The Russellville Democrat., 1876-06-22

will light in again like double gear cd lightning. WE are not begin ming to get tired of it.
 Why don't our town ladies get up concert, festival or something | of the sort occasionally? Aside 1 from the pecuniary aid which they might thus secure for some worthy odject, all such gatherings have a beneficial influence. They add to the social enjoyments of life and make people happier and better.
 FAIR WARNING.-We give fair warning to the old ladies in the country who have got a nice crop of spring chickens, that if they wish to realize anything for them, they had better bring them in now and pay up years subscription for the DEMOCRAT, for our word for it, when the swarm of candidates start round chickens will stand poor showing. Be wise to-day.
 The Sunny South comes to us this week heavily draped in mourn ing for the death of the editors son. Col. Seals has sustained a crushing loss---the loss of q noble, gifted son, just verging upon manhood, He met his death near Port Royal, by an accident to an excursion train upon which he was passenger. Our sympathy is poer consolation in trial like this, and we can only hope and pray that the true Com forter will reconcile the bereaved parents to their great loss.
 A young man from the rural districts, who is evidently deter mined to live and learn, writes:
 "Whcn l put on a new suit of clothes and call on my sweetheart l never know what to do with my hands. Pray help me out of this awkwardness."
 We'll, young man, we have found the easiest way to overcome the em- barrassment under which you labor, is to put one arm around the young lady's waist, and it will be no troub- le at all for the other to take care of itself.
 An Irate father has studded his front gate with nails, painted his doorsteps with tar, and keeps his watchdog on half rations, but has found to his sorrow that he can't make courting unpopular by any such devices.-Ex.
 Perhaps if he will have his pretty daughters stud their bodices with double pointed tacks he may be more successful in ridding himself of their troublesome beauX.
 ---PRosPECTERs.--- the same train by which we returned home last Saturday we found Mir. Jacob Reifel, of the land department of the L. k. & F. $. By, in charge of a company of gentlemen from Ohio, Michigan, and Iowa, who visit our state with a view of perhaps select ing homes here. The company con- sisted of Messrs. N. Munro, W. NJ. Bokus, N, Virguson, I. B. Stocking, --- Varley, and s. r. Judson, of Michigan; G. W. Tower, of Iowa; :; --- Brown of Ohio; and --- Spencer, of Indiana. They are all intelligent, honest and clever looking gentle man and we should be glad to have them select homes in Old Pope. They have promised to honor the DEMOCRAT office with call before leaving.
 ---GEoRGE w. BERRYMAN.---This gentleman who is well known to most of the voters of Pope county, to-day announces himself candi- date for County and Probate Judge of Pope county. His announce ment will be found in the proper column of to-day's DEMOCRAT. It will be remembered that MT. Berry man was a candidate at the last election and ran mighty rcspecta- ble race for this same office. He flatters himself that he is much more competent now than he was then, and while he realizes the importance of the office, he has no fears about giving full and entire satisfaction if elected We can say that we know MT. Berryman to have ever been a true man and always a stead- fast Democrat. MT. B. submits his claims to the Primary Election, only asking fair fight and an hon. est consideration of his case. Keep , it in mind that George is candi- . date and wants your vote.
 DOVER, Pope Co.,, Ark.---The - messenger of death has again visited our town and invaded the family circle claiming as it's victim one of those innocent ones of whom the Q Saviour said, "Suiler them to come unto me-" Little SIDDuE, youngest daughter of J. C. and Mamie D.
 Rye, was born May 24th, 1874 and : died June 10th, 1876. We sympa- s thize with the bereaved parents, for n we know they will miss the dear a child; and the sabbath school and Q many friends will miss her, but we Q would say weep not for
 For why should we weep angel spiritn for
 thee,
 We would not lure thee back if we could . 1 Tn he tossed here AgAin .sOn lifels hlllnu '
