ORANGE BLOSSOMS.

The Presbyterian church was the center of attraction last Thursday evening, or rather, the marriage which occurred there was the center of atti ac- ton. And the center of the center was the high contracting parties, Mir. Lem uel Gray, who led to the alter one of Russellyille's fairest flowers, his charming bride, Miss Leila Evans. The house was well filled with the friends of the parties, and strangers who casually dropped in to see the ceremony. Rev. - Reagan, of Oar daneIle, ofliciated. Misses Bene Gray, Jennie Moseley, Maggie Miller, of this town, and Miss - Luney, of Brink ley, were bridesmaids, and Mess. Will Miller. Really Doggett and James Moseley, of this town, and MT.

 --CoRpsE FoUND.-On last Friday, while riding through the woods down on Gala Creek, deputy sheriff Quinn discovered 8 corpse, cold, stiff and stark, and evidently life had been ex- tinct for several days--not 30 long however, but that it was clearly rec ognized as that of Mir. Mitch Wilson, a citizen and farmer of the Point Re- move country for many years. The corpse was found lying near and al- most in slough or swamp, and from the signs and surroundings it is sup posed that the unfortunate man had been drinking, and while perhaps in- toxicated to a degree destructive of his better judgement, had undertaken to ride across the slough, which ut that particular point was boggy, dangerous. His horse had evidently floundcred and struggled, and the rider Becoming unhorsed, and being benumbed with cold and disabled by liquor, died from cold and intoxication. Mitch Wilson, the deceased was well known in the county. He was considered kind hearted, hospitable man. honest and hard-working, and as well to do as the average farmer. His great fault was his enmity to himself, in the use of the intoxicating bowl. Let his sad ending, which is but one more link in the chain of human misery. and folly, and woe, and fatal misfortune, with which the demon of strong drink drags down it's victims, be warning to all.

ADisgracetul Spectacle.

Occasionally department report has been surreptitiously obtained and published before it's delivery to the proper authority; but never be. fore has an administration been com pelled to stand before the country to explain how it's two most important and sacred papers have been sold in the market It was sorry spectacle to see the report of Secretary Sher- man huckstered to speculative jour nals because it might advance or de press values; but when the full text of the presidents message is publish ed day in advance of the meeting of congress, the abuse of official trust passes all the bounds of tolerance.- Philadelphia Times.

TO OUR BUSINESS MEN.---A
 WORD FOR THE BOYS.

Our merchants and business men ought to close their stores and offices at eleven o'clock to-day, and give their clerks and employees chance to en- joy this world-round celebrated holi- day. 1t is right and proper that they should do so. Christmas comes but once year, and surely an employer who has employees under him can afford to let them, too, join in the fes- tivities and freedom from the monoto- nous duties of the whole year ~for this one day. There will be nothing lost by it. All will go to work and to business after the rest, with a renewed zest and regard for their employers which will more than make up for q lost day. Try it gentlemen.

Nine tenths of all the sickness of child hood is caused by worms. Thousands of children die yearly from worms in the stomach, that could be saved by the timely use of PARKERS SANTONtNE WORM LOZENGES. They have sav- ed thousands of children. They drive out the worms without pain-they cleanse the stomach, and make the lit tie ones bloom and blossom as the rose. They are the finest and best medicine ever made. Thousands of parents all oyer the land use nothing but PAR KER'S Lozenges. Try them in prefer ence to anything else for worms. Try PARKER'S Lozenges.

The Harrison Road.

The great importance of establish ing trade relations with the people ot northwest Arkansas, who now. do their trading at Sringhield, Mo, should not be lost sight of The people of RussellviIle haze gone to work with al and energy in the con- struction Of road from Russellyllie c to Harrison. They will be met Tn a few days by force from Harrison, and we hope in short time to an nounce the completion Of the road. Goes. dirt roads are like railroads and all other roads they require constant improvements and repairs. As we have said time and again the mer .Eants of Little Rock are equally interested with the people of Rus sellville and Harrison in the success of their enterprise. We want the cotton, four and bacon of the fruit ful region of northwest Arkansas, and they in exchange for fruits, live stock and other products need the merchandise which the wholesale merchants ofLlttle Rock can supply. To divert this trade from Springfield and throw it where it naturally be longs, it is necessary that onr rail road should offer the hest rates pos sible on freights, while our mer- chants, like those of Russellyille, should at once put their hands in their pockets, in aid of the road now in process of construction. Little by little our city has been reaching out it's whole sale trade, while it's ad- yantages as cotton market are year by year becoming more appar- ent. We can sell goods every year to the amount of hundreds of thous ands; we can buy produce that we need and, build up a trade which will De largely beneficial to both sections, If we will assist ln making transpor tation across the mountains easy and cheap. A little concentration of ef- fort on the part of our railroad and business men will secure rich prize that now goes to Mol. k. Dem ocrat.

 Mrs. Nellie Jacobs is lying very low and not expected to live.
 MT. Harrison Smith who had the misfortune to get his leg broke some time since, is able to be out. Glad to see him out again.

 A very lively meeting has been go- ing on here the past week, conducted by Rev. Matheuy and Prof. Jones. A deep interest has been taken in the meeting by many of the young people, and quite a number of conversions.
 Several families have recently come into this part from Tenn, and other par.s. They will rent lands for the next year, and speak of being well pleased with the prospects of this local ity. Every acre of land to be rented for another crop is or will taken forth with.
 Il have been authorized to say that the County Treasurer has been granted a twenty days leave of absence by the Clerk of the high court of Pope County and will be absent for that length of time on a trip to North Carolina. Not to the old Rip Van Wrinkle Tar Heel State of North Carolina, but to "North Carolina" in Pope County, to take Christmas, and will not take anything else, provided always, and upon the conditions that you do not keep things lying around loose.

 After heap of writing, figuring and calculating, the Clerk has comple- ted the tax-books for the taxes of 1879, and the same has been turned over to the Collector. Reese has filed his bond promptly, and will be around on time. So you can look out for the "stamps" necessary to make the exchange for the receipt.
