Hard Times fos Newspapers.

Hard Times fos Newspapers.
 We respectfully call the attcn- tion of our wise e-heads q? in the legislature who are trying to re- duce the fees for legal advertising down to a rate which common sense ought to condemn, to the following extract from an article headed Newspaper Disasters" !" which we clip from Pomeroy's Democrat:
 We learn from the American Journalist that no fewer than two hundred daily and weekly news papers in this country have been forced to suspend publication. The same paper estimates that not less that five millions of dollars have been lost by publishers in various parts of the country dur ing the year just past.
 As our cotcmporary says, the mortality of newspapers has been fearful, and the lessons of the past year have been unusually severe. Hundreds of newspapers which have not been forced into suspen- sion got through the past year with heavy losses and commence the new year on the same stern chase after profits hoped for, but which will be hard to realize.

THE LIQUOR LICENsE
 QUESTION.

Below we give . decision of the Attorney General in regard to H. cenisng dram shops. This qucs- tion has been agitated to consid- erable extent in our town, the a. loon men havind made demand upon the authorities for licsnce, which the latter refused b grant. because this township voted mo liocnce." We presume this ds- cision will settle the matter, as t covers the point precisely. Hon J. W. Jordan, County Judge,
 Hot Springs, Ark:
 DEAR Sln-Youre Of llth Inst. to hand, in regard to the llcenslug q dramshops, and, as have had many questions propounded from differ ent quarters, l will take 0ccasion tO respond through this answer to your letter. 1 was inclined to think 1t first that no license could be grsnted where there had bean no election, but, upon further consideration, am of the opinion that license may be granted by the board of supervisors, unless there is an election and . ma- jority of the votes cast are against llcense.
 A license, whenever granted, is good only till the end of the calendar year. All dealers at wholesale or retail in ardent or vinous liQuore arc required to procure license, and for the license to cell In quaptit1es not less than ono quart arc liable to . state tax of $9s and to . county tax also of 496.
 When the vote In . townshlp is agAinst license, there can be, in my opinion, no license granted to retail in any city or incorporated town In such township.
 When the vote In . township 10 for liccnse, any ward of city or iu- corporated town In such towship may prohibit license within its lims lts by the vote Of . majority In such ward against it.
 Upon . state license to sell in quan- titles not lees than one quart, no dealer can cell In any county with out license from tho county court of the county.
 have the honor to be, very truly your Obedient servant,
 6. P. HuoHxs,
 Attorney General.

HORRIBLE AccDEllT.
AN INVALID WOMAN ROASTED ALlvEi

Most Remarkable Presence oi
 Mind of the sshfortsa- nate Victim.
 In the western part of Russell vile there has lived for some time past, . family by the namc of FlREsroxE, consisting of | hus. band, wife and two children, one three years old and the other three or four months old. The wife had been ih feeble health for some time, but had SO far recovered as to be able on Saturday morning the End of this month to be up: and on that morning she was sit- ting in chair before . large open fireplace with her youngest child on her lap. Herself and children were alone in the house, her hus band being out some distance in a lot. The unfortunate woman had sat up until she began togrow 50 faint, she arose to put her child in it's cradle, but had barely gained her feet when she tainted and fell back directly upon the glowing embers. How long she remained in this perilous position is not known; sufficiently long, however, to literally roast her nesh. When she became conscious of her con dition the self-possession she ex- hibited was truly remarkable. First she picked up her child which she had dropped when she fainted, and put it in its cradle. She then ran into another room and seizing . bucket of water poured on her head partially ex- tinguishing her burning clothing. She then ran and jumped into bed and endeavored to smother out the fire by wrapping the bed clothing about her, and by screaming brought her husband to the house. All the relief that the best medical attention could afford was procur- ed, but all in vain, the unfortunate victim after more than two weeks of indescribable suffering was re- lieved by death on Sunday morn ing the 18th. The fortitude and patience with which the woman uncomplainingly bor. her suffer Ing, her calm resignation and the remarkable courage and self-pos- session displayed at the time of the accident mark the victim as . woman of extraordinary heroism.

LOCAL NEWSPAPERS.

The following article from the New York Newspaper Reporter contains 50 much truth and com- mon sense, that we cannot refrain from giving it to our readers. If our business men and other citi- Ecns will read it and be guided by its suggestions, they will be sure to reap ample benefit from % doing.
 Americans read more newspa- pers than any other people, and have more, better and cheaper ones to read, because they are the most intelligent, active and progressive nation the sun shines upon; and the perfection to which the Amer ican press of this day has attained, will ever be the marvel and pride of our age and race.
 But we desire especially to call attention, now, to the place % we'll filled by local press, which makes especial effort to bring into prominent relief the business and interests of some particular local itv, and while it leaves the broader and wider field to the enterprIsing dailies, selects some prescribed quarter upon which to concentrate all it's efforts.
 To insure success in the midst of such active competition and in the face of SO great disadvantages, it is apparent that the local paper must have the united and generous support of the people where it's lot is cast; as it will certniuly re- ceive a willing response from aLy community which knows how to appreciate, at it's true value, so much labor expended for it's ben eft. Certainly none can glve this support unwillingly or grudg- ingly, when they remember the direct and immediate advantages flowing from a general and hearty recommendation to onc's immedi- ate ncighbors and friends of what ever he has to sell, or can manu- facture, or desires to announce.
 Then, too, to know, of Satur- day evening, as you open the well filled columns, redolent of friends and home, that every page will bear the mark of some familiar hand and discourse upon some topic of especial domestic interest is indeed . delight which the more stately daily, and even the month ly magazine wrapped in the daint- jest of covers, often fail to impart.
 Give . hearty support, then, to the local journal; send in your subscriptions cheerfully and promptly, and with an expression of lively good will for the hard working editor and his corps ol assistants; remember the charac- ter of q place--whether alive or dead-whether liberal or parsimo. nious--whether progressive or a, . dead level of fossilized stupidity lis better reflected and oftencr demonstrated hy m inspection oi

TAX BALE SUSPENDED.

An act to suspend the sale of property for non payment of taxes and fixing the penalty for non payment at ten per cent, has passed both houses of the general assembly and gone to the governor for approval. All sales for 1873 and 1874 are suspended for one year from the passage of the act. Senator Tobey voted against the bill.
