Common Schools.
A. I. U., FAYETTEVILLE, May

A. l. U., FAYETTEVILLE, May 20.
 These schools have already re- ceived some attention from our peo- pie, and have accomplished great deal of good in our State: but they have by no means reached the acme of their importance and usefulness, and it is the object of this article to awaken, if possible, deeper interest in our citizens than has ever been manifested heretofore, for the pros perity and advancement of said schools. It is we'll known that they have not been carried on so sue cessfully in the Southern and West ern as in some of the Northern and Eastern states; this is owing, in part, to the depression of financial mat ters, and the opposition these schools have received from some of the prom inent citizens of our country. We are glad to see that the financial affairs are growing brighter under the administration of Governor Miller, and that the opposition re- ferred to is vanishing more rapidly than the clouds before the Northern blast, just after the earth has been shrouded in darkness and gloom by a terrible thunder r-storm. The thun- der-clouds of ignorance are fast dis. appearing before the breeze of intel
 ligence borne from the Common Schools of the land; and fellow clti- zens, if you will take these batteries of education in your own hands, and use them judiciously, the fortifica- tions of ignorance will sooh be di- unfinished, and the disciples of crime and oppression will flee from our country. Lend your assistance to the Common Schools, and great will be the results of your labors. We fear that quite number of our citl- zens Save failed to do their duty Tn the past How many of the farmers of Pope county have kept thelr sons in the field when they should have been in the school-room; how many have kept their children back from these fountains of knowledge when they should have been drinking their crystal currents every moment, pre- pairing themselves to fight the bat ties of lifeY We suppose that you sometimes think yourselves justiiia

Superstition.

A panacea, or "cure- all," is one of the myths of the age of superstition. Dr. R. V. Pierce does not recommend any one or even his whole list of standard remedies as adequate to cure every disease. For severe lingering coughs, bronchial, throat, and chronic lung diseases, he be- lieves his Golden Medical Discovery is unsurpassed, but it will not cure you if your lungs are half wasted by consumption. The Discovery not only exercises potent influence over pulmonary affections, by reason of its pectoral properties, but posses ses also the most valuable alternative, or blood cleansing properties, and is therefore a sovereign remedy in blood and skin affections. But while it will cure scrofulous and other ulcers or sores, blotches, pim- ples, eruptions, it will not cure can cer, nor does it's manufacturer claim ony such merit for it as is done by proprietors of other blood cleansing medicines, who dishonesty try to deceive the afflicted into the belief that their preparations will accom- plish impossibilities. By reason of its real intrinsic merit it has a sale surpasslng that of any other blood and cough medicine.

were we'll supplied with cakes of all sizes and kinds. The mxsic was good and was enjoyed with relish by the assembly. The whole evening passed off without single jar or discord to mar the harmony and pleasure of the occasion. The net receipts of the night were about $70.
 Much credit is due all concerned in the 'sget up'' of the affair, and we hope as they made such decided success this time, they will. try if again at a day no great distance in the future. The committee requests us to say that they desire to thank all who assisted, for their aid, and they would make special acknowl- judgements to Mr. Ezra H. Shinn for his untiring and valuable efforts ;and to Mr. J. l.. Shinn, for donations oi articles for sale.

ble in keeping your children at home when the weeds and grass seem to be taking possession of your crops, and tine prospects for all abundant har vest is very gloomy: but if you will but take the proper view ot this matter, you cannot fail to see that you are not justifiable in keeping them away from school under any circumstances. You had better let the grass and weeds take your farms than allow the weeds of vice and ignorance to spring up unrestrained in the tender minds ofyour offspring. Do not rob them of that which the State proposes to give; do not pre- vent them from obtaining one of the greatest blessings which can be ac- quired Tn this life--a liberal educa- tion. What would you think of the man who would prevent his children from accepting gold that is freely offered to them? If you keep your sons and daughters from school, you are prohibiting them from obtaining that which is worth much more than gold; that which is to prepare them to meet the storms of life, and sur mount every obstacle that rises up before them. You know not how many Ciceros, Websters and Clays you have around you, and never will until your sons are afforded the op- portunity of developing their minds. Then awake. fathers, to sense of your duty, see that your skirts are clear, and that your children are at these Common Schools whenever the doors of the same are thrown open. Much time and thousands of dollars are spent in thoroughly drill ing and equipping our soldiers for opposing any enemy that may at tack us; but much more does the rising generation need drilling and equipping ill the Common Schools, where they will be prepared to enter upon .s'the worlds broad field of battle" and contend successfully with the enemies Of truth and learn ing. If you want your sons to ascend the mount of knowledge, and while standing upon it's adamantine summit, hold the lamp of intelli- gence which is to light the world, send them to the Common Schools. If these schools are properly sus tained they will render the United States of America as much renowned for literature and art as ancient Greece. These schools will estab- fish more firmly the bulwark of free dom which Is thrown around our country, and place the batteries of knowledge upon it's walls, which will bid defiance to all the armies of ig- norance throughout the world.

 Al. Dodson R. wants another sssociable."
 Harry Jeffries is teaching Tom to play marbles.
 Crops are re narkably clean in this section.
 Who says Lee went to Dover? Did you get 'em, Leo? MT. James Cagle did an excellent job of painting on Mir. Schouse's new dwelling house.
 Charlie s. and l.. B. Brandon had few naughty words last Saturday. No lives lost.
 We are under many obligations to the editor of the DEMOCRAT for favors. Miss Bessie Wellington, belle of Russellville is visiting friends here. We wish her pleasant sojourn. Had a fine rain Monday night which was much needed in this part of the country. A bale of cotton was brought to 1 town last Friday and was forwarded to A. B. and A. c. Treadwell by Satur- days train.
 Rex, our clever correspondent of the Arkansaw Traveller, returned from Dover Saturday evening after an ab- sence of two weeks. | --We saw Lee Gideon crossing the railroad early Tuesday morning on his way home. We suppose he started to the sociable and was caught out in the rain.
 Our artistic friend, MT. Galloway. went to the picnic by himself last Sun Jay. Did she "beg to be excused" G.? Never mind old boy, we were 'excus- ed" too.
 Wonder if that fellow, Jack Cor don, was benefited very much by dis | tributing his circulars on the excursion train Sunday. He thought he was playing good joke on the 3-meal men, but we would advise him to use DECENT language in them, if he wishes to dis tribute any more among the ladies.
 Some of our young men are talk ing of organizing brass band. We hope they will succeed and we are willing to our part although we haven't any musical talent.
 Atkins was very well represented on the excursion train Sunday. Tom IIn. told us he sold more than fifty tickets. All say they enjoyed it very much. But we are afraid some of our 3-meal brethren missed their dinner which is contrary to the constitution of the Grand Lodge of 3-M. M.
 Last Saturday afternoon while the boys were all in town and having a sociable game of "CentenniaP' at the saloon, Newt. Crouch called Dan. Bar ton "d- African," and Dan. return ed the compliment by trying the size of Newt's eye with his fist after which the Marshal arrested them both and as Newt. thought he had the fastest horse started home closely followed by the Marshal and overtaken three oi four miles from town and brought before the Mayor and his case adiudicated, and fine assessed at eleven and halt dollars which he failed to pay, but gave bond. The Marshal was assisted by the invincible Alex Harrellson. George Ford is our Marshal, and the boys had better behave or else he'll take them to the ''citY hotel"

The Festival.--A Pleasant Affair

No pleasanter evening has been spent by the people of Russellyille than was afforded at the Festival given by the ladies of the Methodist church last Friday evening. At an early hour in the evening the assem- blaze began to pour into the house, and soon the number reached one hundred and fifty who paid admit tance at the door. The house was heavily and beautifully decorated with festoons, wreaths, and crosses of evergreens. Everything through out the whole house was arranged with the best of taste and skill, and the only improvement which sug- gesteG itself to our mind was that a little different arrangement of the supper tables might have made it more convenient to the guests and would certainly have saved the man
 agers of the tables much annoyance from the crowding and jostling of those endeavoring to procure articles from the tables, The tables
