The Arkansas Female College.

Rev. Dr. A. R. Winfield, of Lit tie Rock, delivered very inter- esting address at the Cumberland Presbyterian church in this place, last Saturday afternoon and eve ming, in behalf of this college. The Dr. is deeply interested in this work as should be every other Arkansian, who has the interest and prosperity of his state at heart. We hope the Dr. received substantial assistance in the way of subscriptions. We give the following notice of the college from our worthy cotemporary the White County Record, for the benefit of our readers:
 The first annual catalogue of the above institution gives very good account of the school. We are glad to note that the attend ance was large-175, and from what we can gather we infer that this number will be largely in- creased this fall. The President of the school, Rev. l.. NJ. Lewis, is gentleman of the first water, an intellectual, good soul, and has the reputation of being the best manager In a school room in the country. He has good assistants. The school has won good repu- tation already, and will in time, ifnot so now, become the largest female school in the state. We like the rules prescribed for the scholars. If the pupil complies with them there is no doubt that she will profit largely thereby. We commend this school to those of our readers that may wish to give their daughters q first class or classical education.

A Free Public School.

It is very gratifying to know that the interest in school matters here is again beginning to revive. Our town was once noted for the zeal and energy displayed by it's people in this respect, and we en- joyed quite fame as a place where the education of the chil- dren was considered of first i'm portance. This same spirit yet pervades the most of our old citi- izens and many ofour new corners, and we can and always will be able to have good select school 1; but things have changed so much and we have so many children who will have to grow up in igno- rance and vice if they do not get the benefit of the public schools, that it becomes absolutely neces- sary for the good of present and flu ture society that there be main tained at this place a good graded free public school. The amount of tax which the school district is allowed to levy under the new constitution is not suffi- cient, coming as it does in depre ciated scrip, to sustain school. To remedy matters some of our public spirited citizens have con cludcd to make an effort to put in opSsation q nine months free pub lie school. This they feel conf dent they can do by a united effort. The amount of our appor- tionment from the state school fund, our special school tax and the aid we can secure from the Peabody Fund will leave but a small sum-a few hundred dollars ito be raised by donation.
 There will be a mass meeting of the people of this school dis trict at the school house to consid- CT this matter on Friday night, and it is to be hoped that every body will take an interest in it and attend the meeting. The ob- feet aimed at and the ends to be attained are surely praisworthy, and of such importance to the welfare of the children of the place and to the prosperity and good name of our town that the aid and sympathy of every good citizen will surely be secured.
 Let our people go to work and put this school in operation, em- ploy a sufficient number of good teachers and put all the children in school.

 Now, therefore, I, A. II.

The Russellville Democrat., 1875-08-19
Written for the DEMocRAT.l Great RefOrm--What has done
 1t?


 This question is almost invol untarily asked by every one who has been acquainted with the his tory of Russellville for the last two years.
 We have noticed q gradual i'm provement in the general morali- ty of the community during this time, and most especially during the past twelve months, the reform Las been so great that Russellvillc may we'll be proud of her name, and challenge any of her neigh boring towns or cities to show a better record.
 It will be remembered that It. tie over one year ago that there was five drinking and gambling saloons in Russellville-now there IS not one!
 Nearly every Saturday of year ago would witness q disgraceful drunken brawl on the streets with most disgusting and loathsome profanity, with the display of deadly weapons, and the threats of lives. Parties would have to be arrested and fined for disor- derly conduct.
 But since we have no saloons, our Saturday evenings pass off us quietly and civilly as any even- ing in the week; men come to ] town, attend to their business and return home before night sober, which is the richest boon that can be bestowed upon loving wives and affcctionate children.
 The law prohibiting the carry ing of deadly weapons has also worked a great reform. Eighteen months ago this law could not have been enforced in Pope county. But now every man has laid his revolver aside and shows a disposition to ob serve one of the best laws of our state.
 We also notice that all of the church denominations have a good congregation on the Sabbath Also the Sabbath school is in- creasing in numbers and-interest.
 And again the question is ask ed what has brought such re- form? We claim that no one or ganization, or society, or person, has worked this retormation-but a combined influence of all. First, public sentiment has spok- en out most nobly against Intem- perance, an evil which We claim to be the "root of all evil" Tn spite or the old adage that "mon cy is the root of all evil" Sec ond, the Good Templar's organiza- tion has had it's influence and has done good work. Third, and last, though not least, the fcrvant, effectual prayer of the righteous availeth much. Gods blessing has been called down upon all of the combined influences, and no one can help seeing and acknowl- edging the results. would put more trust in the spirit of the liv- ing God:than all the legislation of man. And let it be understood that from this time forth the man who undertakes to engage in the saloon business and deals out in toxicating liquors in Russellville, does it in violation of law, and against the will and wishes of a majority of the community in which he lives; and that he must understand that the prayers of Gods people will ever be lifted up against the trafic which causes so much crime, sin and misery in our country.
 Now, if the officers of the law are faithful, and the Good Tem- plars are faithful, and Gods peo- pie are faithful, a saloon can nev- CT live any length of time in our midst. M. B. R.
