A residence two miles west of
Chestnut Bluff on the Friendship road,
owned by w. w. Spence, Esq. and
occupied by j. T. Bolt, was entirely
destroyed by fire last Friday night.
Mr.. Bolt only saved two beds and one
or two other articles of furniture, and
the clothing his family wore the day
before. The fire originated from a
stove fue in the kitchen OF dining
room.-Alamo Sentinel.
We clip the following from the

evening, Green West, an old drum.

Mr., Ennis Carney, at Sycamore,
and made some threatening demon
stration toward him, when Mr.. Carr
ney pushed him off with his open
hand. when West staggered and fell,
falling with his neck across a jug he
was carrying, and broke his neck.
No blame is attached to Carney, as it
is regarded as purely accidental by
those who witnessed the affair.
The time is rapidly approaching,
if not already at hand, when it must
be determined which is the stronger,
the people or the corporations. The
country is safe, SO long as the people
are in power, but not SO when it shall
be turned over to the corporations.
They are fast getting to the point
where they make and unmake Sena-

say the voters of Pope county would vote, unhesitatingly: Prohibition and Amendment" We do not wish to send man to legislate for us who would force us to pay those fraudu- lent, unjust debts we hear so much talked about. Why force strug- giing state to pay a debt it does not justly owes Is there candidate in the field who says: Prohibition and amendment? Have we, whose privi- lege and duty it is to choose officers, fully made up our minds to vote for such as he and none other? If we are looking to our future good and the welfare of our children with any degree of solicitude we must put down whiskey and taxation to pay unjust debts. We can only do this at the ballot box by selecting the right kInd of men to make our laws. The balance of power is on our side If we will only use it and let us re member that if unworthy men get office the fault is with ourselves. Let us consider the whole matter and en- deayor to act wisely on election day.

"MorrilUon Headlight" vs. Hon.
 Tom F. BrasIear.

Editor Democrat:
 I sec in recent issue of that llt- tie, one-horse, self-important paper published in our neIghboring sister county of Conway, called the ''Mor- rilton Headlight" an article reflect Ing on the character, and conduct of the gentleman whose name heads this article. It appears that MT. Brashear has offended the dear little sheet, because he called upon Mr. kimbell, one of his opponents in the race for the office of State Land Com missioner to know if he did not bolt . democratic ward nomination, in the city of Hot Springs, and support a straight out republican? This Mir. Brashcar called upon Mr. kimbell to do. on the eve of the primaries held in Pulaski county recently.
 And, because Mr. Brashear did this, thls self-constituted little die tator, must rise up in all of it's strength and might, and pronounce MT. Brashear, fraud, a failure, an Illinois white washed demagogue.
 MT. Editor, those gentlemen who are so fortunate as to be acquainted with the distinguished gentleman whose name is the subject of this article, will not sit idle and allow such attacks to pass by unnoticed. Those who know Tom Brashear best, know him as an accomplished chris tian gentleman, one whose character Is so far above the little, seryile newspapers Of the day. whose assi- nine qualities are so often displayed for evil purposes, (and of refusal to accommodate them to a ten dollar announcement feel cannot afford to allow bis Bame used in such terms, without an expression of their dis gust and contempt. From person al acquaintanceshIp of some eight years with Mir Brashear. I know him to be strictly sober, energeuc and efficient land man. 1 man whose character, moral and social, is hardly to be improved upon, and one who Is worthy of the hearty support of the people of Arkansas.
 accord to his opponents whatev- CT Of merit they possess, and they are entitled to the full benefit of . free race before the people; and l shall not attempt to say one word of aught against any of them, but shall leave the people to say, whom they will elect. Tom BIashear is uuques- tionably the choice of old Pope, and she intends to cast her vote for him, because he has worked his way up from the bottom round of the ladder, and is justly entitled to the office, on account of his faithful stewardship.
 Very Respectfully,
 ELECTOR.

Editor Democrat:

EultOF Democrat:
 Soon we will be called upon to se- feet men to make, amend, defend and uphold the laws by winch we must
 be governed; men to transact the
 business connected with public af- fairs and to handle the public mon ey. This question arises: Have we
 as free and an intelligent people
 been properly considering tue mat
 ter to the end that we may make
 wise selections: This matter is too important to be set aside with a
 mere cursory thought or hasty ac- tion. If not from our better judg- ment, from bitter experience we should have learned to put candor, prudence, wisdom into lively action
 on all such occasions as election day.
 We should have learned to suffer ourselves actuated by no personal or local consideration but to consider the man-his capabilities and pccu
 liar qualifications for the office to which he aspircs. We should have learned to choose our officers from among that class of men whose con duct uumlstakably shows them to be entirely above the low and trivial. While It is important that all our officers be every way worthy it seems to me Co be absolutely necessary. in order to good results. that our Law Makers" should be enIinentlv so.

American Pearls.

Pearls are found in this country, and tke value of the find amounts to about s50,000 annually. The best pearls come from the Gulf of Califor- nia, though about S3,000 worth come from fresh water muscles, all over the Union, especially from the. Mi. ami rIver, Ohio. A reporter of the New York Evening Post, having in teryiewed MT. Andrews, the head of the jewel department of New York house, learned from him the follow l ing facts:
 The California pearls are as fine as any Oriental pearls, and are val ued as highly. The fresh water pearls are almost all small, but bril- liant and somewhat rosy Tn tint. About half the California pearls are black, and command better price than the white pearls.
 Some years ago about so per cent um of California pearls were black, the proportion having diminished rapidly during the last ten years.
 The biggest pearl ever found in this country was the celebrated one found about twenty years ago in a New Jeysey pond and sold to the then Empress Eugenle.
 Of late many small and almost worthless pearls have been received from Texas farmers, who have an exaggerated notion of their value. The firm buy them more as a mat ter of encouragement to the pearl hunters than anything else. Some day these hunters may discover val uable gems. and their custom may be worth something.
 Mir. Andrews showed the reporter q handful of these small, pink, irreg- ular shaped pearls, the majority of them not larger than pin-h head.
 The larger they are the more de fective they are in shape and color. Some of the larger ones might be mistaken for bits of bone polished up.
 The only use to which they can be put Is for replacing lost pearls Tn old iewelry of no great value, which is sent for repair. Sometimes they can be cut into thin pieces, and small piece of fair pearl can be obtained for enameling.
 The finest string Of pearls ever brought to this country is now in possession of the firm. It consists of sixty pearls, the largest being about the sIze of wren's egg. Eve " pearl is perfectly round and pure in color, and not one is valued at less than $500
 While examining this string, the reporter happened to remark that he could not tell the difference between that string of enormous value and one of imitation pearls.
 No more can any one," said MT. Andrews, until they are handled. The best experts cannot tell good imitation pearl from the real without touching It. The weight is deficient in imitation pearls, and the surface is different to an experienced hand. They can only be distinguished by touch and weight. But every pearl in ballroom might be false with out the best expert in the trade sus. pectiDg il"
