OLD GEORGE.
Ills Views on the Free Pass Ques-
 tiOn.


 Good morning, George" said a DEMOCRAT reporter as he met the old man hobbling down Jefferson street, the other day. "How do you feel to- dayY"
 'Only mod'rate boss; Ize goter stitch i'll my side, mis'ry in de breas' an pain in de back. Wid dose 'cept- ions my gineral healt' am fus-rate." /"
 ''l heard q day or two ago, George, that you were a democrat. Is that 8 fact?p
 "Hasyer jes heern dat, boss?"
 "Yes, George. By the way, think the readers of the DEMOCRAT would be glad 10 know your views on the "free pass' question. Will you favor them ?"
 "1'ze down on de free pass bizness, boss"
 "Have you been reading the discuss sion in the columns of the DEMOCRAT, for several weeks past between w. P. w., and e A. P?'
 'Yes, sah; an am happy to denounce de fack dat Mass Billee WooteA am on top in dat 'scussion." "Then vou are not an advocate of the policy of public officials taking free passes
 "Dat Pm not, boss, you heer my horn. doan fink noffiser hab enny right to take CT free pass"
 "But do you think, George, there is any danger of a good man, one who is honest and true, being corrupted by a free passy"
 -'Now, boss, jess tell yer hsw I stan on dat pint. Elf de railro'd gib a nofliser de free pas, hit specks de re- 1ts nj, oh lAf, .ls .s,1, on de side ob de rod an do all he kin fer hit. Fer zample: 'Sposin' de kyars run ober man am kill I'm an' de- en- gineer an 'ductor am 'dicted fer de bigamy ob de case, am hit not reas'na- ble to defer dat de persecutin' 'torney, ef he has CT free pass in his pocket, won't push de intrust ob de state wid de enfusiam dat he otherwise hab done ef de sitywashun wassent ob dat in- frence? An den again, wen de rail- road gibs noffiser de free pass, hit al- lus iz lookin' inter de fucher heaharter an locks ter de good de pusson who 'csives hit will do fer dem. No sah, boss; 1 doan fink hit am right fer 'ticials ter infect from de path ob rite and stain deirselves in de multiplicity ob deir desires as ter 'eept de free pass wid de hope ob readin' deir title cla- ter manshuns in de sky, A nofiiser wat kerrys de free pass hassent got enny show fer wearin' ob dem golden slippers, shuah."
 The last seen of the old man he was pacing down the street singing:
 "Dimicrat, dimicrat is my belief.

 Within the next month we desire every farmer of Pope county to bring or send us the best specimen of any agricultural product of his farm. Our intention is to arrange these specimens for exhibition.
 MT. Green Hearne, one of the clever farmers of Pope county was in to soc us last Tuesday. He lefton our table two apples, perfect monsters, one Of which measured fourteen inches in cir conference. The two weighed twenty five ounces.
 I've were unable to account for the broad smiles on II. x. Shades face aRd the lively manner in which he made his blaming mill run this week until we learned that young engineer had arrived ut his house to remain perma-
 
 weight, and the DEMOCRAT hopes he will grow to honorable manhood, the joy and stay of his parents in the de- cline of life,
 Two of our little friends, Nora and Lucy Rozzell, made us glad last Tues day by placing bouquets of flowers on our table. These silent yet beautiful evidences Of the ciildren's regard make the world brighter and lead us, for the time being, from the worrying cares of everyday life. This would be dark, dreary, cold world, were it not for the dear children.
 Tuesday afternoon while the color ed club was playing game of base ball the bat flew out of the hands of Aus. Bernard and struck Carr Edwards with full force on the left side of the head and face, knocking him senseless. As sistance was quickly at hand and \ physician sent fort and Carr was soon restored to consciousness and taken to his home. The injuries are not of a serious character. Moral. Do not re- main within half mile of a baseball bat when it begins to swing in the hands of batter, for it is dangerous weapon.
 Having secured competency in the practice of law, our esteemed friend, MT. Roger A. Suit, has retired from the profession to make room for other worthy young men just entering on the legal domain, who wish to amass for tune, but could not as long as he (S.) was in the field. But we have not lost Mir. Suit to our city. He can be found behind the counter at the great New York Cash Store ofI.. Reich, corner of Main and Jefferson streets, where he will be pleased to see his nu- merous friends, especially the ladies, who may wish to purchase the best goods for the least money. Friend Suit will be q valuable accession to the clerical force of the establishment with which he is connected, not only on &C., count of his extensive acquaintance but also his experienc ce in mercantile mat .ers gained in years past. The DEMO- cRAT heartily wishes that the most abundant success may attend Mir. Suit n his new venture and that he may require fortune equal to, if not ex- ,eeding that of the Vanderbits.

Determined to Win.

The Fayetteville Democrat of the 2nth glves the following particulars of m elopement in Washington county
 Some few weeks since Mir w. c. Crowell, a young man of about Is summers, and Miss Lille, the l4 year old daughter of Capt Wm. Gil lis, Of Prairie Grove, went across the line into the Cherokee Nation and were married, against the protest of the young lady's father Capt. Gil lis pursued the pair, came upon them an hour or two after marriage and brought his daughter back home, causing the arrest of the young man on charge of abduction. MT. Crow ell subsequently sued out writ of habeas corpus for the possession of his wife, winch was decided in our Circuit Court last Monday, by the Court sustaining the writ, on the grounds that the marriage was a le- gal one under the laws of the Terri tory. The young man took possess ion of his bride, and left for his home at Prairie Grove on Tuesday morning, looking happy and con tented.

the following phenomena, to which the attention of scientists in agaln called. Prof. A. NJ. Blake, the we'll known Cleveland astronomer, writes us IS follows, incloslng letter he has received from correspondent, to which reference was made few days ago:
 NEW HAVEN, Conn, June 30. A. M. Blake, Esq.,:
 l have noticed when the sun is in the zenith, noon, that the gnomon on the suns dial casts shadow shorter than the indications on the dial. Your let- ter is very clear. As far as I can see theisun erept further north from June 2l Summer solstice, old style,) to the 7th, and begins to retraee.
 A. E. CHAPMAN.
 Prof. Blake then says: He verl. fies my calculations; on July ? the sun on the return set in the same place as on the advance, June 2l. Hence, the sun scores right SIX days and left ton return) five days, which equals eleven days that it was not occupying the same relative position to the earth that it did old style. This proves conclusively the change in the inclination of the earth to the plane Of it's orbit"
 The above correspondence was read to Prof. Clippinger, of the Fort Wayne Methodist Episcopal College, himself an astronomer of no mean attachments, who stated that he had noted the same phenomena in con nection with his sun dial, and that if what Prof. Blake stated was his calculation, and It had been thus been verified, Blake had scored one point, and that very strong one, in favor of his theory of the change of the equator, owing to the change in the inclination of the earth to the plane of it's orbit.

The above named gentleman, at the solicitation of many friends. has con- sented to offer himself as democratic candidate for state senator to represent the district composed of Pope and Johnson counties, and formally an- nounces as such in another column. Dr, Thompson has been citizen of Ar kansas for twenty-one years, is thor eughly identified with the people in every sense, and has ever been the ear nest champion of right. We have had several years acquaintance with Dr. Thompson and know him to be good and true man in all the relations of life, sober and moral, an answering democrat, and with considerable legis- latiye experience, having served as a member from St. Francis county in the general assembly of 1874. We con- mend his claims to the voters of the district.
