-Our young friend Mr. Edgar Shinn, returned Monday from Bethany, W. i Va, where has been attending school the past year.
 We are delighted to record the fact that Russellville has gained another valuable citizen in the person and fam ! fly of Dr. II. P. Brewton, recently of Danville, Yell county. The Doctor was formerly a citizen of our county, and, we believe, of our town, but for the past twelve years has been citizen of Danyille. We welcome the Doctor back, and although it is "distressingly 1 healthy" here we trust that he may never find cause to regret again becom- | ing q citizen of Russellvllle.
 We would bring to the notice of our friends, as the season approaches for return of the dreaded disorder of "Chills and Fever" remedy which comes to us with highest recommenda- 1 tions of merit; we refer to "Hughes' Tonic." It is prepared by Messrs. R. A. Robinson & Co.,, Louisville, Ky. ,and is composed of such ingredients as will often when taken separately and alone give relief; wheii combined they are almost sure to prove q certain cure, the many favorable results bear testimony to this opinion, and the remedy is stead fly growing in favor. We advise you to get it at once and make trial of it. For sale by J. NJ. Harkey & Co.
 --TRIpLETs.-A short time ago Mir. James Logan was the happy husband of fond wife and the doting father of three children. But presto, change now he is the proud father of SIX chil- dren, his wife having just presented him with triplets-three bouncing girls, two five pounders and one four pound CT. Believing that such contribution to the immigration cause of our county deserves some recognition, we have placed Mrs. Logan's name upon our subscription book, and will take pleas ure in seeing that she gets the DEMO- GRAF regularly for the next twelve months.
 A most distressing accident occur red at the residence of MT. NJ. Jacobson last Thursday evening. About o'clock a little two-year-old daughter of Mir. J, who was in the yard playing got hold of some jimson plant, and child-like, commenced chewing the poisonous weed. As soon as 1t was known that the child had taken enough of the weed to poison it Drs. Hill and Pruitt were summoned and all that medical skill could effect was done to relieve the lit tie sufferer, but the poison had already entered the circulation and all efforts proved futile. The little sufferer ex- pired in great agony about o'clock next morning. Never did doctors try harder to save life, but alas twas all in vain. The distressed parents have the sincere sympathy of the entire com munity,

Wholesale GrOcers and Cotton Factors Who do a Large Bus mess and attract Trade to
 Memphis.


 The fame of this house has spread to the remotest parts of the country that trades with Memphis. For years it has been selling great quan- titles of groceries and cotton, but the past season has attracted more attention to the house than any for mer one, not only on account of in ducements offered to purchasers of groceries, but owing to the success tul manner in which they handled the cotton consigned to them. Their sales of cotton have run up to near ly fifty thousand bales, much of this staple having come from localities that never shipped to Memphis till this season. Their mammoth store IS now filled with a carefully selected stock of first-c class groceries, winch have been bought in such quantities as to enable them to sell at figures that obviate the necessity of country merchants sending farther than Memphis for their groceries and plantation supplies. Hill Fontaine & Co.,, are among the most enterpris. ing merchants in the south. They arc accommodating and liberal, and pay close attention to the interest of their patrons. Their store is at 296 and 298 Front street. Memphis Appeal.

Oh how that head does ache, and how dryi Some are sick-oh, so sick, and vomit, too, (not cologne ei- ther) and become so hot about the stom- ach. More water and better water, they cry. There is an infallible reme- dy for all such cases.

 Everything is moving along finely, all peaceably situated.
 Health is so good that the doctors have been compelled to start out to seek a living by other occupations. One is 80 hard up for a living he has gone to striking for the blacksmith at Cagles Mills. The other, who used to preach, has gone to swearing because he is asked for a just debt. Reader, examine these cases and let us contrib ute some means for their benefit.
 Crop time is now very near over and it is too late for the NJ. D.'s to make a crop. One says please bring by back band and singletree home; you have made your crop with them. The other says that he has lost $600 out of $200, and that is too much for one loss isn't it ? We are expecting wedding here soon. Would you like to have a piece of cake?
 There is one of the finest springs of good water at Cagle's Mills in the coun- try. Come out, Mir. Editor, and see for yourself. It is in nice, healthy local ity, and beautiful scenery. This little village is at the base of the Buck moun- tain, on east side.

FREDERIC, Sept. Sth, 1879.
Editors A odi0nche.-There seems to
be ''let up" TO our cool weather tenn
pered with plenty of moisture. Occa-
sional frosts biting deeper every time,
remind the farmer that he should care
for his corn fodder or his "bovines'
may suffer for the want of what other
wise will go to waste.
Corn stalks properly cured and cared
for make excellent feed for horses as
we'll as cattle. After it is thoroughly
cured it should be kept dry IL damp
ened with brine when fed il will more
readily be eaten and with less waste
Farmers will do well TO save all the fod-
der they can rake up this fall as hay
is liable to be high priced during the
coming winter; l understand that grass
in many placed is very light.
The productions of this part of the
county that were sent from'our station
with the intention of having them ex
hibited at the State fair, did not go
through in time. 1t is to be regretted,
yet the railroad company, with whom
the fault lies are the heaviest loosers.
We were all quite proud of what was
sent from here, and it would have re-
suited in the sale of considerable land
in this locality, by the railroad com
pany and others who have land for
sale if it had reached its destination in
season. Mr.. Arcly McCulam has
opened "A blacksmith spop at this place
and already the CHEEKY ring of his ham
mer at the anvil may be heard.

Where shall I seek a Home. South,
West or North?

This is a question that probably pro
pounds itself to very many young men
who are about To leave the parental
roof That venerable sage, Horace
Greely, said, ''go west, young man and
buy farm" Reading this the young
man naturally turns his attention to
Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska or Colorado.
lie reads flaming advertisements oSthe
great advantages, healthfulness of eli
mate, etc, of the south, principally
from Florida and Texas. But why do
we not hear more from Northern Mchi-
gan ?-H GRACE Greedy never went west
as IA farmer and was grasshoppered and
burned out by prarie fires, and blown
away. He went as IA tourist and saw
the advantages, the rolling praries ~
they appeared in passing through, but
did not see or seem TO see the disadNan-
tages OF the country, the destructive
fires, the howling winds which are
never weary, or the absence of EN-
ployment for those who are dependent
more or less upon their labor for their
subsistence. He did not advise young
men of the north to go south. He
knew that with their northern habits,
politics and ideas, that it would be
hazardous. He knew that il would be-
constant fear of the revolver and
bowie, to say nothing of the yellow
fever and other epidemics so prevalent
in the south. But if it is not advisable
for young men who are short of means
TO go south or west, what can be said
of Northern Michigan
If young man is accustomed TO
work, is energetic and industrious.
there is no better place he can go.
Here we have million, of acres whicn
want hands" Land can be bought at
from 81. 30 to 81 per acre, and often
with timber oil il that can be sold for
nearly enough to pay for the land, and
when cleared the land will produce
abundantly of all cerals, If properly put
in and titled and cannot be eXcelled
for all root crops. But the one great
advantage of this country over all is
that there is employment for all,
for fair remuneration. If
your crop should fail you have some
thing to depend upon to furnish you
the means TO procure the necessairies
of life. You have fuel and timber for
other purposes in abundance. which is
denied the pioneer OH the praries of the
west.
The woods abound in game and lakes
and rivers contain varieties of the tinny
tribe, including the sportive Grayling
lately becoming so popular.

ANOTHER OUTRAGE.
An Old Union Soldier Imprisoned for an
Act which Demonstrated his Loyalty iu
IS63---The Spirit OF Secession Stiil Rife.

lSO3---The spirit of Secession still Rife.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept. %. As proof
that the ex-Rebels are a. bitter against
Union men as at any former period,
the following case may be citei; Will
liam Beasley was a member of Com
pany L, Tenth West Virginia Infantry.
While visiting home on a furlough he
was assaulted on account of his Union
principles by tow men named Fox, and
in self-defense he wounded one of his
assailants. He was reported, tried. and
honorably aquitted by the court-mar-
tial. This was in 1868. A few days
ago, Fox having learned that all the
records of Beasley's court-martial had
been lost and destroyed, brought an
action for assault with intent to kill
ageinst the old soldier and had him
thrown into prison, leaving his ten
motherless children TO the mercy of
strangers. Being very poor, Beasley
was unable to procure counsel and the
Court refused to assign him one. not
remarkable thing when it is considered
that eleven members of that court
which condemned him were secession
lists, and three of that eleven ex-Coi.-
federate officers. An attorney who
volunteered to defend him was assault
ed by the Rebel element and prevent
ed from entering court. E.inlce, an
other Union veteran, is also languisl.
ing in the Virginia State Prison for an
offense of which he was legally acquit-
ted during the war. Beasley's case is
attracting considerable attention and
an effort will be made TO secure his re-
lease. The Clarksburg Telegraph heads
a subscription list for the benefit of his
chill lren.
