A Curious Tradition.

Among the many Heidelberg tradi-
tons of duelling is the following: Two
students fought and each sliced off the
others nose. The noses fell to the
ground, and, being picked up by the
seconds, were pastered again on the
faces of the duslists. The operation
succeeded, but in the hurry the noses
had been. changed. The aquiline man
henceforward had snub and the snub
man had an aquiline nose.

The Russellville Democrat., 1880-09-23

The state central committee has been advised by the clerk of the United States circuit court for the eastern dis triet of Arkansas that the court is now open in this city, and will remain open until the 2d day of November for the purpose of appointing supervisors of election for the several polls or. voting precincts of this state, under the act of congress providing for the same. Whenever ten citizens of good stand ing in a county make known in writing to the court their desire to have such election guarded and scrutinized it is the duty of tine court to appoint for each poll or voting precinct two super visors of election who are citizens of the county and residents of the voting precinct for which they are appointed, and who shall be of different political parties and are able to read and write the English language. l am invited by the clerk of the court by direction of the circuit judge, to recUm- mend suitable persons on behalf of the democrats, to act as supervisors.
 At meeting of the democratic state central committee, held this day, it was decided that, if the democratic com mittees in any of the counties desired the appointment of supervisors, upon forwarding application required, sign ed by ten respectable citizens, with a recommendation of the parties desired, the committee would ask their appoint ment. So far as the state committee is concerned we have faith in the honesty and integrity of the judges of election and will be satisfied with the result an- nounced by them. Besides, we take the same ground that our party did in congress and elsewhere throughout the country, that any act of congress which seeks to supervise, or in any manner to control an election in the states, is contrary to the letter and spirit of the constitution.
 However, should there be any desire for the appointment of such supervisors on the part of the democrats. in any of the countiet, they will be made.

 Seeing nothing from Powder Hills we send the following;
 Powder Hills is a mining district where the report of the blasting pow der can be heard every hour in the day. Hence the name.

His foreman, West, is driving tunnel on the Lady May lead; have driven twenty-three feet with an incline of one foot to three and splendid indications. They have good workmen in the tunnel, driller and striker. The striker, Elmer Me- Curdy, is splendid workman; he has the praise of old miners for being extra good at any kind of work and at strik- ing he cannot be surpassed. Mir. E. s. Peters, of Lebanon.

THE THIRD DISTRICT.

As predicted by the DEMOCRAT several weeks ago, the congressional al convention which met at Atkins on the 18th inst, nominated Hon. Jor- dan E. Craveas, for congress. This result doubtless meets the approba- tion of majority of the district, and is an apt illustration of "the survival of the fittest." Col. Ora vens has made a faithful and indus trious representative, and well de- serves the honor which has been conferred upon him by his party. We hope to see no laggards among the press or people of thls district, but united and zealous support ac- corded to the nominee.
 The Gazette thus alludes to Col. Cravens' candidacy:
 "Thc congressional convention at Atkins has again presented to the democracy or this, the Third con gresslohal district, the name ot Hon. Jordan K. Cravens as their candi- date. Col. Cravens has been already twice elected to congress from this district, and is therefore well known to the people. He has represented the state on the floor of the house of representatives for nearly four years, and in all things has eomported him. self well, making an able, an efficient and useful meuber. There is no doubt of his election and there should be none. Whether the re- pubhcans and green packers will put up candidates, or unite upon fusion candidate to oppose him, we do not know It makes but little difference what course they may pursue in the canvass, Col. Cravens will beat them singly or combined, and will continue for two years more to represent the district with the same distinction and ability with which he has repre- sented it in the past"
The Russellville Democrat., 1880-09-23

United States Marshal Torrans says that perhaps his party will nominate Dorsey for congress in this district.- Gazette.
 Up this way 1t is understood that Hon. Thomas Boles, of Yell county, lis to be the man. Whether It IS Boles, Dorsey, or Boyd, the green packer, either, or all of them, Col Jordan E. Cravens will be the repre- sentative elect from this district This is gospel truth,

Arkansas State Fair.

The State Fair opens at Little Rock on the 18th of October and closes on tho23d, and thus far we have heard of no exhibits to be made by Pope county. Will our good farmers, through negli- gencc and indifference allow such an opportunity to advertise and show the productivcness of our soil, to pass un- needed? We have raised abundant crops of every kind, and in some rss- poets considered the best ever raised in Pope county, and 1t would seem strange, indeed. if none eff these products should fail to be placed on exhibition at the state fair.

 THE. VOTE OF THE STATE.

The Gazette of the 18th lnst., con tains a tabular statement of the full vote of the state at the recent cleo tion for state officers, (except Chicot county. which. although unofficial, we presume is correct.
 For governor, Gen. Churchill re- ceived S3, 1899 votes, and Mir. Parks received 3l,1sl votes, ChurchilPs majority, 52,2ls. The total vote cast for governor being l4,5s0.
 The Gazetts's table also contains the whole number of votes cast in each county, which shows the total number of votes cast to be 128,111. Deduct the vote cast for governor and we find that there were 13,531 who, in voting, failed to vote either for Churchill or Parks. They were no doubt republicans mostly, as they had no candidate for governor.
 Frolich for Secretary of state re- ceivcd over 5000 more votes than Churchill for governor.
 The Gazette does not give in its table the vote on the amendment, al though it gives the total vote cast in each county. Why is the pre- else vote on the amendment with held from the public by the Little Rock papers when it is in the Secre- tary of States office?
