mat the proposition TO secure the Irish
land league voted to General Beaver was
conceived by John c. Delany, who has

Under the above heading, Opie r. Read, editor of the Arkansaw Tray eler, makes flattering mention of our town, and we take the following from his article:
 "Russellville, Pope county, is one of the most healthfully located and most thriving towns in Arkansaw. ItIs situated in the center of wealthy trading district, and it's commercial importance is attracting the attention of the outside world. Enterprising men of the east who have found it necessary to manniac- ture goods in the sections where the greatest demand is felt, have settled upon Russellville as an advantage ous site for manufactures, and the ighborhood whose echoes short time ago were only awakened by the tink, tank, tank of the COW bell, now is startled at the shrill noontide whistle of the mill. Small frame buildings have given way to large brick blocks, and the old "oaken bucket" in the town well has been supplanted by the patent pump.

 Of the Melrose Cotton Mill, Editor Read writes;
 "The rapid strides which Russell vile is making cannot be better il lustrated than by the new cotton mills, the most extensive in the state. To say that this is an immense insti- tuition does not express it's magnl tude. The building is of hrlck, ad- mirably constructed and thoroughly fire-prool, sheeted as it is, with iron, preventing any probability of a con- fiagration. The machinery is the finest in the south, having been se lected on account of it's modern i'm provement and excellent capacity. l lt AtHhGHHlui IhE ElhNs I " h"iSN power, is the most complete that IS now manufactured and is almost noiseless Tn it's movement.

 The sad edict has gone forth that there will be no Christmas tree at Caglesvile. This is sad news to the average small boy, whose chlet desire Is to shoot all the firecrackers he can.
 We have been puzzled not little over what to expect for a Christmas present, but have at last come to the conclusion that it will be slippers as usual A sad contemplation, in deed!
 We hear, that there will be . Christmas tree at Gravel Hill on Saturday night, the 23d inst, and one at Davis Chapel on Gum Log, Monday night, the 25th inst.

RussELLvILLE, ARK, Dec. 19, 1882. EDITOR DEMOCRAT:
 As there seems to be considerable interest and inquiry in regard to the money collected by the Ladies Soci- cities of the different churches, for the purpose of putting fence around the Cemetery, l will state for the Tn formation Of all, and more especially for those who have done so much talking about the matter, that have Mir. J. L. Shinn's receipt for one hundred and twenty three dollars deposited with him by me as treas urer of the joint committee. 1 will further state, that the money is held subject to the wishes of majority Of the committee, provided they wish to use it for the purposes for which it was collected.
 1 think, Mir. Editor, that If the town council could be induced to make an appropriation of one hun, dred dollars to use in connection with the foregoing named sum of money that the Cemetery could be made to look respectable. If they will make said appropriation, will do what I can to get the committee to join with them and go to work at once. If the committee wishes to meet, l will be glad to have them do so at my house on the eve of the 1st of January, 1883. Rspectfully,

ARKANsAs cotton lands are attract inc the attention of foreign capital ists. and last week MT. Benjamin Newgass, of Liverpool, representing a wealthy English syndicate pur- chased fifty thousand acres of land in Arkansas and Chicot counties contiguous to Bayou Meto in the former and along Bayou Bartholo- new in the latter county. The Ga zette says:
 The transactions involve upwards of $lO0.000, which includes SlO,O0O paid the state for forfeited lands As we are positively informed not an acre of this land was purchased Tor speculation. There is no grand tim Der speculation about it. The syn dicate proposes to cultivate after the manner of the enormous and success ful wheat farms of Minnesota and Dakota. They have ample means to run the enterprise to complete sue cess. Their plans embrace the lay. ing out and building up of several towns. and it is more than likely within year or two the maps oi Arkansas will show at least one busy little manufacturing town, the site of which at this time has not been selected.

OBITUARY.

Departed this life at Richland, Searcy county, Ark, June 2S, 1882, Mrs. Cinderella Taylor, aged twenty two years, wife of Joseph T. Taylor.
 In the death of Mrs. Taylor, our community has been robbed of one of its brightest ornaments, loving husband bereft of dear companion, and two little children deprived of a fond mother. Mrs. Taylor was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and her daily walk and con versation was that of meek, lowly and devoted follower of the Master In all the relations of life--as wife, mother, neighbor-Mrs. Taylor dis charged fully every duty, and left behind her a record made up of good deeds. The deceased left two children, aged respectively four and two years, who, with the husband, are indeed sadly bereaved but they know that their loved one is 'safe in the arms of Jesus" and is waiting and watching" for them on the margin of the river that flows by the throne of God" Our depart ed friend and nelghbor is missed by all, but we are consoled with the thought that, if we lead godly, righteous and sober life, we will meet her in the heavenly home, where the weary are at rest, and where there are no more partings.
 A FRIEND.
