The l.. K. X +. $. Railroad.

The line of this road passes thro' one of the finest portions of Arkan- sas. Through our county-Pope- it passes from east to west a distance of about twenty miles. The compa- ny owns large quantities of land in our county and the Land Commis- sioner is affording new corners every aid and attention in the selection of lands. There is no healthier nor more desirable DO: tion of the state than Pope county and the favor with which our county is viewed by all visitors is an assurance that ere long we will have a large addition of new citizens from other states.
 The untiring efforts which Col. Slack is making to bring immigra- ton to our State should be highly apprecirted by our people.
 Speaking of the prospect for im- migration from this source the Spirit Of Arkansas says:
 1.-The Assistant Land Commission CT of the Little Rock and Fort smith railway reports that beptember has been an unusually brisk month with them, and that they have never sold so much land in any former Septem- Der since the department has been open te business. A good sign you see. Among the samples that he sends to the Centennial this week, are several varieties of as fine apples as any portion of the United States can produce. We weighed one that pulled down the scales at sixteen ounces, and several more of twelve ounces weight. Another item about this department is that Commission CT Slack will be at home this week, bringing with him another crown of land buyers.'

Personal Mention.

Mir. IIoratio Bernard of the C)arksville Clipper, was ill town Monday.
 Capt. Bob Wilson got back from from St. Louis last Thursday. Look out for his new goods.
 Judge N. D. Shinn spent last week ill town. The miasma of the bottoms was too much for him.
 Our friend, Tray. Smith. now serves his friends from behind the counter at Bucks dry goods store.
 Col. Wittich, of Ozark, invaded our sanctum Friday and spent d pleasant halt hour with us. He went up the road again the same nay.
 Capt. Cad. Hanks smiled in upon us last Friday and remarked that Brooks Nicely & Co.,, Memphis, Tenn., were still in the ring, and ready to serve their Arkansas friends.
 Capt. J. s. Caruthers, chief of the cotton department of the substan- tial house of c. A. Eckerly & Bros, spent last Thursday ia town, and q right clever whole-souled gentleman we found him to be. The next time you come, Capt., stay longer, and we'll catch those cOnfounde,l trout if it takes all Summer.
 -Jno. c. Rye, just back from a trip to Howard county, favored us with a very pleasant call last Satur- day. He gives us an interesting re- port fromIthe section of the state through which he travelled. He in- forms us that the grand cause of Temperance is prospering in that portion of the state, most interest ing Lodge having been organized through and by his instrumentality at Center Point and Mineral Springs. Mr. Rye also informs us that he sent Us communication, which we re- gret not receiving. From the fact that he says various letters written to him also failed to reach their des- tination we are led to believe that there must be some bad post masters in that section of the State.

A Pope County Fair.

At different times during the past Spring and Summer we made the project of a county fair the subject of remarks, and endeavored to urge the importance and benefit thereof. We strongly advocated the holding of one this fall. Several of our cor respondents approved our views and further urged the matter upon the people of Pope county. We had hoped that enough interest would be aroused to get up Fair Associa- tion and give the first fair this fall |, but we find the summer has come and gone, October, the hamburger of Winter is here and we suppose there is no prospect or hope of anything toward such an enterprise being done. We regret that it is so, for there are many benefits to accrue from these annual displays and friendly competitions. We are not willing to believe that it is owing to a want of enterprise on the part of our farmers. We say farmers, for they are the ones to be most beneht- ted, and they should be foremost in the move. We think it is only for want of some one to take the lead in the matter that no such step has been inaugurated. Suppose we could have had nice little county fair here this fall where we could have gathered together samples of our fine agricultural products, spec imens of our fine timber, blocks of our stone-coal, and made display Of onr best stock; and then, suppose that by previous arrangement we had had an excursion arranged whereby we could display our show to q hundred or more of those from other states who would gladly avail themselves of such an opportunity.
 who can tell what good might have resulted? We hope another year will not be allowed to come and 20 without some steps being taken to assure a county fair next fall. Let this matter be discussed by our va fious Oranges, and committees ap-
 pointed to work 1t up. l. will pay.
The Russellville Democrat., 1876-10-05
Come to Pope County.

"P. II. A." the writer of Il rural letter in last Wednesdays Sun, asked:
 "iIew is q laboring man to get his living the coming winter? Crops have come in 50 poor that buekwheat, the main food for the poor class of people in this section in winter, will be worth from $l to $l.20; and yet what few business men here in- tend to do business this coming win ter say they shall reduce wages to $l per day. Now, 1 would like to know how a laborilg man can pay $50 per year rent for the poorest house, and perhaps $l5 more for fire wood, $1.25 per bushcl for potatoes, 30 to 90 cents per bushel for corn, and wheat $l.40 per bushel, and clothe a family of five or six little children ?''
 We have no doubt the outlook for the coming winter looks almost desperate to thousands of laboring men in the over-crowded eastern states; and the case of the above cor respondent is no doubt the case with thousands. What a pity it is that these struggling masses who can barely earn a meager sustenance in their present homes, and who can never hope to accumulate enough to become owners of homes of their own are not turned toward our state for relief. If we had thousand or so of them in Pope county now they could all find employment at which they could earn $50 to $40 per month. Corn at 20 cents, wheat at 60, and fuel for almost nothing. In few years they could own homes of their own. Let these enquirers know that they need no longer stare starv- ation in the face if they will come to Arkansas.

No Go.

The Stewart-Newton coalition, through their committee, Smithee, Gaulding and Harrell, are straining every point to justify the high handed, cictatorial, domineering course pursued by that faction. The Gazette is doing all it can to help them along. You are barking up the wrong tree, gentlemen. Your efforts will be in vain. You can neither persuade or scare the honest Democracy of the Third District into an endorsement of any such conduct. TIE PEOPLE will settle this matter at the ballot box, and they will there record their disapprobation of the trickery and sharp practice by which you pro- pose to keep } the North-West in sub jugation to the will of few Little Rock politicians. You have thrown down the gage, the people pick it up, and you must abide the result.

Good Men for Congress.

The Democrats cannot be too par ticular in selecting candidates for Congress. Men Of character and culture-men of integrity and cour- age-alone should receive nomina- tions.
 Not only are the chances of elect ing such candidates bet Ger, but they are the only kind that will be of any use in the next House of Represent atives.
 Such men will constitute commit- tees of investigation who will pene- trate to the root of past rascalities and present corruptions, and thus efiectually aid in the great work of reform in which we hope to see Pres ident 1ilden take the lead.-New York Sun.
 Arkansas will do her duty. With Garland in the Senate, and Slemons, Cause, Gunter and Cravens in the House we will be prepared to do our share in the grand reformatory movement which will be inaugurat- ed when Mir. Tilden takes the place of the present imbecile who occupies the presidential chair.

AN ExPLANATIoN.-It is a fact mot generally known that all sewing machine manufacturers paid license to Elias Howes Jr., the original in- ventor, and one machine of the kind for which license was asked always accompanied the application.
 Thus Mir. Howe had before him q sample of every form of sewing machine manufactured. Constant study upon them enabled him to avoid the defects of each, and inn prove upon the eXcellences of all. This fact explains the wonderful degree of perfection to which Mir. Howe brought his latest pattern of machine, without which advantages such result could not have been achieved.

Correspondence.

To the editor of the DEMocRAT:
 As your paper has been noted for it's fairness and it's disposition to give all parties hearing, respect fully ask the privilege of presenting | few words in defence of one sin cerely regard us one of the peoples truest, bravest and most steadfast friends, NJ. NJ. Pomeroy. Mir. P. is perfectly consistent--he has told his readers hundreds of times, in al- most every issue for the past tive years, that he would not suppors Mr. 1ilden nor any other candidate on the bondholtlcr's hard money platform; and if lie had given his support to the St. Louis nominee and platform, might we'll have been accused of being bribed, as I have no doubt many of the Metropolitan papers are.
 As to Mir. Weakly's proposition, it is merely piece of badinage, or banter, and the reply entirely iron ical, as real bargains of that sort are never made openly. The influence of any paper having the immense circulation of Pomeroy's Democrat, could be sold for twenty times the amount named, but it would have to be done privately, or it would ruin the purchaser. Pomeroy clung to the hope that the St. Louis conven- tion would nominate a man and platform in favor of currency, re- form and better times, until the very last, and censured the Indian- apolis convention as hasty and pre- mature; which shows that his at tachment to the Democratic party was very strong. Mr. F. may be wroEg ill his course, do not ask to defend that, but a man who has lost fortune in prosecuting and de- nouncing Tammany and other thieves when he might have made a million, would hardly sell out for (to him) a paltry sum Of one or four thousand dollars If 'Brick" is the Devil give him his due for he is at least an honest Devil. Yours truly,

RUssELIvILLE, ARK, Sept. 2S, '76. To THE TAx-pAYERs OF PopE CouN- TY:
 Since it seems impossible for the Fcourts to do anything with the Fowler injunction matter for the taxes collected in 1872. would re- spectfully ask that all parties who paid their taxes to said Fowler for said year being in their tax receipts and place them in my hands, and I will attend to having at least a part of the siXty-five per cent. erroneous ly collected on real estate refunded. parties holding receipts will please leave them at my office at their ear Hest convenience. that they may have the benefit of whatever amount Is due them from the county by their next tax paying.
