The Russellville Democrat., 1877-08-16

are pained to announce the death of another of Pope county's useful citizens-S. R. Parker, our County Treasurer. He had been sick but a few days when to the surprise of all death with stealthy and remorseless march overlook him, and bereft his mourning wife of devoted husband, and the public of faithful servant.
 We are sorry to see the an nouncement in the last number of the Ozark Banner that that is to be the last issue of the Banner under the management of Mir. and Mrs. Cummings. While we regret sever ing our editorial relations with them we hope they may find other busi- ness more pleasant and remunera- tive than the newspaper business is in Arkansas.
 WHEAT CROP IN PoPE.--We 
 wish to get an accurate estimate of the amount of wheat produced in Pope county this year, and we ask every thresher owner to send us the amount of wheat threshed by him. We understand there were about seventeen separators run in this county, and we can get at the wheat crop very closely if each one will send us word how much was thresh- ed. Please do so at once.
 DOVER HIGH ScHooL.-lt affords us much pleasure to refer our read CTS and the public generally to the advertisement of the Dover High School which appears in to-day's paper. The Trustees of this school flatter themselves that they have secured in Prof. Browning, an edu- cator, not only of great scholarly attainments, but of such executive ability as will place the school among the best institutions of learn ing in the State. We wish the school the most eminent success.
 A REMARKABLE CURE.--A gen tleman informed us that he had suf fered 3 years with chills, or fever and ague, when he accidentally dis covered a remedy that cured him entirely in twenty days; he did not have a chill after taking the first dose, nor has never had one since, now over eighteen years ago. The same remedy has cured hundreds. It is called Malarine and can be had by enclosing $l.0O to the Specific Medicine Co.,, Russellvilie, Ark. This company is perfectly reliable, and our readers need not hesitate to send to them.
 Judge N. D. Shinn has placed before us some punches of Concord grapes from the farm of Mir. Wm. Brooks, winch does the eye good to look upon and makes the mouth water. Oh, that the doubting and hesitating home seekers of the crowded north could see these lus- cious productions of our soil, and behold with what prolific abundance and vigorous health they grow in our own grand old State. What tons upon tons of this luscious fruit might here be grown! Why don't everybody who has a garden or truck patch put out an arbor of vines and have supply of this delicious fruit?
 -SATURpAY's MEETING. Else where will be found the proceedings of last Saturdays meeting called for the purpose of taking preliminary steps toward having a County Far this fall. We are proud to know that there is a real live interest among some of our best men on this subject, and we do sincerely trust that the leaven will spread until the whole mass of our people are thor oughly alive to the importance of this matter. One week from next Saturday there will be another meet ing as per adjournment, and we urge upon each section of the county to send respectable delegations to the meeting. It is matter which will pay.
