A Word With Our Friends.

Last week in less than an hour after our paper came from the press we did not have a single copy of that issue on hand. To meet our increased circulation we this week add few quires to our weekly edition, and while we feel thankful for the liberal patronage thus far given us, we beg leave to urge it upon our friends to aid us. in still further extending the cir culation of the DEMOCRAT. We have the most satisfactory evi- dence that our paper is doing good. We now have paying sub- scribers in more than a dozen states, and this of course is great advertisement for our county. We are hattered at the number of readers we have in so short time, but we are not yet satisfied with our circulation at home. It Is for home that we are working, we wish to make our paper a use ful local paper, and we want it read every week by every family in our country. What a grand recommendation of our county it would be, if we could proclaim it to the world that every family in Pope county subscribed and read our paper. We tell you it would at once rivet the conviction upon everybody that our county is filled up with intelligent, energetic, in dustrious and prosperous people; and strangers would be proud to | cast their fortunes among us. There could not be a better recom- mendation than this. People who read a good home newspaper, grow in public spirit, in knowledge and in usefulness. Will not each sub scriber whom we now have ill Pope county try and send us at least one new subscriber by the 4th of July? Ii your friends whom you solicit have not the money tell them we will take wheat at the highest market price. Press the matter upon them, show them the importance and the ben eft that will be derived and they will subscribe. And to many of the old influential citizens of the county who ought to be jealous in the matter of sustaining and building up an influential journal at home, we say subscribe at once, all of you who have not yet done so, lend your influence, in getting others to subscribe. Don't look upon this as q contribution, but view it IS it is-as an investment which will pay largely in useful information to yourselves, and in building up your county. When you have read your papers send them to friends in other states, and let the world know that we have live population of intelli- gent people. We confidently hope our friends will act at once on our suggestion,

The extra train which passed up yesterday, cane near meeting with a disaster at Piney Bridge. As they moved on the bridge it was observed that the timbers in the center of the bridge commenc ed to give way. The engine for tunately had time to back off be- fore any damage was sustained.
 The regular passenger train which passed up at 1:l0 P. m. found the extra waiting for them at Piney. Both trains returned, being unable to pass over the bridge.
 Copies of the DEMOCRAT can be had at this office, wrapped and ready for mailing, for five cents.

 MT. Cad Hanks, the popular representative of the old reliable house of Brooks, Medley &Co., was in town yesterday. This is one of'the houses which is not too close listed to patronize our paper and we trust our merchants will always do something for Cad whenever they need anything in his line.
 --THE GLORIOUS FoURTH.-If we are to have anything going on on the 99th anniversary of our independence, it is time to go to work. We think the day should be celebrated by general jubilee. For the past ten years we have had but little to encourage us to celebrate the day, but now we think we have ample reason to glory in the day.
 --Parlor organs. Mir Daniel F. Beatty who advertises in an other column in this paper, will send to any one wishing to pur- chase, a price list and list of testi- monials, some of whom you may know, using these organs, &c., whereby our readers may select q first class instrument. If any of our readers desire to purchase they will send one for examina- tion by sending them good refer ence, and if the organ is not as represented it may be returned at their expense, they paying freight both ways. This surely is good offer. See advertisement in an other column.
 We observed several of the citizens of Clark township in town last Saturday hunting the Assessor to give in their taxable property. The Assessor had just came to this place from Clark township where he stay ed two days, but those men did not know it. Had they been subscribers and readers of the DEMOCRAT they would have been better posted, and would not always be behind, because we make it point to al ways give every item of impor- tance to our readers. We pub iishcd the list of the Assessor s appointments gratuously as a matter of information to the peo- pie, and those who read it need not be ignorant of the time and place where he will attend in each township. Gentlemen subscribe for our paper, and you will find il easy to keep posted on all public movements and matters, and will save yourselves much trouble and ten times what it will cost you.
