Anger in the Light Of Scripture

ton taken 6y Rev. J. p Thatcher, in his
setmon on Eph Iv-26. lst think he
did not clearly state the position Of Dr.
A. Clarke, on the subject. ID. think be
did not properly define anger
He uses such phrases az what We
commonly understand by ahger;' "as men
get angry" etc. Now "What we COM
monty understand by anger" Is very in-
definite. When We undertake to teach,
We mus, be more definite. All the authori'
ties in defining anger clearly distinguish
ed between sinful and sinless anger. See

It il intimated in the Philadelphia
Ledger that the iron trade l. dull because
there Is little or no demand for rails by
the railroad companies. The Lsdger i,
informed, SO It states, that the material
for rails ia advanced preparation figures
up to quite large amount, exceeding any
demand. The Ledger fails, however, to
note the demand for Rs1i rails and the in.
fuencs which steel. making establishments
exert upon the iron trade. These estab'
lishments under the Bes.imer process are
multiplying and are somewhat reyolu'
tioniting rail industry.

RAILROAO SMASH-UP.

As the down train on the Ft. Smith road was coming over the down grade about ' or s miles above Russellville last Saturday morning, some of the freight boxes jumped the track, causing what came near being a serious acci- dent.
 As it was, however, the coup ling giving way, the box cars which had jumped the track were detached from the engine and no very serious results ensued. A Mr. Miles from Ozark, was con siderably bruised, and at first was thought to be badly injured, but subsequent examination proves that his injuries are not so bad as to be considered fatal. Mir. Nat Graves, Conductor Buck ner, and the Postal Agent were considerably bruised.

COTTON PREMIUMS AT
 THE ST. LOUIS FAIR.

At the St. Louis Fai., Arkansas won the premium at the sweep stakes display. The winning bale was grown by Wooden X Son, Helena, Ark, and took the $500 premium. It was retained by the St. Louis Cotton Exchange, to send to the Centennial, the owner receiving $l25 fer it. There was exhibited at the fair 249 bales from the states of Missouri, Lou isiaaa, Texas, Mississippi, Tenn essee, and Arkansas, and the h. dian Territory, but Arkansas beat them all.
 We had the pleasure of shaking the hand of our friend Boyd, of the Arkansas Grange . paper which all farmers should read-on last Thursday. He was here to attend at the organization of the County Grange.
The Russellville Democrat., 1875-10-21
Pope County Grange.

The Changers met at Shiloh, OH Friday the 18th, to organize q County Grange, as up to that time they had only organized as a County council
 Before organizing they listened to a somewhat lengthy, but very instructive and eloquent address from Bro. Boyd, Lecturer of the State Grange.
 A brief history of the order was given, the necessity for it was plainly shown and It's objects clearly stated.
 Every listener went away satis- fled, and many no doubt enlight- ened on some subjects. MT. Boyd told us that it was not our object to tear down by injuring others, but to build up all by educating the farmer and elevating his cal ling and making it more remuner- ative. There IS not a farmer, working man, nor, in fact any one who would not have enjoyed the speech as treat. MT. Boyd is an elegant and accomplished speaker and handled the currency ques- tion ably. He also explained the Rockdale plan of cooperation. After lunch the County Grange elected officers, and adjourned to meet on Saturday, October 23d, to transact unfinished business.

A Grieyous Complaint.

The sickness-especialiy among the children-ofou town-during the past week or two has proved fata, in u number of cases, and our graveyard shows the fresh, new mounds which mark the last resting place of all that is mortal of quite a number of our towns peoples children.
 During this late season.of sick ness, it has been our unpleasant task to give ear to the complaint, on several occasions, of poor, needy, laboring men, whose fami- lies depend for their daily bread upon their labor, that they have actually had to stint their little ones of bread and meat, on ac- count of losing so much time at the graveyard, preparing graves. We know, too, that they do not complain without cause. We know of poor men who earn the bread for their families by the sweat of their brow, who lost as much as three days last week at this mournful work of charity.
 This is a grievous complaint and we trust for humanity's sake that our city authorities will not be deaf to our appeal to look into the matter Let us, if we do nothing else, see that rcproach comes not to us on this score. We should have a city sexton; our city cemetery should be our nearest object of care, and no one should have grief added to their sorrow by finding It nara to get the remains of their departed friends decently and promptly inferred.
 We hope never to have our sense of duty to prompt us to bring this matter before our town authorities again.

THE RUssELLvILLE DEMOCRAT THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2l.

ceiving no bids to do the work, nothing in this line was done.
 The vicious system heretofore established by law, and under which the lessee has a contract for period of ten years from the 7th day of May, 1873, of working the prisoners outside of the walls and away from the penitentiary, has brought about many of Che abuses and troables shown to exist in the management of penitentiary. The increase of convicts for the past ten months has necessitated the putting of two in a cell in many instances-this of course is an evil greatly to be deprecated. The present rules and regula- tions of the penitentiary were es- tablished several years since, and were in force when the present lessee made his contract with the state, already referred to, and the present commissioners have rec ognized them as still operative.
 How far these rules and regula- tions can be changed to affect this contract of the lessee the com mis- sioners are not satisfied; bat that they should be changed in some important particulars, and the entire system of managing the penitentiary modified, the commns. sioners have no doubt, and they will present these matters to the legislature in due time for action, and endeavor to have such laws passed as vii, prevent in future, if not entirely, at least in great part, mismanagement and abuse. and correct the evils now existing in the conducting of the state prison.
 The commissioners Lave no power to punish for any offense or abuse found. Under the con tract they have the authority to vacate the same for any willful violation of any of it's provisions, on ten days notice. The con- missioners have not found any such violation of the contract as would justify them in resorting to it's cancellation.
