----ls-a4zas VALLEY TOWNSHIP.

we regret very much to learn that there is some dissatisfaction about the formation of the new township named IS above. It is always with reluctance that we intermeddle with such matters which we believe ought to be left to the parties whose local interests are directly affected to settle. We would not now have a word to say in the matter were it not to protect our town from the injury which might come from the ill will of some who seem to blame Russell vile for the formation of Valley township. We desire to ask all reasonable men why this town should he held responsible for it? The town has had not the least thing in the world to do with it. We do not suppose there are ten men in Rus sellville who know anything about it; and we are authorized by the County Judge to say that his action in the premises was not influenced the least iota by any man in Russell vile. He informs us that he acted in the premises solely according to his own con victions of right, and to comply as far as possible with the wishes of the majority of the citizens Of the territory made into the new town ship.
 We understand too little about the matter now to venture any opinion as to the propriety of the action taken by our County Court, but we know Judge Wilson sufficiently well to believe that all assertions that he has been influenced by any other motive than to subserve the public good, without any reference to poh- tics or political parties, are without sufficient foundation to justify such belief.
 We have heard that petition for the new township and also a remon- strance against it was presented; i; that the remonstrance had more names on it than the petition, but that after the names from outside of the territory included in the new township were stricken from each paper the petition for the township was found to contain the greater number of names. We hear also that the geographical nature and topo- graphical formation of the territory made it very difficult for a large DOT tion of the voters of Gum Log town ship to reach the voting precinct as tho township was arranged before the formation of Valley township, and that the new arrangement leaves it much more convenient for the people.
 We trust all these things will be taken into consideration and that the good people of those townships will drop all feeling which may have been engendered in this matter, and go ahead friendly and fraternally as they have done heretofore.

The Morillton Dollar has flick ered.-RusselNille DEMOCRAT. An other magnificent but unsuccessful effort to tell the. truth.--Morrillton Dollar.
 Our brother of the Dollar need not be so waspish. We noted the sus- pension of the Dollar upon the au- thority of the former editor of that paper made formally through the columns thereof, and we see no oc- Casion for the new editor to make a long cared ammal out of himself thus early in his journalistic career over the matter. To show that we were aetuated by no other motives than to give the news, we now an nounce that the. publication of the Dollar has been resumed. On the first page Mr T. r. McElwee is an, uoEaced as editor and publishers oA

Coblentz as publisher, the third page is edited and published by some patent inside" publisher in Memphis, Nashville, St. Louis, or somewhere else; the fourth page is edited by T. F. McElwee, (H. c. Warner, proprietor). We hope we have this time made a successful eff fort to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about the Dollar. Are you satisfied, gentle men?

The Russellyillc DEMOCRAT claims to be the only democratic pa per in Pope county, and the Atkins News sets up still another claim in which It asserts that it is the only pure anti-Tilden Democratic paper ln Pope, and therefrom we are likely to hear of . controyersy.-Morrillton State.
 Ned, if you undertake to render unto Caesar the things winch are Cyesar's" you should withhold noth- ing. You hayn't done so in the above. You have cut off and with held nearly one half of the title to which the News has set up a claim. It is this: "The only pure democrat ic, independent, anti Tllden organ in Pope County" But there will be no controversy over it, Ned; the News is more than welcome to all the distInc- tion which it's rather contradictory, high sounding and elongated title will bring it.

The Courier-Jourral is saying some ugly things about Indiana's great statesman. It conspicuously publishes the following editorial:
 "Mr. Thomas A. Hendricks of In diana, is in conspiracy to defeat the nomination of the old ticket. Mir. John Kelly, of New York is his back CT. The two are engaged in an in- trigue to lose New York to the Dem ocrats thls fall. This IS the end of Hendricks. He is fool as well as a conspirator. Let all men disown him."
 It will be a hard matter for the Courier Journal to make us believe that MT. Hendricks is playing the role here attributed to him. We regard him as a sound democrat, true as steel, and as 8 noble statesman.

Some of the papers of the State are. still protesting against the grat- ,itous publication, by other papers of the delinquent land lists.

The DeOth-rGte OF

Our country is getting to be fearful
ly alarming, the average Of life being
leSsened every year, without any rea-
sonable cause, death resulting general
ly from the most insignificant origin.
At this season of the year especially,
a cold is such a common thing that in
the hurry of every day life we are apt
to overlook the dangers attending it
and often find too late, that Fever
or Lung trouble has already set in.
Thousands lose their lives in this way
every winter, while had BoSchee's Ger
man Syrup been taken, d cure would
have resulted, and u large bill from a
Doctor been avoided. For all diseas-
es OF the Throat and Lungs, BoScbee' S
German Syrup has proven itself to be
the greatest discovery Of it's kind in
medicine. Every Druggist in this
country will tell yoL of its wonderful
effect. Over 100000 bottles sold last
year without single failure known.

TO BOYS AND GIRLS.

] wish to ask the BOYS and girls why
they do not study as hard us they play
Perhaps they will answer that they do:
bu. ii tney will pardon me for the
contradiction, [ will say that they do
not. Let us see. | have known BOYS
who would pull their sleds up a hill
forty times during noon intermisSiOn
and veil "Hurrah boys" every time, to
grUnble the first thing after school
called about the length Of the geogra-
ply lesson. [ have seen girls play
''PNllaWay' for an hour and then heard
them complain that The reading lesson
was too long. / have known the larger
pupils of school to be ready for eve
ry evening party. sOciable, singing
school, on mite society, and have heard
the same pupils declare that they could
not stand the amount Of work which
the teacher required of them. Now,
boy and girls, is this far? Is it right
to give better attention to your play
thon TO your work? 1t is atsention
which l ask Of you. l like to see boys
ant girls take hold of their book us if
they meant business. | want boys to
take mold OF book as they do bat,
as if they meant to do something with
it. | wish the girls to go to their
studies as they do to their play
flashing eyes, and heart in the work.
want you to play when you play, land
work when you work. No one likes to
see pupils play better than | do. No
teacher has played longer and harder
with his pupils than have; but when
school calls, Che door should be shut
on all outside work, and pupils ought
to go at their studies with the same
vim and earnestness that they gave to
their plays. Never think of your play
while you are at your books. Let to-
morrow take care OF tomorrow in
that line. The reason that SO many
boys and girls fail to learn their les
sons is because they cannot, or do not,
fix theirminds on the subject in hand.
''Atte1ttio21 is the one, sure, safe, desi-
rable, remuderative quality" needed
"DO do what you do do" and do it
when it ought to be done. THE boy
is father to the man" and if your mind
Wanders when you are q boy, it will be
the same when you are man. Never
leave a thing until it is done, and done
well. Never fly from one thing to an
other. Remember that Jack of all
trades" is never success

TOWN LIBRARIES.

Salem and Bristol have town libra
ries; the other towns III the county
have none. A library might easily be
started in each of the other towns. Dis
trcC libraries as d rule are failures;
Du0 there are enough books scattered
through the districts Of each town to
IN IKE a good nucleus for a town library.
How would the following plan work 4?
Let some central place be chosen for
the location OF the town library; then
let each district in the town donate
the books in its library to the town
library. We now have something to
start with. Now start subscription
papers In different parts Of the town.
and We can get from $500 to 5000; this
amount will buy a large number Of
books, ii it is put into the hands OF
some one who knows how to buy A
few dollars raised each year at town
meeting would enable the town to add
books each year. People who are not
able to pay, should be allowed to draw
the books for nothing; those who are
able to do so, might pay Il small annu-
al fee, say fifty cents q year This
would pay a librarian, and add books
TO the library. Who will move in this
matter? Two or three men in each
town can do this if they will. A short
time ago, IN the central part OF the
state, 5000 were subscribed at an eve
ming party for the purpose of starting
a town library. Let's have one of
those parties.

COUNTY SCHOOL TAX.

The amount of county school tax
levied by the County Board of Super
yisors for the coming year is only
about one-half as much us they levied
last year. The only effect of this will
be to raise the tax to be raised by the
district. In some towns it was known
that the county tax would be lowered
and the districts made provision &C
cofdingly; in other towns the fact was
not known, and the districts in those
towns Will be obliged to keep theil
expenses at q low figure as possible, SC
as not to run in aebt. AS the county
tax decreases. the district tax must in
crease, and the amount of tax Daid
will be the same in the end.
