A DAY IN ALMA.
What We Saw and Noted.

! ED Press: On Saturday last we had the
| pleasure of making visiI to our growing
| neighbor Alma. 1t was with some misgiv-
ings that we entered that railroad town. AS its
fame as fighting precinct has been noised
abroad considerably. Everything. however,
was conducted in the most peaceable manner
and not a single disturbance occurred during
| our stay. Ed. Steward is at the head OF the
| police rec, and is a terror TO evil doors, The
town is increasing in size rapidly. The saw
mill owned by Locke, Brodie 4 Locke. runs
night and day. with two sets of hands, and
still cannot supply the demand for lumber
and bridge timber During Saturday the
stores were crowded with customers The
amount of trade done in this place is really
surprising, and we shall ever after this. hold
Alma higher in the scale of mercantile i'm
portance than we have hitherto done. The
democratic primary. for Alma township met
at p. IN. and sent Jas. i, Smith and j. c.
Betten as delegates to the county convention
without instructions.
DR.. Black IS spoken of prominently rs a
candidate for Representative. He runs prom
inently on the anti dog law platform. and if
elected will introduce an amendment to the
game-law prohibiting the shooting of grouse
during certain seasons. The Doctor says
his chief strength lies in Lafayette, Mountain
and Vine Prairie townships, although he
would not object to few votes from Van
Buren,.
The track-layer andhri,lge- builders on tn.
railroad were hard ~ work all day Sanday.
an, h,, .i,4 s.i.-. you go to press the track
will be on this side OF Frog Bayou.
Take all things into consideration and we
cannot but express great pleasure in connec-
ton with our visit. The worthy proprietor
of the Bostick Honse and his ablewife
did all in their power for our entertainment
but they were filled tooverlowing With dele
gates to the Methodist Conference and our
friend Mr.. Renfroe gave us a bed for the
night.
In speaking to all the prominent men of
the town regarding the much talked of pro-
ject of moving the courthouse to Alma. we
found that. without exception they were all
opposed to the project as entailing too much
expense to the county, and too little good up
on them,
Many of our Van Bnren citizens We're in
Alma, Sunday, at the church. services, and all
seemed much pleased. ITEM

ETAs an evidence of what little in.
terest the masses of people take in
tho elootias, We hare to cite Uur own
township meeting Saturday-not over a
dozen or fifteen persons were present
1t is true, there was nothing special to
call out full meeting, as all were, appar
emily, of one mind on the business to
come before it. But to think that out of
a democratic vote Of four or five hun
dred, not over a dozen or fifteen could
be assembled together. to elect delegates
to a County Convention which meets on
Saturday nextto send delegates to the
State Convention at Little Rock, for the
nomination Of a governor and other State
offices, and to select delegates to the Ma.
tional Convention at st. Louis for the
nomination of candidates for President
and Vice President, was simply ridicn
lous. We hope, ,showever. that every
township in the county will be represcn.
ted, on Saturday next.
