A MAN DROWNED.

Last Sabbath about twelve o'clock Richard Youngblood, negro, livingon the Smith farm, in Yell county, at tempted to cross the Arkansas Biver in front of tie Brown farm in Holly Bend and unfortunately missed the crossing.

EA(yrnRY GIRLS


 And all others who live closely con- fined life and take but little outdoor exercise are very much endangered. Many girls in their teens are compelled to work in such places and thus com promise their health at the most criti- cal period of their lives. Their cheeks soon become pale and bloodless, the eyes are dim and languid, their brain is dull. They complain of headache, pain in the back and joints, loss of ap- petite, they are cross and fretful, have hysterical symtums and are losing strength daily. If this condition is not remedied you will beeomes a feeble, careworn wreck, unfit for any of the duties of life. But you can be cured while at work, by the use of English Female Bitters, powerful female res torer and tonic.
 A ACONSTIPATED HABIT Is quite difficult to cure, if you lead q closely confined life. The habit should not be permitted to run into q chronic condition. It is apt to occur among sewing women, clerks, students, pro fessional men, etc. This condition leads to headache, acid stomach, heart burn, biliousness, levers, indigestion, loss of appetite and many other diseas- es.
 Bailey's Sallne Aperient will relieve you of all the above troubles, while as a purgative it is cheap and the most pleasant medicine you ever used.
 It cleanses and cools the stomach, opens the bowels and regulates the flow of bile.
 VENI, VIDI, VICI.
 So it is within the hearts of the peo- pie so speaks that wonderful Days Ague Tonic. Its equal has never been known for the immediate eradication of all species of chills and fever. The cures are prompt and permanent. The remedy contains no delerterious drug; produces no unpleasant symtoms; is pleasant to ell stomachs; is powerful ana never failing antiperiodie; eleanses and tones the stomach; opens and im- proves the bowels; unloads the torpid liver opens the pores of the skin; cures every species of malarious diseases; all without the use of any other medicine. If you have a case of chIlls; periodi- cal headache, q severe sun-pain a pro tracted neuralgia, tIy Days Ague Ton ic, it never fails.

We'll Do It.

The Republican leaders having shown the way in which defeated candidate may be mustered into the Presidential office, itss not unhatur- al that their organs should accuse the Democracy of contemplating the same thing in the spring of 1881. Hut there is no accassion to dread that sort of retribution. The Democ- ratio party propose to elect the next President, as it did in 1876, and having elected him, it intends to put him in possession of his office at whatever cost.-W ashington Post.

Something New Under the Sun.

The use of paper as material for tires and also for the wheels of rail road cars, where something very stout is required, now has become an old story; but some of the marvel it first excited may we'll be transfer red to a new use of glass for the slaepers of railroad tracks, As . fact, glass, tonghened under the re cent process, is used at Stratford- England for railroad sleepers, tn C upper side being grooyedst to hold the rail. These sleepers are cheap and certain not to rot. We sometimes fancy the surprise of our great-grand- fathers, in coming to life again from the stage. coach era, to find the earth girdled with tracks for steam loco motion. We need not go so far back we need only imagine the wonder of more recently bygone genera. ton at finding rowboats and car wheels made of paper, and railway, ties of glass.--NeS York Sun.

PIsGAH PARAGRAPHS.

ED. DEMOCRAT: Since I last wfote to you all has been quiet; everybody seems to be in good humor.
 Weather dry and very fine for gath ering corn ard cotton. have lived here nearly thirty-six years and during that time never saw the people enjoy better health than at present.
 The average boy now goes to the cotton patch singing "I'm going away tomorrow" while the old man medi- tating on the low price of cotton thinks to himself "I'll go west"
 The only trouble that I know of just now is everybody wants their cotton ginned right now and can't get it done, although every ginner is doing all he can to accommodate all.
 "Can't you give me some good pa pers to read ?' is what man said to me the other day. I answered "Yes," " but told him to subscribe for the DEM ocRAT and then he could keep posted. 'I never have time to read papers and don't care anything about politics any way ," never dreaming that papers pub fish many things of interest outside of politics. The same man went to the land office at Dardanelle taking his witnesses along to make final proof of his homestead entry and paid ferriage for all and did nothing because no mo- tice had been given through your papar. Now, sir, the point is clear. Had he been a reader of your valuable paper he would have saved his ferriage money, time, trouble, and a second trip. This is only one among many cases of this kind; every man should have a paper of his own and pay for it, too. Don't borrow a paper, gentlemen; buy it, pay for it, and then read it. Re- member, .'He :hat goes borrowing of ten goes sorrowing."
 wonder what has become of your correspondents ''Fifty-six" and "Sub," " and our friend on Piney, they all wrote good letters. Come, let's "anty up." THrRTY-FIvE.

The paper will be published un- der the supervision of a Conference Publishing Committee. H. J. Newell, <, A. M., will act as editor until the next meeting of the Arkansas Conference. We understand complete office will be purchased and set up at some point on the Ft.
