 FAST TIME.--Ycu may talk about fast railroad time but you won't find q road in the United States which can get ahead of this:
 The Express trains on the L. R. X F. s. Railroad make fast time. One day this week, Dunham of the V. B. Press started from Cherokee, to make trip down the road, and as the train fled past Van Buren station he attempted to kiss his grand mother, who was stand- ing on the platform, but kissed an old negro woman at Alma, nine miles away .-Ft.

 We this week received a copy of ''The Torchlight," well-edited, newsy weekly paper published at ox- ford, N. c. It has an X mark on the wrapper and taking it that this means an exchange we send the DEMOCRAT with pleasure and hope to receive the Torchlight regularly. And by-the- way, brother Davis, we have large sprinkling of North Carolinians in our county, there being so many in one particular section of the county that that locality IS called the North Caro- lima settlement. And they are all model citizens too-good honest, indus trious, hardworking people. We would be proud if you would send us i few hundred more of the same sort.

An Apostrophe to woman.
BY REv. B. YORK, D. D.


 The following lines are respectfully dedicated to Mrs. J. F. Munday, Mrs. Dick Potts, Mrs. Alva Russell, Mrs. J. E. Battenfield and Miss Porah Boswell, who 90 nobly and generously aided me, stranger, in an hour of heart sinking disappointment, severe affiic- ton, and deep distress: Woman, what magic in thy name.
 Who hath not felt it's power7 The best the richest gift to man,
 Earth's faireet, sweetest flower. Yes, heavens best earthly gift to man, To him so kindly given, With love. to gild life's narrow span, And help him on to heaven. The muses' foundest wreath is thine: Thy praise their tongues employ; Through thickest gloom, thy love doth shine And all is bright with Joy. Without thy love. without thy smile, How dark this world would be- Asvorld without a sun to shine,
 Or ray of light, to cheer! Without thee, what is boasted homes A dark and cheerless night; But, to that home, thou art the sun That oh -ers and makes it bright May joy and peace thy steps attend Through life's eventful road; And when thy useful work is done,
 Thy spirit live with God RUssELLyILLE, ARK, Feb. 16 1878.

Our dispatches yesterday told the same old story of the snow blockade on the line of the Union Pacific. This IS the trouble with that road over six months in the year, and will be till the end of time. Thousands of dollars are lost to the corporation, expensive delays incur red by travellers, trade and business depressed, all by the rigors of the <climate through which the road pas Ses. But the Texas Pacific passes through land of flowers instead ol l region of snow and ice. Build the road, and blockades and snow blows Twill be unknown. There will be no vacations and costly delays either to the corporation or to the travelling public, but travel and trade will flow on from the Atlantic to the Pacific with perfect certainty and regularity during the entire year.-Little Rock Gazette.

Unfortunate Shakes

Are those which make drug shops of our stomachs, and then not cured. Many of us can't afford to lose so much time and money without benefit, hence we are compelled to look around and find out an Ague remedy that will cure the quickest ard keep the chills off the longest with the least medicine. Such remedy is cheapest, and such a reme- dv is Days Ague Tonic, which does all the work to be done in the perma- nent cure of chills. 1t cleanses the stomach, arouses the liver, opens the bowels, destroys all malarial poison, restores peace and comfort to your aching limbs and bones, and sends the chills "where the woodbine twineth."

Dreadful Disaster.

On Friday night, March lst, about seven o'clock, fearful hurricane struck the premises of Mir. John Bettis. in Dallas county, about l5 miles north east of Arkadelphia. Believing danger to be imminent, Mir. Bettis sought security with his family in the cellar. The building was rszed to the ground, and the debris crushed in upon the terror stricken ones, killing the two little sons, and dangerously wounding the wife of Mir. B. The house of Mir. Peterson who lives upon the same farm, was blown to atoms. The vio- lence of the storm was so great that child of Mir. F., aged five years, was carried by the wind quite dis tancc into the top of q tree, where il was rescued, in bruised condition. Mrs. Peterson was seriously hurt The clothing, furniture, &c., were blown away and but small portion were recovered.
 The .neighborhood or Cane's M,lls was also made to suffer, and many houses were uhroofed and otherwise badly damaged.
 Since the above was put in type we learn that the premises of Mir Syb Hall, some fifteen miles East ol town were also visited by the torna do. The buildings, fences, trees kc., were destoyed, and huge tim bers and trees carried for miles through the air. No personal inju " or loss of stock was sustained. Philadelphia Standard.

.I MHarkey & Bro.

In commencing our review of the live business firms of Russellville we lead of with the oldest drug firm in the city. Mess. Harkay < Bro, establish ed themselves in business here very soon after the s'late unpleasantness. ]" From very small drug shop on River street their business grew and prosper ed under the careful and judicious man agenlent which was bestowed upon 1t, until the firm was forced to purchase lots and build more extensive business house on the corner of Main and Bu- chanan street. Once established in their new quarters they put in better stock and extended their business be- yond any attempt hitherto made. The popularity of their house increased and last fall they found their business de- handed still better and more commo- dious quarters. So they moved their frame building from the corner lot and are how engaged in erecting a hand some, substantial iron-front brick bull ding on this lot, The Senior mesnber of the firm is now in St. Louis purchas- ing the iron front and trimmings for the new building and also laying in q fresh stock of drugs and druggists goods. With the long experience which Mess. Harkey < Bro, have had in the drug trade and the increased fa- cilities which they will have at their command when they get their new block completed, they will, no doubt, have more prosperous future betor. them than has cveI yet attended theme The firm are liberal advertisers and generous in all their dealings.
