Wonder if our town guardi ans could not do something to sc cure afew more dogs. It would not take many more to devour the town in the most approved style. Then they will keep the natives on the alert, you know, to keep out of the way of mad dogs.
 Notwithstanding the rain of tine proceeding day and night, last Saturday was a pleasant day, and there was a good turn out to the Sunday school picnic. There was a goodly attendance from Lewlsburg and Atkins and a few from Little Rock. Also a few from Dover. Everything passed off pleasantly and to the satisfac- tion of all. The grounds were high, well drained and dry.
 Those who deal in tobacco should bear in mind that their old licenses expired on the 30th of April. It is unlawful to sell with out having a new license display ed. Henry NJ. Cooper, U. $. Rev. collector, Little Rock, Ark, is the proper person to apply to for new license.
 MT. Cad. Hanks, representing the staunch house of Brooks, Nicely -& Co.,, Memphis, was in town Monday, and showed his appre- citation of the trade of this portion of Arkansas, by inserting his ad- vertisement in the DEMOCRAT. We can, from dealings with the house, recommend them for promptness, accuracy, and fair dealing. Any. orders given Mir. Hanks will come up all satisfac- tory.

Jamison of the Van-Guard was also here, but we did not enjoy the honor of meeting him.
 TIE WHEAT CRop.-The pros pect thus far is flattering for an extra crop of wheat in Pope Co. The crop is as yet wholly unin- jured and looks fine. If not in jured by the rust we will harvest an abundance to bread the coun- ty the coming year. Let our far mers take good care of their wheat, and put it away well, for the crop in many other states is short and breadstuffs will be high.
