PRESS OPINIONS.

Bentonvilie Corrier: We favor the calling of convention to adopt a new constitution by the next Leg islature, among others, for the follow ing reasons, Executive and state officers should be elected for four years, judges for six and Prosecuting Attorneys for four years, Sheriffs Clerks and other county officers for for four and Legislators for four. The Exemption law should be fnodi- fled, so as te give only forty acres for Homestead and specific person al property.
 Little Rock Democrat: Senator Garland has introduced bill to pro vide against lapse in the preslden- tial office. It provides that in case of the removal, death, resignation or inability of both the president and vice-president, the secretary of state, or secretary of the treasury, or secre- tary of war, taking them in tue order named, shall act as president until the removal of the disability or the election of president in the man ner and at the time provided in the constitution and laws.
 Benton Courier: If the Democ- ratio party is true to itself, it will throw over board the Gold ringsters" who have been successfully floating along in the sea of mediocrity, until 1t is threatened with destruction. What it needs, is live, go head men of acknowledged ability, with nerve and moral courage enough to declare policy or principle and skill and talent enough to defend it. What the democratic party needs in Arkansas is vitality.
 Little Rock Democrat: The bill of Senator Lapham for the better protection of the lives of presidents IS contrary to the genus and spirit of our institutions. In our country the life of the president is no more sacred than that of the humblest citizen. The laws guarantee to eacl full protection and any discrimina. tion strikes at the root of our Amer. ican system. The idea embraced in the Lapbam bill is essentially un, American.
 Ozark Democrat: Democrats, fol and against Amendment, stop abus ing each other if you don't want to split the party. Contend with might and man argumentatively for your opinions, but cease villification.

 looked after. The Grand Jury iu session at tho recent term of the court had before them the matter of oveEseers failing to work the roads, but could not see how they might justly indite some and let the balance go. So they just agreed among themselves that they would notify all the overseers of the fact, and that they (the present Jury) would report their action in the matter, together with their recommendation to the next Grand Jury, at the spring term. So you see how the matter stands now. A hint to the wise is sufii. cient.
 AFTER CHRISTMAS
 comes tax paying day, or at least it never has failed to come heretofore, and Sheriff Hogins is now having his bond filled preparatory for col lecting the state and county reve- nues for the year 1881, and will be on his round at the usual time and places for that business. Persons holding claims against the county in the way fjuror certificates, witness fees X c., expecting to use the same paying their taxes will bear In mind that the said claims must be prcsen. ted to the County Court for allow ance before the same will be taken for taxes, or other debts due the county by the collector. County Court will be in session for that pur- pose on the first Monday in January. Juror certificates issued by the clerk at the recent term of the court for the pay of Grand ani Petit Jurors amounted in the aggregate to about $l, 300. SCRAP.

A NEW YEARS GIFT.
J. l.. Shinn's Grand Piano Draw. and How It is to be
 Conducted.

Having promised my patrons, in last weeks paper, to publish this week the mode of drawing for the piano, we will endeayor to do so as briefly as possible. We can conceive of no better plan of conducting the drawing than the one resorted to last year, still, that all par ties interested may be perfectly satis- fled as well as have justice done them, we have concluded to have regular drawing.
 The number of every ticket which we have given out will be written on small slips of paper, and all the slips of pa per placed in box provided for that purpose. In a similar box will be plac- ed just as many blank slips of paper, on one of which will be written PRIZE. Al ter all have been we'll mixed, boy will be chosen from the audience and blindfolded and allowed to draw from each box one ticket at time until the blank marked PRIZE is drawn. Then the number which he holds in his oth- CT hand is the lucky number, and the holder of that ticket, the lucky man who is entitled to the piano.
 But as there is but one prize, it must be remembered that only one can draw it, and as every ticket is gift from us, and has cost the holder nothing, all should be satisfied with the result. We do not promise piano to every one who holds a chance, but we do promise a fair and impartial drawing, and that all concerned may witness the drawing, we have procured the Masonic Hall where all our customers, as well as otll CT readers of this paper are cordially invited to be present.
 The drawing will positively take place on Saturday, the 3lst inst. and will begin at ten o'clock in the morn- ing.
 Mess. James Potts, Wm NJ. Oates and B. F. lobe of the Democrat, have kind ly consented to become part of the committee, and it is our request that Sherifl Hogins, k. II. Smith and w. W. Breshears be present to assist in con- ductlng the drawing. Should any of the above gentleman fail to be present, the vacancy can be filled from the au- dience.
 And now, as the year is drawing to a close, we take this opportunity of thanking our customers for past patron age, and with "a merry Christmas, and a happy new year to alp we very res- pectfully solicit your patronage for the coming year, feeling confident we can be of more service to you in the future than-in the past. Very truly yours

RUSSELLYILLE.

For the benefit of . great number of our readers who live abroad, we desire to publish short chapter on our place and people. Russell vile contains about eleven hundred inhabitants, which number is being increased by constant additions of immigrants. The town is pleasantly situated--has one railroad and pros poets of one or two more. Russell. vile is distant from Little Rock 75 miles; Ft. Smith, S5; Dardanelle, 4; Dover, 10; Scottyille, 16; Atkins, 12; Potts Station, 5. Rnssellville is known the country over as one of the most thrifty and ambitious towns in this part of the state. Our people are liberal and high minded, and there is scarcely better locality for people seeking homes or business opening. We have a fine school building. and public graded school in operation, with over 300 students enrolled. We have four beautiful churches, and many nice residences. The fresh invigorating atmosphere, the advantages of good school, churches, and excellent society, make it desirable as a place of residence, and the facilities offered for the mar keting of productions or the inter change of commodities with other parts of the country, make Russell. vile an advantageous point for the transactioh of business, or the erec- tion of manufacturing establish ments.
 Pope county is one of the best in the state. It is well settled with an intelligent, reading people, fully ur with the age, and making good strides forward in the march of pro. gress. Its people are largely engag- ed in agriculture, but recently mi. ming and manufacturing have begun to attract attention, and under the fostering influence of enterprise, it is not improbable that in few years old Pope will have added greatly to her already large popula. tion of over fifteen thousand.

After President Arthur gets his Cabinet disposed of it is understood that he will take up the Public Print er contest and select a successor for Defrees. This old public function ary has certainly been in long enough. and his administration has been scarcely less objectionable and corrupt than that of his predecessor. Clapp. He is too old for such pos ition and entirely too cranky. Even If honest himself he has been sur rounded by bad lot, whose con trol appears to have been absolute. The office is a very important one and ought to be filled by competent men. There is strong probability that 5. P. Rounds, of Chicago, will capture the prize.

CUR FIT. SMITH LETTER.
Editors Russollyille Democrat

Editors Russcllyille Democrat
 Once a year I visit the Border City, having daughter and several old time friends living Tn the place. So l am here again and with little leisure, which I don't often have at home, I send yon few pencilled thoughts. First of all is the remark able growth of every town on the railway from Atkins to Ft. Smith. If the country IS growing as rapid ly as the railway towns, it is all right, and suppose such is the case, for the cars are filled with new com CTS. The managers of the Little Rock & Ft. Smith railway have help. ed very much in bringing about this result. Some may think they are coming too fast, but can't see it that way if they are honest, indus trious immigrants. We were all new corners once.
 The Ft. Smithers are rushing set, spreading out, building brick & stone blocks and fine suburban hous es.
 The Avenue" is very wide street with wide, finely paved, or Jagged sidewalks. The citizens are very proud of their City, and expect when more roads are finished, to rival the City of Roses; and it looks as if her prospects were good. There has been a monstrous rise in prlccs of town property here. The people here see and feel the necessity of more manufacturing establishments, and no doubt the boom that way will be kept up until all the furniture, wagons, blows and many. many oth CT articles are made here. Let Rus sellvile and Atkins profit by their example.
 Consumers complain of high prices and farmers of short crops, but think there is very little actual suf fering-the building of so many new roads give employment to laborers and scatters money through the country.
 I miss many of the old landmarks. Old citizens are dropping of, one by one. like the last of the Autumn leaves. Cane brakes will soon be known no more. The genial smiles of the Rcctors and Wheelcrs, and several others are missed on the Av- enue. l hope their home Over There is pleasant one.
 But befere close, I would say word for the people of the country, they need better schools, and better dirt roads. How are they to get them? The State can not be perma- nently prosperous unless farmers are allowed to enjoy, at least, small portion of the wealth they create. Legislators and City people are too selfish and feel too htsle interest in the welfare of the "clodhopper" who raise all the cotton, hog and hominy, and who do so little thinking tor themselves. c. E. TOBEY,
 Ft. Smith, Dec. 10. 1881.

Mir. c. L.

Just think of it.: at a supper the other night, although chronic dyspeptic, he says he ate, at l2 o'clock, fried oysters, chicken salad and ice cream, after which taking dose of Iron Bitters, he never spent more pleasant night, with no dyspeptic symptoms in tine morn ing.

This Preservatiye Is not liquid, pickle, or any of the old exploded pro- cesses, but is simply and purely OZONE as produced and applied by an entirely new process. Ozone Is the antiseptic principle of every substance, and pos sesses the power to preserve animal and vegetable structures from decay. There is nothing on the face of the earth liable to decay or spoil which Ozone, the new preservative, will not preserve for all .ime in perfectly fresh and palatable condition.
 The value of Ozone as natural pres server has been known to our abler chemists for years, but, until now, no means of producing it in practical, inexpensive. and simple manner have been discovered.
 Microscopic observations prove that decay is due to septic matter or minute germs, that develop and feed upon animal and vegetable structures. Ozone, applied by the prentiss method, selzes and destroys these germs at once, and thus preserves. At our offices in Cincinnati can be seen almost every article that can be though. of, prescr- ved by this process, and every visitor is welcome to come in, taste and smell,
  way the merits of Ozone as a preserva- tive. We will also preserve, free of charge, any article that is brought or sent prepaid to us, and return it to the sender, fo- him to keep and test. FRESH MEATS, such as beef, nut ton, veal, pork or poultry, game fish, &c., preserved by this method, can be shipped to Europe, and subjected to atmospheric changes and return to this country in state of perfect preserva- | tion.
 | EGGS can be treated at a cost of less i than one dollar thousand dozen, and be kept in an ordinary room six months or mora. thoroughly preserved, the yolk held in it's normal condition, and the eggs as fresh and perfect as on the day they were treated, and will sell as strictly "choiee." The advantage in preserving eggs is readily seen, there or seasons when they can be bought for s or 10 cents a dozen, and by holding them, can be sold for an advance of from one hundred to three hundred per cent. One man. with this method, can preserve 5000 dozen day.
