This community was startled on Mon
day by the announcement that Capt.
Samuel Megaw, of Mifilin township,
had committed suicide by cutting his
throat. Capt. Megaw was well and
favorably known throughout this coun-
ty, having been one of the County Com
missioners some years since. For sever
al years past, we are informed, he has
been ina melancholy state of mind,
which will account for his rash act He
was always regarded as one of our best
citizens, and few men enjoyed the friend
ship of those who knew him best, to u
greater extent than did Capt. Megaw.

Where Did They Come FROM In the
month of February of this year Albert
Sheafier discovered blouse, pair of
duck overalls, linen shirt and hand
kerchief all tattered and torn from COM
ing in contact with passing drift wood,
rubbish, &c. The articles were found
lodged in fish basket that had been set
in small run that flows into the Buffalo
creek short distance above Thomas
Lenig's, in Juniata township. A short
distance above the basket two sacks con-
tanning coffee were also found. Early
last week or late in the week previous
Michael Stutzman while hauling sand
came across a pair Of new boots, with
the strings uncut, lying in the same
stream where it empties into the Buffalo.
Probably the goods were stolen and
hid underneath the banks of the stream,
or secreted in some spot in close proxim-
ity to the water, which during the
freshet, washed them out to where they
were discovered. But where they came
from remains unsettled, no one having
as yet been able to identify the goods

 Dr. A. H. Scott, of Little Rock, is in town visiting his fathers fam lily.
 Harvesting is going on this week, and we are glad to know that Wheat is better than at first thought -the grain is excellent, and upon an average there will be full half crop We think "Honest'' Tom Flesch- CT was partly right on the Guberna- torial question, as he says Hughes and Miller are neither fit for the po- siticn. But he is no better. There fore Arkansas cannot do better than to elect Col. Ben T. Embry. Old Pope is solid for him.
 The young M. D. has been to see the fair one at Dardanelle, and if you don't tell us when the happy day is to be, we are going to tell what we heard on you the other day at Russellville.
 The Hon. A. S. McKennon is gaming ground every day in this section. A leading citizen of Liber- " township told us 8 few days ago, that his township would go for him by large majority.
 -E. l.. McCracken, Dr. Huggins, MT. Mabley, were in town one day last week. "Tobe" IS now squarely before the people for Representative. He will run like . scared wolf and says he is dead out for Baxter, which is more than we have heard from his opponents. You must look to your laurcls gentlemen or this will beat you. Bob Johnson and Little Dave may be very good men, but they can't carry Pope county.

 Another candidate for County Clerk in the field. Won't give his name-let him pay for his announce ment. Says he was forced out by the people. Yc gods! when this mighty array of candidates get out cauvassing the county what will be- come of the horny -handed, sun burnt sons of toll who are to sup port them?
 Let our candidates for Repre- sentative come out and give us their views on the leading matters of State interest; the finance question; {; the penetentiary question, and more especially their choice for U. $. Sen ator. It's too often tho case that men are sent with no declared policy of their own, depending as they say on the will of their beloved constitu- ents for guidance in these important matters. We want the man to have ideas of his own and if they are in conformity with the mass of tho peo- ple's then elect him.
