tion of the great truth that they, and they alone, of all professions, have it in their power { with the help of Providence) to make times better, and they are going to do it; and how are they going to do lit? By making their farms all self sustaining and having a sur plus of everything raised on the farm to sell. But says objector,
 who are they going to sell all this surplus to; well sir, did it ever occur to you that over half the population of every country, on an
 average, follows other professions, and yet every one, from the least to the greatest, must he supplied by the farmer. Why sir, "The farmers the chief of the nation" "
 But wi ats the sign of better times in Pope county? It is this, and is
 based on action. The farmers sowed more wheat last fall, more oats in Feb'y, than they ever have done heretofore; and now the cry
 with them is, where can l get grass seed? The cars are bringing grass seed, the steamboats are
 bringing grass seed; our farmers are ali preparing some select spot for to SOW their grass on. They are going to sell you eggs, butter, onions, tomatoes, beans, peas, melons, squashes, cucumbers, po- tatoes, wheat, oats, corn, hay, and not so much cotton; they are going to pay cash for all they buy, and expect cash for all they sell. Then
 we will have plenty of money and better times, which is not far off in the future. Yours Truly,

FATAL AFFRAY.
Man Killed at Clarksville.
Fatal Finale of a Game Ot
 Cards.

From parties who came down on the train last Tuesday morn ing, we get mcager account of another fatal atfray at Clarksville, in which Mir. Geo. Blackburn was killed by one Charlie McFadden. 1t appears that the parties had been engaged in a game of cards, and Blackburn had quit one dol lar winner, and had started off, when McFadden demanded the dollar back again. Blackburn told him to come and get it; where upon McFadden drew a revolver and shot him dead upon the spot.
 McFadden, when he saw what he had done attempted to flee, but was captured a few hours later and is now in custody of the off cers of the law, We understand both parties reside in, or near Clarksville, and McFadden has q family consisting of wife and tive childIen.

 Into land without gloom; Ont of land filled with signing Land of the dead and the dying Into land without tomb. Ont of land of commotion. Tempest-swept as the mad ocean, Dire with the wreck drifting o'er, Into q land calm and quiet: Never storm cometh nigh it- Never wreck on its shore. Out of the land in whose bowers Perish and fade all the flowers Out of the land of decay Into the Eden where fairest Of flowers-and sweetest and rarest- Never shall wither away, Out of the world of the wailing, Thronged with anguish and aiiing, Out of the world of the sad, Into the world that rejoices- World of bright visions and voices Into the world of the glad. Out of a life ever lonefGl, Out of g land ever mournful,
 Where in bleak exile we roam Into joy-land above us Where there's a Father to love us-- Into s.0ur home, sweet, sweet home

 MR. EDIroR :-On last S-y about I2 o'clock, noon, the trim little steamer Ben Wood, partly on 2 pleasure trip and partly on the hunt of wood, landed here by request, and took on your cores pondcnt and several others of this place, and then ssiit out for up the river, showing an immense, ug- ly barge ahead. We glided up the river like q greased eel for about five miles, when we discovered q beautiful, clear little river, mak- ing in on the right. Capt. Joe immediately turned the wheel to the right, and in five minutes more we went stcaming up Hi nois Bayou. We went mp as far as Horse Shoe bend, where the barge was left for wood: tsie steamer was then turned round, and we run back to the mouth in q short time, discovering the truth, that Illinois Bayou is q river, navigable for steamboats, (if not too large ). But, borror of horrors, when we came to the mouth q fearful storm was just ahead, and Capt. Joe very wisely tied up. In about an hour it calm ed down little, Capt. Joe turned loose, put her in the Arkansas riv- CT, and ln twenty-five minutes, l was standing on the bank here, watching a streak of smoke go to Dardanelle. Yours,

 Winter AmtlSements. A

|
 Poor old Winter is fast draw ing his last breath;-and how many mourners has he? Alas | fear but few. But I love the grim old months. Yes, yes, winter has it's enjoymcnts, it's entertainments, and it's pleasures, as well as it's cold, storm, ice, and unbearable long nights.
 Then is the time for those good, old fashioned evening visits. Not for a little fashionable skip-in and skip-out sort of call, such as we are accustomed to now a days, that begin with g "how do yc do, dear. Such an age since I've seen your dear face !-when you know positively that you met l her ''face to face' on the street the day before ,-and end with a "do call again soon. l am ever delighted to see you And then, before you have hardly clos ed the street door, comes such ex pressions as q do wish that wo- man would stay at home. l never think of snatching quiet hour to read, but in she comes, with her never-ending gossip" But . real sit-down- talk, running over, in single sitting, half the incl dents of ones life. How it revives one to live over again those sacred items of past years.
 l Winter brings us lectures, public speeches of all kinds, dancing parties, for those who love to "tip tue light fantastic toe,'' long sermons at church for the more sober minds. It has also it's out 1 door amusements. Ask the mer- " skaters as they skim over the clear sparkling ice, or the wooing lover, as he takes his afAianced to follow the merry tinkling sleigh bells, snugly tucked in their warm robes, as they bound over the clean scope of country, away from the noise and din of the busy bustllng city; or that big schoolboy, as he even throws aside his coat, in the exc, ss of his eagerness to make Q "whopping big snow ball to give the teacher sumner" as he passes; or that little boy, who even cried on the road to school as he makes his spendid snow ca nal, or slides down that nice long hill on his fine new sled { for the sole purpose of drawing it up again, that he leased papa or mamma" about, | fortnight past. 'f-Ask these if winter is dull or 1 dreary. l think they will all agree with me, that it is just the time for amusement. And then there is reading, that most splen- did of all splendid amusements for those splendid long evenings. Oh, what a blessing! And how thankful we should be that we are enabled to study and learn the thoughts of others through the me dium of books and papers.

AIR. EDITOR: l am not one of those beings who believe in su-
 perstitious old graveyard ghost
 stories, and many traditional signs and wonders that have been hand ed down to us from our grand fathers and grandmothers,' as cer- tain fore-runners of some future event. But l am firm believer in signs, notwithstanding, but they must be based upon action, and with this theory in view, l am of the opinion that better times are not far off; and why? Because the sign of better times is based upon substantial visible action on the part of the farmers at this time. They are waking up from their former lethargy to realiza.
The Russellville Democrat., 1875-03-25

The Indiana editorial excur- sion party visited the Cotton Ex- change of Memphis on last Thurs day morning. From thence they went to New Orleans.
 On Monday March 10th, . terrific hurricane visited Rienzi, Miss, razlng to the ground a number of houses and killing sev- eral persons.
 We observed two little boys, the other day, engaged in an earnest discussion over two little terrier pups. Their conversation grew more earnest and their words quicker and sharper. On enquirIng the cause of the discus sion, we found the little fellows were only trying to decide WHICH ONE LOOKED MOST ALIKE.
 -One of our prominent mer- chants reports to us that Ill rlae of twelve miles he found over i five hundred acres of lew ground. This is in the river bottom. Sim liar reports come from other parts of our county, and go to prove that the farmers of Pope county are not slow to sec the drift of events, and are hastening to keep pace with other counties, as they march onward and up- ward to meet the great future in store for Arkansas.
 -THE ORDER OF To-DAY.-This being the day which our excellent governor has designated as q day for thanksgiving to Providence for our new prosperity and promising future prospects. There will be services at the Presbyterian church at eleven o'clock, Rev. Enoch Jones will deliver the dis course. The business houses and offices and shops will be closed from 10 o'clock g. m. until ] p. m There will be missionary meet | ing at the same church and ad- dresses will be made by the Rev s Messrs. Dodson, Smith and Bry- ant.
 --GIvE US A REsT.--There are some newspapers in Arkansas, which seem to make it their chief study to see what they can find Tn other newspapers to find fault with. Their forte seems to be in ventilating the faults and short comings of other papers, just as though the people cared anything about the family quarrels of news paper editors. For our part we would feel exceedingly gratiiied if such newspapers could find something else to talk about surely they could not find any thing less palatable or edifying to their readers. Give us rest on newspaper quarrels.
 -VeriG, Spring has come. The lark has come forth, and his clar- ion notes sound joyfully as he scars away to meet the sun. "The swallow sings sweetly from her hole in the wall," and the mock ing bird in wonton sport runs thro' all the varied notes of the feath- cred tribe; fouLtlins murmuring, shed balmy essences on the air, which woo to slumbers; the sun light bathes the hill tops with floods of molten gold; the soft breezcs play in gentle dalliance with flower and shrub, stealing sweet odors at every touch.
 We see the sweet daises come peep
 ing;-
 The rich peach-blossoms unfold, And the gay DAFFoDILs so slyly come
 creeping
 From their retreat in the hard fro
 zen mould.
 Indeed, around Russellville ey cry thing animate and inanimate seem moved by an instinct of happiness.
