: MT. John H. Howe, who visited our section of Arkansas last week n the interest of the Spirit of Arkansas, gives an account of his trip in that paper and has this to say of our town:
 Ion our trip down we stopped ct
 KussELLvILLE,
 and here we were agreably sur prised to see the improvements finished and in course of erection, and such business enterprise among her merchants; but how could it be otherwise? The hos pitality of her citizens is prover- bial, and her kindness to strang- CTS may be equaled but not excell- ed. Here we met, among other of her citizens, that prince of good fellows, Capt. J. w. Russell whose father gave name to the town-and we can say that in him the town has . most excellent representative. We al- SO met J. F.. Battenfield and B. F. lobe, of the DEMOCRAT who vied with Capt. Russell in showing us what true Pope county welcome is. Last, but not least, is our friend J. w. Tucker, who keeps the Eagle Hotel, and he is good host and makes his guests feel at home. The merchants report a gesd business. and everything looked healthy, both in people and finance, and they seem san quinc that Russellville will be "the place" between Little Rock and Fort Smith"

Chufas and Japan Peas.

The introduction of these crops throughout the south will enable us to keep our stock and fill our smoke houses as cheaply as it can be done at the West. The Chufa is planted in a ridge like potatoes, yields on common land POO bushels per acre of the richest feed, unequaled for fat tcning hogs, pOultry--and children. One acre will fatten more hogs than ten acres of the best corn, besides furnishing grazing all summer. For the truth of these claims we refer to C. 5. Commissioner of Agriculture, Washington, or to any agricultural paper in the South. Price, by mail postage paid, 2Oc. . package, 4Oc. . pint, 75c. quart by express $4 . peck, $l5 a bushel.
 The Japan Pea fully established It's merits several years ago, and is now in universal demand. It grows upright like cotton stalk, is culti- vated like corn, and yields from l50 to 300 bushels an acre on ordinary land. Stock of all kinds relish 1t and thrive highly on 1t without other feed. Also excellent for table use (after boiling about a week.) Price by mail, postage paid, l5c package, 3Oc pint, 5Oc \ quart. By express, $3 per peck, $l0 per bushel. These seeds are so scarce and costly that we cannot make any discount to wholesale dealers or granges.
 When Southern planters grow their own stock-feed and fatton their own hogs we shall hear no more of hard times and "middle-men" for this will put all end to both. If you fear to invest largely 1t will cost but trifle to try these secds, and unleas your experience differs from all others you will be forever thankful for tue trial. Address,

The following noble lines are from the pen of the gifted poet ess, "Una," (Mrs. Mary A. Ford ) whose life of usefulness and pu. rity was terminated h death at her residence in Brooklyn, on the 18th ultimo. The purity of the sentiment is not surpassed; and the vanity of that kind of human avsrics and intolerance which is displayed in . grovelling, ssissh and avaricious life is no where more beautifully depicted:

The Dover Pic Mic.

DOVER, Ark, May 5th, 1876.
 Editor DEMOCRAT: I see in your last issue that Q little something was said about our sabbath school pic nic. With your per mission l will say something more, beginning where your re- porter left of. After the remarks by the Superintendent, Judge c. Davis made some interesting re- marks about the condition of th,s country 39 years ago and it's pres cnt condition. After these re- marks then all were invited to dinner, and after all had eaten, (snd some ate the second time, ) the baskets were taken up full; not of fragments, but Q large quantity that had not been cut at all. MT. Editor, what . good dinner yea missed, d,-don't fail to come next time, for Dover is fam ous for big dinners.
 Now, MT. Editor, here is some thing I more particularly want to speak about, in order that l may correct . mistake that may have gone out from this place; and l feel it my duty as Superintendent of the school and justice to the young ladies of Dover. After dinner the ladies of Dover went to their homes or to their neigh bors, but q lot of girls from diff fersnt portions Of the county together with lot of men and boys, some drunk and some drinKing, and perhaps some SO Der ones, went to the court house and danced until late in the even ing, and then broke up, some go ing off yelling like heathen. A great time to have a break down after celebrating . sabbath school Gods own institution No sab bath school scholar would do such thing as this if they have had the proper training. Now, l want it understood that the ladies of this place are unaltersbly opposed to all such behavior as this. The young ladies of the Dover Sab bath school think too much of themselves, love religion and

never yet offered the poor encour- agement of their singlc subscription to this paper. Beware of them: if every body was as devoid of public spirit a they. Pope county would De ranked among the places whore there is not intelligence enough to sustain press. Beware of them; they would have the people remain in the dark in order that they may be leaders.
 We learn that few nights ago an ungrateful thief came very near stealing and getting away with . mule belonging to Mir. J. N. Hon- man, some three miles from this place. The thief, who was stran- ger, had stopped at MT. IFS Sunday night and had with him sick horse which he led away with him when he left Monday morning. Monday night the dog was heard to bark about the stable good deal, and finally to make an attack on some thing and pursue 1t across . field. In the morning Mr. Holman dis covered that the uneasiness of his dog had been caused by the attempt Of some one to steal his mule. A rope was found around the mules neck which was identified as the same rope that the stranger had around his sick horses neck. Had it not been for the watchfulness of the dog the thief would have suc- ceeded, no doubt, in gcttiug away with the mule. The fact that the mule was very stubborn about being led by . rope may also have aided in defeating the felonious intentions of the would-bs thief. A dose of blue whistlers administered by . sure shot with good shotgun would be a good thing for such nocturnal visitors.
 -THE PIcNIc.-Notwithstanding the lowering clouds. and the stiff breeze which came in fiurries and threatened to bespatter the earth with rain on last Saturday morning, rendering the prospect of the days sport rather unpropicious, tho little ones were determined not to be cheated out of the days enjoyment. At ten o'clock the procession took up their line of march from the church-house, and were soon on the grounds. The place selected was the delightful grove in front of the college building. After a couple of songs by the school, Nr. Robt. B. Wilson addressed the assembly in few appropriate remarks, which, although entirely extemporaneous, were full of good ideas and sound advice to the young. After the ad- dress came another song, and then the amusements of the day-such as swinging, jumping the rope, prom enading, and dinner. Among the visitors we noticed several of the citizens and ladies of Dover, among the number MT. Jno. J. Rye, s. R. Parker, II. Clabe Howell, D. P. West, and perhaps others.
 Everybody seemed to enjoy them selves, and the day passed Off with out occurrence to mar the pleasant- ness of the occasion.
 P. S.-After our reporter left the grounds, and just before the dis persing of the crowd, we under stand, our young friend, MT. James Potts, was called on for . speech, and in response delivered one of his usual happy talks which was well received.
