THE HOT SPRINGS FIRE.

As will be seen by the account published in another place in to-day's paper the town of Hot Springs has had a sore affllction. The entire business portion of the town and many residence have been destroyed, and thousand people are homeless and destitute. The sufferers need succor. It is meet and proper that those who are prospering and have some mite to spare should contribute to the wants of their suffering fel- low humans. We suggest that all our citizens and the people of the surrounding county contribute a small sum and place the same in Mayor Erwin's hands to be forward ed to the destitute unfortunates. All can contribute tritie and the aggre gate will be enough to be of some assistance in relieving the wants of the unfortunate people of Hot Springs. If you can only give a dime or quarter-of-a dollar that will be SO much, and like the wid- ow's mite it will be accounted q righteous and' charitable act. Rus sellville is prospering and can afford to give something.

COUNTY SEATS-THEIR RE-
 MOXAL.

The partial destruction of the Court house at Dover, by Friday nights storm, will no doubt, raise the question as to the removal of the county seat; and in fact he have al. ready heard the eligibility of Atkins or Russellville suggested. For the information of the citizens of the county in this matter, we copy in to- day's paper the law as it was enact ed in 1875 in relation to the removal of the county seats. From this it will be seen that an election may be had at any time ny the presentation to the county court of q proper peti tion. The old Courthouse has long been considered unsafe and as it is now much damaged it is a question worthy of serious consideration, whether it would not be better to build new courthouse, at a new county seat if the people wish a change, rather than to undertake to patch mp the old one. Surely if the people wish a change at all they should now speak out and make their wishes known, and not wait until the county shall have incurred the heavy expense necessary to re- pair or rebuild the old court house.

of building this road, but lacking capital the enterprise languished until the civil war put an end to all such works. After the war, when capitalists were made acquainted with the great resources of the Ar kansas Valley; it's astonishing recup- eraticn after years of desolation, and the great volume of it's commerce in proportion to its population; it was determined to build the road and it's construction was commenced and rapidly pushed forward to compile tion. Substantially constructed, perfectly equipped and admirably managed, the Little Rock & Fort Smith railroad is in successful oper- ation, travcrsing the entire western half of this magnificent valley, and running daily trains from Little Rock to Fort Smith, distance of l65 miles.
 Along this rich valley on both sides of the railroad and on each side of the Arkansas river are locat- ed the lands granted by the United States government to this railway company, consisting of alternate sections along the entire line of road embracing more than one million acres of carefully selected choice iarming, stock raising and fruit growing lands. Having been held in reserve and not placed in market for more than twenty years, these lands have not gottten into the hands of spectators, and by reason of the rapidly settling up and i'm provement of the country, many of these lands are adioing well-mprov ed farms, orchards and vineyards, and adjacent to thriving towns, and thus their value and preferableness is mnch enhanced, as it is not a will derness where everything is new and to be tested, but it is a country al- ready full ofestablished institutions, with it's country roads, school houses, churches, farms, Masonic and other lodges, stores, county towns and good neighbors. They have now all the desirability resulting from this important fact. Never hefore have the lands of any railroad been brought into market under circum- stances so favorable for actual set tiers, and to intelligent readers and purchasers this fact presents fea- ture worthy of special consideration. The lands consist of river and creek bottoms, undulating uplands and hilly slopes.

to the Russellviilc Democrat which indicates very strongly that they mean business in Pope. The people of Russeilyille change their time of meeting and cheenully announce their willingness and desire to coop crate with the farmers in permanent ly establishing a County Fair Asso- citation,
 This shows that the eyes of our neighbors are upon us, and that they regard the move we have lnaugura- ted as an important one. There is now responsibility resting upon us. We are watched, and the success or failure of our undertaking may and will decide the movements of other counties. If we succeed it will be taken as an evidennce that our work is good and profitable and others will follow in our wake in establish. ing Fairs. If we fail others will re- frain from making the effort Shall we not then set pattern which will give an impetus of force and worth to this important matter? Citizens of Pope county jet us not disappoint the expectations which we have given birth to. Let us remember the meeting on the second Saturday in April and turn out enmasse with firmly set resolution to make grand success of our county Fair Associa- tion. In five years time we can make it matter of not merely local importance, but we will find it will be a thing of note and importance to the whole valley from Little Rock to the Indian Territory.

HOME-SEEKERS READ THIS.

A correspondent of the St. Louis Commercial Gazette, who was up this valley few weeks ago, writing to his paper has this to say of this part of the State:
 While the entire State of Arkan- sas offers great inducements to the agriculturist, horticulturist, stock raiser, lumber men, etc, there IS no section of the State that embraces such an extensive area of rich farm ing lands as does the wes.ern half of the Valley of the Arkansas river, extending from Little Rock, tie cen ter and capital of the State, to it's western border. And while the east erly end has great fertility of soll, it is the western half that presents the greatest attractions to persons seek ing new homes. That portion of this great valley west of Llttie Rock may be estimated at about seventy
 miles from north to south, and one hundred and fifty miles from east to west. Its area is about i0,500 square miles, or 6.720,000 acres; or one fifth part of the whole Slate, and includes all of ten counties, and DOT tions of several others, and over one hundred thousand people. In the year 1858, the general government donated lands to aid in the eonstrue- ton of railroad from Little Rock to Fort Smith through this valley. A company was formed for the purpose

A Gentle Hint.

In our style of climate, with it's sud- den changes of temperature, -rain, wind and sunshine often intermingled in single day,-it is no wonder that our children, friends and relatives are so frequently taken from us by neglect ed colds, half the deaths resulting di- rcctly from this cause. X bottle of Boschee's German Syrup kept abont your home for immediate use will pre- vent serious sickness, large doctors bill, and perhaps death, by the use of three or four doses. For curing Con- sumption, Hemorrages, Pneumonia, Severe Coughs, Group or any disease of the Throat or Lungs, it's success is sim ply wonderful, as your druggist will tell you. German Syrup is now sold in every town and village on this conti- nent. Sample bottles for trial, l0c. :; regular size 75c. For sale by J. NJ. uarkey & Rro.

Governor Fremont oi. Duty.

General Fremont was appointed Gov ernor of Arizona last June, and entered upon hIs duties as such one week ago today. He remained in New York and other eastern cities Jill near the last of August. His journey from New York to Prescott was attended by a series of ovations. Some of the papers speak as if these ovations were the re suit of the Generals own management but we prefer to say they were so many evidences of respect'for the man. Ari- zona's railway and steamboat melrop olis (Yuma) did not give the General a public reception, as their journals give no reports of one, but this may be accounted for in the fact that he was pressing forward to Prescott to qualify and perform official acts de. ferred for his decision and perform ance. As yet DO public accounts have been received here of Prescott's recep- tiOn to the new Governor, but two days before his arrival, $500 had been sub scribed for the occasion. The new Governor is now in working harness and getting the princely salary oi about S2O0 per month. The greetings are over. What next?

 This ought to remove any remaining doubt as 10 the Cnmpany's purposes. Colonel Hewitt would hardly give our that he had received such official in formation unless he had actually re- ceived it.

Mining Progress.

Without going into details we may safely say that the weeks reports from the various mining districts of Pima county, never were more encouraging All developments, so far as reported are satisfactory and many are unexpect edly rich. -is one of many, we men tion the hitherto almost unknown tn cle Sam claim ID the Tombstone Dis trict The owner of it has five tons ol ore sacked fel. shipment. He puts the average value at $10U0 per ton, but others say it is likely to work up to Sl5OO. The Cataline claim is a recent location in Gro Blanco District. An assay by NJ T. Brown of what ap peared 10 be below average ore, gave S25.1l in gold and S562.35 in silver per ton. The owners have a con- tractor sinking on the vein and they will thoroughly explore it. Reports from the late discoveries in the Chiri- cahua mountains, are that they are rich enough.
 We hear of many purcnases of claims for actual working purposes. There never before was such a general disposition 10 get claims for legitimate mining and milling. This is the be>t proof of the faiih the people have in the richness of the claims, and there were never before so many competent judges of mining property, examining the gold and silver discoveries in Pima county.
