The Next Governor OF Arkansaw

Judge James H, Berry, the stand.
ard bearer OF the Democratic party in
the present campaign, is native of
Alabama, having been born at Belle.
fonte, in that State, in the year 1s4l.
The family removed to Arkaasaw in
1913, and settled in Franklin county.
In 1861, when young Berry was in his
twentieth year, he enlisted in the Con.
federate army, was elected lieutenant,
and at the battle of Corinth, October,
1862, lost his leg, After the war he
studied law, and was admitted to the
bar in Franklin county in 1867. AS
a lawyer he at once took a high posi-
ton, and has always been noted for
promptness, thorough preparation in
his cases and skilliul management Of
them. Whatever he attempted he did
we'll. In 1866 he was member Of
the Legislature, and again in 1872;
in the latter from Benton county.

displayed marked hbility--so much
that when the Democratic State Con-
vention assembled in 1916, he was at
once selected as its President. In
1873 Mr. Berry was elected Judge Of
the Fourth Judicial District, and has
held the Office since that time. As a
Judge he has been distinguished by
those excellent qualities which have
marked him as a lawyer, legislator
aud private citizen-honesty, courage,
fidelity to principle and efficiency in
the discharge Of duty. On the 18th
of April Judge Berry was announced
in the columns of the Democrat as a
candidate for Governor. On the after
noon of Thursday last he was nomi-

If he lives he will be elected Governor
of Arkansaw at the September cleo
ton, and the Democrat again ventures
the opinion that he will give the State
most excellent administration.

Still Working on the Census.

Colonel Seaton, superintendent of the
census, has about 800 clerks at work un-
der his direction, and he expects to have
the work of compiling the tenth census
completed by the end of the piesent fs-
cal year, June 80, 1883. 1t is possible
that one or two of the volumes of census
statistics may not be issued from the
printing office until after that date, but
the work of the bureau will then be
practically completed. The greatest
number of clerks employed under the
superintendent Of the census at any one
time has been 400 and the smallest
number 225. The total cost of taking
the census, including printing and expen-
ses not provided for in the direct appro-
priations for the maintenance Cf the
bureau. will be between five ard six
millions, probably about S., 900, 900. The
demand for copies of the census reports
has been SO great that the original esti-
mates of the pumber of volumes to be
printed has been largely exceeded.
An act of Congress, approved August
:, 1882, provided for the printing of TO-
900 copies of the report, additional to the
number first ordered, bes des 10000
copies each of the special Reports on
Population and Agriculture, 10000 o
the Report on Manufactures and Mechan
les. 600 on the History of n ttional Loans
and 1900 of the Reports on Fish anG
Fisheries. In addition there were order
ed printed 100000 extra copies of the
Compendium.
The distribution of the additional copies
of reports is entrusted to senators and
members of the House of Representa-
and the departments. All applications
from individuals or libraries for copies o
the reports are answered by presenting
such with cop, Of the law and refer
ing them to members of Congress.

GOOD ADVICE.

A young lady writes to Brick Pome-
roy as follows:
Would be safe in marrying man
whom love and who processes to love
me, and is handsome, well educated and
has plenty of the worlds goods, but is
addicted to strong drink yet says he will
abstain after marriage. when he has SOW
ed his wild oats am an orphan, and
write you as friend for advice"
Pomeroy answered about as follows:
"You had better get into your coffin,
pull down the lid yourself, and be conse-
Grated to your mother earth, than to
marry a man who drinks. There are
thousands of poor women whose lives
are wretched by listening to the promise
of reformation after marriage. If you
do not want to get into your coffin, take
the most foul obnoxious pieces of old
meat that you can find and take it to your
bosom for husband, rather than marry
a man who is debauched. degraded and
debased by strong drink"
The Cecil Whig., 1882-12-02
FISHERMEN'S WHOPPERS.

Why is it that fishermen tell such
whoppers9 A good sized book could be
made Of fish stories.
Tell the weight of the largest trout
you ever caught" said Eastern man to
native of Nevada.
WAL" was the answer, 81 can't eX-
actly tell as to the weight, but yeu folks
can figure on it. Now, you know it is
over two hundred miles around this yer
lake? Put that down. AS I said before,
don't know the weight of the biggest
fish ever yanked cut, but did haul
one upon the beach, and after had land
ed him, the lake fell three feet, and
you can see by the water mark over yon-
der that it hasn't riz since.''
Another fishermen, giving his exper-
Ience, says:
This fish began to pull away, and
every little bit the line would slack up,
and then the pulling would be twice as
heavy. At last it felt like locomotive
was at the other end of the line. and then
lost my presence of mind and jerked.
1t took pretty hard jerking, too, but at
last landed fish about sixteen feet
long. took it off the hook, and there
was another one two feet shorter, and so
on until | took off nine of them, and
then came the bait, still on the hook.
You see, the way of it was this. The
first fish was two and a half feet long.
AS soon as he got fast bigger one swal-
lowed him, a larger one swallowed them
both, and up until the ninth swallowed
the whole eight. If had only waited
they would have kept on until l would
whalebone would have sold readily for
TWO hundred dollars"
This will compare with Georgia fish
story, told most appropriately by gen.
teman named Bass. He said he caught
catfish, squirrel and an alligator all
upon the same hook at the same time.
The fish probably caught the squirrel
while swimming across the lake, and ar-
forwards caught and swallowed an alh- {.
gator, about foot in length, and then
found and swallowed the bait upon set
hook When a catfish starts out upon
foraging expedition he takes in every
thing. from wheelbarrow to saddle
blanket.
The fishiest of all fish stories comes
from Georgia. Several weeks ago
farmer with the unique surname of Smith
missed from his grange, on the Oostanau-
la River, heifsr about three years old.
and as it was fine stock, made diligent
but could not find it. A few
days ago a party of young men fishing on
the river were attracted by the smell of
dead carcass and upon examining the
cause 10! and behold they found a mon
ster catfish, which had swallowed the
calf and the horns of the cali becoming
eutangled in the fish's gills had drowned
the fish. The fish measured exactly
twenty three feet seven inches in length.
and was five feet eight and one-quarter
inches across the head, and from the
length of it's whiskers supposed TO be
one hundred and seventeen years old
