"'WHEN My SHIP COMES II and other
Rhymes of Camp and HEARTH Is the title
to an elegant little volume sent us by Major
I. J. Eckerson, u. S. a. The work is is
sued from the Cambridge Press, and is beau
tifully executed. Maj. Eckerson's rhymes
in days gone by have served to amuse and
please many friends in Vancouver, as well
as a host of friends in the army, and now
that he has been persuaded to put them in a
collective form, many will place them on
their tables. The preface to this charming
little volume is finer recommendation for
it than we could write, and we quote it:
"These rhymes are now, at the request of
friends whose judgment is perhaps warped
by their partality, thrown together in their
present form. Criticism upon these illusions
is not invited. as no poetic merit whatever
is claimed for them. They are simply
Rhymes jotted down from time to time, and
extended over many years. Such as they
are, dedicate them to My Beloved Wife,
my constant and faithful companion in my
journeys north, south, east and weston the
ocean, over mountain SHOWS, and across rivers
and plans-in the performance of my public
duties during the past 33 years."
This volume is prepared by the Riverside
Press of Cambridge, Mass, on heavy tinted
paper, elegantly bound in green and gold,
with gilt edges. 1t will be mailed to any
address, postage prepaid, upon receipt of the
price. $500. Remit to X. l. Eckerson, No.

SMALL Pox.-Several cases of this dread
disease existing ct Astoria, as well as many
more at Seattle, have created some alarm in
those towns, which are taking measures to
prevent its spread. In view of the existence
of the disease on the coast it would be well
for our people to prepare for stamping it out
at once should case appear in this city.
Our laws are sufficient, and will be strictly
enforced by the council in case the disease
appears.

often do, and supposed he had afterwards re-
moved it ALL Ever since about that time he
has been troubled with his hearing in that

part of the wad of cotton placed there fifteen
years before. Mr.. Lees hearing is now

U. s. LAND OFFICE. f. w. Sparkling,
of Seattle, recently appointed Register of the
Vancouver Land Office, arrived in this city
last week. On Tuesday of this week he
took possession of his office, and entered
upon his duties. DR.. Sparling's family will
remain in Seattle for the present. Before
leaving Seattle he was rendered very flat
tering reception by the people of that city,
and we believe that he will eventually be-
come as popular man in Vancouver as he
is in his old home.

The "TRAvELER" SUNK.-On Tuesday
morning when the steamer Traveller, with
Capt. Bailey at the wheel, was entering the
slough at the foot of Lady Island she ran
upon a sunken rock, soon after which she
filled and sunk in eight or ten feet of water.
This spot had often been passed over by the
river boats, and no accident has happened
until this time. Jacob Dubech yesterday
went to Portland to secure barges aud proper
appliances for raising the sunken boat, which
will probably be accomplished in few days.
EXCURSION On Tuesday next, the 30th
day of August, there is to be an excursion
to Oregon City from Vancouver and Port
land, given under the auspices of Ellsworth
Post, Grand Army of the Republic, Vancou-
yer. The steamer Lurline has been char
tered for the occasion. The proceeds of the
excursion are to be devoted to noble cause,
one of the best of all charitable purposes,
the creation of a fund for the relief of dis
tressed families of Union soldiers during the
late war. As such it deserves free and
hearty support from people OF all classes.

ORANGE BLOSSOMS.

Yesterday week, just after the eve- ming shadows had heightened them selves into nothingness aud twinkling little peppers had stolen out and were laughing merrily in heavens blue canopy, just as might have been ex- pected, happy little event took place at the residence of Dr. $. II. Buchanan in Little Rock, in which Frank H. Bar relic, formerly Of this place, and Miss Tillie Ware, of Little Rock, played the prominent part. Frank and his inten- dsd and couple of friends had started on pretended drive, and it was not until they were within a couple of blocks of the minister's house that any one suspected the wedding soon to take place. But it's s'done done" and we wish Frank and his fair lady joyous, happy and long life; prosperity, peace and plenty and full fruition of all the fond hopes of young hearts.

PUBLIC SCHOOL MEETING.

Hon. H. Clabe Howell has received the following letter which explains itself, and we give 1t as a matter of public importance, with the hope that directors will post themselves and make nd mistake iii holding the annual school meeting oil the 2lst inst,i
 LITTLE RocE, May ?, 1881. Hon. II. c. Howell, Russellvills, Ark:
 Dear Sir r:-Your favor just received You are correct in your construction of the law. The legislature changed the time of holding the annual school meetiHg--nothing more. The country districts will elect one director. Spe- cial school districts-districts that have six directors-will vote for or against tax at the annual meeting, and elect directors the third Saturday in Decem- cember, as heretofore. Yours very truly, JAS. L. DENTON,
 State Supt. Public Inst.
The Russellville Democrat., 1881-05-12

above act the milk in the cocoanut is found, and which caps the climax. School directors, if you have tears to shed you may just as well prepare to shed them now. In addition to per- forming the duties devolving upon you as directors under penalty of the law, in all districts hereafter where the spes cial school tax may be voted you are required by said section to at once orr ganize yourselves into board of enum- orators, turn out and at once enumerate all persons in your district liable to pay said tax and certify the same to the county clerk within fifteen days; by a failure to do so you will be liable to a fine. of not less than ten nor more than fifty dollars to be added to the school fund of your district A~good thing for the district in case you should be little short on funds for school pur. poses, It is presumed that we have an Assessor who IS elected and paid to per- form that duty, and why the same work is set upon the shoulders of the district school directors is not explained. The assessor annually in June and July goes to stated points in each township where the taxpayer is required to meet him and enlist his property, he not only takes the name of each person 'sliable to pay such special tax" but takes the value of the property, and the number of the district in which he or she may live, and when completed is filed in the clerks office under oath, what uiore could De wanted? Suppose that school director should lose four or five days hunting up the taxpayers of his district at a time when his labor on his farm would be worth five dollars day to him and file said list in the clerks effice-what would it De worth to the clerk without the value of the property? The result will be, that the clerk will take the assessor's list and from it extend the taxes for the collec> tor as he is required to do by law and will pay about as much attention to the directors list as a horse-hy does to . bob-tail bull on the prairie in Augtist. do not suppose there Is d school di- rector in Pope county who will give that section second reading. If there is, his successor should be elected at the next meeting.

Reich's New York Cash Store.

This Is the name of a new establish ment that has been opened up in Rus sellville at the old stand of k. Roth, on the corner of Main and Jefferson Sts. Mr. Reich has purchased the entire stock of K. and A. Roth, and has gone East to purchase new goods, which, when received, will make the stock at this house one of the largest and best ever offered in Russellville. The stock will be complete in all departments,v viz; dry goods, boots and shoes, mems, boys and youths clothing, notions, etc. MT. Reich pays cash for what he buys and takes cash for what he sells, hence the appellation of Cash Store, e,and while he does not propose to save the coun- try he DOES propose to save his custom er's money, which he will clearly dem onstrate by offering goods cheaper than any other house.

Tie trustees of the Peabody fund held their annual meeting at Washing ton City on the second day of February last. Dr. Sears having died in July last, his daughter, Mrs. John x. Fults, for years his private secretary, made a report of the years work. She noticed ali the southern states, and when she came to Arkansas she paid the follows ing compliment to superintendent Denton:
 Probably no state has eyer had a more energetic, efficient and enthusi~ astic superintendent than Arkansas in Hon. James l.. Denton. l find this several terms frequently applied to him in my fathers writings, and observe that his plans were usually approved and his wishes gratided. Such man

is of the greatest assistance to the gef- eral agent, and his influence among the people is not easily calculated. My father felt that no obstacles could daunt this brave spirit"

AS OTHERS SEE US.

A representative of the Chicago Prairie Farmer visited this section of country recently, and writing home has the following kind words to say of Russellyille:
 Russellville lies on the railway about eighty-nlne miles east of Fort Smith and has population of about 1,200. Quite an extensive business is done here in cotton, that product being brought to the markert from . radius of over fifty miles in either direction. Russellville is the only town of any importance in Pope county, and contalns besides the usual compliment of stores and shops and agricultural implement factory and a fine grist mill of which latter L. NJ. Smith is the affable proprietor. Splendid opening for furniture fac tory as we'll as bank are found here. Among the principal features of in terest found here I would mention the splendid school system; one of the finest school houses Tn the State being now in course of construction. MT. J. L. Shinn is the leading mer- chant of the place, carrying a stock valued at $60,000 and doing an an nual business of $l50,000. He is also large landed proprietor. Pope county has population of 15,000 and an area of sixteen town ships so that it will be seen that plenty of room is found for immi- grants. For furthur information the homeseeker Is referred to MT. James Potts, the local railway land agent.
