 Gen. John $. Williams has been elected Senator from Kentucky to succeed Thcs. c. McCreery.
 Mir. Will Ward was married to Miss Nellie D. Clark, daughter of Sol. F. Clark, at Little Rock last Thursday evening.
 The Des Arc Citizen says that owing to the rainy fall season but little wheat was sown in that section of the State.
 Our esteemed confrere, Dr. Me Gulre, of the Independent ,Arkansi- m. asks to be excused from becom. ing a candidate for official honors.
 There was jail delivery from the Danville Yell county jail last week, resulting in the escape from durance vile of four prisoners -one charged with murder and three with larceny.
 We see from the Forum that some of the leading citizens of John son!county are. talking in favor of the formation of an Agricultural and Mechanical Association for the pur- pose of holding County Fair every year. A good and truly commenda- ble move.
 The contest for the Mayorality of Memphis on the 18th instant, re- suited in the re- election of J. R. Flip pin, the Citizens candidate over john Johnson, the regular Democrat ic nominee, and J. w. Anderson, the Workingman's candidate, by ma jorlty of 1,03s.
 The Brinkley Times says that only some man who is pre-eminent- ly qualified to go to the U. s. Senate should be seriously thought of as Mr. Dorsey's successor. The Times is very correct. We want some man who will command the respect due to the peer of the best men in the Sen ate, and it matters little what section of the State he may hail from.
 Two of Yell county's highly respected citizens, Capt. c. F. Thompson, well-to. do farmer, liv- ing four or five miles from Darda- nelle, and his son Milton Thompson, salesman in one of the principal commercial s~houses of Dardanelle, were arrested last week upon requi- sion from the Governor of Louisiana, under the charge of murder commit ted in 1868. From the information given by the Immigrant and the Ar kansian it appears that the killing was done purely in sclf-defcnse and the only reason why the Messrs. Thompson left Louisiana after the deed was on account of the hatred and persecution that then held sway h Louisiana against all Democrats. The sympathies of all who know the Messrs. T., are with them Tn this trouble, and no fear is entertained about their speedy exhonoration from the charge of murder.

STRANGE! STRANGER

What a hard thing it is sometimes to get people to move in a matter of the most vital importance to them. The truth may be presented to them in the most forcible and convincing manner. They may admit the truth and force of the argument and ac. quiesce in all that can be said, but there is no ACTION; they simply Ac- oUIEscE, and to acquiesce merely is to let theIr most vital interests go to the dogs. Strange! Strange!! But when we remember that it is only by the steady, oft-repeated, sturdy blow that the forest is leveled, the rough rude iron beat Tn shape and utilized for the purposes of civilization, and the valuable ores and hidden wealth of the earth developed and brought to light, we are not discouraged from picking up our Faber often in cause which we believe to be intimately connected with the prosperity of the laboring and industrial classes of Pope county's citizens.
 Ever since last fall when we made our first attempt at holding County Fair, we have been appealing thro' this paper to the people of the coun- ty to form a permanent Fair Organi- zation and prepare to give first class County exhibition every fall. We have appealed through the paper to the public generally and to those of our citizens by name whom we thought were most interested and most public spirited. So far we are not discouraged, although we have as vet aroused but little action and elicited but one response. Last week our esteemed Dover correspon- dent took up the subject and sug- gested the first Saturday in Februa- " as day for holding a general Mass meeting at Russcllyille for the purpose of taking initiatory steps. We are thankful that we have got our friend aroused in the cause, and we trust that others will now fall in- to line. If anything is going to be done it is time for action. The first Saturday in February would be a good time, and we now make the sug- gestion that the friends of the move ment make 1t generally known that there will be grand rally on that day tor the purpose of getting the sense of the people on the subject, and taking such steps as may be deemed prudent. We shall then see what can be done, We hope to see our best men take hold of the mat ter. We HAVE good men in the county and we hear from them al ways when their is an office to fill or honor to be conferred. We will see if we can now hear from them when there is move to be inaugurated for the furtherance of the best interests of our farming and industrial classes.
 Show your colors, gentlemen!

VERY Coon REAsoN.-The reason why only
one sample bottle of MERRELL's lIEPATINE for
the Liver will be sold to the same person. for
ten cents, by our Druggists, GIBBES a. Co, is
because OF tbe enormous expense Of importing
t. llcpatine into this country but as there
afe fifty doses in the large size bottle, it seems
two cents per dose is cheap enough after all for
amcdicine that cures dyspepsia and liver COM
plant. All who have not had a sample bottle
are entitled to one for ten cents at GiBBES Il

Tho State Conventions.

We publish entire the proceedings of the
State apd Congressional Conventions. The har-
mony and unity of those bodies was somewhat
remarkable, disclosing the pleasing fact that
while in many counties there appears on the
surface of political affairs a strong disposition
to distract and disorganizc the democratic par
ty, in the patriotic heart of its members, as de-
veoped by their representatives in those COR
ventions, there is deep and solid determina-
tia to drive out all elements of discord from
their ranks and present one unbrokcn aud uni
ted front at the next election, for the security
and prosperity of the people and the honor and
welfare of the State. Let the democrats of each
county, then, take their cue from their assem-
bcd representatives and, feeling the touch of
each others shoulder, in closed ranks march in
one solid phalanx to the ballot box next Mo-
vember,, with Hampton as their leader, and the
fangs of the nenomous Radical snake will be
extracted and the reptile made powerlcss for
ever after in South Carolina.

make virtue of necessity in our belief that
Union is about healthy n place whereat to
summer it as any other place in the country.
DR.. Rawls and nearly every other member of
his family are now splurging around Ashcvilie,
getting fat on mountain Trout and other sub
stantial luxuries of that region. The Dr. has
invested largely in City lots in Asheville, aud
owns one of the best hotels there-the Savanna

Mr.. w. A. Nicholson and family, accompanied
by Miss Allan, of Charleston, arc also enjoying
the "Mountain breezes' of Ashevillc.
A trip to Glenn Springs is so short and easy
that those who can spare the time and money
content thepsolves with "pop visits" to that
delightful retreat.

Yellow Fever in New Orleans.

The news from this stricken city is truly dis
trcssing. The last reports state the total num-
Der of cases up to 5th inst, to be 299-deaths
49, The greatest excitement prevails among all
GLASSES end IL IL asnspt impossible for any one
TO leave the city, as oil points of egress are SO
closely quarantincd that boats cannst stop while
the cities along the lines of Railroads leading to
and from New Orleans have refused to allow the
railroad trains coming from that city to pass
much less stop at those points. To make the
matter worse, the disease has made its appear
ancc month earlier than ever before, and in q
new and more malignant form. The symptoms
arc different from those Of amy previous vista
tion, which somewhat puzzles the physicians.--
One writer, who left the city by the last train al
lowed to go out, says that fifty per cent of all
patients have died.
