Hold yourselves in readiness to rally every Democrat to the polls on the 7th of November. The frost last Monyay morning looked like slight snowfall, and the leaves fell thick and fast during the day.
 Read both inside and outside of the DEMOCRAT. Some excellent items may be found on the inside of to-day's paper.
 Miss Sallie McCleary, one of our accomplished Misses who has had flourishirg school in Logan county returned home last week.
 What a shame it is that in a good fruit country like this, there is not an abundance of that most deli cious and healthy of all fruit-the apple.
 We are pleased to learn that the High School of Prof. Patrick, which has now been open two weeks, Is filling up rapidly and promises to be a decided success.
 Have you chills or fever? If so Days Ague Tonic, for sale at J. M. Harkey & Bros will cure you, It is better and cheaper than quinine, and makes permanent cure. Try it. A sweet potato eighteen inches long from the patch of Hon. l.. w. Davis is the latest trophy of pro- ductive Arkansas soil which has found it's way to our specimen table. We notice Dr. Fruit is building an addition to his residence, and this naturally leads us to suspicion - but we may be wrong and there fore wont say anything about it.
 Don't be uneasy about your big crop of corn. Take good care of every ear of it. You will find use and demand for it all so don't allow grain to go to waste.
 MT. John Fowler, one of our town boys who has been ill Califor- mia some time, arrived home Mon day, looking robust, hearty and much of a man.
 The time on the l.. R. & F. $. Road was changed Monday. There is now a passenger and a freight train-freight every other day. The passenger trains pass at this place at noon, each taking dinner here.
 Ohio may be democratic and ln- diana republican, and Peter Cooper may be elected President, but there is nothing as certain in politics as there is that you will get your mon ey's worth by trading with J. l.. Shinn.
 Tomorrow (Friday) night, the third quarterly meeting for the cur rent year, of the Russellville Print ing and Publishing Association will be held at the company's office. A full attendence is desired.
 An offender who was confined in the calaboose at Walnut Ridge a few days ago, attempted to burn his way out by setting fire to the prison, and before assistence could arrive he was handsomely cremated and there is one less tramp in existence. We notice that the freight room of the depot here is kept jammed and crowded so full all the time as to make it very unhandy to get at freights as they are wanted. Our Agent here should have more room. At the colt show last Saturday. lnt prtuiiuih "aS a"'Hutu uo d nv months-old colt belonging to MT. Winter Ewing-and fine colt it was, too.
 The Lewisburg State comes out squarely for Stewart. Strange that man of that editors discern- ment and honesty should allow tho wool to be pulled over his eyes il this way.
 Little girls and boys had better commence trying to see how gooC they cad be, for Santa Claus vii soon begin to make up his list O good children to whom he will brin, gifts.
