
and keep them separate, and the
buyers pay for them a price equal to
that given for the feeces. This |
think is just and fair. If the tags
are before you they show for them
selves, and if they are in the fleece
you do not see them, and it gives q
chance for an arrangement as TO how
clean they are, or how much dirt,
DC, is among them. The time has
come when wool must sell on its
merits, and on the owners reputation
for honesty in handling bis wool If
q man has the reputation of handling
his wool slovenly, let's his flock 20
without tagging while bis neigh
Dor, with the same grade Of wool,
has tho name of handling bis wool in
good shape, it certainly is more
valuable, and why not pay the lat
ter more for it and not go into q
community and give all one price
for their wool. What say you wool
dealers? If thing is worCh dom g
at all it is worth doing WE'LL Cores
pondence Prairie Farmer.

SUDDEN DEATHs.-Our old men
and women wonder why there are
so many more now, than when they
were young. We often hear the in
quiry, "How do you account for SO
many dying suddenly ?"
The answer may be found in the
way the people live. Excessive eat
ing, drinking. exercise, grief, Joy,
fear, anxiety, all have been known
to cause death. Therefore, one way
to avoid death is TO live temperate
ly, eat slowly, never become over
excited, exercise moderately and use
no ardent spirits, chew or smoke no
opium or tobacco, and avoid taking
cold, and sudden changes Of clothing (;
and the number Of sudden deaths
would diminish one-half.
Let people avoid eating what they
ought not, and at times when they
should not eat anything; aud let
them avoid medicine unless to meet
the pressing exigencies of disease !;
and sudden deaths would not be
heard of so frequently.
