The Fort Sinith Rail Road Land
 

the noa completion of tho roads in the sine and manner required by the acts making the grants, tho de- partmcnt reported tko lands granted to the Fort Smith road lying in the counties named, us forfeited to the United States.
 This matter recently came before the United States circuit court i'll this city, on q blll filed to restrain the counties named from assessing and collecting taxes or the lands ly- ing i'll those counties.
 On hearing tie motion for pre- liminary injunction, the court deClin- ed to express any opinion on the question whether as proposition of law the road was completed Fort SmithN within the meaning of the act of congress, but granted the pre- liminary injunction upon the ground that where it was grave question whether the company was entitled to the lands, and where iJ had, ill good faith, demanded the patents, and the proper department of the goyer- ment had refused to issue them, up- on the ground that the road had not been completed in the manner re- quired by the act of congress, to en- title the company to the lands, that they must prima facie be regarded as the lands of the United States, and not subject to taxation by the state. The court held that it was not necessary that patent should be issued to make lands subject to taxation; that when company or individual was the undisputed owner of the equitable title to lands, and the right to be T patent therefor was admitted by the United States, such lands were subject to taxation
 The injunction granted was tempo rary only, and the case will come on for final hearing, probably, ut the next term.
 In answer to a question assuming that the road had been completed in accordance with the requirements ol act of congress, and that the railroad company could obtain patent for these lands on demanding is, the at torney general of the state answered that on such state of facts they were subject to taxation.
 It will be seen, however that the facts assumed in the question pro pounded to the attorney general, and upon which that officer formed his opinion, and the actual facts ot tlIe case are widely different.

 Associations
RussrrrvILLE. July B. l

RUsSEIrvILLE, duly l3, 1878. l The Pope County Fair Association met i'll stockholders meeting and was called to order by k. J. Wilson, Prcsi- dent.
 The minutes of last meeting were
 read and approved.
 | The Executive Committee reported 1 that they had no other propositions | than those presented at the last meet | ing concerning lands for fair grounds. | They further reported that they had made calculations and found that the | land could be paid for and enclosed, all the necessary buildings erected for hav- | ing respectable fair this fall at cost | of $l ,050.00.
 pr. J. K. Perryman suggested that we might do well with less than ten acres of land. The President insisted that ten acres was small enough and | insisted upon a mighty effort being
 made to move on quickly and accom- plish an arrangement for a good fair this fall.
 1 pr. Perrvman moved, seconded by Mir. Poe, that the President be author ized to appoint one in each township as a committee to solicit further subscrip- | ton and to collect the one-halt called l for at the last meeting. Motion sus- tained.

True love is like ghosts of which everybody talks, but which few have met.
 'Be faithful unto death' IS the de- mand made upon us. No less q term of service will win the crown.
 When troubles bear fruit they cease to be trouble, and those who have them are tar above pity.
 The preparation for service is the knowledge Of our own weakness and faith in the almighty power of God.
 Watching and waiting arc infinite ly more productive or T knowledge of the Lord Himself than any eternal labor made by our hands.
 There is a cross on the way to cv- cry crown; but often the only crown reYoaled Go ls, until we have fairly lifted the cross, is cfo@g qf thoeas.

Political Points.

Troy Budget: President Hayes is evidently becoming . good Grant man.
 Boston Post; Kearney may be allowed to name the next President, but he will have to wait until after the election, and he can leave of swearing in the meantime.
 St. Louis Globe-p -pemocrat: If it is too early to nominate candidate for the Presidency, why are so many Democratic papers putting Senator Thurman forward? Let us have a fair start in this thing.
 Philadelphia Times: The third term sentiment is making great headway Tn the Republican organs. By and by Grant will be along on horseback, with Belknap and Robe son up behind, and we shall have Grantism with all that the name implies.
 Chicago Times: It is quite man fest to the great American elector that his solemn duty is to rid the Legislature and the offices of his country, when the legitimate occa- sion presents, of ninety nine per cent. of the crowd now in. Fresh blood, and lots of it, is in demand.
 Brooklyn Eagle; New York in
  1880 will do for Mr. Tilden what she did in 1876, only more ahundantly, for even if Kelly himself should head an anti-Tilden delegation from this State in 1880, the manhood of the party in the Nation would resent the insult and the outrage, and the convention would renomihate the President elect, if right.

Whenever and Wherever.

Diseases of choleraic type prevail. or there is cause to apprehend visl. from them, the system should be toned. regu- lated and reinforced by q course of Hostetter's Stomach Filters. '1eeEfcT digestion and regular habit of bddy arc the best saseguards against such maladies, and both are secured by fl'is inestimable tonic and alternative. Iha- Bitters are alao extremely scrviceablc in remedying such disorders. 1T promptly taken i'll bilious collie, diarz ihu9a and cholera morbus, the disease is usually frustrated. In diarrhoa eases, it is only necessary to restore the tone of the relaxed bowels, and this is one of the specific effects of this medi- cine. Wind on the stomach, heartburn, billiousness. nausea, headache, and other symptomps of disturbance iil the gastric and hepatic regions are also speedily relieved by this excellent rem edy. As family medicine it is inval- uable, since it promptly and complete ly remedies those ailments which are of most frequent occurrence.

Jesus lived as our example. His life was a revelation upon earth of the heavenly life, ane model of the course over which we should walk to the glorious land.
 If we would frequently go apart by ourselves and have communion with Him, grace and strength would be given us in largo measure for cur duties and trials on earth; and ey cry such season would be T toretaSte of heaven, and increase our longing for it's eternal, and unbrokep Happiness.

Is there man or woman who does not know the uses of quinine? But its effects are so serious with the many that they will not take it for chills, and thousands would use anything else in nreCerence if tbey knew the. article. Days Ague Tonic is far superior to quiniGe or anything else for the cure Of chills, because it is not unpleasant to take, produces no evil effects, is pow erful antiperiodic, and when 1t cures the ehills, they do not return, as with

Entertaining and Instructive
 Sabbath Reading.

Frank Leslie's Sunday Magazine for the month of August is promptly on our table, and presents very strong claims for liberal patronage.
 This is publication which com mends itself alike to the religious community and the general public. While distinctly religious, it is al- together free from sectarianism; the aim of the Reverend Editor, Dr. Charles. r. Deems, Is to render the magazine worthy of universal accep. tation; to blend in it's largely miscel
 laneous contents, entertainment with instruction, and, withal, to in culcate prlncipals of religion, virtue and morality, and to do thls ill . most pleasurable manner. The orig inal articles, and all selections, are eminently calculated to exercise a beneficial inllucncc; and no one we think can possibly iail to be greatly ediiied by the perusai of tho pages of this excellent publication. One can pleasantly and protitably while away an hour with it between the church services; and those who are not church attendants but who abstain conscientiously from novel reading on sunday, will not suffer from wcariness and ennni if provided with this delightful companion.
 The subjects embraced iu the con tents are exceedingly vaucd, and all the articles arc rcpleLe with pure sentiments, and happy, pleasant thoughts. Each number is, in fact, most enjoyable literary banquet.
 The August number Is c1owed with good things; prominent among them are Professor Wells article on "John Peter Lange" lWith portralt) |; "Religion and-Eepelicenco," by the Rev. Parsons Cooke; "Ilalr Truths" "All Kinds of l6ahies," by Eliner Lynnde; Queen Elizabeth" (four il- lustratioEs and portrait), Paul at the Toin.0 of yirgil'; "Nineynh and Babylon; The Christian World, ' by Professor scliem; Wit, Wisdom aad Pathos of childhood" Hours with English Sacred Poets" (eon
 tinued), by John Dome, D,D.; Flu neral of tho Soul !" "A Scotch lloro
 inc" etc., etc. The editor from the Home Pulpit, from the text '.Beauty for Ashes he also contin
 ues bis Popular EXegesis oi several passages of scripture, and his Note Book and Library Table are highly interesting. There are q large num
 Der of illustration, portaits, notices
 etc. Each number contains l25 qualto pages, and tle annual sub scription is only $3 postpaid. Sin
 gie copies 2o cents. Address FRANK LEsLIE's PuBLrsnNG Housg
