Hog Cholera.

The following receipt for hog cholera, which originated with the Lewistown Gazette, of Fulton coun. ty, Illinois, haslbeen travelling around among our exchanges, and may prove benefit to our farmers "Eyery paper in the United States ought occasionally to keep the fact before its readers that burnt corn is certain and speedy cure for hog cholera. The best way is to make q pile of corn on the cobs, ..effcctually scorching it, and then give the affected hogs free access to. it. Thisi remedy was discovered by K. K. Locke, at the time his large distillery was burned in this county, together with large lot of store corn, winch was so much injured as to be unfit for use, and was haul ed out and greedily eaten by the hogs, several of which were dying daily. After the second day not a single hog was lost, and the disease entirely disappeared. The remedy has been tried in number of cases since, and never failed"

FROM BIG PINEY.
BIG PINEY, PoPE Co.,, ARK., May 18th, 1879.

may loCn, lc(o. MR. EbfToR; To my regret I notice in the RnssellyiIle DEMOCRAT a decision of the county court in regard to the Coudty Seat matter. For my own con venience, &c., 1 would rather the Co. Seat would remain at Dover; but when man cannot get his first choice, my motto is to let him take second choice.
 If it does not intrude upon space and time in your valuable paper, I would like to speak through the columns of your paper to whom it may concern.
 Citizens of Pope county, the County Court has ordered an election to take place on 20th June, 1879, to locate the County Seat between Russellville and Atkins. It is high time VIC were ask ing ourselves which place we should vote for. will tell you which place think we ought to vote for, and give my reasons for it; but I am nothing but poor humble citizen and don't claim to be capable of giving advice, but merely ask you to take 1t for what 1t is worth:I expect to vote for Rus sellville, 1st, because it Is nearer than Atkins; 2nd, it will save the people several hundred dollars if it should be located at Russellville instead of Atkins, for the citizens of Russellville have donated land to the county for site, also donated twenty-five hundred dol lars to help build Court House; Sd, it Is also nearer the center of the popula- ton of the county. It is said by some, vote for Atkins, for the citizens of Russellyille have taken great stand against Dover. Let us ask ourselves why they did tif they did); was 1t be- cause they were prejudiced against the citizens of Dover, and our portion of the county? or was 1t fol. their own inter- est? We up here voted for Dover, for what: was 1t because we were preju- diced against the citizens of Russell vile? I answer and say no, 1t was be- cause we wanted to vote for our own conveniences and interest. Let us for argument sake. admit that the citizens of Russcllville did vote against Dover because they were prejudiced against certain persons, &c. they have beat us, now let us not cut off our own nose to spite our own face, and vote against our own interest, probably for all time to come. Let us not be humbugged by some who. probably, will move to At kins If they can only get the County Seat there, and leave us the bag to hold with both ends open. Respectfully,
 JAS. s. LiNzY.

PISGAH CHURCH, May 2O.
 EDITOR DEMOCRAT As I have not seen anything from our neighborhood I have concluded to write and let the people know how we do, and of our affairs.
 The weather is very fine and farmers are making use of it. Corn all plowed over the second time, and looks fine since the cut-worms have left; they took to themselves wings and now tra vel between the heavens and the earth; they dId considerable damage to the crop of corn and cotton, also to gardens.
 The people are busy working out their cotton and where 1t was planted early it looks we'll.
 Wheat--oh, what shall we say about it. Let's see: some people say 1t looks fine, and 1t does, too; for if twas just little finer (on old land) we couldn't t see it at all; on fresh land 1t looks like it would make full crop, but 1t has some rust on the blades.
 The oats crop looks fine, though not very much sowed.
 Mir. John King has been very sick, but we are glad to say he Is up again. Johns good blacksmith and the pco- pie need him.
 Mir. Rushing of Potts Station is putting up new store at that ptace, and will soon have to call it ''town" for they are putting on the town airs.
 We'll, Bro. Fifty-Six, you may just as we'll pay over that two-bits (well, a quarter would do) for Jim's going to publish the delinquent tax list just as sure as he gets it, and that's sure, for Bayliss will send it down. Right here Jim we want to say, we admire your pluck and energy in this matter. But we DO think you should have more pay than just simply "Uncle Toms" two bits. Oh, ye legislatorsl how your DOCTRINE needs DocroRIsa. Yours,

The Latest Invention in Useful
 H0useIrOld Articles.

Within the last few years there has been expended great deal of inventive thought and genius upon what may properly be chased as household arti- clcs, the most noted result of which are the production of the sewing machine, the wringer, the washing machine, the carpet sweeper, &c. Almost every week we chronicle the advent of some new invention by which the cares and labors of housekeeping are lessened, and woinan's $ work made easier.
 The newest thing to challenge our attention and gladden. the heart of the honseii..55:s;,Gi ;;,Gi, is, what is called the Novelty Brush Holder, Carpet Strcteher and Sweeper, q very simple contriyance designed to firmly hold in position any kind of brush or duster; having an extension haudle that enables one to wash ordust windows, walls or ceilings without the aid of a step ladder. That is one of it's conyeniences, and is also one of the best carpet sweepers in the market, holding the brush firmly an angle. 1t cleans the carpet thoroughly, raises no dust and does not wear the carpet like the ordinary broom or brush and will outwear dozen brooms. As handle for the scrubbing brush it is the best device ever made, no more kneeling on the floor, no more back aches or sore fingers.
 As carpet stretcher alone it is worth it's cost, as a carpet of any size can be laid evenly without any of the labor and yexation usually attending such work. It Is strong, simple, thoroughly made, cannot get out of order, has no screws, lever or hinges, Is compact, cheap and durable.
 It is manufactured by Brown & Co.,, Cincinnati, the well known manufac- turers of useful household articles, and is sold only by their agents to house. keepers. The real utility of this article will at once be seen by those most in- terested, and we predict for it large sale. Every housekeeper in the land will want one.
 Any reliable lady or gentleman wish ing remunerative employment, would do we'll to secure the agency for this county, which can be done by enclosing a stamp for descriptive circular and terms, to BROWN & CO.,,

ARKANSAS SMAMPS.

Many pale-face individuals who re- side near these swamps and chill breed- ing cess-pools of malaria are known to be sufferers from ehills by their very appearance. They have used quinine and other chill medicine until it seems q mockery. They soon become chronic and are then almost impossible to cure. Such cases are easily and immediately cured by the use of Days Ague Tonic, the most powerful antiperiodic and blood cleanser now before the public. It acts directly upon the secretions.

It is absolutely demanded that the mental and physical laws of our nature should be kept in equilibrium, System and order must be recognized as funda. mental, and departure entails sick ness, disease and death, as penalties To be healthy, beautiful and buoyant the whole constitution must maintain regular action in all its component parts. A female who imprudentlv ex- poses herself and becomes prostrated with headache, pain in the back, fever irregular or suppressed monthly action with constipation and loss of appetite must be restored to regular action, must be re-vitalized, recuperated at once, and for this very purpose nothing equals Dr. Dromgoole's English Fe- male Bittcrs.

went to him and had the courage to
become his wife.
The people of Burlingame learned
to love the gentle mistress of the old
