 AUTUMN.
BY MRS. J. E. TEACH.

On wonder distant mountains edge,
 A gleau of gold is faiutly seen; Iris autumn's unmistaken pledge,
 To fieck the foliage all between. Autumn, exquisite in ner gbise,
 Her luscious fruits exultant bring Spread them beneath the smiling skies, To mock the fertile fields of spring. The fruit matrred the perfect leaves, So soon are touched by winters
 breath;
 Too well we know that autumn weaves A beauteous filigree of death. Thns autumn crowns life's flcetisgS day , And distant views are dimly seen; For light and darkness fleck the way The cradle and the grave between. But there's light within the soul,
 That paints hope's bow in richer dies More beautiful than gleam of gold,
 A pledge to rest beyond the skies. RUssELLvILLE, October 10, 1879.

ID. ROTH'S EMPORIUM.
A Visit and an Interview.

Reporter. Roth, am the repre- tentative of our wide-awake paper, and for the benefit of our subscribers as well as your customers too, will you allow me to ask you few questions? E. Roth.-With pleasures; go ahead, you shall have all the information 1 am able to give you.
 Rep.-How is it that yoI succeed Tn business on a cash basis, when so many tried before you. and had to give it up as bad failure and you not on- ly succeeded, but your business is dali ly increasing, in spite of all competi- tion, prejudice and jealousy? E. R.-Well, that's hard to answer. believe success lays mostly on what principle man conducts his business. By selling strictly for cash, 1 do not honest men have to pay; in fact every to pay his own bill. l have to buy my goods at the lowest possible figures, and of course I have to be posted in markets to know exactly where to place my or ders, and what to buy to suit the tastes of my customers, and prevent keeping unstable goods in the house. By hon. est, strict attention to business, and take all in all, am able to keep up, and in fact, by buyIng goods in the right places, can retail goods at strict ! wholesale prices, and undersell every body.
 Rep.-What. You do not mean to say you sell goods at wholesale prices Where are your expenses, your living ; do not suppose you do business just for the sake of glory?
 E. R.--No, sir There is very little glory in business. Imean what say, -I have sold, and will sell goods at wholesale prices; and do not pretend l to be better than the balance, 1 like to make as much money as anybody-and do make it, too.
 Rep.-Please explain, that is a mys- tery to me,
 k. R.-Yes, sir. I sell goods in retail at wholesale prices, that is, in other words, just exactly what the goods cost in the market, and still make fair profit by it, only instead of making profits out of my customers, the job bers. have to foot the bills. l believe in selling goods, and by selling in 1 large quantities, l am able to buy goods in large lots, and by using the money in the right places, at the right tune, I command discount on goods to satisfy me, well only merchant
 well posted in business has an idea what big difference it is in buying goods. In conclusion I wish you to remark that am very grateful to all my patrons for their past patronage, and as long as they will assist me and patronize me, I will be able to conduct my business to their own and my own benefit.
 Rep.- Thank you! Good day. k. R.-Good day.

Northern OutrageS.

A Conneticut lady of strong but emotionally unsound mind, shot her husband while he was asleep the other day. The husband was preach CT and is to be feared democrat. But there is no legal remedy for political outrages in New England. There is a good deal of culture in public sen timent, but when a democrat is slain in cold blood by his wife, who IS a republican, is almost impossible to bring about conviction. The south should remember these things. They are calculated to bring the nation into disrepute.-[Atlanta Coustitu- Lion.

SUNDAY OBSERVANCE.

RUssELLvILLE, Ark, Oct. 13, 1879.
 MT. BATTENFIELD:-Will you allow me to call attention to a matter which ought to present itself, with interest, to every good citizen, The reputation of q place is favorably spoken of, in pro- portion as we see its law-makers and executors of law, guarding public nor als, by making and executing laws to protect the sanctity of the Sabbath. A man, who, in his business operations desecrates the Sabbath, not only vio- lates the most binding of law, both hu- man and divine, but he brings a re- proach upon the community in which he lives. It will not require much in- vestigation to produce the conviction that our town, though heretofore hav- ing the reputation of being moral place, is not free from this reproach. We will not enter into particulars, but if any one wants to convince himself that this is SC, that he may suggest ways and means to prevent it. let him occa- sionally, with his eyes open, take a stroll around town on Sunday, and he will see enough, at least, to make him a good witness before the next grand jury. I will here state, that our butch CTS have been in the habit of preparing their meats for Monday mornings mar ket, on Sabbath afternoon. They have justified themselves on the score of necessity. But am glad to state, that Messrs. Bradley & Ashmore, after doing their butchering ONCE on Sun day afternoon, became so thoroughly convinced that it was wrong, they plac- ed themselves under promise that they would not do so again; and to SUD- ply their customers with fresh meat on Monday morning, they determined to make the sacrifice to get up before day Monday morning and do their work. For this good resolution they deserye to be patronized and encouraged by ev- cry protesting christian, and lovet oi good morals. OBSERVER.
