Lemons Said 90 Have cured Cases o
kConsumptton.

A correspondent &C an English medical
journal furnishes the follow ing recipe
- cure for consumption: Put a dozen
whole lemons in cold water and boil un-
til sof. (not too son. roll and squeeze
until the juice is all extracted, sweete1
the juice enough to be palar4ble, then
drink. Use as many as a dozen a day.
ShoLld they cause pain or loosenes ofthe
bowels, lessen the gu 4ntity, and use five
or six day until better. then begin and
use dozen again.
BY the time you have used five or six
dozen you will begin to gain strergthand
have an appetite. OF course as you get
better you need not use so many. Follow
these directions. and we know you will
never regret it if there is any help for YOU.
Only keep it up faithfully. We know OF
two cases where both patients were Civ
en- up by the physicians, and were in the
last stages Of consumption. yet both were
cured by using lemoDs according tn the
directions We have stated.
One lady in particular was bedridden
and very low, had tried everything that
money could procure, but all in vain.
When. to please friend. she was finally
persuaded 70 use the lemons. She began
TO use them in February and in April
she weighed l4o pounds. She Is a we'll
woman to-day and likely to live as long
as any Of US.

A New Idea About Fences.

In an exchange we have the suggestion that cheap fences can be made in this way: Dig two ditches two feet apart, three feet wide and two feet deep; throw the dirt from the dltches on the space between, beat it down till It has some hardness, and give it slant to prevent caving and you have fence for a lifetime. Then plant blackberries Oh the embank ment, and when set with the briers. no animal will animal will attempt to cross two dltches and a hedge; and then just to think of the fine berries the children will gather. It is not half so big a job as many think to dig a small ditch, and as to the black berries, they will come of them selves" We are pleased with the idea, and hope somebody will try it in a small way, for it will certainly drain the land and fur nish the berries. No doubt about that.-Grange,

THE POPE AND JOHNSON
 COUNTY LINE.
What a Clear HeaOed Citizen
 Thinks.

BIG PINEY, HICKEY TowNsssHIP,)
 PoPE Co, ARSss., Jan. 20, '77.} To the eEditor of the DEMOCRAT:
 rs~i i don't think l ever saw a com munication in print from any cit izen of Big Piney, therefore, l thought l would try my old blunt pen on few scrawls. I see Tn your paper of the llth inst, that w. T. Brown ana others propose applying to the legislature to de fine the county line between Pope and Johnson counties. It looks Il little like the gentlemen give the definition themselves; but l don't'think they are well enough acquainted with the geography of the country to run the line all the way through. l am willing they should run through their own township, and then have some body else assist them the balance of 5he hne, for the route they propose jams me up against the wall too close. That line they propose would spoil my township and school district. I think 8 or 4 commissioners from near the line from each county would give general satisfaction to all interested on the linc,-i. c., their survey.
 1 am satisfied that the House Representatives from both coun- tics would confirm the wishes of the people along the line, as they are all that I consider much in. terested; the old hne is as good as l want, if the people wish a straight line, l propose one mile east of the lne between range Fl and P. 1 will bet big fat hall dollar if the Legislature will ap- point a man from each township along the line from both counties that they will define a line satis factory to both counties and go off amicably. Gentlemen w. T. Brown and others conre to sec me, 1 still hold you kindly in my embrace as brother pine knot burners. Let nc hear from you

State Grange.

The State Grange of Arkansas met at the hall of Little Rock Grange No. 13, on the 22d inst, with all the officers present but the worthy treasurer and gate keeper. The attendance was not as large as last year, owing to the fact that the representation had been reduced to avoid expen- ses. A misunderstanding about the day of meeting, the miserable condition of the roads, and the scarcity of money aided somewhat in preventing some worthy and earnest brothers from being pres ent. Nevertheless, we have had harmonious and useful meeting, every delegate being in earnest, and doing all in his power for the good of the Order"
 The election of officers of the State Grange for the ensuing term came off Thursday. Before the ballott was commenced Wor- thy Master Jones informed the Grange, as he had declared before, that he could no longer serve in this office. Several members rose and expressed their regrets. The election was then proceeded with and resulted in the choice of:
 5. P. Hughes Worthy Master; N. B. Pearce Overseer; R. E. Johnson Lecturer; c. E. Tobey Stewart; D. k. Byrd Assistant Stewart; J. NJ. Steele Chaplaine; :; R. c. Wall Treasurer; J. $. Will jams Secretary; J. P. Fandren Gate Keeper; Mrs. N. B. Pearce Ceres; Mrs. R. c. Wall Pomona; Mrs. J. 5. Williams Flora; Mrs. R. E. Johnson Lady Assistant Stewart.
 At 12 o'clock yesterday the master elect was installed by Worthy Master Jones. who, on resigning his chair to his success sor, congratulated the Grange and the Order in the state, that this responsible and arduous DO sition had fallen upon one of 80 able, so earnest and of such ripe judgment and experience in the work. Master Hughes expressed his appreciation of the high honor conferred upon him, and said he accepted the position with dis trust of his ability to meet its requirements, increased by the fact that he succeeded one of snch acknowledged ability, who had devoted his time and his tai ents for years to this great cause so acceptably throughout the land.
 Next weeks State Grange will contain full reports of the pro- ccedings of the session.-Statc Grange.

Southern Finances.

From the Gazette.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 25. A meet ing called by n large number ol 1 prominent bankers, merchants and other citizens, was held at the clearinghouse to-day to give l support to the movement for ar l ranging settlement between oe- faulfing southern states and their creditors, Wm. Cullen Bryant presided. Resolutions, which were read by Mir. Henry c. Steb- bins, and unanimously adopted, declare that, ..As citlzens of New York we deplore the existing state of things in the defaultirg g states Of the south, and we desire to give. an expression of our sym pathy with the people of those states in their unhappy condition. We recognize the ansurmounta- ble obstacles in the way of the honorable discharge by them in full of all their legal obligations, and perceive that some method of compromise and re adjustment IS absolutely necessary. Anxious to promote such settlement upon equitable terms, we recommend the intervention of a committe of disinterested arbitrators between the states and their oondholders, as offering q method fair and honorable alike to the debtor and to the creditor"
 The arbitrato9s chosen are five bank officers: George 5. Coe, J. D. Yermelye, B. B. Sherman, B, B. Comegy and Enoch Pratt, and these have power to add to this number.
 Messrs. George s. Coe, J. D. Vermilyc and B. B. Sherman are well known as the presidents of the American Exchange bank, Merchants National bank and Mechanics National bank. B. B. Comegys is president of the First National bank of Baltimore. Mir. Vermilye sad the committee would labor faithfully to dis charge the duties assigned them.
 This movement is commended to the earnest consideration Of the authorities of every default ing state, and they are invited to signify to the committee their de sireto confer on the important sub ject. The speakers at the meet ing included Geo. Opdyke, John A. Stewart, T. s. Winstine, presi dent Mutual Life Insurance com pany, Cyrus w. Field, Edward w. Atkinson, and other we'll known financiers.
 The bondholders of the state of Arkansas to-day agreed to ap- polnt a committee to carefully examine the financial condition and resources of that state, and to make such proposals to the government for a fair and equita- ble adjustment of it's debt, by compromise if nee essary as will enable the state in future to pay interest semi annu- ally.

A Change of Base.

There are already indications of change in political tactics in the South which has long been anticipated by close observers of public affairs. There is dispo sition shown on the part of some of the the Republican leaders to advocate the abolition of negro suffrage when it becomes appar- ent that the co.ored vote can no longer be controlled by them selves.
 In recent number of the New Orleans Republican the proposi- : tion was distinctly stated, that if the Republican party should, from any cause, be brought to believe that the representation of the colored people can no long CT be directed by them in the manner that their hearts and con sciences would dictate'-mean- ing, if they should refuse to vote en masse according to the orders of their self. f.constituted leaders, then the very object of granting that representation would be best promoted by suppressing power captured and turned against it's defenders. To this the Picayuue replies that, though the Demo cratic party opposed universal suffrage ten years ago, because the emancipated slaves were not prepared for it, yet that party has never countenanced the disfran. chisement of citizens already pos sessing the suffrage, and is not likely to countenance it now. Thus we see leading Republican newspa per in Louisiana suggest ing that it may be necessary to deprive the colored citizen of his right to vote, and a still more prominent Conservative journal declaring that the Democrats will not accede to such change.
 That the extension of the right of suffrage to the African race would ultimately increase the political strength of the South, might have been forcseen by ev- cry one who is acquainted with the conditions governing society in the reconstructed States. The whites, constituting the superior class in wealth, intelligence, and education, are certain to gain al Tascendency over the negroes, soon. CT or later, sufficient to influence very largely the exercise of theil voting power. This ascendency would have manifested itself long ago had it not been for the false hoods industriously circulated among the freedmen, such as tht assertion that they would be en shaved anew if the Democrats should regain power. By sucf means, by the efforts of ambition. negro office seekers, and by ths support given to the earpet-bag gers by the Federal Administra tion, the colored vote, until recent ly, has unanimously given to Re

kanSaS, " Hlte ana OJuer StfeaulS down which to ship the lumber and other products, but the Little Rock and Fort Smith railway also extends from Fort Smith on the western border, through the rich est portion of it to Little Rock, af- fording direct railway communi- cation with the great markets of the world.
 Between Arkansas and the Rocky mountains IS vast region of very rich agricultural and graz Ing lands, with the most saluDri ous and healthful climate in the world, but almost without timber. This vast country needs only about sixty miles of railroad, from Fort Smith, Arkansas, west to Muscogee, Indian territory, to give us direct railwry communica- tion with the immense forests of Arkansas, via Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway to Emporia, Kansas, where It connects with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railway,which already extends west by the great Arkansas valley to Pueblo, Colorado, at the east ern base of the Rocky mountains, through the middle of the great timberless region, which must draw it's supply of timber from Arkansas, because Arkansas is the nearest point that can supply it, and with an average grade of not more than ten feet to the mile, freights will always be low.
 Arkansas now needs a great many saw mills and wagon and blow factories, to supply it's home markets. A. B. F.
 SPRINGFIELD, Ark, Dec. 1876.
 The agitation of this subject is timely; and the reasoning of the respondent who has given his views to the Farmer is correct and his statements true. Arkan- sas has a wonderful wealth in the growths of her forests, and the timber interests of the State are destined to become one of great magnitude, and a source of pros perity and wealth. The lumber business and the manufacture of furniture, wooden ware, wagons and the various other articles for which Arkansas woods are so we'll adapted, must, in time, attract the capital and the skilled industry necessary to utilize the vast stores which our forests will afford.
 In this connection we may re- mark that the suggestion recently made by the Land Commissioner in his biennial report, and ap- proved by the governor in hls message to the Legislature, to the effect that there should be an en- actment making it penal offense to cut timber on the State lands, is we'll worthy of the considera- tion of the General assembly; and in our opinion such law should at once be enacted. Many oi the lands belonging to the State are well timbered with valuable growths, and the interests of the State demand that it shall be guarded from the loss which the removal of the timber will pro- dune.

MT. J. F. Stewart who has been resident citizen Gas the lawyers put it) of this place for the past three years, concluded that after all his old home in Tennessee was a better place to live at than Lonoke, so he hied himself thither, but q stay of two or three weeks satisfied him of his error, and now he is back with us again, has paid years sub seription to the Democrat, and says he will never leave any more. So it is with every one else who gets q taste of Arkansas life. There is no better country, but the trouble is too many find it out too late, and after they have spent their substance in getting away and nothing to bring them back with. Fortunately friend Stewart was otherwise situated.- Lonoke Democrat.
 Several parties who have left Pope county to seek for better homes could now give similar experience. If man will just make up his mind to quit rambling around, and will go to good honest work in Arkan- sas, he will do as we'll as he could do on any other spot in America.

This cotton has been planted the past season in all portions of the state, and the truth verified that it is The Best Cotton ever Planted
 in Texas.
 That it is. the most prolific Aest. sta iip,lle, nfesstt -fapiitdi -faapiitdi iii growth, and ii every way far superior to any cotton known.

 Two to four bales per Acre on up lands: and 1 will furnish numbers of good certificates testify ing to the above, to all who will send me their name and address, also circulars with full information. And now again offer these seed for sale, and refer to the cotton itself as to its merit, and guarantee the seed to be fresh and genuine. And as propose this season to have no trav- cling agents, but to deal directly with the farmer, allowing them 10 make the commission heretofore given to agents, we are enabled to put the seed down to the following prices: " 5000 seed, $l.00; one peck $3.0O; one half bushel, $6.00; one bushe, 5000; five bushel $40.00; ten bush- el, $75.00.
 And l warn people against buying seed from any agent, for l will have no agents, except to canvass for orders. No one will be allowed to handle the seed but myself, and the only place you can get the Cheat haLl Cotton Seed, warranted pure ana genuine, and direct from the proprietor, will be from my office in Houston and if you buy from agents peddling them, you have to risk thera being Cheatham seed. We do this to protect both ourselves and the farmer from being imposed npon by numerous agents who Will doubtless flood the country propos- ing to sell the Cheatham Cotton Seed, and claiming to be authorized agenls of ours.
