DOVER DOINGS.

--"This is fine weathern' "Mr. can you give me change for ten" Second man. "No, have been all over town trying to get this twenty changed" :"
 --Mr. BuckiPrice, one Of the go-ahead men of Liberty township was in town last week. He reports progress slow on the new road over the mountain for the want of hands, but says the work is being well done. Mir. Stanford Young has bought out MT. Frank Mo- lin's house and lot lying in the south east portion of town, and will still re- main a citizen of Dover. Success to him and his better-hslf. Mir. Nowlin and family leave for Red River this week.
 If you know of anybody that has a nice fat hog, with an over quantity of ribs and backbones, the more ribs the better, and sack of good corn meal, just send him to Dover, and the trade is as good as made.
 MT. Jo Petty, of this place, the man who goes into matters business end foremost, finished hauling in his corn crop last week and will assure you it was no breakfast spell. When you get around to corn you can put Jo down for HOO bushels.

Parents Read This.

Nine tenths of all the sickness of child hood is caused by worms. Thousands of children dle yearly from worms in the stomach, that could be saved by the timely use of PARKERS SANTONINE WORM LOZENGES. They have sav- ed thousands of children. They drive ont the worms without pain-they cleanse the stomach. and make the lit tie ones bloom and blossom as the rose. They are the finest and best medicine ever made. Thousands of parents all over the land use nothing but PAR KER'S Lozenges. Try them in prefer- ence to anything else for worms. Try PARKER'S Lozenges. Buy nothing but PARKER'S. Give no other Worm Medicine to children but Parker's Log are the cheapest, best ana safest. Sold by your druggists, J. M. Harkey & Bro.

THE MURDEROUS SIX
 SHOOTER.

Since Judge English's pistol de- cision has become generally known, says the Morrilton State, many rusty six-shooters are coming to light, and now it is no uncommon thing to sec men dangling them around. The same lameatable fact IS true in re- gard to this section of the country. Our excellent sheriff informed us that at a horse race in Moreland township few days ago he saw not less than twenty or thirty of these harmless war weapons dangling from the belts of men. It will not be long until the bad element of our society will be defiant and aggres
 sive again. While they were depri- ved of their nayyslxes they were meek and law abiding, but now we will soon hear of their infringements
 upon the rights of others again. And how supremely ridiculous and absurd it is to say this state of af- fairs is sanctioned by the organic law when the declaration IS made that the right of the people "to bear arms for the common defense" shall not be lnfringed. Such, however, is the decision of our illustrious, truly patriotic and brilliant supreme court, and we presume Arkansas will have to suffer and bear it as best she. can.

LOOK OUT FOR YOUR
 HOMES.

The Fort Smith Elevator sounds the following timely warn. ing to squatters on gov ernment land. It is an impor. tant matter to that class of people, for as sure as fate this valley is go ing to be filled up with newcomers very rapidly within short time, and little regard will be paid to mere squatter's claims upon vacant gov. ernment lands, unless the require, ments of the homestead and pre-emp- tion laws of the United States have been complied with. Let all take warning and look out for their homes. Here IS what the Elevator says:
 Persons that live on government or railroad lands should be sure to make arrangements at once to get ti- tie to the same if they wish to re- main on the land. No one should expect to live on vacant land after this without buying it. Too many people are prepared with the money and Tn need of homes to permit good tracts of land to go unsold Tn any reasonable distance from this place, or even in any portion of the adjoin- ing counties. The land "boom' is here and every man that desires to keep his home should pay, homestead or contract for it, as the case may be.

If the Democratic party fails in 1880 to correct the gross wrong done by the fraudulent inauguration of Mir. R. B. Hayes in the Presidenti- al office in 1876, our faith in the sense of justice which we have always hoped would never die out in the American people, will be shaken. It is only by the re-nomination of MT. Samuel J. Tilden, by his RE ELEc TON in 1880, AND BY HIS INAUGURA- TON in 1881, that the great fraud can be purged and wiped away from the escutcheon of the Ameri- can people.

Russellyille High School.

MR. BATTEsPIELDi-I furnish you again this week a report of the success of some of my classes. I thank you for thus stimulating my pupils to put forth efforts to excell. The publication of last week has already had decidedly good effect. I promised to publish the names in class in Orthography, in the order in which they stand. They had two hundred words assigned them, for ty each day. Emma Howell, Lillie NJ. Settle, Emma Bonds, Lou Smith, Kate Smith, and Lucy Russell rank alike, no one missing single word. Stephen Tucker missed only one, and Jennie Moseley only three. The merits of the compositions have been decided by 4 disinterested party, who had no knowl- edge of the author. The best has been assigned to Miss LallahIDosgett, which l furnish to be published without any correction whatever. We give the names Of seven others in the order of merit. Miss Georgia Smith and Mas ter Robert Doggett rank equal and sec ond; Master Napoleon Herring and Birdie Caldwell, equal and third; Lillie Settle, Andrew Howell, and Frank Roys fourth.
 The Prominent Events in the
 Life of Christopher Columbus.
 BY MISS LALLAH L. DoGaETr.
 This extraordinary man, on whose bravery depends the glory of Spain's discovery of the new world, was born in Genoa Italy. His early history or birth is obscure, some learned histo- rians place it as early l425, others as late as l446. But the earliest statement we have on record is af tho age of fourteen, when he began sea- faring life, and continued with little in- termission until l470. He was instruct ed in his early youth at Payia, where he

It is our opinion that there is not a single good reason for turning Col. Jake Frolich out of the office of sec retary of state.-Ozark Democrat.
 We presume the Democrats pro vocation for saying the above is the fact that there is an effort in certain quarters to get up little boom for some other gentleman for the posit. ion now held by Col. Frolich. And the Democrat is precisely right about it. It has become a custom which is almost without an excep- ton in our State within the past years that when State officer mak es faithful, efficient public servant, he is complimented with a second term. We see no reason to make an exception of Col. Frollch, present secretary of State. He is beyond all contradiction, as attentive. effici- ent and honorable public servant as we have ever had, and if he wants the office again we know no reason why he should not have the prefer ence over any new aspirant.

Prot. W.L. Morris, of Dardanelle. passed through town yesterday, to assume the duties of his new rosi- tion as city editor of the Helena Daily World. Prof. Ms: departure from Dardanelle will be greatly re- gretted by all who know him. He will be missed not only in the High School where he had won an envia- ble reputation as an instructor, but by the press of Dardanelle, which his ready pen often helped out. We predict the World will boom with Morris as city editor, and we hope to receive It regularly.

 Now on this day the matter Of calling in the outstanding warrants against the County of Popei coming under adyisement and the Court being satisfied that there are Warrants out standing against the County that arc spurious and fraudulent, and which the County is not bound to redeem. and the Court being well and sufficiently advised and satisfied that those fraudulent warrants all bear date prior to the lst day of December. 1874. and the Court being advised and satisfied that said warrants on their face appear good and valid and that their fraudulent character cannot be ascertained without a comparison with the register of war rants issued, and the Court being further and fully advised in the premises, doth deem 1t ex- pcdient to call in all warrants outstanding against the County of Pope, issued and bearing date prior to the lst day of December, 1874, for the purpose of cancellation and reissue in or der to ascertain said fraudulent warrants.
