 Deputy Sheriff Quinn, with Mollie White, one of the prisoners who got change of venue to Johnson county, in charge, went to Clarksville Monday. Since the two principal thieves have escaped-the villains who inveigled this poor frail creature into becoming an accomplice in their crime--we cam not help but feel little sympathy for the poor girl. Nevertheless, If she be found guilty let her suffer the penalty of her crime.

 A ScouNDREL WELL KNOWN IN PoPE CouNTY.-"There is man named Williams living in respectable family among them grown girls, about four miles from this place, who came Tot long since from Pope county, in this State, where he taught school and mar ried. He left his young wife and one child there, We can give names of respectable gentlemen to identify the man. Is it not q crime to sail under an alias rH--Ft. Smith New Era.
 All of which is true, and a respecta- ble ia nily is doing poor business, in deed, to be harboring such scoundrel as Butler, alias Williams. The graceless rascal had better come back to his wife.
 We feel it duty to warn our brethren of the press against Cincin- natl firm doing business under the name and style of 'sThe Ohio Scale Works" Weare thoroughly convinced that this company is a fraud of the first water. Had this company complied with their contract with us, they could have secured an agent in this county, but the agent very wisely concluded that firm that would defraud the printer, was one to be let severely alone. We hope this may meet the eye of other agents in time to save them from being imposed upon by this bogus concern.
 --frhe citizens of Chicago do not think all the fools are dead yet. Last week we received VERY LIBERAL prop osition from C.. A. Cook & Co.,, adver- Using agents, to advertise for a "snide" concern, called the Meriden Britannia Go. They propose to let us have for s75, "one tripple plated table set, half cash and half advertising" Mir. Cook, your proposition is too fair. What have we done for you that yon need want to be so good to us? Your liberal proposition forces us to believe that you are ''tripple plated' dead-beat. We would not give you. one inch of our space one week for forty sets of your "tripple-plated" trash when we could buy it at dollar store for two-bits q carload. Oh, no, MT, Cook, you need send us no more of your dead-beat positions.--Atkins News.
 How much better, Bro. Bell, is the new ad. in your paper, "New Wilson Oscillating Shuttle Sewing Machine?" We, too, received c. A. Cook & Co.,. s proposition, but didn't accept. We likewise received Mir. Kirby's proposi- tion to advertise the "Oscillating Shut tie Sewing Machine" but we consider ed it just about as unfair as the Britain mia ad., and hence we rejected it. WE have come to the conclusion that other publishers who want to starve and sus- pend eau have all such ads. So far as the DEMOCRAT is concerned WE ARE Es- TABLIsHED we know, as we'll as those advertising agents, what our space is worth, and if they want space in our paper they must pay a fair considera- tion for 1t.
