 We have an article from s. H. on the School Exhibition which we find it impossible to publish this week, but as it will keep, we will use it next week. One or two other communications have also been necessarily laid over.
 We have received the first num- Der of new paper published at Evening Shade, Sharp county, by J. W. Buckley, editor. Its title is the Sharp County Record. Good luck and long life to your paper Bro. Buckley. We put you on our X list as requested.

 The closing exhibition given by Prof Patrick's school is spoken of by all who attended in very con- pimentary terms. The house was crowded to it's fullest capacity and not even standing room could be found by many who went, but had to remain outside of the house. We had intended to notice the pro gramme enacted at greater length, but being among the number who had to remain outside we are unable to give the points. From the high terms in which all speak of the affair we are satisfied the pupils did credit to both them 'elves aud their teacher.
 -"G. W. O."-Some friend who signs himself ''G. w. O." has sent us communication from Scottville, which is wholly unobjectionable and which we would take pleasure in publishing if the writer had sent his name. We hope our friends will see the propriety of our strict observance of this rule and not } thlnk hard of us for not making ex- , captions. If we receive one anony- nous communication we must re- | ceive all. Therefore we are com pelled to decline all contributions f which are not accompanied by the writers own name. The name need not be signed to the article but must accompany it.
 
 than twenty years litigation has been going on at intervals between different parties in regard to ferry rights and privileges at old Norris town and at Dartlanelle, on the Ar kansas river. The latest case is an application for temporary injunc- tion to Judge F. Thach, Co. Judge of this county, upon complaint in Equity, filed by Joseph Evins and J. l.. Shinn vs. Jos. Goodman and Geo. } Stirman, of Dardanellc, in the Cir cult Court of Pope County. The ap- plication was heard in Russellville last Friday and Saturday, and the temporary injunction granted, res training said Goodman and Stlrman, from running their ferry until fur thur orders of the Circuit Judge or court W. C. Ford, of Russellville, and Judge Wm. N. May, of Darda nelle, were counsel for plaintiffs, and Col. Joshua Toomer, of Darda- nelle, for the defendants.
 --IMPoRTANT.-School Directors will find a notice in this days paper whichis of great importance to them, and not only to them but to the whole people. The reports called for are indispensable; for without them 1t is simply impossible for the County Court to make just and proper apportionment of the School fund. Judge Thach informs us thaS reports tor the past year have been filed by only three School Districts in the county. Those Directors who have failed to file reports are guilty of criminal neglect, for which they are amenable to the law. The law, we believe, makes them liable for all damages their respective districts , may sustain on account of their fail ure to file proper reports, and the first thing some of these delinquent Directors know they will find them selves in for damages. How do School Directors expect the County Court to apportion any money to their districts when they withhold the only information on which said apportionment can be made? If Di-
