The new policy is telling most ia vorably, too, for now the proceeds of the cotton made by our farmers is surplus fund in their hands and their pockets generally have enough greenback in them to enable them to live free from debt and INDEPEND- ENT, as all good farmers should be. We exhort others to follow the plan of our Pope county farmers, and if they don't find that they prosper by so doing we will plead guilty to having given bad advice.

Little Rock as Manufactur.
 ing City.

It is with feeling of pride that we see our Capital City taking steps (altllough not with that speed and degree of activity whicl we should like to witness) toward making one city, at least, in Ark, famous for he.' manufactures. She now has her oil mill, her cotton compress, her cotton warehouses, her foundries, her sash, door and wooden manufacto- ies, her broom factory and perhaps other manufacturing establishments. We are gratiiied to see that cotton ton Factory is now talked of, and that too with some prospect of its speedy establishment. Why not! Why should not city with men of enterprise and energy and capital, such as we have right to suppose Little Rock has, put their brains and money to this, the best and surest use, that it could be ap- piled to, to insure a live city and a prosperous State? Why should not Little Rock spindles and looms fur nish consumption for Arkansas cot ton, and thus save the producer thousands of dollars freight which is annually paid out of their hard earnings to pay transportation on their cotton to other States and other factories? Why should not Little Rock furnish employment in her cotton factories to the many needy men women and girls who now md it hard to eke out d miserable exist ence there? If those prominent men of Little Rock who are now keeping up foment of discord by their persistent dabbling in the tur- bulent cesspool of politics, would turn their attention to the upbuild- ing of manufactures and the eXten- sion of the commercial interests of Little Rock they woul1 be doing much more for themselves, their city and their State. If they wish to be of some actual benefit to their people and their State here is d field for their operation which affords the opportunity.

The Speaking last Thursday.

According to published appoint ment the citizens of Pope county were addressed at this place on last Thursday by Hon. T, NJ. Guntcr, our candidate for Representative in the 45th Congress and Hon. J. b. Walker, candidate for elector at large. There was very respecta- ble turnout of citizens and right we'll were they entertained by most excellent addresses from both gen. tiemen. Notwithstanding Messrs. G. and w. have travelled over q rough country and no doubt taken pretty hard fare, they both appeared fresh and vigorous, and proved themselves fully competent to han dle the business upon which they are engaged. Col. Gunter leading of occupied about an hour and Il quarter in most able review of the situation and a searching exposition of the misrule, corruption, protliga- cy and incompetency of the domi- nant party. His whole speech was drank in by an attentive audience who manifested their approval by frequent applause. He had the fullest degree of faith that 1ilden X Hendricks would be elected, and believed that their inauguration would be the commencement of an era of unprecedented peace and prosperity.
 Hon. J. D. Walker followed the Col. in an able and forcible speech in advocacy of the true Reform can didates-Messrs. Iilden & Hen dricks. He indicted the present ad- ministrat,on for their mal-adminis- tration and subversive use of the trust with which they had been entrusted. His array of facts and figures carried conviction with them. He showed most clearly that no chauge for the better could be expected from mere change Of the iigurc-head in the republican ad- ministration. To. expect reform with the election of Hayes would be like expecting some good result

And can be relied upon as correct.
 OFFICE OF THE DEMOCRAT.
 Thursday Morning, Oct. 26th. Business during the past week has exhibited an improvement which indicates the near approach of the usual fall trade. The weather has been all that could be desired for cotton picking, and all hands are busy in the white fields. Only the adva Ice bales, the proceeds of which are needed to help gather the main crop, have been hauled to town, and the value has been almost entirely demanded in cash, so that really the receipts of cotton thus far have not added materially to the sales Of merchandise.
 Gold remains steady buying at $l.OS, selling at Sl.l0.

BIeMow's LAKE.-Thi has been the ia
vorite resort for skating and sparkling,
the past week. The disasters on Syl-
vester's hill, doubtless, led to a cessa-
ton Of the cold sport of coasting,' -
and milder and safer exercise it was
thought could be found on the CLASSY
surface of the frozen lake. This impress
sion seemed to be verified for a while,
but when gay couple gently glided
through an air-hole, and foundered in
the cold water until pulled out by SYM
pathiziDg friends, the truth of the ad-
age " No rose without thorn" was re-
allied in very practical manner. The
dangers of such wintry sports have not
however, diminished the enthusiasm of
our young people, nor tended in the
least to chill the fiery impetuosity of the
blood Of youth, nor viii it, we suppose,
until the human race is changed very
materially in some of it's essential char
acteristics.

Acc1DENr.-James Ferry, son of
Gov. E. P. Ferry, met with a serious
accident while coasting on Sylvesters
Hill, last Saturday night. 1t appears
that by some inadvertency the sled left
the beaten path and ran against one of
the shade trees which line the Public
Square, throwing James with great force
from it. When taken up he was in
sensible, and bleeding profusely from
q wound on the head. The injuries
sustained are not dangerous, but they
were so severe as to have confined the
young man to his bed ever since the ac-
cident occurred.

JUDGE Nor. The Transcript is never
at loss to find a motive for anything.
1t says we oppose lotteries because we
did not get o contract from the mana
gers for certain printing. The truth or
falsity of such an assumption can best
be determined by the conduct of this
journal the past fifteen years. We have
often been on the unpopular side in
matters of public interest, which every
knows is the least profitable. Tt is,
however, with unfeigned regret we are
compelled to admit that there are small
souled individuals belonging to our
craft who cannot distinguish the diff
ference between the indulgence of petty
spite and the advocacy of great moral
principle. But such cynicism is rare,
and generally observed in those whose
disapointments have soured the dispo-
sition and rendered them more the OBJ
ject of pity than of contempt.
