 Our school election terminated as follows: 20 for tax, and 24 against tax. So you will see there were only mi- nority of us stood up for education, and I understand that most of the districts have acted in q like manner. Now I hope some one who has acquainted themselves in this matter will inform us why happens all this. Isit because we are not sufficiently civilized, ahd that we disregard education? I tell you nay. But the people don't like to pay tax for the purpose of educating their children and have it used by the monarchal ring, (Superintendents of Public Instruction); that is, we like to make our own selections and choose our own teachers.

HARRISON, ARKs., Sept. 8, lS'

HARRISON, ARKs.. Sept. 8, 1879.
 EDITOR DEMOCRAT: The necessity of a good road from Russellville, Ark, to this place is becoming a matter of grave importance to northwestern Arkansas. This subject has been treated upon by several the last year or two; but so far no definite arrangement has been made to bring it to a head. We have noticed quite a number of letters that have ap- peared In the newspapers who are di- rectly interested in the road, yet no active part taken to push the much needed road into fixed fact. The inn portauce of the road is felt upon every hand and all are satisfied that such a road would inure to the benefit of our citizens here as well as the merchants south of us. Then the necessity of the road is a fact. Thus far point is gained; the next step to be taken is, How can such road be built? In the first place We would suggest that few energetic, live men of Russellville, of Marshal, Searcy county; of Melville, Marion county; of Jasper, Newton county, and Harrison, Boone county, meet some where along the contem- piated line of the road and devise such means as~to bring the subject promi- nently before the people and enlist them in the cause. The people should be made feel the present and immedi- ate urgency of the road. When this is done the road will be built, because the interest to the people will be so appar- ent that money will be at hand to push forward the work. To handle the peo- ple's money to build public enterprises tue people must be satisfied that re- turn will be had for the outlay and that they will be remunerated for their trouble and their money so expended.
 Mir. Evans in his letter to your valu- able paper on the above subject does not state the facts concerning our pro- ductions quite full enough. Boone. county alone will produce 2,000 bales of cotton Marion Co. 5000; Searcy Go. 5000, and Newton Co. about 1,500. Boone county raised about one million bushels of wheat and the other counties an equal proportion. Boone county will have about two million bushels of corn, and fat hogs this fall will be plentifuls while stock or cattle in the same ratio. The merchants of Boone county will do about five Hundred thousand dollars worth of busltuss per annum. Springfield, Mo. is the gfeat mart for N. w. Arkansas, but build the road and give us . southern market by way Of Russellyille and over million and 4 half of dollars worth of trade

THE SCOURGE.,

The epidemic still rages in Memphis. The disease has also developed in sev- eral other towns and neighborhoods contiguous to Memphis, and in every instance it can be traced to importation to the newly effected places by parties from Memphis. The mounted patrols have been put on duty and determin- ed effort will be made to stop all in- gress and egress calculated to spread the disease. The 9th rule prohibits the entering of any cotton either in the seed or lint into Memphis during the epidemic. The merchants and business men seriously object to this rule, but it is believed. their objection will be of no avail.
 1ire official sreport ofstheps fever mt Memphis for the week ending last Sat urday shows 152 cases and 43 deaths; /; the total number of cases up to that time was 1.005; total deaths 272. The work of disinfecting is being energet- ically prosecuted.
 The Odd Fellows have issued the following appeal:
 "MEMPHIs, Sep. 6, 1879. "To the Independent Order of Odd Eel lows, greeting.
 "rhe Odd Fellows special relief com mittee of Memphis are again forced to the necessity of appealing to the broth erhood at large for material aid. All of the available funds of five lodges and two encampments have been expended sending many of their brethren and families to places of safety in nursing and providing for the sick and buryiDg the dead. Business is suspended, wages stopped, and sickness and death are making sad havoc in their midst. This appeal pleads with the greatest reluctance, in view of the generous out pouring of substantial aid which met similar appeals in 1873 and 1878, but with sickness and distress upon every hand, with walls of sorrow and cries for help coming up continually, their treasury exhausted, and the sad pros pect of'a continuance of the dreaded scourge of yellow fever for period of at least two months to come, their only resource is an appeal for help from our more fortunate brethren who are spared such dire calamity as now scourges their stricken city. All con tributions should be sent to Marcus Jones, grand patriarch of the state and president of the special relief commit tee. l. o. o. F., of Memphis.

 We are very dear lover of music, and hence we appreciated in very high degree the music discoursed at our door last Thursday night by a party of ladies and gentlemen compos- ed of the Misses Doggctt, Miss Jessie Howell, Miss Sallic Williamson, Miss Emma Howell and Mrs. Ebb Howell :; Mir. Realy Doggett and Robbie Doggett. Twas the sweetest music we have heard in long time.
 We were shown letter from our young friend and former fellow-towns- man, T. B. Hale-more familiarly known among ''the boys" here as ''Doc," received few days ago by his brother-in-law Mir. Jimmie Wells. We are glad to know that "Doc" is doing well. He says he has the best crop of cotton (about a30 acres) he ever saw. He had shipped two bales on Aug. 2lst, and when he wrote (Aug. 30) he was getting out from three to five bales per day. He thinks he is just as good for bale to the acre as five cents is for glass of beer. His pla ntation is near Osccola, Mississippi county. Pluck and energy combined with pride in doing well whatever may be undertaken, always succeeds; and thts Is the secret of "Doc's" success.

THE HARRISON TURNPIKE.

We call the attention of our readers to an article and letter from the Rus sellyille DEMOCRAT on tho first page of this issue, on the subject of a road be- tween that place and Harrison. It contains many excellent suggestions, and we hope to see our friends over the mountains keep the ball in motion un- til the desired end is accomplished. Our people will assist all.in their pow CT to advance the ause.-Ifarrison Times. xse4 sS
 And in to-day's paper will be found another letter from Harrison which is worthy of the careful consideration Of our business men. The fact of the bus mess is Russellville had just as we'll wake up and look at this matter in its proper light right now. Tie longer we put it off the more we lose. What can we expect for our town unless NC do something to assure the success of this enterprise. Here we are with com peting towns east of us and west of us, and where do our merchants expect the trade and business necessary to build up the town, to come from?
 There is just one thing about it, we must either open up communfcation and secure the trade of Searcy, Newton, Boone and Marion counties, or we must content ourselves with just what we are-we, need not expect to be anything more. u $l- ssss
 We are fully satisfied that all itiwants to have this matter go through with a whirl is for some of the live, substan- tial business men to start the ball us suggested by our correspondent whose letter win be found in to-day 'sspaper. s
 It is just one of two things oprpe pie here must open their purse strings and arouse themselves to action, or they must never expect any outcome in our town. We have 1t within our pow CT to make RusseIlville place of some considerable importance, and if we don't do it we will have no one to blame but ourselves. Will not some of our business men make suggestion through next weeks paper for a. start in this matter or, what would be bet ter, will not our business men hold a consultation meeting this week and come to some conclusion as to what can and shall be done in this matter?

DIED.

On Saturday morning, the 9th inst, at about o'clock. Dr. E. B. Harrell, an old and respected citizen of this city.
 Seldom ever has larger or more sor- rowful funeral cortege wended it's way with slow and measured tread to our village church-yard than the one which followed the remains of our late la- mented fellow-eitizen to his last rest ing place last Saturday at 3 o'clock P, m. For. three weeks he had been confined to his bSl, and although for several" days past His friends had been prepared for the worst, the announce ment of his death cast pail of gloom and sadness over our entire community.
 May he sleep ill peace.
 In this city, on Saturday, Sept. G, 1879, Charlie, son of Mr. and Mrs. Willis Settle, age years, months and 12 days.
 Thus like the Autumn leaves, one by one, we are dropping into the tomb, and we are daily reminded that we are mortal and death is no respecter of persons; that all alike are subject to his ravages, the young as well as the old. Little Charlie was a sprigltly boy, and by his loveliness had won the affection of all who knew him. But his little chair around the hearthstone is now vacant, and We will see him no more untitthefirst resurrection morn, wien Christ the blessed Saxi9x, who xwiiile on earth Said tsSuffe SIltffe chfldrento come af tp meand-foflddAtlenl not for ofsucli ii5 the KiIgdo nef Heayen,r will bring little Chxi1ie with Him. It seems hard indeed for parents to give their children up, but as Christians we must remember that our Heavenly Father does all things well, that He is too wise to err, and too good to do wrong, and when we understand the purposes of God, we will then uhder- stand why the young are taken away in their infancy. We do not know but that it is best that o1r moorings should be to some extent fcut loose from this side of the river. MT. and Mrs. Settle have one more tie in the beautiful world beyond, one more incentive to work and labor to fit and prepare them selves for the association of their dear little boy ill the mansions above.
 May the plowman respect the sod that covers little Charlie, and may this dispensation be sanctfied to the good of the parents and friends is the sincere wish of a z S@ 7 2 sA ssses ERIEND.

IN MEMORIAM.

RUssELLvILLE, ARK. Sept. 6, 1879. EDITOR RussELLyILLE DEMOCRAT:
 On stepping from the car of the Lit tie Rock & Fort Smith R. W. this morning upon my return from St, Louis, l was greatly surprised and deeply clagrined to hear of the death of my much valued and sincere friend Dr. Elisha Bryan farrell who died this morning at his residence in Russell vile, Pope county, Arks,, at 2ia o'clock the 9th day of September 1879, aged forty-five years, two months and twen- ty-one days.
 Dr. Harrell was born in Mississippi on the l6th day of June 1884, was mar ried in Conway county, Ark. on the l7th day of January 1856, to Miss Miriam Tillman, came to and resided at Dover, Pope county, in 1860, and was then associated in the practice of medicine up to and during the War with Dr. John McFaddn, who preced- ed him to the grave on the 10th of June last. Dr. Harfeu eaaIe to Hussellsiiie aner the war where lie h;,ssitce resided and *practiced his piofcssfon Ssto the great benefit of others and serious inju ry to himself pecuniarily and physic- ally, receiving but little for his ardu- ous labors in his profession, never ask ing for what was due him from his long practice and which will now be greatly Eeeded by his afflicted family.
