 (Will some of the readers of the DEMOCRAT, who profess to be gram marians tell us if the latter sentence in the above notice is grammatically correctly
 Memphis, according to cores pondent, "is the nastiest, dirtiest, and filthiest city in the United States, if not in the world; it ought to be indicted as national nuis- -ance." A recurrence of Che yellow fever is predicted next summer in the city by the same writer.-St. l.. Com. Gazette,
 We have not been in Memphis since the.fever there, but we have no doubt that the correspondent who wrote the above to the Commercial Gazette, is guilty of deliberately and wilfully perpetrating libel of the meanest sort on Memphis when he makes that assertion.
 For once party lines have been obliterated in taking vote in Con gress it was on tue right of Senator Bell, (republican) of New Hamp- shire, to seat in the Senate.
 He was appointed by the governor to fill vacancy, and the question was raised whether or not such an appointment could be made. It was decided in the affirmative, some democrats voting for his admission, and some republicans voting against it. Our senators were divided, one, Garland, voting for and the other against his admission.
 The editor of the Atkins News, MT. c. K. Toby,a practical farmer, of of vast experience, says he prefers german millet to any other grasses. He gives these reasons: "First. it is easier to get a stand of; secondly, it smoothers grass and weeds, and thirdly it yields larger crop. It ought to be sowed thick and cut be. fore the seed hardens, especially for horses. No one who owns cows can afford to keep them without hay-it is crop which no farmer should neglect, nor can he do so without loss."
 Fruit growing is very impor- tant branch of industry, and Arkan- sass is well adapted to the business. There is rapidly growing interest in this profitable and healthful branch of industry-more attention being given to it every year in every part of Arkansas. It is predicted that the fruit interests in our State, will, at no distant day in the future, be one of vast magnitude and impor- tance. "There's millions in it." and we hope to see rapid strides made in thls industry.
