Farming is in order.

MT. D. F. West started two blows this morning. Also, Mir. Jo Petty is driving business with vim.
 The venerable sage. Mir. David West, is in town to-day. The Maj. is looking very well considering his ad- vanced age. He celebrated his eighty seventh birthday on the 9th ut.
 Friend J. W. Dickey and Dr. B. F.. Wilson of Atkins, were in town last week. Mr. D. and two other bales of cotton left for Russellville. The Dr. still remains and is finding work to do. V-Quite number of immigrants stopped in the vicinity some days ago looNng for homes, and suituble point for schooling purposes. They hail fro n Woodruff county, and left to-day for Fayetteville.
 MT. Martin Parkes, son of George Parkes was shot at from the brush by an unknown party a few days since. Times are red hot in that quarter, and still heating.
 Ut is we'll known fact the worst road now in use is the foot way, or side walk to the post office. If the same is not soon put in better order the foot travel to that office will be com pelled to follow the ex-mail carrier through the other way.
 There were one hundred and thir- ty marriage licenses issued in Pope county for the year 1878. Four of the above number being returned unexe- cuted. A falling off of thirty-five from the year 1877. As the quota of licenses for the present year are rather short, those expecting to need the article had better hurry up, otherwise they may have to wait for the new issue for the year 1880.

A Handsome Income for an En-
 ergetic Lady or Gentleman.

The Ohio Scale Works of Cincinnati have just completed and are now intro ducing to the public q handsomely fin ished family scale, an article that has always been needed in every household, and in communication addressed to the publishers of this paper the propri- etors ask us to refer them to some re- liable party to introduce, 1t for them to the people of this County. It is very seldom that a new article steps so sud- denly into universal favor, House. keepers are loud Ia its praise, 1t is al- ways ready, there are no weights to get lost or to be hunted up, Is reliable, and will not get out of order. The descrip- tion of them is a handsome base sur mounted by column in which works spiral spring so scientifically adjusted as to weigh any, thing up to twelve pounds with perfect accuracy, on top of the column is the platform on which the articles to be weighed are placed, and they have an adjustable indicator so that you can take the tare of any vessel you may use in weighing, giving you the exact net weight. Housekeepers at once see their value in weighing fruits, sugars and other ingredients used in preserv- ing, cooking, etc., or in testing the weights of purchases from others.
 The scales are made of brass, are highly polished and are finished in a skillful manner. They are very at tractive and take the eye of every one who sees them.
 1t seems to.us that nearly everyfam- fly in this county who will want one, and is certainly rare opportunity for some smart and energetic party to pick up quite a nice little income during the next few months. The Company has agents in other countiea who are easily making from $500 to 5000 per day sell. ing them, and we would recommend parties in need of employment to drop the Ohio Scale Works. No. l25 and l27 Central Avenue, Cincinnati, O., pos tai card, and all information etc, will be cheerrully given them by mention- ing our paper.

OUR LOCAL SCHOOL INTER-
 ESTS.--EX XPLANA ATORY. ~are

| In our comments on the communica- tion which appeared in last week. DEMOCRAT over the signature of "Six'' there is sentence which might, per- haps, be construed wrongfully, and in such manner as to do injustice to the agement of Prof Rowland Doggett at this place.
 In alluding to a conversation we had had short time previously with a gen. tleman from neighboring town we said: ''He expressed the opinion we long have held, that there is great demand for good school somewhere on the line of the Ft. Smith Road, at which pupils may be fully prepared to enter the freshman class at any of the higher institutions of learning, and that such a school would meet with a liberal support"
 This is the sentence which, we fear, might be so construed as to be, at least, not very complimentary to our school here, now under Prof. Doggett' s charge; and to correct any such inn pression is the object of this article. The idea that we intended to convey was NOT that we we have no school at which pupils may be fully prepared to enter college; for the school we now have at our town is a most excellent 
 one, and pupil can be prepared here to enter the freshman or sophomore class at any of the best colleges, just as we'll as to go to some school away from home. The school answers every pur- pose as to qualifications, of teachers and experience and all it lacks of supplying the de- mand is the limited accommodations | afforded by the school buildings. The building will only accommodate part of the pupils from our own town. What we want is a larger building and accommodations for more pupils, so that the young men and young ladies of all the surrounding counties may be dCCOUlfuoudltu. II we Idu ScIfODl building here which would comfortably accommodate two hundred and fifty or three hundred pupils, with the neces- sary furniture and apparatus, the neces- sity of which we wrote would be sup piled. It is this for which an effort 1 should be made, and which we would still press upon the attention of the people of this and adjoining counties. Such school as this supplied with a sufficient corps of teachers as we'll qual- flied as is the principal of our present school would, it seems to us, be far more successful here, or at some point on the line of the Fort Smith Road be- tween Conway and Van Buren, than a similar school at points inaccessible and isolated like Harrison, Quitman, or Cane Hill.
 It was to incite the friends of educa- tion to make an effort of this kind, and not to complain of our present school, that we commenced writing on this subject. -.-

Catch that Jay Bird.

Come Bob and Jim and boys all Widowers, bachelors, great and small, For you cannot one word say Why we should not catch this Jay. She hath given us caution By putting us up at public auction. So take her up at the banter, And ''go for her," in canter. The bluest day ever saw Was catching Jays in Arkansaw. And bluer still will be the day When we shall catch this willy Jay. She's cunning and she's very wild; To "gobble" her you must be mild; You ev'n must not express thought Until you know you we got her caught. We'll bait her on the sweetest cake, And when she bites we'll "eat 'em up
 Jake;''
 And if she happens to get away, We'll "go for her" another day. Of this rare bird was not advised. Until she in the DEMOCRAT advertised ; And on her we'll try our skill, Pick our flint, and shoot to kill. I would not kill wounded Jay, Leave her alone to limp away. She's been struck with cupid's arrow, We will trap her on the morrow. Perhaps she pineth for mate, No one knows her sad fate; All day she sits and weeps and mourns, Forsaken. lonely, and forlorn. There's Wood and Bob and Lute and
 Harry, Oh. why can't l some Of these marry; There's Tom and Me, handsome pair, Oh don't wish were there. Thus is our little bird heard to sing, Summer, winter, and in spring; don't know what the reason can be None Of these boys won't marry me. Realy Doggett, 'Just from the West, " He takes the young birds out of the nest. The old ones he catches on the wlng; So pretty bird, beware how you sing. You would sell us like an old vehicle; l thought boys were cash article In demand, six cents above par, Few on hand, and none to spare. Dear little bird, don't get out of heart, You shall have lions part; Col. Allen is a very large pill, Pm sure he'll fill the bill. And now my dear, tell us your name, And by Jove we'll do the same; And if we can't make match m send Col. Ford for you to catch. When you get him you'll have enough, For he is old and very tough; You need not him, try to stuff, For he is nothing but puff.

The Next Senate.

The political complexion of the next United States senate is now definitely fixed, and will stand as follows: Democrats, forty two; Re publicaus, thirty three; independent, one. As the Independent, David Davis, of Illinois, acts almost uni formly with the Democrats, he can be counted with them. The Democratic majority, therefore, will be ten. In 1870, the Republicans hadI majority in tine senate of 45; in 1871, of 50; in 1873, of 43.; in IS. v, of IT; in 1879, counting Davis with the Democrats, of }, and in 1879, after the fourth of March, for the first time in eighteen years, the Republican majority disappears and the Democrats resume the reins of senatorial power with the hand some majority ofl0. The Democrats have a majority in the house of re- presentatives, and the country has nothing to tear in the future from national legislation, A few years ago there were only thirty-two Democrats in the house of represen- tatives, while the senate was over whelmingly Republican. But the Democrats have steadily gained un- til they have control of both branch es ofcongress. The signs of the times indicate that they will elect presi- dent next year. Never has party Tn the history of the government as cended.-. to power so rapidly. The American people areessentiallydemo- cratic, and after the fourth of March, 1880, the Democratic party will gov ern the country during the balance of the present century.-Memphis Appeal.
 It is stated that the chaplain in the Maine house of representatives electrified that body the other day by praying that God would give the members grace to "stop speaking when they got through" He ought also to have begged that He would teach them not to speak at all unless they had something to say, for if the average legislator never spoke except when he had something to say, there would be much less com plaint about long sessions.

MIR. EDITOR: The reading of that most remark kable noetical production in

MR. EDITOR: The reading of that most remarkable poetical production in your last issue, signed "Jay-birds," !" has inspired us and we are SO full of poetic feeling that we will "bust" cer- tain, if some of it is not let out. The great tro2ble is to select a subject: but our first llnes win be upon that most beautiful and musical little waterfowl called the bull-frog. His movements, (and especially his leap when naughty boy throws a rock at his head) are the very poetry of motion. His eye is more beautiful than that of school girl when beaming with the light of her first love. And those hind legs of his, in proportion, symetry and grad ual graceful tapering from his body down to the utmost extremity of his toe-nails are the very perfection of na- lures artistic skill. But poetry-ilrst class poetry--is what l intended to give you and not a detailed descrip- ton of the hind-legs of bull-frog. By this time the machine is almost ready to explode with the pressure of Inspiration. Now for it--here we go: A bull-frog sat on big black stump, His legs drawn under him all in lump, His voice was low and sad was his eye, AS the sun went down in the western
 sky.

On the 9th inst. at half-past-four a. LITTLE HATTIE, daughter of John A and Mary l.. Erwin.
 ''Little Hattie's hands were folled Peacefully upon her breast,
 As our children pray at nightfall, Ere they drop away to rest.
 And we kissed her, weeping softly, Bending meath our fathers rod,
 Knowing that our little blossom Had gone back to dwell with God"
The Russellville Democrat., 1879-02-06

A red-headed boy who was passing by Threw Il great big rock into that bull
 frogs eye; The bell-frog screamed and the boy
 said "therc,'' And the said frogs hind legs flew high 1 in the air. He heayed deep sigh, then death like moan, And that bull-frog's spirit to frog heaven had flown. How will that do MT. Editor? The inspiration has ''sorter' given out. Wait until gather little of that di- vine afllatus. Here we are again: A buil-frog hoisted his tail on high And bounded over the plain;
 A bumble-bee come a laundering by, And then come on the rain.
 That don't do so well. Those lines are rather beautiful in thought and sen timent; but there is somewhat of a want of poetical harmony and connec- ton in them. Still if you and your readers think them equal to the Clay bird" poetry, my highest aspirations are satisfied will now wind up the machine. fill it with new inspiration and start it again on a new subject, that one having been exhausted. We start again: In beautiful village where four
 church spires rise, And many white cottages everywhere meet the eyes, Dwell many maidens, beautiful and
 fair, Some having blue eyes and some mo- k lasses-colored hair; Some are in love and some are not, All want sweethearts, if they could
 only be got, Some youths they catch and some they
 let go; Some sigh in loneliness for the want of
 a beau. SHE sits by the window and thinks oft
 of the past. Of the day and the hour he called on
 her last; Two autumns have past and a summers Since he departed and never more has
 come. Tho flowarc cfill hJnorn ond ,oocrinu
 birds sing, But no more to her does he boquets
 bring; Oh! how many more moons will wax
 and wane, Before that loved one will come again. He is tall, slim fellow with pensive
 eye,- A first class Christian, but rather shy. He pursues the even tenor of his way; And shoves his plane the live-long day. Iris very great pity that things are so, But love won't run smooth as we all do
 know. This poet? thinks, if he only had his?
 way, There soon would come a most glorious
 day; Before the apple-tree blossoms again
 come and go, Every single girl should have her beau. And before the autumn leaves again
 fall from the tree, Every maiden's beau her husband
 should be; And each have a neat white cottage
 with vine oyer the door, And soon young "Jay-bird" chirping
 on the floor.
 MT. Editor my inspiration has run out again. Do you think this equal to the "Jay-bird" poetry?
 1 am done. Am 1 success? Shall my name go down to posterity as a poet? Shall live in the poetic history of my country. A JAY, ns*@ of the male persuasion.
