 "Will you accept this bouquet from your friends, MATTE c. MAY,
 CoRINNA l.. PARKER"
 Now, if we could only write like Col. Bob II. Crockett, of Dewitt, we could tender our thanks In proper form to the esteemed friends, who so henored us with such a grand selection from Flora's domain. Accept the bouquet !? Yes, kind friends, we do accept, and can assure you that the remembrance you sent came like q ray of sunshine into our cheerless sanctum and made us feel that the world is brighter than 1t is thought to be. With the rich per fume of the bouquet of rare flowers pervaGing every nook aid corner of the editorial room, we went to our work with renewed zeal, and a determina- :ion to do nothing to forfeit the good will of the many, many friends, who so often bestow such appreciated souve- nirs of their thoughtful kindness upon us. Many thanks, ladies, may no rude storms of sorrow or diversity ever darken your life, and may your years be crowned with the richest of Heav- ems blessings.

RussELLvILLE, ARK, May l3, 's2. Messrs. J. K. Battenfield, J. l.. Shinn, A. w. Mathews, and others:
 Gentlemen: Your call, soliciting me to become candidate for Representa- tive in the next Legislature, is rcceiv- ed. This call emanating as 1t does from some of the most substantial, intellec- tual and moral citizens of Pope county, awakens within me emotions of gratl- .ude.
 Residing in county where intelli- gence and integrity abound, feel doubly honored, that you should evince such high appreciation of my ability.
 am proud of Pope county and her citizens. and it would afford me great pleasure to serve my countrymen m any honorable capacity, when circnm- stances will admit of such service. But it is with deep regret that l have to an nounce that i. will be impracticable and impossible for me te accept the call you have made.
 A desire to become more conversant with the laws of my own State, and with the laws of this union, before of- fering to serve my people in an official capacity; and the additional fact that , am yet a student, and not thoroughly established in my profession, preclude the idea of my becoming candidate. :. Thanking you sincerely for the hisi compliment paid, l am
 Your obedient servant,

CIRCULAR.

We, having been connected with many others, in bringing out Mr. N. w. Kuhn as a candidate for Repre- sentative of Pope County, take this method of placing before the Demo cratic party his claims, or rather, our claims. We have known him four years, personally, and his CHARACTER for many years. He is q man of un- doubted christian character, living more for the good of his country than himself; is a man that does with his might what his hands find to do ;has been continuously farmer, but, at in tervals has taught school, aided ma terially in putting in operation good mill and cotton gin. In fact, he is leading spirit in all public en. terprises of our section, both relig- ious and secular He is a Democrat of pure type, ignoring sectional lines, rings, cliques, and all other unfair means of securing private ends at public cost. He is fully qualified to do credit to our County. He is anx- ious to debate the ease before the people, and desires each man to de- eide for himself, after hearing the argument. Juryman, people, demo crats, should not decide case until it is argued fully on both sides. All we claim is an impartial decision af- ter hearing is had. Go to the pre- cincts when the canvass is made and be convinced.
