FROM UNION.

MAY Sd. EDITOR DEMocRAT: As I have seen no items from Uncle Bill in your last paper l will offer few which I hope will not be ont of order.
 We have had very nice rain. We we were very glad to see it rain as everything was getting dry. 1 hear some talk of rust on wheat; corn looks very well; cotton is not ready for work yet; farmers are getting along very well, but some of the lazy ones will go a fishing once in while.
 We organized Sunday school at Union last Sabbath; Rev. r. W. Austin was elected Superintendent.
 John Keener and Liney keener are now living together again.
 As much as Uncle Bill has written about two of our young men, we would dirict them to his house, as we believe he and his girls are all under sixteen. He had better go to raising fried chickens.
 Uncle B. give our young folks fits about going to Boston. He ought to let them alone; they will get all right next summer in the big reviyals. 1 suppose they think it's no harm to play four prisoners in ring if the preacher don't see them.
 We suppose the most of our young ladies don't like coffee; 1t seems that Miss Mollie Blackburn likes coffee, even without sugar.
 There are bright prospects for a wcd- ding at James Oates between Mr. - and Miss Mollie; nothing strange to pass on Sabbath evening and see him lying on the porch.

THE FIRST DAY OF MAY
 POSTPONED.
X Glowing event with the Dawn
 ing of a New Day.
The Church Bells Ring out the Glad Tidings of a Celebrated day, and the Children Fx- ult at the Ushering in
 of d May-Day.

Tho 1st of May, as our readers are all we'll aware, was day of bitter dis appointment, and especially to our nu- merous religious germs, the Sunday school scholars. But their faintinghopes were revived upon hearing the assur- ance that they should not be- entirely overcast with disappointment, and ac- cordingly the 2nd of May was ushered in with all the pomp and ceremony in- tended for it's predecessor. The day was bright and shining, and not sim gle cloud darkened the azurey sky, the causeway that leads to the generally soul" as the church bells ruug out the glad tidings of celebrated day, and the banners of the Union, Baptist, and Methodists South and North Sunday schools, swung in lucid folds over the heads of 270 aGherents of the advancing ensign, the flower of civilization, the pride of the religious cause and the victorious march of the followers of i living God. The picnic grounds east of our little city was the scene of this happy occasion, and at II o'clock am. as your reporter arrived on the grounds, the above named gentleman was far into the heart of nis oration, which was in- teresting and beneficial as well as a sharpener for the capacities of most of us. Dinner came in due time and with a great relish. But owing to the in- clemeney of the weather the day pre- vious, many took advantage of their forethought and preparation, and on this memorable day were minus the essentials that formed the subject mat ter of glowing theme. But charity prevailed unanimously, and disinter- ested and sef-sacrifieed feeling, as far as providing m abundance for self, reigned supreme. Croquet was in per- feet harmony with the occasion, swing ing to "heart's ease," and Boswell & Erwin's ice-cream, &c., in readiness at all times to cool the throbbing heads and palpitating hearts of the many par ticipants in that days pleasures. We feel safe in saying that tue day was en- joyed in the superlative degree by all, and shall long be remembered.

The Latest Invention in Useful
 Household Articles.

Within the last few years there has been expended q great deal of inventive thought and genius upon what may properly be classed as household arti- cles, 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 woman's s work made easier.
 The newest thing to challenge our attention and gladden. the heart of the housekeeper, Is, what is called the Novelty Brush Holder, Carpet Stretcher and Sweeper, Il very simple cOntriyauce designed to firmly hold in position any kind of q brush or duster; having all extension handle that enables one to wash or dust windows, walls or ceilings without the aid of Il step ladder. That is one of it's cOnYcniences, and is also one of the best carpet sweepers in the market, holding the brush firmly an angle. It cleans the carpet thoroughly, raises no dust and does not wear the carpet like the ordinary broom or brush and will outwear a 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 stretchcr alone 1t is worth it's cost, as g carpet of any size can Toe 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 msnulac- 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 inc terested, and we predict for it a large sale. Every housekeeper in the land will want one.
 Any reliable lady or gentleman wish ing remunerative employment, would do well tO secure the agency for this county, which can be done by enclosing a stamp for descriptive circular and terms, to BROWN N CO.,,

We have just received 2 letter from one ofour leading ministers in Ar kansas, man of most absolute in tegrity and of sound judgement, man not easily excited, that another assassination has taken of one of our ministers. Rev. W. NJ. Todd, re. cebtly appointed to the charge of our work in Brinkley, Arkansas, was waylaid and shot in cold blood, while returning from church on the even ing of NJ arch 27th. His only offcnse was preaching the Gospel of Christ. The same letter also informs us that Rev. l. G. Pollard, F. F., of the White River district, of Little Rock conference, has also been cast into prison for the same ohensc. Bro. F. was also guilty of rising out of the ignorance of Arkansas some years ago, and pressing his way to Evans ton, where he secured fair prepara- tiou for his work. He is an energct- ic, heroic, devoted maa. Comment on these crimes is unnecessary. With the return of power to the old rebels we must expect the old crimes and murders and assassinations. Blu el is likely to have his crown shared by other heyoes.--New York Chris tan Advocate.
 We, the undersigned members of the jury of inquest in the case of the arrest and the shooting of the Rev. Mr. Todd, in the town of Briukley, Ark, have interrogated the promi- nent witnesses, Reys. Mr. Pollard and Decker concerning the forego- ing paragraph, Mir Pollard denied any authenticity. MT. Decker ac- knowledged writing the letter from which the foregoing was distorted, that the language was not his" We have found no evidence of assassina- ton; that he was not shot for prcac- hing the gospel; that the Rev. 1. G. Pollard was not cast into prison ,that the whole article IS dlsproyed by the facts as elici.ed by the evidence is slnr upon the people of the State, and Q preiudiccd and malicious tis- sne of falseApods from beginning to end.

That the said Wm.

A. Hos kins, who shot him while running from arrest; and we believe the sub sequent exposure in Cache Bottom, without food or medical attention, caused his wound to assume such q fatal character.
