 THE RAIL IN MOTION.

"1'ry, try againt' This is the motto we have been trying In the Harrison and Russellville road matter, and we now have the pleasure of stating that the ball has been set in motion and we hope for good results.
 Last Saturday night, iu response to the call made hy the DEMOCRAT, meeting of the citizens was held, and although there were not a very large number present, there were earnest, active workers there, and their words showed that they meant business. It was decided to raise funds at onee by subscription from the property owners of the town to commence work on the worst places on the route. It was fur ther decided to ask the mayor to call a special meeting of the town council to lay the matter before them, and get an appropriation from the city.
 Tuesday night the council met by cali of the Mayor, and It was soon as- certained that our city authorities are "solid'' for the enterprise. The eoun- cilmen were unanimously in favor of putting the road through, and while they did not feel inclined. without some instruction from the tax-payers of the town to make an appropriation at that meeting, they would cheerfully do so at an adjourned meeting next Tuesday night if a petition to that effect should by that time be presented to them signed by . majority of our taxpayers. In the meantime it was determined to circulate the subscrip- ton paper and get all the voluntary donations that can be obtalned.
 We now have no doubt that there will be a sufficient sum of money raised to at least make all the bad places in the road good. Now let the people at the other end of the road move up in the matter, and the good work will be put through without fail. The ascent and descent of the mountain, particularly. needs work; and while our people are working on this side, let the friends of the enterprise on the north side of the mountain also be up and doing.

The New Orleans Picayune takes

The New Orleans Picayune takes an admirable view of the Democratic situation; in the following extract:
 We take it for granted that North ern Democrats know best how to win New York, Pennsylvania or Ono, and know best under what standard bearer to go into the fight. It will therefore be wise in Southern Demo crats to take good care not to embar- ras our Northern friends. The cam paign before them will tax their ut termost powers, and it is only far, right and just that they should have the choice of the champion Democ rat who is to lead them through a fierce struggle to a brilliant victory. Our Southern States will surely ra- tify. any, nomination the Northern Democracy may agree upon.

ANOTHER CANDIDATE FOR
 FEB WARDS HOTEL.

Last week Mir. W. k. Lowder missed mule out of his lot, and suspecting that some one had stolen it, he put hls wits to work at once to ferret out and apprehend the thief. Getting on the trail of stranger who had been seen in the neighborhood he followed him northward keeping easily on his trail by his description, notwithstanding he gave different name at almost every stopping point. At one place he gave his name as Little; at another as Smith :; and at another as Mitchell. His real name, however, is believed to be Edd Inman. In Searcy county Lowder overlook his man and "seooped" him up. He got back to Dover with him and turned him over to Sheriff HOgins last Friday and although he did not find the mule in his possession he as- certained where he had traded it off, and there is no doubt left but what he is .he right man. He will get trial at the present term of Court and will, in all probability, be put at more useful employment-say picking cotton or making brick for Mir. Feb. Ward.

SCHOOL AFFAIRS.

ATKINS, ARK, September %, 1879.
 Editor DEMOCRAT: 1 desire to ex- press my thanks to the Directors of Pope County for the promptness and accuracy of their Annual Reports.
 We notice large improvement over previous reports. The Free Schools of this county were never in better con- dition than now. Directors more will ling to work; teachers better qualified ; more children in attendance; and a disposition on the part of the people to have longer terms and better school houses. We hope soon to see our coun- ty equal to any in the state tor public schools.
 Within the last three years we have had fourteen new districts formed. Some eight or ten are to be formed du- ring the next year. We now number oyer four thousand children between the ages of six and twenty one. Seyer- al school houses to be erected this win ter. Occasionally we find man is far behind, when on his being awakened cries "Where's our money?" "Monar- chlcal Rings!' But the groundwork goes bravely on nevertheless!
 The Directors say they kh6w how to do their work because the DEMOCRAT keeps them posted. o. H. TUCKER.
 County Examiner.
