 LOOK OrT.---All persons inter- ested are hereby warned that the time allowed for filing school warrants for cancellation and reissue will expire on the 25th of this month. All warrants except those of special school districts.) not pre- sented by that time will be cancell- ed and no further recourse be had i on the districts for the same. Since the DEMOCRAT noticed the ridiculously exaggerated figures given in the Spirit of Arkansas In regard to the number of acres in cultivation in Washington county, several of our contemporaries have also called for correct figures anG expressed disapproval of exagger- ations, but we have had no correc- ton yet. Even the Se ntinel repub- fishes the figures without having the frankness to say that they. were very incorrect.

 LIE HowE SEWING MAcHINE.- The following, which we take from the London Courier, England, is conclusive evidence of the superior ity of this perfect sewing machine:
 "Among the many who have been the recipients of medals and honors at the Exhibition at Paris, none stand so high on the list as the eel ebrated inventor and manufacturer of sewing machines, Elias Howe, Jr. The emperor, who shows great tact and discrimination in these matters, has made Mir. Howe Knight of the Legion of Honor, and the jury on sewing machines who had the task of testing and awarding prizes for excellence, unanimously decided that Mir. Howe was not only entitled to great honors as the inventor of the sewing machine, but that he carried off the palm as manufac.. turer as we'll, and to him was award ed, accordingly, the first of the only two gold medals assigned to this class. The number wno have called on Mr. Howe at his office, 64 Regent street, to offer their congratulations, prove that many besides the einper- or and the jury acknowledge the justice of the claim" See adver- tisement.
 A new Christian gem has found its way into this community. This treasure is entitled "Iiitchcock's new and Complete Analysis of the Holy Bible." Its plan is singularly comprehensive. The labor am care necessary to the completion of such an arrangement can be sufficiently appreciated only by those who are familiar with the execution of simi- lar tasks. It will often throw more light upon a chosen topic than whole day of random researches could secure. It's entire freedomfrom anything denominational or dogmat- ic makes it emphatically book for every one, of whatever name or sect, who desires a better knowledge of the Bible. It is the most complete library of materials for the study of the word of God ever broughtto our notice. It gives ready access to every subject upon which the scriptures teach. As an index to what the Bible teaches on any subject it has no equal. With it's assistance the study of the Bible becomes easy and satis- flying 1t being so arranged and clas- silied that even a child can search it's pages with delight. Therefore let all, as they have an opportunity, thoroughly examine the work, and we feel sure that they will be con- vinccd that it is indispensable for every household.
