Frank Lesllc.s Sunday Magazine.

Frank Lesllcss Sunday Magazine.
 The March number IS promptly on our table taking precedence of all it's contemporaries. It is in ev- cry respect, most admirable one; a religious, pure and moral tone per. vades it's pages, and still they abound with articles which appeal to all tastes and all classes, and from the perusal of which the reader cannot fail to derive both entertainment and edification. There are so many good things that It is dticult to select the most notable features. The opening article, by Hart Lytton, entitled Esther Brandon's Mission Class" is very pleasing narrative of the lady's experience in the Mission. "The Puritan Revolution" by Rev. Lyman Abbot, is replete with the stirring incidents resulting in the organization of the Puritan party under Cromwell Those admirable articles on "The Prosecutions" by Alfred H. Guernsey, are concluded in this number with a most inter esting paper on "The Prosecutions of the Hngenots," in France under Louis XIV. The two very interest ing serials, "Be. Be, the Nailmaker's Daughter" and "Little Hinges are continued, and the:e are several sto- ries by popular writers. The sub ject No. p of 'The Children of the Bible," is "Isac the Child of Prom ise." An elaborate article on the late Frank Leslie, by the editor with lllastrations), is a beautiful tribute to the artistic and personal merit of the deceased. There are poems of great excellence, sketches, adyentur- es, essays, etc, and musical com position, "I Have Glorious Hope," words and music written for this magazine by Augusta Browne Gar rett. One hundred and twenty eight quarto pages and 100 illustra- tions: the price of . single copy % cents, or $3 per annum, postpaid. Address.

THE ROAD OvERsEERs.

It is rumored that several road overseers in this county have been arrested and are held for trial on indictment for neglect of duty. We are glad to know that at least one Grand Jury has been awake to the importance of looking after the pub lio interest in this particular, and we hope the Honorable Court vii! insist that the road laws be respect ed.-Morrilton State.
 If the Grand Jury of Pope County does it's full duty at its next session we are of the opinion that a good many road overseers in this county will find themselves in the same fix that these Conway overseers have gotten into. It is the only way to ever get better roads--enforce the full provisions of the present road law, give it full and fair test, and then if IS seen that we cannot have better roads under the provisions of the law as 1t now exists upon our Statute books, the necessity for a new law willbc so apparent that our law makers will go to work and remedy the errors and defects of the present law. No road law in the world will do any good dAless its provisions are carried out. % It is not necessary for us to. enumeratc the advantages ofs good road oyer such THINGS as we now have. Everybody

DELINQUENT LANDS-FAIR
 WARNINGS!

Lanus returned uellnquenL Dy tne collector for the taxes of 1878, will be subject to redemption up to the 2lst day of April next. After that time any person who applies for them nay purchase. We under stand there are some valuable lands yet on the list. Owners thereof should attend to the redemption thereof before it is too late.
 And in this connection word of warning to all who may desire to be secure in the title to their lands:
 Wherever there are prescribed forms laid down by law for the ac- quirement and perfection of land titles, these forms must be strictly and literally complied with or there will be a flaw in the title. Now there IS a certain procedure laid down by law, PLAIN AND MANDATORY, prescribing EXACTLY how owners of lands which have become delinquent for non payment of taxes, may re- possess themselves of . good lawful title to said lauds, One of the pro- visions of thIs law is that the person who applies to redeem any such for feited land shall deposit with the county Treasurer the required re- demption funds, and one dollar for printers fees, and cause notice of such application to be published for three weeks over the county clerks signature. This publication is one of the important and mandatory provisions of the law, and to neglect it is, in our opinion, fatal to the per lection of the title. Through an erro- neous construction of the law (as we contend) this important notice is seldom given by applicants in our county, the county officials holding that the purchaser MAY WAIVE SUCH PUBLICATION.
 This may all be very we'll as long as the purchaser at tsx-sale lives, but suppose in after years, some representative of such purchaser should set up a claim to such lands, and put up the plea that the redemption title was imperfect and invalid, from the fact that the publication required by law had never been made. Is it not quite likely that such claim would be sustained?
 Why is it that the Railroad com pany when they redeemed thelr lands went to the expense Every con siderable to them) of giving this publication2 Simply because they knew that the validity of their re- demption title could at any time be upset unless this part of the law was complied with.
 We advise all parties who redeem lands to have the required publics ton made. .
 For the sake of saving one dollar you cannot afford to cloud the title to your lands in doubt and uncertain ty. When you make application to redeem lands deposite the dollar for publication along with the other redemption funds and demand of the county clerk that he cause the proper publication to be made. IL is the only safe plan. Don't depend upon any waiver of this notice by the purchaser, FOR THE LAW PRO- vIDEs for no such WAIVER, and even if it did, it might put you to much trouble hereafter to establish the fact that such waiver had

Importance of Tne General
 Assembly.

The most important officer to be elected by the people is really the legislator. He has the making of the laws, and, to secure good gov ernment, the enactment of wise and wholesome laws is as necessary as their faiShful and efficient execution. It seems to us that this should be clear to every mind. If the power to make and declare the laws under which we are to live, was vested in one man, we could readily see how far above all others in importance his election would be. All the pow CT of the State would rest in his hands, and the executive and judi ciary would be merely his instru- ments, either for good or evil.
 While this would be the case were all this power vested in the hands of one, why is it net equally so when it is placed in the hands of one hun dred. The office of the legislator is really one of the greatest power and dignity in the state, and one to fill which, with . proper incumbent, should occupy the gravest consider ation of the people.
 But, in spite of this, how is it in practice? The office of sheriff or clerk of the county claims the chef attention of the voter, while the high position of legislator is most gener- ally swapped and traded of to secure some favorite for some county office. Until this is remedied, the people have no right or reason to complain if they have defective laws, or even an inefficient administration of good ones. We trust this summer more much more-thought and atten- tion will be given to the election of members of the general assembly than ever before, and that the purest, wisest and most enterprising of our citizens will be sent up to represent the different counties in that all powerful and august body.
 Our state is looming up in impor- tance, and attracting the attention of all who desire to seek homes in a new country, far beyond what the most observing either know or ina zine, and yet whether we shall gath CT them to us depends very much up on the wisdom and foresight of our next general assembly. We must have some wise and practical immi- grafton laws, and we must appropri- ate some means to carry them into effect. We must settle Tn some way the finances of the State. We must take a liberal and elevated course on all practical subjects, and cast be- hind us the narrow, contracted and penny wise manner of dealing with great public questions that has char acterized the past legislation of the state. To do this. we must elect men of pluck, thought and exper ience--mcn of comprehensive minds and large, liberal views. We have plenty of such all over the state; let the people seek them out and elect them.-Gazette.

when it attempts to monopolize ali
the railroads ia Middle Tennessee

an evil instead of q good. If the
Chicago, st. Louis d New Orleans,

If the L. & N. company mean to
carry out their promises, let them
without delay reduce and equalize

rates as competition would secure;
let them aid our people in all parts
of Middle Tennessee in building
cheap railroads into the mineral re-

let them give US practical assuran-

We are a very quiet people over

can put up with it when our Nash
vile daIlies are from four to five
days on the road, but when we are
deprived of the CITIZEN, forbearance
ceases to be a virtue. We always
look for it by Fridays mail, but the

Why are these things thus? Are
you going to cuss about it? We
really think you ought. Don't
leave it to US, for without help we
are in the same fix the little fellow
