The Latest Invention in Useful
 Household Articles.

l Within the last few years there has been expended great deal of inventive thought and genius upon what may properly be classed as household arti- cles, the most noted result of which are tthe production of the sewing machine, the wringer, tue washing machine, tie Ecarpet 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 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, a very simple contrivance designed to firmly hold in position any
 kind of brush or duster; having an extension handle that enables one to
 wash or dust windows, walls or ceilings without the aid of a step ladder. That is one of it's conyeniences, and is also one of the best carpet sweepers in the
 market, holding the brush firmly an angle. It cleans the carpet thoroughly, iraises no dust and does not wear the carpet like theofdinary broom or brush and will outwear dozen brooms. As handle for the scrubbing brush it is l biic btHG utNItt cNtl lldtt. IO blbI V kneeling on the floor, no more back
 aches or sore fingers.
 As carpet stretcher alone it is worth it's cost, as a carpet of any size can be 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, chpan and dtIra b1e
 | It is manufactured by Brown & Co.,, Cincinnati, the well known manufac- 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 stin- terested, and we predict for it large sale. Every housekeeper in the land I will want one.
 Any reliable lady or gentleman wish l 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 & CO, Grand Hotel Building, Cincinnati, O.

Notice Is hereby given that in pur- stance of the authority and direction contained in the decretal order of the Pope Circuit Court, rendered at the March term 1879, in cause pending on the chaneery side in said Court, wherein Joseph Bradley Is plaintiil, and W. N. Falls and John Wells are defendants, the undersigned as Com missioner of said Court, will offer and sell at public outcrv, to the highest bidder, on the premises, within the hours for judicial sales on the
 5rH DAY OF JUNE, 1870, the following described tract of land to- wit: The northeast quarter of the south-west quarter of section eight, township six in range nineteen In Pope county, Arkansas.

the upland or ridges covered with mxurfant grass, and for sale at $1.25 per acre, and the wild bottom lands equal to Ark. river bottom, covered with fine cane, in which stock can live all winter without other food, and for sale at from $2.50 to $5.00 per acre. When we got onto Red River we found as fine lands as the world affords, which can be bought cheap, but it is so siclSly that noth- ing but negroes, dogs and musqui- toes live there, and even the first two are scarce. But but for most mayelously cheap lands, this county beats them all, for we have so far travelled over some much better up lands than the average upland of Pope County, where there are thous- ands and thousands of acres of good lands for sale at from soc to $1.25 per acre, with from three to ten years to pay for it in. And if any are in want of WILD country where game is plenty, this is it, no need of going to Western Texas for THAT for this country is but little less than wild bowling wilderness, with settlement of from two to five families every eight or ten miles, with herds of deer and abundance of turkeys feed ing over the wilds between.
 Don't think that am getting the Texas fever. for 1 am not; must have SOME of the things which socle ty affords; thing which IS unknown here. But to one not particular on that point, and in search of a new and wild country, l can safely rec ommend Bowie county, Texas.
 All we'll and hearty.

Ting DELINQUENT TAX LIST. We win be able next week to give our read CTS the list of delinquent lands in Pope county. There a1e upward of three hundred tracts on the list. We think the publication of the list will be a great advantage to the public, as it will afford land owners an opportunity to correct any errors which may have been made. The County Clerk. Judge A. J. Bayliss. has kindly furnished us the list free of cost, patriotic act which not only ourselves, but we trust the people also, will highly appreciate.
 We would urge upon our readers who are suffering from Chills & Fever, the importance of at once procuring a bottle of HUGHEs' ToNIc, if they wish to De speedily relieved. This is one of the oldest and best medicines in use. It is prepared with great care, and bears the endorsement of Messrs. k. A. Robinson & Co.,, Louisville, Ky, who make 1t. The sale is steadily inereas- ing and gives general satisfaction. Price $1.00 per bottle--Full directions are given tor use. For sale by J. NJ. Harkey & Bro.
 administrators, executors and com missioners who have property to offer for sale should remember that the only way to advertise such sale so as to make it known to the general public is to publish it in the newspapers. This is an age of utility, and live men don't go about inspecting posts, fences, trees, blacksmith shops to see what kind of notices are posted up there in an illeg- ible handwriting. The columns Of the county newspaper is the place where all live men look for such matters, and the property of scores of estates is sac riticed every day by administrators who are too pennywise to publish the notice of sale in the county paper.
 Instantly Is none too quick to re- | lieve croup. Many children have died while fire was making. Johnson B Anodyne Liniment gives instant relief and is sure cure. Half teaspoonful on sugar. Every family should keep it in the house.
 The aduIteration of condition pow ders has got to such pitch that one can now buy pound pack of DUST AND ASHES for 9 cents. There is only one kind now known that are strictly pure, and those are Sheridan's Cavalry | Powders.

DOVER SCRAPS.

Strawberries, garden peas, and so on have got to be old at the "Metropol- itan."
 Corn is selling in this place at 50 cents cash, or 80 cents on time, with considerable demand.
 Mrs. Clabe Howell and Mrs. Dr. Scott spent a part of last week in Dover strawberry harvesting, and visiting friends in the place.
 The weather has begun to feel sum- mer-like, and the dreaded cutworm is abating, which they could have done sooner without serious detriment to the farmers.
 The usual quota of marriage li- censes were issued for the week; to Willis A. Baker and Mrs. Martha J. Bell; ". B. Brady and Miss Martha Price Geo. w. Zachary and Miss Mary Fellens; and ". NJ. Gee and Miss Ma tilda J. Millican. Such proceedings are legal and proper, but at the same time it is circulated to unhinge fel- lows advanced cireulations to a won derful extent. l have informed you once before how the thing would be. Only nine more licenses remain uncall- ed for at this time. Don't all start at once.
 Probably few financial items from the county finances would be of some Interest to your readers, as had under the management of her present county officials, to-wit: Total scrip issued to pay county general expenses from the 1st of July 1877, to July 1878, as per scrip register $ll, ,000.73; new scrip re- deemed and cancelled for the year as per settlement July 1878, $10,066.00 :; old scrip redeemed from 2-mills tax levied to pay county indebtedness as per settlement $2,691.33; U. s. Cur rency paid on county judgments in Dis trict Court for the year as shown by Treasurer receipts filed in SC ttlement $4, 1s2 .26. Total receipts from the county revenue as above $l6,939. .59 ; leaving balance in favor of Pope County of S5, ,93S SC for the said finan- cial year ending July 1878. The cor rectness of the above figures are vouch- ed for, and will stand good for their worth in this matter, be it mnch or little.

HEAVENS FIRST LAW.

It is absolutely demanded that the mental and physical laws of our nature should be kept in equilibrium. system and order must be recognized as funda- mental, and departure entails sick ness, disease and death, as penalties. To be healthy, beautiful and buoyant, the whole constitution must maintain regular action in all its component parts. A female who imprudently eX- poses herself and becomes prostrated with headache, pain in the back, fever, irregular orssuppressed monthly action with constipation and loss of appetite must be restored to regular action, must be re-vitalized, reeuperated at once, and for this very purpose nothing equals Dr. Dromgoole's English Fe- male Bitters. It is prepared expressly for all such diseases.

ARKANSAS SMAMPS.

Many pale-face individuals who re- side near these swamps and chill breed- ing cess-pools of malaria are known to be sufferers from chills by their very appearance. They have used quinine and other chill medicine until it seems a mockery. They soon become chronic and are then almost impossible to cure. Such cases are easily and immediately cured by the use of Days Ague Tonic, the most powerful antiperiodic and blood cleanser now before the public. It acts directly upon the secretions.
