various lotteries there has accumulated within the past ten years some s2ls .30S worth of these unclaimed prizes. The circular says that drawing has been made to distribute these unclaimed prizes among the ticket holders of the various lotteries which have reported unclaimed prizes on hand; and at the foot of the circular Is given what pur- ports to be an Official Notice informing the recipient of each circular that he has drawn such and. such prize. In most of these circulars which we h ave seen the prizes reported drawn are fine gold watches valued at from $l00 to s200, and the percentage due thereon is from $10 to $25. The notice informs the fortunately drawer that by for warding the amount of charges he may receive the prize. We warn all parties against biting at such bait as this. It is undoubtedly barefaced swindle, and any one who is fool enough to bite will surely find himself badly bitten. Beware of ALL lotteries, much more so of such swindlcs as the one above ex- plajued.

That Immigration Society.

EDITOR DEMOCRAT: I see a piece in your last issue in regard to the immigration society of Pope county. You ask what has become of it: 1 can say it is just where it ought to be; that is, in the good feelings of a generous and kind people. who are willing, at all times, to take the inn migrant by the hand, welcome him here, and spare no pains in showing him our country, and giving him such information us is necessary for him to know. You say we ought to raise money to send printed matter abroad; this IS important in it's na
 ture, but where shall we go to get the moneyp to whom shall we say, Give us some money. l believe our county has been thoroughly adyer- tised, and besides this 1 think great ly exagg gerated, Not long since our town raised fifty dollars for tine pur- pose of having our county advertised in one of the western papers, which ] think was as thoroughly donc as

Timely Suggestions.
Farmers who do not wish to bt slaves should read and heed:

Farmers who do not wish to be slaves should read and heed:
 MoRELAND, Jan. l9, 1878. :.
 The farmers can now determine their realization from last years labor. They can compare the differ ent crops and see which are the most profitable to raise. Now is the time to decide what crops you will plant, and to make your arrangements ac- cordingly. This is progressive age, an age in which brain work is more in demand than ever before. If farmers don't think for themselves and use skill as well as industry they will wake up and find them selves in the rut. I am aware there are some live farmers in this county, but too many of them work without any system; they depend too much or the force of labor whether prop erly directed or not. Farming is q science which admits of mature thought as well as that of law, med icine, etc., and in order to make farming successful It requires con tinual study and skillful thinking.
 So far ss variety and kind of crops is concerned my limited acquaint- ance with this county will not justify my advice. l favor variety of crops as much as the soil and climate will admit and I would state by the way, that see nothing to prevent almost all the desirable crops of this zone being grown here successfully. l must admit my partiality to this country, but I would not allow that to influence me. It may be that that secret attraction which this country is said to possess for those who reside here certain time has some power on me, yet l think that favorable impressions are founded on realities.
 Lest this assumes the form of a lecture, Something I never attempt ed I will desist. I will state, how ever, that I would like to see more interest taken in schools. It seems to me that every neighborhood should have a fourishlng school this winter. Success has crowned almost every effort of the people the past year. In what way can we prove our grateful appreciation of the blessings bestowed upon us better than by building up and supporting good schools with our surplus? The educational interests of our county are too low. Who is at fault? Sup pose, Mir. Editor, that you set apart a column of your valuable paper for educational ltems-for the use of the teachers of the county. l think they would improve the opportunity to interest the people and benefit each other. GILES OPTIC.

<YOUR MONEY OR YOUR LIFE"
The Pistol and the Highway,
Look out for the Robbers.

One of the most daring robberies that was ever committed in Pope county was committed in Cum Log Valley on last Wednesday evening. Mir. Labe Cfites, a citizen of Gum Log Valley, carried a bale of cotton to RussellvilleN and was returning with his hard earned money, when he was abruptly halted by two ruff fans, who presented a pistol at his head and demanded his money. He gave them his pocket book which contained $40 in greenbacks and some little pieces of silver. They took out the greenback and threw back the book with the silver in it and said that they did not want that. This was done just at dark, the moon was shining brightly; Mir. Critics says that he did not know either of the parties. would warn the people to be very vigiIant in watching for the thieves and let them be captured and punished be- fore they commit any more thefts.
