 The gloomiest season of the year is with us, when the forest is begin. hing to exchange it's verdant para phernalIa for one of yellowish golden hue, and the sweet harmonic notes of the mawk- bird is no longer heard in the evening hours of yon skirt of various species of trees fringlng the messy banks of Buffalo.

 The star bespangled chme of heav- en betokens cold weather, and ere long we will see icicles hanging where the fading leahet now futters in the chilly air. Soon Boreas will be tanning with icy breath our brows, and then we may know it is winter.

The Coming Tidal Wave.

Evidence accumulates that this is to be another tidal year. In the small CT States, relatively affected but slightly by the conduct of an Admin istration, the Republican party is as strong at the polls as ever. But in the three greatest States of the Union, which gave Garfield all their eighy- six electoral votes two years ago, the Republican party is in an unspeaka- bly bad condition. Republican pa pers in various parts of the country give signs Of expectation that Illin- ois, Indiana, Connecticut and Cobra do, all Garfield States, will be sub merged by the tidal wave. It is wise to be prepared for all this. It is well to brace ourselves against the wave, and settle in advance precisely how much it will mean, and how it's effects can best be turned 10 advan- tage.

Reliability.

The very best possible test of the re- liability of any article is it's popularity. It is an old and trite saying that Ca burnt child dreads the fire," and mo- where is this maxim mere appropriate than in the case of persons suffering from some malady which many prepa- rations have failed to relieve. No one continues to take medicine which does him no good, and certainly no one would testify to the beneficial qualities of remedy which had not benefited him. lt Is an easy matter to claim nu- merous virtues for an article, but un- less those claims are backed up by au- thentic testimony, they ''go," as the French say. "without saying.n

The first five months made by subscription, and second five made by contract with the school directors.

The house has been built by Hon. N. w. Kuhn, and will be finished up by him right away. MT. Kuhn aad his wife will take charge of our per manent school next spring. The school will be on the high school order, and have music department. The school building will be the sole property of Mir Kuhn, who is truly a public spirited man fuller of enter prise than money.

To the Public.

1t is human nature to aspire to the most eleyating positions in the of our business auali. fications; but no hope of advance ment could tempt an honest soul to undermine, or stoop to an unworthy deed, and no pleading of ambition within anyone should move him to gratify any selfish desire. Before retiring from the public service, the kind people of Russellville and vi- cinity will please allow me to tender my most heartfelt thanks for the congenial feeling manifested in my behalf. Although not in public bus mess so long as many of my con temporaries, l have tried to act in accordance with the requirements of the profession, and have longed to overcome all antagonistic elements winch confronted me in the incipi- ency of my public vocation. And now before surrendering the position to my successor, Mir. Brashear, I trust he may make the good, deserv- ing people most efficient postmas- ter. My best wishes, without mal- ice or i'll feeling, ever be with him, and may success crown every effort is my sincere desire.

Circuit court for Pope county meets on the first Monday in November next, and among the most important business will be the suit of V. F. Caffry vs. certain lands. This suit is brought under the provisions of the "bill to enforce payment of over due taxes It has been ascertain ed that many tracts of land have been advertised as delinquent, the owners having paid taxes thereon and hold receipts for such payment. There is diversity of opinion among the legal fraternity as to how par ties, whose lands have been advertis- ed as delinquent when the taxes have been paid, are to obtain relief It Is held by some that the said tracts having been listed as delinquent through error of the clerk, that oifi- cial has the power to correct such error, or that the court can cause such tracts to be stricken from the list without any proceeding on the part of the owner of the alleged delinquent tract. Others hold that the case IS similar to any other suit, where the defendant is required to make an swer to the complaint filed by plain tiff in order to protect his the de fendant's) rights. The DEMOCRAT holds to this last mentioned opinion, but is frank to confess that the oth- CT side presents many arguments Tn support of their view of the compli- cated question. AS precautionary measure, it would be prudent foi those persons whose lands have beer reported delinquent and who hold receipts for the payments ofthe taxe; on same, to be present at court anc lay their cases before Judge Gun ningham, who will advise them fully in the premises and grant all neces sary relief. The law works grea hardship on many, and we hope tn
 next legislature will hasten to repea the measure. As the law now stands we think parties aggrieved shoul'

RUsSELLVIIIE POPE COUNTY ARKANSAS OCTOBER @ 1882

He expressed his deep qualification at his re election, not for it's -honors alone, nor for It's emoluments Git had cost him much of his private resourc- es, delegate said), but because he had determined to devote his time and energies to make the National Cotton Planters association q power in the land, and if those interested in the progress and prosperity of the south would give him one half the support they ought to do, he would make it the grandest agricultural or ganization in the world in a few years.
 Gen. Walsh, of Hot Springs, sug- gested it might be well to have | committee of three from each state represented appointed to keep up communication with the central or ganization, for the purpose of ad vancing all local interests and ex- tending the organization. It was explained that the rules sufficiently provided for his suggestions.
 The delegates from the several states then presented the following for vice presidents of the states named, and the same were elected: !:
 Arkansas-Col. $. R. Cockrill.
 AlaDama-Ex- Gov. R. NJ. Patton.
 Mississippi-Lieut. Gov. c. D.

 Louisiana-H. R. Lucas.

FEARS have been expressed that the friends of Col. Cravens throughout the third district were not active in their support of the democratic nominee for congressman, Hon. J. H. Rogers, of Sebastian county, and that they were indifferent and would not go to the polls and vote on the 7th day of November next. This is a mistake. There is not a democrat in the dis trict but will be found at his post of duty on the day of election, working faithfully for the maintenance of true democratic principles and for the able nominee of the party; and especially will this be the case as regards the members of the party in Pope county, who have never been known to show the "white feather" in any campaign, much less one where interests of such vast import are at stake as that now at hand. The Little Rock Ga zette touches the right chord in the following paragraph:
 Judge Rogers, as was shown in the primaries, is the choice for congress of a large majority in the district. We have not heard of single demo crat who does not support him hearti- ly, and who will not vote for him next month. Neither Col. Cravens nor any of his personal friends could be induced to tender a negative sup port. One and all, they are for Judge Rogers because he is worthy the dis tinction of an election and the clearly expressed choice of the democracy of the district, as proved by the prima- ries and the action of the congress sional convention which gave him it's full fight.

IN THE event you have paid taxes on your lands and have the collect or's receipt for the same, and find said land advertised under the pro visions of the law "to enforce pay. ment of overdue taxes" it will be the part of wisdom to take your tax receipt, go to Dover and there pre- sent your case to the circuit judge A failure to do this will necessarily result in decree against your land and it's sale ordered, thereby entail ing upon you great expense and nc little annoyance. The law, is indeed a grievous burden and hardship, but that is no reason why the people should not assert their rights.
The Russellville Democrat., 1882-10-26

No democrat should stay away from the polls on the 7th day of No vember hugging the vain delusion that enough of the party will vote to elect the democratic nominee in this district. Each voter should feel that the success of the party depended SOLELY on his ballot, and go to the ballot-box with that idea uppermost in his mind.
