RIVER rRAxspoerAr,o. CONTRACT.

The Coulsen Line Rscelvss b Award 10
b Missouri asd Y~sllovvstone.
A telegram was received this noon at tn
Office of the Missouri River Transportatio
Co, announcing that the long pending de-
cision on the river transportation contrac
was made this morning in favor of the Coul
son line Of steamers. The telegram Va
from Capt Maratta and sal,
that the combined bid Of III
Coulson line was accepted Is recommends
BY the St. Paul and Chicago Offices. B.
c ,mbined bid is meant the bid for both tn
Missouri and Yellowstone rivere. Tn
Coulson line takes the whole thing and tn
last desperate effort Of opposing .interest
meets with an overwhelming defeat. 1t va.
a battle against all other steamboat mana
gers on the river, to whom were allied th.
influential men Of several ~populous cities
Against the whole the Couleon line has pre-.
vailed. Its officers are thoroughly acqua,nt.
ed with all the details Of river transports.
ton through long experience, and being
possessed Of business heads they are enabled
to make telling figures whenever the annual
letting Of contracts occur. The line is com
posed of the best boats on the river, is off.
cered by the most competent men and is in
every way capable of filling the contract
with the utmost promptness. 1t will be a
source of qualification to the military people
along the river That the contract has been
placed in the hands of those who have
proved their competency BY years Of expe-
rience. The magnificent Coulson feet is
being made ready for the seasons work and
by the time the supplies begin to arrive the
boats will be ready 10 receive them.
And now what about Sioux City? This
was the year when it was going to wrest the
contract prize from Yankton, Cor sure, and
all its energies are wasted. But We have
no desire to belabor afallen foe. Yankton's
triumph is our chief qualification.

Prof. Doggett's school.

EDIToR DEMOCRAT: We attended the closing examination of the above named school in Russellville, which closed last Friday We do uot prop ose to write what is usually called puff of the Prof. or his school, but simply to say of him and his system of teaching, what he merits as man and teacher. We have witnessed a great many exam tions of this kind, and it can generally be very easily told when pupils have been specially drilled for the occasion. The Professors pupils had not been prepared for an examination in that way and insofar as we heard the ex- animation, and we heard all the classes except the grammar class, we think the pupils exhibited Knowledge of what had been taught them, which was highly creditable both to them and their teacher. They gave the answers to questions and then the reason for the answer in a manner that is rarely wit messed in any of our schools. Mir. Doggett is a teacher by profession, and gives his entire attention to his duties as such and being man of great in dustry, he teaches very thoroughly what he does teach. We never saw a class in arithmetic exhibit such thor ough knowledge of the subject, considA ering the ages of the pupils. The in- terest taken in the closing exercises of the school was not what we think equal to its merits. Ii the house had been full every day it would not have been greater compliment than the teacher and his pupils deserved. We think the Prof. and his worthy lady who assists him are well deserving the confidence and patronage of the people of Russell and vicinity. A.

AN ADDRESS
TO THE VOTERS OF POPE
 COUNTY.

It is well known that at the last gen eral election, held in September, 1878. the question was, by order of the Coun- ty Court, submitted to the voters of Pope county, whether the County Seat should be moved from Dover, and also whether if removed, it should be locat- ed at Russellville or at Atkins. The result of that election as returned by the judges and clerks of election for the several precincts, and as declared by the County Clerk and two Justices of the Peace called to his assistance as pro- yided by law, showed that the requisite majority of the voters of the county were in favor of a removal of the Coun- ty Seat from Dover, but it did not show a sufficient majority in favor either of Russellyille or Atkins to locate the County Seat at either place, although Russcllville received not only large majority Of votes over Atkins, but a large majority of the votes cast. In this state of affairs the law required that second election should be held to decide at which of the two places, At kins or Russellville, the County Seat should be locrted. And at this election q majority of the votes cast determines the matter.
 The second election, to be held for the purpose of deciding between Rus sellyille and Atkins has been ordered by the County Court, to take place or Friday the 20th day of June, 1879. The time is near at hand. The ques- tion is one of vital impor- tanee to every citizen of the County. Whichever waythe mat ter IS determined, settles the location of the Court House for Ten Years, as no change can be made in that time, when once it is located. se 4S
 On question of so much importance, affecting the interests of the county at large for years to come, it cannot be denied that each voter owes it as du- ty to himself and to his fellow citizens,

DOVER LODGE, No. r, F. A. M.,)
 June 10, A. D. 1879, A. l.. 5S79.
 Whereas, That most unwelcome mes senger, Death, has invaded the sacred sanctity of our Masonic Circle and de- prived us of our much esteemed and deeply regretted Brother John McFad- din who died at his residence in Dover. Pope Co.,, Ark, at o'clock D. m. Tues day the 10th of June 1879, of congestion of the brain; aged 64 years, months and days. Be it therefore
 Resolved, That while we bow in hum- ble submission and sorrow to the man dates of the great Ruler of the Universe who hath seen fit to call from us one whom we so much loved, over whose faults if any the mantle of char ity should be extended. We desire to commend to our brethren his many virtues so often exemplificd by his eyer ready and generous acts of kindness and benevolence to the destitute and needy, and especially to the orphan. His unwavering attachment and devo- tion to his family and friends, possess ing the very soul of honor and integri- ty, abhorriug a mean or sordid act, and openly and freely denouncing those who were false or unfaithful in the performance of any of the attributes necessary and essential to constitute Gods noblest work, an honest man." In his death this community has been deprived of much esteemed and re- spected citizen; our order loved and jealous brother; the poor, the destitute and the orphan-who never appealed to him in yain-an invaluable friend his wife and dear little boy, John Garland, a fond and affectionate husband and a devoted father, with whom we deeply sympathize and condole in this their truly sad aflliction and bereavement.
 Resolved, That In respect to his mem- ory this Lodge will wear the usual badge of mourning for the period of 30 days.
 Resolved, That copies of these resolu- tions be furnished by the secretary of this lodge to his bereaved family, and to the editors of the Russellville DEMO- GRAF and Atkins News, with a request that they publish the same.
