 We trust none of the ireful sover- eigns whose wrath we have provoked by taking staud in favor of a removal of the County Seat will jump on any of our spicy, sprightly, wide-awakc re- porters W nom We send around the coun- ty. No, no, don't do aEything of the Kind, but just go up to them like good democrats and intelligent citizens and give them your names and tell them to send you the DEMOCRAT for year !! Tell the n, if you feel so inclined, that you don't like the course of the editor in the County Seat question, but say that you are determined to do your duty in aiding to support a county paper and sound party journal in your county. But don't harm a hair on their heads, for they are not rcspon- sible for what appears in the editorial columns, neither are they our fighters. If you want to fight just come down and see the boss-editor, who is always cooked and primed and ready to go of. We have already got our 17,000 pound gun loaded with 42, 900 ponnds of pow der, 17 state houses, County Seats, P jails and II copies of last week s DEMOCRAT Gall we had left out of an edition of l.237 ,OO0.) Now if you fool with us we will touch the thing off and land the whole contents right up iE Liberty township. We know you will subside then and let us fellows down here have the pitiful privilege of build- ing Court house at Russellville.

A PLEASANT DAY IN THE
 COUNTRY,
At the Picnic Given by Pisgall and Bethany Sunday Schools.

Last Friday morning, the 2nd inst, as the AUeUsT sun rose softly above the eastern horizon of our quiet little town and bathed in a warm though beautiful light this i'm immediate part of the Arkansas val ley, and while the dew-drops still glistened or each leaf and sparkled as the diamond on each blade of grass, and birds caroled their sweet melodies from each adjoining bow, our reporter in company with Mir. Lawrence Russell started for Betha- ny, Q distance of s or 9 miles from here, whose groves, in short time were to echo an re-echO with flights of Oratory, and whose refreshing breezes with q low gentle murmur were to arouse some far of ax man, and cause his mind to return to the halcyon days of his boyhood, or bear to some secluded glen, the home of the fox and hare, the perfumes of picnic dainties, and cause the blast of jubilee to resound through FOX HARE wildwood, and ere twilight had enveloped all, the bones, the remains of long watched hen-roost were to be left bleaching white, as monu, ments, long to be remembered of the revelries of the past. About 9:3O the beautiful new church at Bethany appeared among the tree-tops, and MANY familiar faces greeted us upon our arrival. After the shaking of many hands, and a short chat with few of this happy party, We proceeded short distance from the church to beautiful grove, shortly after which followed the Sunday school. #a = a+

The Little Rock Gazette has been

The Little Rock Gazette has been driven to the wall and compelled to admit that it was working in the in terests of Bob Johnson for the U. $. Senate. This is just as we have heretofore charged-~that is the change in the ownership of the Ga zette was for the purpose of using it as a great lever to elect Bob Johnson to the U. $. Senate. It has endeav- ored to evade this charge. but the pressure was too great from all parts of the State and the old lady has been compelled to show her hand. But unfortunately for this would be leading organ, it has been compelled to make its confession at time the Johnson stock was at great dis count in the State. The people do not intend to be represented in the next General Assembly by men who will vote for Col. R. w. Johnson, at a time when there is so much better material in the market.-Alma Her ald.

THE September number of thls admi- raple publication abounds as usual with good things it is really smarvel of periodic literature," for the talented Editor, the Rev. Dr. Deems, fills its pages with original and selected, not only of unusual merit, but combining, in a very remarkable degree, entertain ment, instruction and edification. This magazine particularly comments itself to heads of families; as a family puplicatIon it has no superior, and it should be found in every household, for the pure and healthful character of the literature can scrareely fail to eX- ert highly beneficial influence. The present number opens with an article by Rev. Theodore l.. Flood. A. M., "'rhe Summer School at Lake Chautau- qua," which was established with the design to bring about revolution in the use of methods and means for spreading Knowledge of the Script ures. An article descriptive of "Coun- try Life in Sweden" is highly interest ing and is admirably illustrated. A new serial story by Mrs. Prosser, is commenced, entitled "Michael Air dree's Freehold" and the beautiful temperance story, "The Mapleton Plan," is concluded. Among the short stories arc ''Five in Peashell," by Hans Christian Anderson; "The Es- cape of Grotius," by Alfred H. Guern. sy; "How he Learned Charity" Ca story with mOraD by Francis E. Wadleigh ; '.'rhe Novice of Jerusalem," translated from the french by the late Rosalie K. Marine, etc. etc. There are several sketches of peculiar interest. "Schille, " ''Sir Thomas Moore his Daughter" " "The Last Ascent of mount Ararat,' Lady Strangford, etc., will we'll re- pay the reader.g "Hours with English sacred Poets" is continued; and there are also some charming Poems by Al- ice Carey, James Montgomery, J. E, Rankin, D. D. Mrs. s. E. Sells, Meta Throne, Mary Sherman, and others. The Editor breaches eloquently from the text. "Jesus said, Take ye away the stone." He continues the Popular Exegesss of several passages of Script ure, and his Portfolio affords pleasent reading. There are short..articles on a large variety of subjects, and para graphs. anecdotes etc, almost innumer- able. The number contains l2S quarto pages, and there are over 70 illustra- tions, portraits, notices, etc. The price Is only 25 cents a copy, ard the aniuaal subscription t3, sent postpaid.

From the County Clerk.
DOVER, Ark, Aug. 9th, 1878

DOVER, Ark., Aug. 0tn, l"1o.
 Editor DEMOCRAT: The reason that lands purchased at tax sales, and subsequently redeemed by the own CTS, have not been advertised, is from the fact that the purchasers, for whose benefit alone the notice is re- quired) have WAIVED notice, surrcn- dered their certificates of purchase to the County Treasurer and drawn their money, which they have (as 1 understand the law, a right to do, thereby saving the owner the cost of advertising. Respectfully,
 A. J. BAYLIss, CLERK.
 By B. r. BAYLiss, D. C.
 Please insert the above in the DEMOCRAT, as you have asked the question in that way. A. J. B.
 The section of law which we have asserted, and still assert, the County Clerk has disregarded in the matter of redemption of lands, is as follows !:
 "SEc. 15l. The County Clerk shall publish a notice in some newspaper published in the county, if one be published in said county, if not. in some paper published nearest thereto having a circulation in such county, of such redemptlon, once in each week, tor three weeks, at an expense not exceeding one dollar for each tract advertised, and upon the de- mand of the purchaser, or his legal representative, and surrender of the tax certificate, the County Clerk shall draw his warrant upon the County Treasurer m favor of said purchaser, or his legal represen- tativcs, for the amount of money so deposited, as hereinbefore mention ed, with the Treasurer"
 Under this section of law the duty of the County Clerk is plain. The PURCHASER has nothing to do with causing the notice to be given, and therefore cannot waive it. It is man. datory upon the Clerk, and failure upon his part to give the rotice, is a plain neglect of duty. The notice is required that purchasers of lands at delinquent sales may know when the money has been deposited in the Treasury for redemption. Without this how is the purchaser to know that the piece of land which he has purchased has been redeemed9
 We insert Judge Bayliss' card of explanation with cheerfulness, not wishing to do him the least injustice in the world. All that we want is to have all officials held to a strict dis charge of the duties imposed by law. If any officer can disregard one duty imposed by law, he can another, and so they become law unto them selves and run things to suit them selves. ET
 We will only add, that we did not ask the question "through the paper" until after we were denied the courte- sy of a reply to private letter to the Clerk asking the same question.

Overtasking the Energies.

 This was the extent of the pro gramme, which we are VERY happy to say was PERFECT success. All the, performers did themselves justice, as we'll as adding renewed honor and fresh laurels to their wreath Misses Lucy Parker and E. E. Oates though VERY yonng, read two excellent essays, the former on and the latter on "Friendship." But for fear my pen does injustice in complimenting the others, I viii merely say that it was GOOD. Dinner being next in order, the joyous party marched with a free and light step back to the church, where in a few minutes was placed by '.fair hands and sweet smiles" a repast in quality and quantity, fit for Kings and Lords. Tables were out of order, for they wouldn't have held up half of the good things.
 Music oy Messrs. Johnson Bros. and Holmes upon violins and guit ars added mucbly to the enjoyment of the day. Lemonade and cider was also in profusion, which togeth- CT with the young ladies, surpasses description.
 We owe many thanks to the peo- pie of Bethany and surroundings for their kindness and unbounded hos pitality, and assure them, that if they ever have another picnic and we have an invitation we will be sure to accept.
