THE SUN. NEW YORK CITY.


 NEW YORK CITY. WEEKLY AND DAILY FOR 1878. The Weekly Sun has now attained circulation of over seventy thou sand copies. It's renders are found in every State and Territory, and it's quality is well known to the public. We shall not only endeavor to keep it fully up to the old standard, but to improve and add to its variety and power.
 The Weekly Sun will continue to be thorough newspaper. All the news of the day will be found in it, condensed when uninportant, at full length when of moment, and always we trust, treated in clear, interesting and instructive manner.
 It is our aim to make the Weekly Sun the best family newspaper in the world. It will be full of enter taining and appropriate reading of every sort, but will print nothing to offend the most scrupilous and deli- cate taste. It will always contain the most interesting stories and TO- mances of the day carefully selected and legibly printed.
 The Agricultural Department is a prominent feature ill the Weekly Sun, and its articles will always be fresh and useful to the farmer.
 The number of men dependent on politics is increasing, and the Weekly Sun is their paper especial ly. It belongs to no party, and obeys no dictation, contending for principle, and for the election of the best men. It exposes the cor cuption that disgraces the country and threatens the overthrow of re- publican institutions. It has no fear of knaves and seeks no favors from their supporters.
 The markets of every kind and the fashions are regularly reported in its columns
 The price of the Weekly Sun is one dollar a year for sheet of eight pages, and fifty-six columns. AS this barely pays the expenses of pa- per and printing, we are not able to make any discount or allow any premium to friends who may make special efforts to extend its circula- tion. Under the new law, which requires payment of postage in ad- vance, one dollar year, with twen- 1, ty cents the cost of prepaid postage added, is the rate of subscription. It is not necessary to get up clnl1 in order to have the Weekly Sun at this rate. Anyone who sends one dollar and twenty cents will get the paper postpaid, for year.
 We have no travelling agents.
 The Weekly Sunlight pages. fifty-six columns. Only $l.2O q year, postage prepaid. No discount from this rule.

TIE DEMOCRAT is thoroughly in- dependent in it's course. under no pledge or covenant to support the schemes or fortunes of any man or set of men, always having at heart first, the good of the people of Pope county, and of the state of Arkan sas. It claims no right to lead or direct in politics, or any other sphere; but it does claim the right, and will fearlessly and at all times assert it, to speak it's own opinions, on all matters coming ;within the scope of its duty as an independent journal. Whatever prominence it maintains in the affairs of this county or State, will be voluntarily accorded by the people who support it. In short the DEMOCRAT wishes to be judged solely upon it's own merits as a local and state newspa- per, having for it's chief object the dissemination of the news of the day with such comments upon current topics as seem appropriate and are conscientiously entertained by its management. It will heartily sup port all movements, political or otherwise, which promise to fur thur, and unhesitatingly oppose those which would jeopardize, the interests of the people. In every department it will be as enterpris- ing as it's patronage will justify. Sensible men will approve the busi- ness management that limits expen- allure to the bounds of income; on- ly fools or enemies expect degree of excellence in all points that can alone be attained by the possession of resources and income.
