THE POPE COUNTY FAIR AS-
 ISOLATION.

We call attention to the proceedings of the meeting held last Saturday, and we take this occasion to congratulate the people of our county upon the happy results of the agitation of this matter. 1 We confess, also, that we are vain enough to feel like claiming for the DEMOCRAT share of the credit due for the success which now seems to promise certain realization. The DEMOCRAT has agitated this matter without weary ing or dispairing, and we think we do not claim too much for the paper when we say it has been great aid to the movement. It is therefore with good deal of pride that we are able to say that the entire success of the Pope County Fair Association is certainly assured.
 The meeting last Saturday was as harmonious, earnest q working move ment as we have ever witnessed. The work of the meeting was GOOD. The Board of Directors selected is composed of the best men in the County, and they are capable of making our Association grand and important thing. The members of the board are every one of them earnest, public spirited. energetic men. They have a large county pride and are not a. raid to work. THEY WILL WORK. And now we most earnestly urge upon every member of the Asso- citation TO GO TO WORK and cooperate with the Board of Directors. We want the interest and sympathy of every man in the County enlisted. Solicit every man ia the county to take stock. There is no one who is not able to take one or more shares, and we trust that 1 by the time of the next meeting which will be on the second Saturday in June | that every dollar of the stock will be taken. Already enough is taken to show that the movement is going to be popular and to give the Directors hopes that they can commence fencing and | building early in July. Let each stock holder do his best for the gooi work !; l and especially let the committees in the various townships get every mans name within their respective territories down for some stock. The man who will refuse to take an interest in this matter to the extent of few shares of stock need no longer expect to hold a l place in the estimate of the people of this County as q public spirited citizen.

just. as- safe in this State, as any place son earth. Good chances are open4to those that will operate, and capable of dolng so; but spectators merely buying mp lands 'gto sell again at a great advancement, are closely watched, and rather summed than otherwise, by mineral land holders, for this class of buyers rather retard progress than help it. As rule the people here mean bus mess, plain, straightforward honest business with vim in it. 1 am safe to say all that mean this receive a hearty welcome, and all who don't mean it had better stay at home, if they have one, and if they have not, at least stay out of Arkansas.

Obituary.

Another one of earth's precious jew els is gone. Death has mantled another lovely home in the gloom of bcreave- ment.
 Little ROBERT YOUNG, son of w. E. and NJ. E. Young, was born Sept. 2l, 1872, and died of Meningitis on the morning of May }, 1878, after n short and severe illness of about four days. Thus another little angel has been added to Heavens white-robed host, and the hearts of loving parents are made to bleed for the departure of their darling little boy.
 Little ROBERT was a bright, and an unusually interesting child. He had entwined himself by his endearina little attentions around the hearts oi not only his parents and relatives, bul of his teacher and schoolmates, and il seems so hard for us to give him up, The brightness of his intellect and the attractiveness of his character was q source of great comfort to his parents, But God has taken him to himself. Be of good cheer, dear parents, your littlg
 ROBERT is mot dead but sleepeth.' He has only crossed the Jordan ol death, where he will be "waiting ano watching" for you he can never como
 back to you, but if you are faithful tc the end you will go to him. Oui
 Savior has only transplantcd your littl, | bud from the trials and tribulations ol
 this world to that genial cline, whert sin an sorrow never enters, on thu shore of the "beautiful river that flow, | by the throne of God.n Borrowing | parents, weep not for little ROBERT, fol Just asthe oriental beams

A Public Demand

Has long been made for an eflectual and permanent ehlI remedy containing no quinine, arsenic or mercury, and that produces no unpleasant symptoms about the head, one that can be taken by the most delicate stomach, and acts upon the secretions thoroughly with out other medicine; one that strikes and completely eradicates all miasmatic poisons lurking in the system. Such a remedy has lately been placed before
 the public, and is known as Days Ague Tonic which is having wonderful run. lJune 6.

 NoAH's ARK, ARKADELpHIA,l
 April 29th. 1878.
 Ed. DEMOCRAT: saw in late is- sue of your paper that some of your Dover correspondents said, that would not vote for R. B. Hogins, be cause he made me pay my tax last year. I did not say 1t. l said would not vote for Hogins because he sent his "arsh- dodds" on me one day last spring when l was at work in my field attending to my own do mestic business and demanded my property for taxes, which 1 refused to give up to them as we had elected MT. Hogins as our official.
 And now we noblcs and delin- quents and John Qulnn's friends mean to beat Mir. Hogins in the cleo tion.
 As for Davls and Jackoway, they have both been granted admittance into the Ark but I fear, Jackoway will be wrecked in crossing the riv. CT, as he lives beyond, and Davis wlll beat him into the office of circuit judge.
 have been praying for Byers ev- CT since l heard he was a candidate, that is for him to go to h. and stay there eternally.

THE EAST.
,I'he controvcrsy between tic powers

The controversy between the powers in the East still goes oli without any thing of decisive character being made known. The daily dispatches from there give no clue to solution of the question as to how the trouble may end, and are, taken altogether, rather vague, and at times contradictory. One day it looks like all the pending nego- tiations would come to naught and that war would certainly cnsue; next day the dispatches give reports of negotia- tions which look more hopeful. Both Russia and England continue to show active preparations of their military and naval powers, and a buster and hub-bub is kept up which feeds the ex- citement of outside lookers-on. There is no interference by other powers. It looks like game of bluff on both sides, and we are decidedly inclined to the belief that there will be no war. Any days occurrences may, however, change the whole aspect of the case.

Dr. Deems and Frank Leslie.

The brilliant literary ability of Rev. Charles Force Deems, D. D., IL. D., the distinguished Pastor of the Church of the Stangers, New York, associated with the undaunted courage, enterprise and energy of Frank Leslie, has, in connection with the Sunday Magazine, resulted in much profit to the country, Frank Leslie's s lnday Magazine has no rival, nor need it fear any. No American monthly has taken q more rapid or firmer hold on the affections of the people. While it is purely relig- ious in tone and teaching, it is non-sec- tartan and not ''over-religious," and there is an abiding element of fresh ness about it which is truly invigorat- ing. Each number contains l2S quarto pages of pure pleasantncss, illustrated with 100 highly interesting engravings that kind of literature which, while it attracts, captiyates and entertains, instructs, cheers and elevates the read CT, no matter what the creed, sex or age may be. The low price of this pub lication places it within reach of the million. The annual subscription price is but s3; single copies, 20 cents postpaid. q f
 Among the many good things con tained in the June number, now ready, and which closes the Third Volume we notice the following articles: .'The Pyramids" by Rev. Philip Schaff, D. D.; "Thc Life of Alexander Duff," by A. II. Guernsey; "Glimpses of the Tower of London," by Rev. John Bay ley 'sls47," by T. E. Macauly; 'rhe Home Pulpit,' by the Editor; ''Flor- enee and the Med:ci'; "Strasburg and it's Cathedral"; "Wit, Wisdom and Pathos of Childhood"; .Incidents in the Reign of Terror in France" ''Hours with English Sacred Poets, y etc., etc. Stories by Byron A. Brooks J. II. Connolly, F. NJ. F. skenc and others; beautiful poems, interesting anecdotes, miscellaneous notes, etc., complete the bright number.
 Address your orders to Frank Leslie, 8, 55 X g Park Place, cor. College Place, New York.

iltllt OifIc liOuhd bio sof CA'~- . Meth.nks the angels smiled
 When they met him at the gate; Wherclie's sweetly chanting praises And for you will watch and wait. Oh! you know your child is lovely In that bright and happy land, "With a crown upon his forehead And harp within his hand. He clasps his little dimpled hands Together as he sings, And then his little angel form Is borne on angel wings; o. parents could you see him, Would you call him back again? There he's happy, free from suffer-

 Free from every care and pain. Soon the Autumn winds will scatter Failing leaves above your child, And the winter winds he bowling Der his grave so fierce and wild; But they can't disturb your darling, For he sleeps too swectly there; There he rests, your little ROBERT, While you sadly miss him here. Grieve not, then, stricken parents, In these things God knows best, Tho he's called your ROBERT from

 He has taken him to rest. Be faithful in your duties here, God calls as he has given; "You've one less tie to bind you

 We noticed so nething in the Scott vile Peneilings concerning the Court House being welded to Scottville on account of her modesty. We think the Dr. was joking about that. There was two of Scottville's sons up at New Bethel at Church a few Sundays ago. James and John. During service they walked out and mounted their horses and rode off and made as much roaring as a drove of buffalo. If that is what you call modesty, Scottyille had better vote for tde Court House to go to Ca gle's Mills where she can be made happy. FN M@ LIBERTY.

 l Major W. D. Jacoway, one of the three worthy aspirants to the seat on the circuit court bench in this district was in town Saturday. He was cheer ful and confident. but expressed de cided averseness to the idea of making a canvass on the stump for the position
 such mode of procedure not com. porting, in his opinion, with the exalt- ed dignity of the position, and having { tendency to engender degree of ex. citement from which the successful competitor, whoever he may. be, should be perfectly free when he ascends the bench. We commend this view of the case. For political office we see nc objection to a canvass on the stump but we think it of very doubtful pro priety, to use the mildest term, fol judicial positions.
