 R.J. WILSON. The primary election Is over, and | R. J. Wilson is still in the field with a | full and complete stock of general mer- chandise. which he is selling at incom- l parably low prices. Do not fail to call before purchasing elsewhere. MT. Calvin Shinn, brother of J. L. | Shinn, Esq, of this city, died at his residence near London, this county, after brief illness. He was attacked with congestive chill about F o'clock last Sunday night and died at 9 o'clock Monday morning.

 MT. Ali. L. Cloninger writes from Bells chapel neighborhood that he has dug a sweet potato from his patch that measured IA inches in circumference, and several that measured l2 inches. He has broom corn l3 feet inches in height. These fine productions were all grown Of common upland.
 Col. NJ. W. Benjamin, of Little Rock, and Col. T. M. Gibson, of Dar- danelle, were agreeable visitors to the DEMOCRAT editorial room, last Monday. They went to Atkins to speak in be- half Of the republican party. Person. ally we wish the gentlemen much suc- cess, but politically we hope they will meet with dire disaster.
 Capt. John B. Evants has been ap- pointed street commissioner, and will proceed at once to warn the hands and place the streets and alleys in good condition. A better selection could not have been made, as Capt. Evants knows how to get the most labor sut of lot of men in a given time, and his experience is A sure guarantee of first class public thoroughfarcs.
 On the 4th day of September, the voters of this township will elect constable. Among those who have an- nounced as Il candidate for that office is Mir. A. B. Williamson, the present efli- cient deputy constable, who desires to be promoted. The township election will be "free for all" and "go as you please" race. and the voters will have to choose for themselves.
 Senator J. D. Walker has our thanks for full set, five volumes, of the report of the United States Con- missiOHers to the International Exposi- tion at Paris in 1878. The work is handsomely printed, embellished with rare engravings, and is perfect mine of knowledge pertaining to the worlds progress in art, science aRd manufact- ure. making it peculiarly valuable as a book of reference.
 The Russellville beaux, last Sun day were something like Sheriff Oliver, of Pulaski>delinquent; that is, they failed to go on duty as escorts for the young ladies to church. It may be the delinquency of the young gentlemen, last Sunday night, blasted and forever crushed the matrimonial prospects Of some. Who knows? Be gallant, young friends, you will lose nothing by it.
 A large, wsll-filled sack was de- posted in our sanctum, last Friday morning, addressed to the editor. Open- ing the sack, out rolled three immense watermelo as, and card ou which was the following Inscription: "Variety- the Utterly too-too or Lily of Lily dom, with the compliments of Miss Myrtle Menefee." Now, Miss Myrtle is little blue eyed golden-hair sprite of Dardanelle, whom we have enrolled on our list as particular friend. Thanks, little Myrtle, for the generous gift and your thoughtful remembrance; and we assure you that the melons were just "too utterly too-too;" in oth- CT words just as good as your Uncle Jonas ever grew.
 The Communication from "Obser- yer" in reply to "A Tax Man" is en- tirely too personal for publication, and we can only insert it at regular adver- tisiug rates, cash in advance. Both gentlemen are clever men and, by lay ing aside their little neighborhood jeal- ousies, bickerings and prejudices, they caa do much good for their communi- ty. It would not do for everybody to think alike, and disagreements should beget spirit of generous rivalry, not strife. Suppose, friends, ,and we esteem you such. that you mutually agree to disagree and drop the whole matter and, if you find yourself becoming an gry, go out behind the house. ''count twenty" and you will find yourself laughing at the thought of how foolish you have been.
