DOVER HAPPENINGS.

By one of our Reportorial Corps.l
 Nice rain last night.
 Circuit Court still in session.
 Wheat heading out in this locality.
 Don't fret Bro. Rye, we won't steal your thunder.
 Tho temperance movement is being strongly agitated here. Prof. Mcln- tosh has been giving a series of lectures on this subject, and contemplates organizing a lodge of the Friends of Temperance soon.
 The genial Captain J. W. Buckner, formerly of the l.. K. & F. $. K. w., but now connected with the Pine Bluff and New Orleans Road, was in town during last week. Buckner says he would come back and spend the sum- mer if the young lady had given him any encouragement. Personally we would be glad to see you Captain, but some of the boys would rather not, and we don't blame them.
 We are sorry to report the death of Mrs. Falls, wife of our efficient County Treasurer, who died on the 9th, of con sumption. She was an estimable Christian lady. We deeply sympathize with Mr. Falls in his bereavement, but such is life, tone by one we cross the river"
 --Thirty-two indictments found by the grand jury at the present term of Court, against eighty-four the term be- fore. A good showing for Pope County.
 ID. F. West of our town has as fine clover as can be grown anywhere in America. Why don't our farmers raise nore of this and less cotton? One acre of clover will bring more money than two of cotton and with no labor at all scarcely. Farmers never will make farming a success until they turn more attention to the grasses, and the sooner they begin the better. Let those who think Arkansas will not pro- duce clover equal to any State come and look at AIr. Vests and be con. l vinced.
 Quite an interesting suit is now in progress in our Circuit Court. MT Robert Miles of Alma, Crawford Co. has sued the r.. R. tS F. s. K. k. fol one hundred thousand dollars for inju. ries sustained by him while shipping g car of cattle over this road, by the cal being thrown from the track. Mir Miles will likely secure verdict fol damages, but what amount we cannot say. The case will probably go to the l Supreme Court before it is settled.

 Whereas, It pleased the great ruler , of the universe to remove from our midst by death on the 10th day of March, 1878, Brother Frank Thach, and, I Whereas, By his death his family, the fraternity, and the community have sustained great loss, yet from testimony left behind we have a hope that our loss has been his eternal gain :; l therefore, be it

TOrtures that need not be En-
 dured.

People suffer great deal of pain un- necessarily. Among tortures that need not be endured are those afflicted by the rheumatism and gout, since the acrid element in the blood which pro- duces them by contact with the sensi- tive covering of the muscles and joints may be eliminated by the use of that matehless depnrent, Hostetters Stom- ach Bitters, before the iaflammatory symptoms are developed to any great extent. When 1t is considered what excrntiating tortures it inflicts, and what ten lency 1t has, when fully de- veloped, to attack the heart, the advisa- bility of an early use of such reliable antidote becomes at oncs apparent. The rheumatic virus Is expelled from the blood by the increased action of tho kidncys--which act as strainers --pro- dnced by the Bitters, and the sufferer will find, if he uses this supreme de. iensiyeagent, that he will be protected against a return of the agonizing com plaint. Dyspepsia, fever and ague, liver and bowel complaints and other maladies, are also cured by this admir- able remedy,

A Gentle Hint.

! In our style of climate, with its 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- rectly from this cause. A bottle of Boschee's German Syrup kept about 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 0. the Throat or Lungs, it's success is s.m- ply wonderful, as your druggist will tell you. German Syi up is now sold in every town and. village on this conti- nent. sample bottles for trial, 10c. {; regular size ,75c. For sale by J. M. Harkey & Rro.

Through sympathy for poor dis. tressed woman, mourning the sepe ration from lost son, we publish the following;

DOVER, April 3, 1878.

DOVER, April 3, 1878.
 Gen, Simon F. Hughes opened the campaign with speech of abou. an hour. He is a gentleman very we'll known throughout this county, and one of no mean ability, looks to be about fifty years old, and l would take him to be a native ol Georgia from his looks, though I think he has been in this State for Q number of years. He claims to belong to no particular faction of the Democratic party, and can't boast of having enough relatives in the State to elect him, but thinks that he can beat the Hon. Thos. Fletcher and all his rela, tives. He shows up Gov. Miller and the finance board m rather bad light and says that honesty and in tegrity are not all the prerequisites that man. should have to make q good governor; he thinks that Gov. Miller has made mistakes and usurp- ed powers that did not belong to his office unintentially; called out the Legislature in Scott county when the legislature was in session; order ed Col Falconer from Sebastian county with posse to Scott county, all of which Gen. Hughes thinks was a great error; and that the people chose Governor Miller over Royston, Turner, Bell and others because they seemed to think that all they had to do to get out of their financial troub les was to elect w. R. Miller, and now they seem to be no better off ti- nancially than they were two years ago. He could appreciate John D. Adams, motive Tn working up the fl. nance as he was an old citizen and noted for his patriotism, but he could not see why Redfield yankee from Connecticut should take so much in terest in our affairs if there was no pay in it, He wished the State debt investigated and wanted to pay all legal indebtedness.
 Col. Tom Fletcher came to the front next. He is very well known throughout the State and is hand some and iovial old man; would take him to he about B years old, and a native olthls state. lIcsaya that he

c. E. BURNEY.

In our column of Announcements this gentleman informs the voters of Pope County that he is candidate for Coun- ty and Probate Judge. Esq. Buruey has made his metal known while hold ing various official trusts while among us, and we dare say there are few men who have come up nearer to full and conscientious discharge of all the duties of the positions he has held than him, That MT. Burney is qualified for the position for which he has announced himself no one will gainsay, and we doubt not he will have many warm supporters in this race.

Unfortunate shakes

Are those which make drug shops of our stomachs, and then not cured. Many of us can't afford to lose so much time and money without benefit, hence we are compelled to look around and find out an Agle remedy that will cure the quickest ard keep the ehills off the longest with the least medicine. Such remedy is cheapest, and such reme- dv is Days Ague Tonic, which does all the work to be done in the perma- nent cure of chills. It cleanses the stomach, arouses the liver, opens the bowels, destroys all malarial poison, restores peace and comfort to your aching limbs and bones, and sends the cbills "where the woodbine twineth. ]"

R. B. WILSON,

Still they come. This time it is the gentleman whose name heads this arti- cle who infoams the voters of Pope county that he wants to serve them ii the capacity of County and Probate Judge. Judge Wilson is citizen of exemplary life, a rising attorney at the bar and has just been appointed County and Probate Judge by the Governor to fill out the unexpired term made vacant by the demise of the lamented late Judge Thach. We believe him tc be fully qualified for the position.

In the proper place in to-day's paper will be found Mir. K. B. Hogins' an nouneement stating that he is a candi- date for reelection. Pope County has never had a better Sheriff than Mir. Hogins has made us. We have yet to hear of the first complaint against him for any cause whatever since he was elected two years ago. Not only has he made a good Sheriff but also an ex- csllent Collector. He seems 10 be the very man for the place and we think he will have an easy "walk over' in the race this year.
