A Card to the Public.

For many years we have made two medicines sttitea to the ailments of d vast class of sufferers. fhous- ands of cures h,ve been made by by them, and, in fact, the word fail ure could not be coupled with thea. But within the last two years coun- terfeits oI our medicine have sprrng up, dangerous m their close imita- ton of our Trade Marx. To secure ihe people we have placed upon each genuine box o Holluway's Ointment the fac sllnile of the sig- nature of our agent, Mir. Jos. Hay dock. To counterfeit Is felony. We shall relentless!y pursue any one who initiates tiils with the utmost vigor of the law. We most earnest ly beg that the great mass of the American people will ai as in our tffJrts to protect their health, and help us in our task of bringing these most unprincipled men to the bar of justice. Uniformly refuse to purchase Medicines purporting to be ours unless Mir. Jos. Haydock's signature is attaened to each box Of Pills or pot or Ointment and the end will soon be reached.

Township Election.

The election for township officers for Holly Bend township will take place on the Both of this month. Two Justices of the Peace and one Constable will be to elect. We learn that Mir. F. C. Falls and Mr. W. W. Walraven are named as prominent candidates for Justices. Both are good men and worthy of the posi- tions. MT II. l.. Shinn is, we un- derstand, spoken of as candidate for constable.
 On the same day there will be elected three school directors for the district composed of this new tow nship. This isa matter of much importance, and the voters should he certain 10 select good, conipe- tent, live men for directors, and they should be men who will take an interest in the cause of popular education.
 Holly Bend is one of tine best townships m the county and her citizens should sec to it that she takes an advanced stand in educa- tional matters.

Convict Inquests.

Since the introductian of con vict labor at the coal mines in oar county, it has cost the tax payers of Pope about one hundred and fifty dollars inquest expenses. Against this imposition we enter a protest in behalf of our tax. burdened people. We think it shameful aud outrageous enough to have the employment which the mining of our coal would af- ford to honest laborers, taken away from them by convict la
 bor. If th here were thousard of these conkicts at work lere it would not benefit us one cent. for they draw ho wages, pay out no money. add nothing to the wealth and prosp rity of the county, and are, in fact, only a means of keep ing free, honest labor out of em- ployment.

 To the editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 At the commencement of nnotIl CT } ear 1t may De interesting ana even profitable to take vlew oi' some of the leading events of the past year.
 As Agriculture is the founda- tim of tiie National welfare, 1t deserves the first consideration. Though unproyidcd with statistl- cal returns, yet enough may bc known to enable general view oi the results of the llusbandman' $ labors to be made. The grain crops have on the whole yielded well. at least equal to, if not ex- cecding that of the preceding years, while, owing to all unusu- suaily fine and dry summer, the quality, particularly. of wheat, has exceeded that of the general aver age of seasons. Owing to some what short crops in Europe. the wheat growers of America have been enabled to find better mar kct for their crops than they did in the previous year. It is grati- fylng to note that wheat raising has been greatly increased in .he Southern States, particularly in the great state of Arkansas, winch is rapidly becoming one of the greatest wheat growing states of the union. It is further pleas ant to note that ii the matter of grain producing for home con sum tiun, if not for the general markets, - tlic Southern States are becoming supporting. not on, |, for their wheat, corn and oats. but also for their hay. This is sound policy for many reasons, and will donbtiassly be extended with much profit to Southern planters.
 A trade as yet but small, has during the past year, been opened between New York and other At iantic seaporis and England in the shipment of fresh beet, corned beef hnd even live cattle. It will be well if t.:is should prove pruiitan nle adventure, as America. from her great cattle and sheep pastures, IS well able to supply the deman,ls of the meat consum- CTS of England, which the British farmers Is unable tn overtake. This matter should he closely watched by solthern farmers, as they possess facilities for stock raising unequailed ny those of their brethren north of Masons and DiXons line. The raising of stock for European. markets may become ore of the great measures for developing the won dcrful agricultural resources oi the fertile la..ds ot the south. and to the rapid occupancy of her vast extent of presently waste country.

Too Much La w.

The best posted men the State hardly know now what the law is, so numerous and complicated are the statutes Of Arkansas; but the present legislature, judging fro n the number of new bills beng iii- troduced, and from the cutting and slashing away at Gantts Digest, are determined, it would seem, to make the present confusion even worse confounled.
 A persoi. would suppose that the present legislature Imagine they have been called to make laws enough to do until the next Centen- nial. Our apinion is that we have too much law and too little enforcement already. At the pres ent rate, unless the laws are digest ed again soon nobody will know head or tail, beginning or ending.

The statu quo remains finn and undisturhed, while each day adds to the strength of the legal gov ernnent and augnents the insig nitieance and contemptibleness of the Packardites.
 Since the legal state govern, ment, headed by Nichols, came into power, State bonds ..have ad. vsnced eight cents. |. speedy dissolution is not in store and near at hand for the Packard sham, we are very much mistaken in the signs of the times.

THE RUssELLvILLE DEMOCRAT. THURSDAY. JANUARY

Illinois Bayou, last Saturday. Mir. T. was on his way to this place, and had $9S5 in currency about his person, all of which was taken from him. The rob bers, two in number, were blacked and disguised SD that Mir. T. could rot identify them. If these highwaymen can be caught and identified the virtue of good strong piece ot' hemp should be tried on them.
 -ScorrvILLE ScHooL.--We are always glad to record anything fa- vorable to the cause of education, and therefore are please to know that the citizens of Seottville are becoming sufficiently interested in the matter to take steps to secure q good school at their little town. Mir. T. F. Mccain has met with suf- ficient encouragement to open a school at that place, and if the citi- zens will do their luty he intends making it a permanent institution. There is no higher obligation rest ing upon the citizens of each and every community than to look well to the education of their children, and we trust the zeal which the good people of Scottville are mani festing ill the matter will be no short-lived spell, but that it may never lag or abate until their school is made famous and their town not ed for its fine school.
 Mir. Mccain should receive the earnest encouragementa and cooper ation of every parent and citizen in Liberty, and if he gets it, we doubt not but that he will conduct a school which will do credit to the coininu- nifty.
 A first class school will always give more tone, and glin better reputation for town than almost anything else, aud we will be glad to hear of the complete success of the Seottville school.

 They are situated eight miles northeast of Russel,vilie, Pope county; these Springs possess cu- rative properties for dyspepsia, diseased hver, spleen and kidne, s, ,hills and fever, and all kindred diseases which have their origin from long contact with malarious atmosphere; these springs are surrounded by very productive upland country; l think It is the healthiest part of Ark; in about one halr mlle of the geographical centre or Pope county.

Very Useful to Every One.

In no other way can u person get back SD large profit for a very little money, as to expcnd 1t it ill learning what to do, when to do it, and how to do it--in other words, to have his brains help his hands. Here Is one way to do this: The small saving or ex- tra production of less than half a cent day, or 5 cents week, will now procure large, beanti- iul, cheap Journal, for all of 1871. spiendidly illustrated, with over 500 fine original engfavings, and over thousand coiumrs Of the very best, plain, practical, trust worthy information about the every day indoor and outdoor work and comfort of every home, in the country, village, and city. This information is not prepared by mere scribblers, but by large force of intelligent working men and women, wno know what they write about, and they are assisted by many others. who furnish in
 t rmation from their own practice and observation. Such a Jour
 nal is the American Agricultur alist, SD named because started 50 years ago as q rural journal, but since greatly enlarged and i'm
 proved to suit the daily wants of every man, woman, and cl,ii.l in city. country, and village flor the farmer and gardener, the mer chant and mechanic, the protes sional man-indeed. all classes. It is packed full of useful infor- nation that every one ought to have. Many single hints and suggestions will repay more than q whole years cost of the paper. Its original engraved plans for buildings and Improvements, with details of cot, etc, and common sense directions, are worth far more than majority of the cost ly works on architecture. Great care is exercised to have every line Tn the paper reliable. Its constant, persistent, and full ex posture of d multitude of humbugs and s.indles, are alone worth far more than It's cost, and have say ed to its readers and to the coun try millions of dollars that wonlu have gone into the hands oi sharpers The departments for Housekeepers ana Children are very useful and entertaining. In short, the American Agliculturist is full of good things, and ought to be in every house in the land.
