Our Town.

In order to answer many inquir- ies, which we are receiving almost every day in regard to our town, at one time, we will give few notes in regard to the place.
 RUssELLvILLE is a town of about 800 inhabitants. Our county is PoPE (not Polk, as some of our r. quirers have it.) This town is not the county seat-Dover a smaller town, ten miles north of this place, enjoying that distinction. Oui town is located immediately upon the line of the l.. R. & r. $. Ry., and is three miles from the Arkan. sas River. The country surround. ing Is of good average farming quality and is we'll timbered. Pop. ulation of the county about 10, ,OOO
 There is no difficulty in all new corners securing good cheap homes
 Town lots are sold at from $lO t, $50. Lumber is worth $l2.50 pei thousand, brick $S, shingles $5 We have stone coal all around us and it is supplied at $3.50 to $4 pc
 ton. Wood is sold at Sl 50 per cord Water is good-wclls about 20 to 8
 feet deep. Health as good as an, country. We have three churche

trustworthy. For instance Gen
 Hampton admits in the dispatch
 to the Herald that Mr. Tilden has run behind the State ticket, which
 was natural, and admits with eyi. dent regret that he has run a good deal behind. The body of New Orleans merchants also speak spc- officially, but moderately, and in deed, to day at least, the Demo crats who communicate with the north by telegraph have a more moderate, a ealmer tone than the republicans, who seem to be getting more and more excited. We recommend both sides to be calm. Loud talking and boasting will not help them. Both parties here in the north are inoxorably determined to sec justice done in all three of the states-on that democrats and republicans down there may as well rely. If the republicans have really carried them they will have them count ed on the Hayes side as sure as the sun rises. If the democrats have earned them they will be counted on that side with equal certainty. And woe to the dema- gogues and scoundrels on either side who shall be caught attempt ing to cheat. A sufficient number of impartial, eminent and respect ed citizens have gone to New Or leans and will go to South Caroli- na and Florida to examine into the disputes there and make a declaration to the nation which will satisfy both parties.

build church soon. There is al>
 ways good private select school
 and a free public school kept ill
 operation.
 There are ten dealers in general
 merchandise, two dealers in drugs,
 two dealers in groceries and family
 supplies, one dealer in stoves and
 hardware, one dealer in liquors and
 wines, one dealer in confectionery, two wagon makers and blacksmiths, one steam houring-mill, one wool carding machine, two cotton gins, one saddle aud harness maker, one tin shop, one gun smith, four build- CTS and contractors. one cabinet maker, one livery stable, one butch CT. shop, two hotels, one printing office, five lawyers, five doctors, one dentist, one boot shop, one barber shop, four preachers. Dwelling houses rent from $4 to $l5 per month. Board from $lO to $l5 per month. At present there are but 3 or ya- cant dw, Hing houses in town for rent, and only one or two business houses.
 We want some live man or conn pany to go into the lanyard busi- ness. There is money to be made at it. We want also some one with capital enough to build and carry on good hotel. Our town will be splendid place for some one to make good business out of this. A company with capital and energy would be offered some inducements to locate a cotton factory here, and there is no better location anywhere for one. X bank is needed badly and the man or company who first goes ut it will do fine business. A woolen mill would do well and the business would grow and prosper. We want good, honest, industrious citizens of all kinds. Especially farmers who want good farms near a good town cheap. We cale not where they come from-would pre- fer them from the North, because we know they would be pleased with our delightful climate, fine soil and hospitable people; and be- cause we know the Yankee farmer is a live, industrious, thriving far mer. We don't care a cent about a politics if he is good industrious man. Come and see our town and county.

That $16O.OOO Suit Decidea.

That *16O,OOO Suit Decided Little Rock Daily Heraid.l
 The United States gets $2,OOO On Saturday morning last, tn. much talked of suit against tn, Merchants National Bank, ir which the United States at the inst;gation of one J. l.. Hodges brought suit to recover tax o1 $l60,0O0, claimed to be due as ten per cent. on $I, 500, ,00O, notes of the City of Little Rock, alleged to have been paid out by the bank, was decided, the jury find ing that the bank had paid out $20,000 of such notes, and finding a verdict for $2,00O.
 The case, as our readers are aware, has occupied the attention of the court for more than week. Over two hundred witnesses hay ing been summoned on the part of the government.
 It is we'll understood in this community, that no fraud on the revenue was ever intended by the bank, as they were advised by the collector of internal revenue here, acting under instructions from the Commissioner at Wash ington, that no liability to said tax could occur for dealing in the aforesaid notes. This the bank was prepared to prove by the col lector himself, but were not per mitted to do so; the Court hold ing that such evidence was not material in the ease.
 The sympathy of our entire community has been with the bank from the commencement of malicious prosecution and all con- graduate the bank as we'll as our citizens generally, that the bank has incurred no serious loss in their efforts to accommodate the business community, and that the usefulness of the bank for the future as in the past is in no way impaired through either the mal- ice or greed of it's enemies. The Merchants National Bank is the largest banking establishment in the State. It's management is prudent, but liberal, and it has done more than any other corpo- ration to encourage commercial growth and enterprises. A knowledge of it's course in this respect, increases the satisfaction of the public in the result of a trial which may now be pronounce ed not only harmless but a fail ure.

THE RUssELLvILLE DEMOCRAT, THURSDAY, 1876.

The chief of the Cherokee Ma tion, in his message on the rail- road subject genally, Is rather non coEmittal; however, on the subject of the mile and half. of the L. R. G F. s. road that runs in the Nation near this place, he speaks out and urges resistance to all cncroachments on their na- tional rights. None object to this position, yet we are satisfied that the Cherokee Council, when properly informed, and when sat- isfied that no harm, but great good must come from the road, will interpose no obstacle, but that that body will, as it should do, grant such right of way as will be proper in the premises. The Cherokees don't want to move backward. Onward, is the word. -Ft. Smith Herald.

Something to Look After.


 HOLLY BEND, Nov. 18th, 1876. To the editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 A word seems to be in demand at this time though it may not be in order.
 l am persuaded to think the habits of this neighborbood must be on a change judging from the number of men who are SC .n passing around these days loaded down with corn juice.
 Now some of these fellows pass ing around with half foot, more or less, of a bottle neck swinging out of their pockets and using language in front of houses not to be found in Websters Diction- ary, seem to be minors.
 /. It may be the best to keep up drinking shops Tn the country, for good reasons (so called) too numerous to mention, but I am not able to see the point unless it is in preparing the young for a home in his Satanic Majesty's Kingdom.
 Mir. Editor I have got of the subject. What l was going to say, is there no healing salve to apply to those who deal out whis- key to minors? Section 1909 of of Gantt's Digest reads thus: "If any person shall sell to or buy for any minor intoxicating spirits of any kind, without the consent or order, in writing, of the parent or guardian of such minor, he shall upon conviction thereof, be fined in any sum not less than twenty nor more than one hun dred dollars" Will this mild hint have the desiree effect, or not? Time will tell. Read and inwardly digest.
 The farmers are trying to gath CT the remainder of their crops as rapidly as possible.
 The fall has been very favora- ble and the most of the cotton has been gathered, though there are some corn and cotton in the field yet. l heard one farmer in this township say at the election if his corn to gather, would turn out as we'll as what had been gathered, he had 2,50O bushels in the field yet.
 Mir. Aif. Wick is having a new frame house put up in the bottom. His old one came very near going in the river the last rise.
 Our neighbor Holland across the branch in Yell county, started a new steam gin some two weeks ago. Judging from the sound of the whistle, they mean business,
 Mir. Gibson has reft up agaln and been running some time He moved the engine a short dis tance and is now running in the old Masonic building. Mir, Gib- son is q go ahead man. Yours truly, F.

One of the most wonderful cities in the world is Bankok, the capitol of Siam. On either side of the wide, majestic stream, moored in regular streets and allies, ex- tending as far as the eye can reach, are upward of 10000 neat little houses. each one floating on a compact raft of bamboos; and the whole intermediate space of the river is one dense mass of ships, junks and boats of every conceivable shape, color and size.
 Says the New Orleans Demo crat of the 2lst inst:
 "Protests and alfidavits are pouring in daily from all parts of the country to the democratic committee on election. These are principally signed by negroes, who testify that they are demo cratic, always have been demo cratic, and voted the democratic ticket in spite of intimidation, ill., treatment, and often beatings.
 The Virginia conference of the M. k. chulch, south, unanimously approved the results of the meet ing between the commissioners of the two churches at Cape May last August, and regard the action Of the commissioners as authora- tive and final settlement of the question in issue, and binding up- on all ministers and membcrs of the two churehee.

Are You Doing Your Duty?

As the season of the year is now at hand when our people will all have money on hands, we must re- mind them that there Is a small in- vestment which we advise every man in the county to make at once and that is to subscribe for the Rus sellville DEMOCRAT. We give this advice and urge our citizens to ac- cept it and act upon it, not simply because we are interested in the success of this paper, but because we believe it is the very best invest ment that can be made with that small sum of money. The benefits you will derive will be both direct and indirect. You will be almost certain to lose more than the paper costs if you do not read it, for there arc notices and warnings and orders in almost every number of the paper which involve mary dollars and cents to somebody. If you have a family of boys and girls the paper will be of great benefit to them, for they will read it when they will not read books and they will ob- tain Knowledge and information from it which they can obtain from no book.
 The indirect good that the paper Is doirg you is far greater than you can estimate. There is no other power or influence in your county which is doing so much for the country. Our paper is attracting more attention to Pope county than sll things else combined. There is not mail arrives at our office, scarcely, but what brings letters and postal cards enquiring for spec linen copies of the DEMOCRAT. These inquiries come from farmers, mechanics, laboring men and capit- alists in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Nebraska, who wish to come to a milder cli- mate. They have their eye on Ar kansas, and in order to judge of the country, the people and the pros- poets, they send for the newspaper whi ,h they always regard as a good index. We always mail papers to these parties, and we believe thro' this means many industrious, ener- getic citizens will be induced to seek homes in Pope county. Now If you want your county to grow in intelligence, in population and in wealth you can do nothing to secure this end so effectually and rapidly as to sustain and send out from your county a creditable paper. We try to make the DEMOCRAT such, and from the replies which we re- ceiye from parties to whom we send the paper, many expressing not only qualification, but even agreea- ble surprise, that such a creditable paper should come from the rural districts of Arkansas, we are fiatter- ed te believe that some degree of success is crowning our efforts, and that good will follow. We there fore submit it to you if you should not give our paper your generous support. Every man should talk. at least one copy for his own family, and there are many who are able to do so, who should subscribe for a number of copies to send abl oad. If you will pay the subscription we will send them where they will do good. Send in your subscriptions, gentlemen. Come up squarely to your duty.
