SULPHUR SrRrSG, Nov. l, 1880. s+o~s RuaaallviIlc namocrat


 It Is with sad heart that I say that Mir. c. w. Lawrence, while cleaning the lint from his gin saws was caught by the left hand, drawing his whole arm fin which was 80 badly mangled that 1t had to be taken of. He suffered most severe for thirty hours, then went to live with the angels. Mir. l.. was one of our foremost men and much liked by all who knew him. With his grief stricken family we all svmpathise.
 Crops are very good, especially corn. Health is very good for the season. There Is much improving going on in our valley. Every one in hurry. every body trying to get ahead of everybody. A good deal of wheat sown here. There is but little talk if the coming election. Everybody has something to say about the new mill and gin of Kuhn, RstciI- ardson & Rankin's, which is success; :; they have put up near 100 bales of cot ion. There is dry goods store, 8 blacksmith shop, and one new dwelling in our young village. No whiskey allowed to be sold here. Persons buys ing lots forfeit their deed when they sell whiskey. Montgomery keeps his wagon running but he sells so fast he can't keep his stock full. Upon the whole everything about here has an air of get up and get. c. F.

Wonderfully Interesting.

"Brick" Pomeroy has made great hit with his new paper The Great West, which he started in Denver last June, and which he sent to more than 25 ,000 subscribers to his old paper, Pomeroy's Democrat, after it was sus- pended, following the forgeries of his partner. The Great West is hand- some elght-page paper, illustrated each week with views of Colorado mines, mountainr, scenery, etc., and Is all in all wonderfully interesting paper, with it's Saturday Night chap ters, its valuable editorial letters des> cribing that rich country, Its letters from the people, it's red-hot editorials, crisd items, wit, ugliness, Home Col ner chats, news, etc. It is now red- hot, slapdab independent paper, above all party lines, but is death against United States bonds and all robberias of the poor. It is seut, one year for $2, or six copies one year for $l0. Since "Brck" made his big strike in the mines, he is making paper more lively than ever. Address, M. NJ. Pom sroy, Denver, Colorado, and send for the paper if you wish something you will read from end to ends-Ady.

The grading of David street is also much needed and a work that should not longer be delayed. The graveyard, too, should be laid of in lots and deeds of conveyance issusd to persons who have been waiting for weeks and months to purchase lots.

 --The Wick Brothers are among the most satisfactory and successful gin- ners in Pope county. Two bales of Pope county cotton have taken pre- miums this year--Mr. Browns at St. Louis, and MT. Spillers' at Little Rock, and both were ginned by the Wick Bros. The bale of Mr. Browns which took the premium last year, was also put up at the same gin. We congratu- late these young men upon their suc> cessful work.
 Nothing should be purchased in any "well regulated family" but what is really needed, and every head of family should not forget te visit Jacob son for household purposes. He can not be undersold.
 --The total number of bales of cotton shipped over the Ft. Smith road this season up to the 26th ult., aggregated 23,709 bales, or nearly one>fourth as much as the road carried during the whole of last season. Of this number Russellville shipped 3,543 bales, and was third best in the list of twenty shipping points. This station will ship not less than 10000 bales before the close of the season.
 As cold weather is approaching there is not single person who should be without good substantial overcoat, and we advise all to inspect the largest variety at Jacobson's.
 We were gratiied to receive call
  last Monday from Mir. Henry M. Hook, special correspondent of the Engineer ing ard Mining Journal, published in New York City. Mir. Hooks visit to Arkansas is to investigate our mineral deposits and report upon their abun> dance and value. Mir. Hook informs us that he has already made, and will continue to make, accurate reports of our minerals and mining prospects. His trip will be of incalcnlable benefit to Arkansas, for his journal is the or> gan of mining capitalists in New York, and his favorable reports will attract attention to our mineral fields and di- rect the investment of capital therein. Mir. Hooks mission is attended with many hardships and we trust the peo- pie of this community will extend to him every attention and make his stay both comfortable and profitable. We would recommend to our readers the importance of pointing out to this gem tleman every mineral deposit in this locality in order that it's character and richness may be fully determined.

 LETTER! CHEAPER!! and MORE OF IT: We want to talk furniture to you. and to say that we now have very large lot just received from the factory by the car load, which for SUPERIORITY of woRKMANsHIP and GREATNESS beats anything that we have ever before been able to offer the public. These goods are from HOME FACTORY now Tn oper- ation at Fort Smith. Every piece is made of SOUND HARD WOOD, and is worth fifty per cent. more than furniture made of the ordi- nary pulpy wood commonly shipped here. We have the exclusive sale of this furniture here, and we are able to offer it CHEAPER (on account of low freight) than the common trashy fur niture has heretofore sold. Don't buy your furniture anywhere else, but come and see these fine hard wood goods, and you will be delighted. Remember it can be had only at J. l.. SHINs's.
 We regret to have to speak of the carclessness and indifference with which certain much needed work IS treated by the town authorities. The condition of the abutment of the wagon bridge on David street is such that footmen are forced to wade shoe-mouth deep in mud to get from the east-end

How Happiness is Secured.

Happiness is the absence Of pain OF
annoyance, and wherever there is pain
there is disease, A pain in the lower
portion Of the body indicates a disor-
der of some kind. If there is any
odor or color or deposit in the urine
it means disease and requires attention
at once. We have heard many of opl

BOYS IN POLITICS.
The Example OfJimmy Garfield,
the Canal Boy, Bearing
Fruit.

Virginia New Chronicle
The youngsters are becoming as
much interested in the campaign as
their dads, and are getting up torch
light professions nearly every night.
The Hancock and English boys
marched up to Colonel Fairs resi-
dence Monday night and gave three
cheers for the next United States
senator, whereupon Mrs. Fair invited
the youngsters in and treated them TO
lemonade and cake. There was a very
pious- looking little boy in the compa-
ny-just as polite a little boy as you
could find anywhere" as Mrs. HAYES
would say-sna to him Mrs Fair gave
- 80 to pay the campaign expenses of
the club. He had never driven a
mule on a towpath or rang the bell at
Hiram, but he showed that he had the
stuff in him for a credit mobilier cop :
gresham. He took the money and ran
away with it, and it now appears that
he is a Garfield boy, who was allowed
to join the procession for fun. The
Enterprise yesterday said it was Fatty
Blake" but Fatty" came around 70
the Chronicle Office last night in q
very indignant frame Of mind to tell
the reporter that he wa not the boy.
and that he wa half inclined to sue
tive enterprise for libel. Master
Blake was informed that Mr.. Sharon.
one of the owners of the Enterprise, is
a very poor man, having told the PEG
pie that he had given all his money to
the widows and orphans, and cOnse-
quently could not stand a libel suit.
The slandeFea youth then handed the
reporter the following:

The net income of the national gov
ernment Cor the year ending June 30,
last, was s338, 526, GLOSS, or over a mil
lion per day, not including Sundays.
This is to be shown by the forthcom-
ing statement of the secretary Of the
treasury. The receipts from customs
were $lS6, 522.064.22; from internal
revenue. Sl24,O O9, 1892 from sale Of
public lands, 81 ,Ol6, sos other sources,
about $22, OOO. 1000. The net ordinary
expenses of the government for the
year vas S267, 642, 957. 78, The war de-
partment cost S38, 116, 1882; the navy,
$l3, 536, 1854 a. pensions, $50, IN, 174.4I;
interest on the public debt, $95,757,
575.11; Indians, $5,945,457. 09; civil
and miscellaneous, $54, 722, 529,76. The
interest above noted includes the
amount paid on bonds issued to the
Pacific railways, which was about,
$3,S7s, 25O.72.
On the FIRST of the present month,
according to the report of the comp
troller of the currency, the resources
of the national banks Of the United
States was 2,l05, 786,625, and the
banks at that time held $lO9, 500
in gold, silver coin and silver certif-
Gates.
Within the past month nearly 49,
0O0, 900 in exchange on New Orleans
has been sold at New York at the cur
rent rate Of premium by the national
government. There has been more
money on hand in New Orleans for
account of the government than
was needed for disbursement there,
and the secretary of the treasury
claims that it was clearly to the pub
lie interest to make such sales, the
money being delivered to purchasers
upon Geographic orders, as 0 o as
the transaction was made IN New
York. The secretary says he would
not be justified in taking such action,
unless it was to the interest Of the
government to do so.
Our local money market presents nc
features of especial interest, beyond
an active movement in exchange, and
a moderate demand for commercial
discounts, rates of which are steady at
per cent The supply of money is
ample for all legitimate purposes.
Cotton bills on the east offer freely
and are taken by the banks at to &c
discount, and ON New Orleans at lc
of. Drafts on both New York and
New Orleans are unchanged, and can
be bought at par.

The Last Week.

New York HERALD
Reasonable people, those who are
nervous and hate crowds and noise,
fireworks, excitement and defamation,
will rejoice that this ! sthe last week Of
the campaign. The country will be
better when the tension is past. Pub
lie and private good feeling will i'm.
prove. 1t has been an angry canvass,
full Of bitterness. The leaders of both
parties have done things unblushing
ly which they will regret before
Christmas. The violation Of private
honor, the peculation of private dis
patches, forgery condoned, forgery
and SANDER piled upon each other,
Misrepresentation, threatenings, in.
vective, insult and contumely have
poured down upon us like a Gomorrah
shower of burning sulphur, In
this business one party has
been quite as bad as the other.
We are glad that the last week has
come. We care little for the result OF
the election, knowing that the country
is safe anyhow, but we are anxious to
have it over, We trust it will be re-
membered as the last campaign Of cal
jimmy. The calumny campaign began
even before the nominating Conven-
tions met. II was directed against
the candidates of both parties-Til-
den, Grant, Bayard, Blaine and Sher-
man. The stream couldpotbe stopped,
1t ran on, swelling and bursting, and
filling the land with nnisome odors.
Perhaps four years from now We shall
be in a higher frame Of mind, and re,
membering the degradation Of the can.

have a campaign which will recall tb,
