 The above two paragraphs constitut- ed the sole editorial arguments in last week'a issue of the Atkins News 0ssued on the very heels of the election) in favor of locating the County Seat at that place. In regard to the first para graph it places the editor in just this kind of dilemma: he either took the people of Pope county to be most egre- gious fools, or is orc himself.

SEARCY CO.--THE CROPS AND THE SILVER EXCITE NENT

From letter written to the Harri- son Times by our old friend Hon. John Campbell, we make the following extract:

Some little excitement about the reported discovery of silver mine. fear there is more talk than truth about this thing.

SCHOOL DIRECTORS.

Having learned the amount of the County School Fund that will derive from the Poll and special tax of 1878, ana by reconing the State apportion- mcnt when paid to be as much per head as was paid on the last apportionment, l have prepared a report showing the total amount of School Funds that will be available for School purposes in the various districts for the next school year beginning with July the lst, 1879.
 have put myself to considerable trouble to have the directors furnished with all needed information in this matter, and which is as correct as is possible to be given. Tbc amount giv- en will be increased in some districts on account of the redemption of Rail- road and other lands during the year.
 The said report as given shows the balance due districts, after deducting all indebtedness that is now registered, or known to exist. All that is needed to be fully and sufficiently posted in your district school finances, is to be a subscriber to the county paper, which arrangement might probably be made with the editor.

MARY. QUEEN OF SCOTS

At one time encountered much trouble in her public affairs which became quite serious. It appears that her Royal Highness was attacked with a spell nt chlls. which bafiled the physician to the Queen, causing so long delay that she was accused of negligence. A grand consultation of physicians was held, much scientific research resorted to, and a combination agreed upon which proved WONDERFUL in curing the Queen at once and permanently. With a slight variation, as an improvement. relieving the compound of all objec- tionable features, and the addition of others directed to the stomach and liver, Days Ague Tonic is composed of the same articles. It never fails to cure promptly and permanently the very worst forms of chills and fever.

A correspondent tells story about Judge
Kent that is interesting. A case of bur-
glary was being tried before him. The
prisoners name was Cowdry, and the evil
dence showed that he had cut a hole
through rubber tent in which several
persons were sleeping, large enough to ad-
nit his arm and head, and had distracted
several articles Of value. His counsel
took the ground that the prisoner, having
only reached into the tent, had not cen
tered" il, and that on this technicslity the
defendant should be discharged.
In his charge to the jury, Judge Kent,
with grim smile, alluded to the plea Of
the prisoners counsel, and instructed them
that, if they we're in doubt as to the guilt
Of the whole man, they might bring him
in guilty as far as they judged the evil
dence would warrant, and the jury, after
brief period Of consultation, brought in
a verdict against Thomas Cowdry, the
prisoner at the bar, Of guilty to the full
letter Of the indictment as to hisright arm
his right shoulder and his head.
And the Judge sentenced the arm, the
shoulder, and the head Of said Thomas
Cowdry to Imprisonment at hard labor in
the State prison for the term of two years.
The prisoner might do with the remainder
Of his body what he pleased. - Bangor
