 WHY WE DON'T DO IT,

We have been asked why we don't hoist Gov. Baxter's name at the head of our columns is our choice for U. $. Senate, in conpli- ance with the expressed wishes of the people of our county. We have no objections in the world to giving our reasons. We don't hoist Mir. BaXters name because we believe the man whose name we have hoist ed is an ahler man and will be able to do more for Arkansas. In keep ing his name at the head of our col umns and advocating his claims we do not conceive that we are tlans- cending our right and privilege, for this is an open question until it is settled by the general assembly of the State, and We have the same rights as democrat to advocate the claims of our choice as any other man has to advocate the. claims of his favorite. This is question wuich is not settled by nomination, and because the Central Committee of our county has seen proper to so- 'licit and obtain an expression from our people on this question, is no reason why we should drop the man whom our honest convictions tell us is the best man before us for the po- sition. We always stand by our party nominees, but just as it hap pens there is no method of making q nomination for thls oflice-lt IS a fair open race up to the hour the Legisla- ture may decide it, and we shall therefore stick to our man until we see him set aside by the only power clothed with authority to decide the contest.

Instructions for U. S. senator.

The Prescott Dispatch gives the following reasons, all of which we think are good and sound, for avoid ing any attempt to give popular in, struction in the matter of the cleo tion of United Seates Senator:
 In another column we publish a communication from our esteemed friend and prominent citizen advo eating the instructing of leislators by primaries how to vote for |. $. Senator. We publish this letter with great pleasure, as we will do evsrl thing else which eminates from the pen of our friend. Yet we can not endorse his view of the case.
 FIRST, because, we have confidence in our senator and representative elect, and believe that they are stuff ciently familiar with the sentiments and desires of the democratic party in this county to vote advisedly for Senator.
 SECOND. Because we have no assurance who will be permitted to vote in these primaries, and we want democratic senator elected by a democratic legislature. And if the radicals were permitted to vote, they have sufficient strength to instruct for Dorsey or Clayton. Out of a voting polpuaSion of 2,000 they have 800, and with the friends of Johnson Bell, Royston, Walker, Jones, Baxter and newton, the democratic candi- datc s divided and supporting their several friends, the 300 radical votes could and would unite on a man. and thereby have plurality of votes in- strcting our senator and represena- tive to vote for their man.
 THiRD. We want nothing to oc. cur at the November election which is calculated to confuse or interfere with the congressional election, and we believe to vote for senator would do so.
The Russellville Democrat., 1878-10-31
 GOOD SUGGESTION.

Suppose one hundred large land holders in some of our southern counties who each own say four quarter sections of land, would form an association and agree to give one forth of every quarter section to some thrifty and enterprising home seeker who would clear it up and build 3 home upon it, would it not in all probability prove paving invest ment to all concerned? Arkansas needs people--a hardy. industrious, self reliant class of immigrants, and to get such it is we'll worth while to offer very liberal inducements.-L k. Democrat.
 We have often wondered at the short sightedness of our large land owners. Would it not be better for them to give one entire half of their lands away to the right kind of men in order to induce them to come to our country, and thus surround themselves with thrifty, industri- ous, intelligent people, and thereby double or treble the value of the re- maining half which they would still own, would this not be better, we ask, than to hold the entire amount and see it remain dead capital on your hands and burden for you to pay taxes on.
 We would not advocate donation of 6 homestead to ANY man who will settle upon and improve it, but we do honestly think it would pay our large land owners to pursue q course like this, with picked men of the right kind,-men who would give tone and stability to our country,and who mean business. We think the suggestion worthy of consideration, not only by large land owners in our southern counties but in all sections of the State.

After the Pest.Ience.

The pestilence has done its worst Tn the South and in a few days the mortality will have ceased save in a few isolated districts where the dis ease was most malignant in it's nu- ture. IL has left sorrow in many households and the destitntion which follows it's ravages Is only equaled by that winch supplemented the horrors of the rebellion. War and pestilence seem to have singled out the South for blight and rnln. When the defenders ot the Lost Cause were scattered by the Federal armies, the South could not have been left in more unfortunate con
 dition. The flower of her manhood
 had been sacrificed in the fruitlcss contest, and when it ended, desoIa
 ted villages, smoking houses and fresh made mounds told of its cost. All ties that previously existed he
 tween the two sections were severed, and the victor looked upon the van
 auished with a feeling akin to that of undying hatred. Friendless and
 destitute the South contemplated the
 ruin wrought by war and set about to restore, as far as possible, her fortunes. No helping hand was eX- tended from any direction. Her people entered upon the work un- aided and alone, and WI at has b en
 accomplished in that section since
 inc war is attributable to their own indefatigable perseverance,. lnped
 iments of every nature were thrown
 in their way; carpet-haggers, tax
 gatherers and plunderers were kept in their midst by schemlng politl. clans; but with scarcely q murmer they struggled over those barriers to progress and were pushing on to prosperity when the fearful pesti-
 lenee made its appearance. lt con

 with death they were not alone. time has bound up the fragments severed by sectional strife, and the
 North poured out it's wealth for the
 stricken people m such a manner as
 to make them forgive and forget the past. The chasm has indeed been bridged by Gods own hand, and the
 magnanimity displayed by the peo pie cf the North for those less forth,
 nate in the South will be the basis
 for enduring friendship. There re- mains much to be dane, however, in
 behalf of the stricken people. Their cotton crops have been neglected, and thousands of them are without the necessary means to carry them through the hardships of the winter. Provisions will be scarce and prices dear, and the poor classes must sutf- CT greatly if left to care for tl em- selves. Many children have been made orphans and many wives wid-

WALKERS FIDELITY TO AK-
 KANSAS.

The appended communication written from Little Rock. to the In dependent Arkansian IS strong recommendation for our man for Senator The initials signed to the letter are those of one of Arkansas best men, Hon. Sam. W. Williams
 Dear Mack-We stnl have good health, good appetltes and plenty to eat, down this way. Cotton still coming in but not so lively as a few weeks ago, the fall in price has checked it some. It is a sad com mentary upon the waste of labor in raising an excess of cotton when we reflect tbat if half the cotton in the south were piled up and burned, the other half would bring us over three hundred millions of dollars, whereas all of it now brings about two hun
 dred millions. How much wheat, corn, potatoes, and other cerials might have been raised on one-half our cotton land; how mncn good one years rest might haso done it, and labor have been sa9ed, and yet we be one hundred million dollars the richer for it if we had let it lie out. I was hopeful that the Grange would have organized concert of action In cotton raising and have lessened the yield, and increased the profits. Bnt alas for mans hopes, politicians and sharpers got hold of the grange and it went to seed.
 Talking of politicians, I am glad you have declared for Walker. Among all the good men named for that place, I think he is the man. The incident you relate of Walkers fidelity to Arkansas is true; 1 we'll remember the conversation, and the serious talk we all had of leaving Arkansas. And to-day, Garland, Walker and myself could have been much better of, in purse, at least, had we left. Walker put it about this way, "Gentlemen, Arkansas and her people have given us all we have of money and reputation. II we leave, others like us have the same right, and if we all leave who are strong in debate, the yeomanry of this country and their children will be left to be 'shewers of wood and drawers of water to these s'blood suckers" Now what is our duty?" We all agreed that it was our duty to stay and fight it out, and we then made covenant with each other and shook hands over it, that whatever the destiny of Arkan
 sas was it should be our destiny. If she sunk, we would sink with her, and would give to her welfare our best efforts. Coy. G arland and Judge Walker have nobly redeemed that pledge; ot myself, l will leave others to judge. I may claim, how ever, ike the woman of whom the Savior spoke when he said "She has done what she could" s. W. ".

WHOPPEItS.

Battenfeld, of the Russellville DEMOCRAT, few weeks since made big blow abont a 4-poupd potato which some farmer had donated to him. The Advance of last week ask ed if some Benton county farmer could not beat it. Parson Larkin Scott, who is "boss granger" as we'll as a gospel-dspencer, Thurs day sent to this office two huge sweet potatoes, one weighing four pounds, and the other four pounds and a half, and they would have grown larger but there was not room in the hill. Come again Brother Batten6eld.- Bentonvllle Advance.
 Now to settle this matter and show Benton County just how bad Pope can beat her in the sweet later line, we want some of our good farmers to send us one which will beat Donan clear out of sight.

 ETERNAL VIGILANCE.

Let every Democratic voter in the Fourth Congressional District re- member that next Tuesday is the day for our congressional election. And while it is certain-almost as certain as any event to transpire in the future can be said to be-that the regular democratic candi- date will be elected, yet let us re- mind each voter that our liberties are only retained by the exercise of eternal vigilance. The mere fact of our district being largely democratic will avail us nothing unless we go to the polls and record our vote for our candidate. It is by indifference and apathy that we often see large ma jorities dwindle away, and allow a weak enemy to overcome us. It Is but one step from luke warm party membership to defeat and demorali- zation. Therefore we regard it as Il matter of importance that the full strength of the democratic party should always he polled at our con- gressional elections, and we urge all good democrats to come up to the polls bright and early next Tuesday, and vote. See that you get the right tlcket correctly written or printed thus: THOMAS NJ. GUNTER.

Inirrligration.

It is to be hoped that the next leg islature will take some early, active and decisive steps looking to the ad- vancement of immigration into oui state. Already are the heads oi thousands of thrifty farmers turned towards Arkansas, and they only need little light--authentic light on which they know they can rely, not trusting to newspaper reports, which are supposed to color things too high sometimes in local interests. Efforts have been made to advance the cause by the organization ot county associations; but these, even with the bess directed efforts of all connected with them, without means, are comparatively powerless for good. in order to reach a desirable immigration to our state, publication Of all of our resources must be had .i)y an authorized source, on whose statement he in Iowa, Illinois, or any other state, can and will rely, when he compares notes, preparatory to
 making change. This can only be done by state authority. Some say by the organization of an immigra. ton Bureau, others by an immigra. tion Department in connection with one of the departments already Ill existence; some have one plan and some another. Our plan, or at least our desire for plan, is the most liberal expenditure that our present means as a state will permit, under a wise management, for the purpose oi making known everywhere whence good may come, all the advantages presented by Arkansas to the inmi- grant seeking q home. We are not in favor of the creation of any new offices, yet we consider the matter ot immigration of so great, so vast lm- portance that it, in preference 10 all other suggested improvements will in the most manifold manner, repay every effort made and every dollar expended in that behalf. Now, too, that it has been established almost beyond question, that Arkansas is beyond and above the influence of the yellow fevor raYages, or, per haps, better say that, during the past season, while all around us, South and East of us have been seourged so severely, Providence has protected us and Arkansas has been spared. Tfese facts that Arkansas has never been visited by the fever as an epidemic within years gone by when other places on our borders were afflicted, nor recently when the plague was unprecedented in seyerl ty, are not lost sight of by parties contemplating change of location. The healthfulness of the place to move to is, and ever will be, the first consideration. These with the other great and numerous advantages pre- sented by Arkansas to the home seeker, must be made known broad cast, authoritatiyely made, stamped "fact every word of it.. on it's face, and wait for the result. The Legis- lature must be pressed up ir this matter, and kept at it until some thing tangible, something that will count, has been effected. Every time you meet your Representative or your Senator urge upon him i'm

This is the oldest drug house in the place. The stability of the con cern is established beyond all hazard or doubt, and the fine, roomy brick building which they have just erect ed on the corner of Main and Jeffer- son Streets, and which they now occupy with one of the best kinds of drug stocks, is the admiration of all who visit our town. The proprie
 tors are native Pope county men and have been in the drug business for many years. They commenced on a small capital, but by fair dealing and strlct business management they they now have grown to be drug
 firm of no mean proportions. The propmetors were both in the markets this fall and their stock is now one of the best to be found in the western part of the State. The. manner in which their new house is fitted out and stocked indicates a well merited prosperity in business. Not only are they able to supply all calls for goods in their line to the retail trade, but to smaller dealers throughout the country they will offer strong Inducements.
