What a BristOw Man Pretenils
 to Know about it.
An Arkansas M. c. Bags x25,-
 900 in the Transaction.
Can all this be True?

A short time since a certain gentleman from St. Louis visited thls place and our neighboring town, Dardanelle, on a business tour. While in the latter place he met a certain other gentleman, dark featured, genteel and keen visaged, who was also visiting this section on BUSINESS. A con versatlon springing mp between the two gentlemen, the topic soon turned upon the Presidential outlook, and the various probabil- ities were discussed in all their phases. St. Louis gent asked gent with the dark features (who, as was soon disclosed by his con yersation, was a warm Bristow man what he thought of Blaine's prospects. With great deal of freedom and with an evident knowledge of the situation, tEe keen eyed stranger replied that Mir. B's chances were growing weaker since his name had got mixed up with the L. R. & F. s. Ky. Bond affair; but this matter, he proceeded to say, has not yet been made public as it really is, and when the whole truth comes out it will be found that there are others who are as deep in this matter as Mir. Blaine. There is, continued he, an Arkansas M. c. not over ten miles from this place who pocketed a cool $25, 1000 in the transaction. After convers- ing with the keen eyed gent suf- ticiently long to convince him that he was Cincinnatian who, notwithstanding his pretentions to be Little Rocker, was on Q political prospecting tour to our state, the St. Louis gent took his departure, fully convinced that "for ways that are dark and tricks that are vain" there are more than the "Heathen Chinese" who are peculiar.

legislature, is too poor to borrow IT oney at usurious interest, to be appropriated for big shows before the admiring eyes of swells and snobs at Philadelphia. It IS also too poor to keep up those aristo- cratic benevolent institutions for the deaf-mutes and the blind. These should be suspended for two years; though the insane should be provided for as long as there is 8 dollar in the State.
 Arkansas is bankrupt and the sooner we realize the fact the better, so that expenses may be cut down to correspond with her impecuniousness.
 It was not expected by the late assembly that the rate of taxation then established would be perma- nent, nor that contraction" of the currency would continue until we should be left with neither soft nor hard money with which to pay taxes. Let the "Independ- ent voter'' see to it that his man for the assembly is sound on this all important subject.

 SULPHUR STRINGS, May 8, '76. EDITOR DEMOCRAT: Having taken some pains to know, I can now say that there are 1880 acres of wheat in Griffin township. Though it looks rather low yet l think it will make a very fair yield, for the head looks fine anl large. Corn looks very we'll, and the farmer is very well up with his work, and has some time to talk about the coming elections, though there is not the interest taken that 1 would like to sec. This is the year every man should put in his mite in trying to rally our best men to the front.
 As yet there is only one candi- date mentioned in your paper MT. Byers, for Prosecuting Attor. ncy. Yes sir, we like the ring of that metal,, and we want several more just like him; that Is, we want to re-elect several of ocr officers, for they are tried and will do, besides they are already in practice and are not apt to make mistakes.
 We of Griffin wish A. J. Bay liss to announce himself for coun- ty clerk--yes sir, judge, you have been a father to our county and now please don't desert us.

 Reduce the State Tax.

It tmust appear evident to every one who will take look at the various delinquent tax lists that taxes must be REDUCED, or whole. sale confiscation will be the result
 Let taxpayers come together on this platform:
 lst, A reduction of one-half ei the State Tax.
 Fl, A r, duction of expenses to correspond to the reduced amount of State revenue.
 This will give the counties an opportunity to lift themselves up, to pay of their indebtedness, to build jails, courthouscs and poor houses.

The committee on transporta- ton for the national democratic convention have received replies from thirty railroads that they will make half fare rates, not only to delegates to the convention, but to all persons Tn any way con nectcd with the convention, and it is expected that all main roads in the country will acquiesce in this arrangement. A full list of roads agreeing to this reduction will be published as soon as all the rephes are in.

THE EARLY PIONEERS OF
 POPE.
Some of their names, how they
 lived and got along.
Report of Caleb Davis tO the Pope county Historical
 Society,


 Society. Mir. President and Members of the Pope county Historical So ciety:
 Your committee of one begs leave to submit the following re- port on the Early Pioneers of Pope county
 In 1920 James Cal den came to Pope county from Missouri, ac- compsnied by John Moore. They settled near Galla Rock, lived there many years, secured con siderable fortune for the times, and died in Gardens bottom in Yell county.
 Samuel Norris came here from Pennsylvania about 1920, and set tied at Norristown. He lived there a great many years and ac- cumulated great deal of land and property. He died there, a worthy good man.
 Col. Carol came from Pennsyl- vania to our county in 1920, as agent for the Indians, and settled near the mouth of the Illinois Bayou--lived there many years and died 1888.
 Esq. Poplar was an early immi. grant to Pope and settled at Nor
The Russellville Democrat., 1876-05-11

ristown. After accommodating considerable property and raising a large family in great credit died about 194O.
 Friday Pace, Judge Scott and many others, cafne to Pope, think, about 1925. They settled near Old Scotia. All were farm CTS, did we'll and lived to a good old age. There were more who immigrate. to Pope county about the same time and were good citi- Zens.
 The hardships to which these pioneers were subjected, arc in a measure interesting at this day. There were Indians and game in abundance. There was no navi- gation. Their bread was make by burning a cavity Tn the end of block of wood, and placing corn therein and beating or pounding into meal with the end of stick. How to raise the corn was the query. Some had brought a small ''scuter" blow with them, but many had no blows nor iron. These resort ed to the woods, got a forked limb, cut off one prong about twelve inches long, fixed handles to it and their blow was complete and they felt quite independent. And let me tell you with these implements they made frequently fifty bushels of corn to the acre. Their guns furnished meat. Where did they get their coffee, some one may ask. They did without it. For their clothes they dressed deerskins and buffa- To robes, which also furnished bed clothes. Yet these folks were in the night of fashion as much so as we are now with twenty yards of calico to the dress. For saddles they used forked sticks with two boards pinned on the under side, and the whole covered with a bear skin. Where did they get their hats? A coon or fox skin made into a cap with the tail hanging down, made a very fashionable head covering. They made deerskin moccasins, or turned squirrel skin flesh side out and drawed it on their feet feeling quite proud of the in castings oftheir pedal extremities. Raw hides cut in stripes answer ed for gearing.
 Frequently in clearing lands and leveling the cane brakes they would encounter a bear CT pan ther or rattle snake, in which case they had fight on hands, bu: in all these things the brave, hardy pioneers were not discouraged but met every difficulty with .. vim, and I doubt whether there is greater happiness and content ment at this day. The people were hospitable and free and en- jeyed themselves.
