The Russellville Democrat., 1875-08-19

tion it is said came from some re marks, made by Barnes about .
 lady. The wound is not supposed 1 to be mortal. From the repor
 we suppose the shootist is justifi
 able as Barnes threatened tt
 shoot first and drew a pistol when
 the other stepped in and got [
 shot gun and fired with effect as
 stated.
 Arkansas Post: The outlook
 now is quite encouraging. Sun
 shine, bright; water at its maxi
 mum height; levees all safe; crops
 rushing to maturity at rapid
 speed-never were better in this
 country. Don't know how they
 are to be gathered, or whether
 there will be room to contain
 them. Every packet reports fa-
 vorable news from the upper
 streams. Every farm product
 is being improved by the high
 tide which acts as 9 partial irri-
 gation rising up from under strata
 and gently moistening the surface.
 Spirit of Arkansas: Dr. H. c.
 Howsley, of Water Station, Jefier- son county, Ark, has just cut his clover the second time this season, and it averages, for the two cut tings, six tons per acre. This is still abundance of time for anoth- CT cutting, before fall, and he ex- poets to realize in all, for the sea- son, between 8 and 9 tons to the acre. That is profitable far ming, with clover at twenty-five dollars ton-and we have thousands of acres of just as good land for sale at two dollars and fifty cents per acre.
 Ozark Banner: The election in the Indian Nation results in the triumph of the Downing party, their candidates, Chas. Thompson for the chief and Col. w. P. Adiar, second chief being elected by about 600 majority. Ross only carried two districts. It is to be hoped that the killing and mur- dering will be stopped now the election is over. Two more such cases reported the last week and how many more unknown.
 Standard: On last Saturday night, Sam Harris (col. tried to make an angel out of one Jones, col. ), with his little pistol. At the discharge of the pisto! Jones fell and "possomed," to keep Harris from taking another pop at him. Harris was arrested, and as he couldn't tell a lie, he waived an examination OF the charge of an assault with intent to kill and murder, and was placed under a two hundred dollar bond to an swer at the next term of the Cir | cult Court. Ike was required to l pay ten dollars for his pistol prac- lice, and cheap enough at that.
 Clarksville Van. Guard: While our up-thc-country trip we passed up on the south side of the river to Van Buren, and back on the north side, and with ,aa Or two exceptions found the crops excellent. The farmers are feeling good from neck to heels, he merchants all wear smiling faces. The crop of greenbacks is decidedly short, but we know that inc crops will bring that all right.
 Clarksville Van-Guard: The ,orn crop in Johnson county, this 'ear, is better than it has been or years; indeed, to couch it in a nut shell" it is simply FINE. I'm migrants, Johnson county, Arkan- as, is the place for you to come 0. We invite you to come and hare our good fortunes, and make or yourselves a permanent home n our midst. We invite from all cctions.
 White Co. Record: We have 'efore us head of wheat which ome nomenclature Cuba, Chinese nd Egyptian wheat We have card these three different names pplied, and one man anglocised by calling it "chicken corn" n appearance the kernel resem- les diminutive peas, and grows n stems like wheat in clusters, . a cone similar to a pine pple. The sample before us was = aised by Mir. s. NJ. Rice, and he avs gentleman on the moun- aims raises it regularly, and has ground into flour, and ayers that ou couldn't tell it from ordinary our when made into biscuits. It easily cultivated, about l foot part in drills, and is said to field 75 bushels per acre. Ifsuch e the fact, and we doubt it not,
 can be made profitable here.
 Fay etteville Democrat: We card one of our farmers say the Lher day, that he would sell from O0 to a 1000 bushels of corn 70 certs a bushel. The corn | rop in this county will be inn iense, and there will be little or O demand for it; however, our armers should not give their corn ( way or waste it.
