1 ly lover there.' On said pole was found posted notice: Buy the Singer Sewing Machine" Sc says Mir. Hogins, and he knows.
 From the present signs I would Judge that the chilling blasts Of the past week had stirred up some home less mortal, as work has been resum- ed in earnest on the cottage" in west Dover, or it may be that one Of those spicy communications intend ed for the Independent Arkansian has been misdirected hope not.
 Dover is looking up and progress is reported. A nes and much need ed enterprise was set up last Satur- day in the way of q beef market by T. c. Goodman in the side room ad joining the drug store. Mir. c. pro poses to kill none but choice beeyes and will supply the market iD meat three times per week, more or less to suit the demand, and would be- speak for him liberal patronage.
 Prof. Jones and family of Russell vile, were visiting friends in Dover last week. The Prof. as county ex- aminer filed his annual report of children as enumerated by the di rectors for Sept. 1881, and which for once IS full report, but the direc- tors statistic or Annual Report is mere farce which suppose will be given and will speak for itself.

 The late threatening approach of another hard winter, or from some other good cause, a timely interest was manifested among the uamar ried population, and business was lively with the clerk in the sale Of Hymenial documents. Only three licenses were issued in one day, and then the clerk looked sou: because two or three more did not call around. 1 fear that William looks at the mat ter from financial standpoint--but be that as it may-lieenses were is. sued to the following parties: George Rice and Miss Ellen E. Guthrie, F. F. Hills and Miss Alice Ghoram, John Franeburger and Miss Elizabeth Dedmon, J. B. Putnam and Miss Alice Hickox, J. L. Brown and Miss Maggie Dixon, and Jas. K. Billie and Miss P. J.

 This time it is at Richard Cloman's the accommodating hack man on the Dover line, and who is always on hand to go through thick or thip, failed to make the usual round last Friday. Why?
