Almost II Blaze.

Night before last two ladies occupied
room in the Granger house. On re.
firing they hung their clothes near
the stovepipe, early the next morning
Il fire was built in the stove down
stairs, and the pipe in their room got
so hot that it set fire to their clothing.
For time there was great confusion,
and the danger OF blaze was quite
imminent. 1t was put out however,
without an alarm being sounded. The
clothing and the bed clothes were
burned, and the room somewhat
damaged. Persons should be careful
about stovepipes running through
rooms, and see nothing is against
them.

Some of the papers in the southern
portion Of the State are tickling a
laugh out of themselves because Dallas
has her carnival or, as it is called,
Mardi Gras in April, and one funny
man thinks he has settled the business
by remarking that Dallas will have
Christmas on the fourth of July. Well,
what OF it? Dallas is that sort of a
town, that If she wanted st. Patrlck's
day to come every Sunday she would
have 1t. Dallas is city; Dallas is
progressive; Dallas discards the old
fogy idea that Christmas must come
on the 25lh of December, and if it suits
her convenience will change it to the
LIST of April. Dallas proposes to have
her Mardi Gras carnival on the 4th of
April, and If you don't think she can
do it, come up, see and be convinced.
That's the kind Of n F" blue glass demi-

charged with an attempt to burglarize

motion to continue was overruled by
his honor. The case will probably
come up Monday.
In relation to this case The HERALD
reporter has received the following in

tive, who lives In Chicago. There IL
no way to get him here, unless he sees
fit to come. He is willing to come on

ceived the assurance that the banks Of
the city would produce him when
needed, and he notified them the exact
day when the case would come up He
Is not here, and the county attorney
thinks that If he IL forced to trial
without him, the case is bound to be
dismissed. The banks had agreed to
furnish the money; but three Of them
have signed an agreement to do 30, the
others so far have not. In overruling
the continuance Judge Burford is gov
erned by the fact that ii is not right to
keep men in the Jail at the expense of
the county, waiting for witness that
is not likely to be forthcoming, but at
the same time he positively stated that
the county attorney had left no stone
unturned to get 1t continued and to
bring the witness here. This Ia the
status quo of the matter, as it has been

OBITUARY.

Died, at his residence in Dover, Ark on the 9th day of August, 1877, MT. $. F. PARKER, in the 52d year of his age. Mir. Parker was consistent member of the Cumberland Presbyterian church. His piety was very uniform and flowed in . gentle stream around his pathway in life, imparting meek ness, temperance, kindness, content ment and peace.
 He had served as an official of his county for many years, always giving entire satisfaction, and at his death was Treasurer of his county.
 He leaves sorrowing wife to mourn his loss; but she mourns not as those who have no hope, for she has the pleasing reflection that her loss is his eternal gain, and that ere long they can meet where sorrow and death will never come.
 "For why should I mourn for the dear
 ones,
 That left me alone on life's sea; For my work is nigh done, and up yon-
 der,
 l know tbat they are waiting for me.

THE RIGHT WAY.

The surest way for man to strike for his rights is to strike for piece of land. There are millions of acres of land yet in this country unim- proved, and if every unemployed man would go to work in earnest, it would not be many years before he would have a comfortable home, and could laugh at capitalists and mon- eyed corporations. Of course there would De difficulties in the way of the accomplishment of this. But what is there that is worth any thing that does not cost time, trouble and hard labor. When the haven is reached we can say "well done good and faithful servant" enter in and enjoy thy possessiens.-St. Louis Midland Farmer.
 There is naught but the plain, unvarnished truth in the above, There is no one who is so sure of a living, so independent, and so free from mental anxiety as the indus trious, prudent owner of nice little farm ;-and any one who owns land at all, may have a nice little farm if he will only try.
 So we say strike for piece of land, and if you want to know where to strike for it, we say come to Arkansas; take the Ft. Smith railroad and come up seventy i've miles west of Little Rock to Pope county. You will then be right in the heart of the best portion of the State, where you can get either rich river lands or fine creek and table lands. You can here find thousands of acres which can be bought cheap. And if you want lands on time, the L. R. & F. $. By, will sell them to you, for they have pany thousands of acres for sale, at from $2 to $7 per acre. And then you will not be going beyond the bounds of civil ized and refined life either, for here we have about the same kind of society that is to be found in Illi- nois, Indiana and Missouri. We have Churches, Schools, Oranges, Masons, Odd Fellows, &c., 6c. Come to Pope county and strike for a piece of good land,
