l LITTLE MOCK, MarcH ~, lo1o. | At meeting of this committee, held pursuant to adjournment, in the Clty of Little Rock, March 20, l1S7S, it was resolved by the commit tee that a Convention of the Demo cratic party of the State of Arkansas be called to assemble at the City of Little Rock, on Thursday, the 4th day of July, 1878, for the purpose of nominating candidates for the State offices to be voted for at the general election to be held on Monday, the 2d day of September, in said year, and for the transaction of such other business as may be deemed advis- able. ea8 | It was resolved by the committee that the basis of representation in said Convention, and until said Con- vention may otherwise order, shall be one vote for each 400 votes, and one vote for such fraction over 200 ! votes. as cast for William K. Miller, candidate for Governor at the last election, held on the 4th September, 1876.
 And inasmuch as 1t has been the practice heretofore to send from the counties adjacent to the place of holding the Convention large num- bers of delegates, who, by the moral weight of their numbers in excess of the votes to which they arc entitled, give advantage over the distant coun- ties in the choice of candidates, and thereby produce confusion in the l Convention and want of harmony in the party, it was resolved by the committee that the number of dele gates allowed to the several counties should be limited to the number of votes which they are entitled to cast in the Convention; in compliance with which action of the committee, hereby announce that the Demo- cratic State Convention, at the time named by said committee, to,wit, the 4th day of July next, will meet at the city of Little Rock, and, upon the basis established above, the sev- eral counties will be entitled to the number of votes and delegates fol lowing, to-wit:

OF the system. The chemistry of the
apple, the pear, the tomato, the
grape, etc, is well understood, and
it can be stated how much nutriment
or assimilable food each is capable of
affording; but this does not answer
all the questions connected with the
subject of the healthfulness of fruit.
Besides furnishing nutriment, fruit

Cow CHoKING.-A veteran farmer
told me recently of method of re
lieving choking COW, which was
new to me, but which he assured me
was unfailing. 1t was worthy of
trial at any rate. A round switch,
two or three inches in diameter, and
six or eight inches long, is put into
the cows mouth, like a bit into a
horses mouth; string is then fast,
ened to each end Of the stick, and
tied to the horns or up over her
head. This forces the COW to keep
her mouth open and allows the gas
which forms in the stomach and is
the cause Of the severe pain and
rapid swelling which accompanies
choking IN COW, to escape. The
effort of trying to free her mouth Of
the unusal incumbrance is the best
help toward freeing the passage ol
the throat. If the trouble is not re.
moved in this way, the COW may be
kept alive until help is obtained for
trying other means for her relief. In
such cases time is of great impor.
tance. He assures me he has seen
his plan tried in many cases, and in
none had it failed of a complete cure
in less than half an hour.

roll it in plenty of flour. Put some
slices of salt pork in IA frying pan
and when the fat is fried out remove

and watching them carefully that
they do not bum. When done ar.
range them on hot platter. Pour
a pint of milk-part cream is better
into the frying pan and when it

parsley; stir constantly, and when
the gravy boils pour it over the

HORACE oREELEr as 4 BonRowEH.

Much has been said concerning Greeley's
folly in lending such enormous sums to worth
less applicants who only repaid him with in
gratitude. This was remarkable weakness,
but it may to certain degree be explained.
Greeley was, during the first seven years of
his New York life, a poverty stricken adven-
turer who failed in every effort. He had
many hopes Of making the New Yorker a
success, and, indeed, it was the best weekly
paper ever issued in that city, but it was
swamped by the hard times which followed
the the panic of 1887. In 1910 he found him.
self without dollar, and was glad to engage
in the service of the Wing party as editor Of
the Log Cabin.
The salary was $20a week for six months,
which was considered very liberal pay. When
the campaign was over Greeley determined to
start the Tribune but unfortunately he had
no capital. He tried every way possible to
obtain moneyed partner, but was unsuceess-
full. McElrath had few hundred dollars,
and at last Greeley was glad to accept him,
especially as he was ready business man.
When all other applications had failed the
ambitious editor remembered noted resident
of Jersey City who had large resources, and
he determined to try another effort He
therefore made call on this man (the late
Dudley S. Gregory and having mentioned his
case, asked for the loan OF $1,000. Alternate
hopes and fears moved his breast, he saw Gre
CORY fill up a check for the amount, and the
editor departed with light heart. This loan
enabled him to start the Tribune, which was
the great success of his life and gratitude SO
wrought upon him that he determined never
to refuse any similar application. This rule
not only bound him permanently, but its
power SO increased that at last he lost all
ability to refuse. He paid Gregory with his
first earnings, and after that he lent inds-
criminately to all who cared to bleed him.
Whenever loan was solicited he always re-
called the scene when he, too, was borrower.
He remembered how he then felt the immense
Importance Of those little words yes and no.
Had Gregory uttered the latter, the Tribune
might never have been more than young
editors dream. That fatal word, however,
was not spoken, and Greeley ever afterwards
followed Gregory's example, though it cost
him nearly one hundred times the amount of
the original loan.
