 If our goods suit you we are prepared to make our prices suit.
 J. L. Shinn.
 MT. Jehn Fowler, brother of Mir. James Fowler, of this city, arrived last Monday from California, where he has been residing for the past tive years. We hope Mir. Fowlcr's visit to his old hsme may be pleasant.
 Goods have all been marked down at Shinn's for cost.
 The finest sign In Russellville is that of the Famous" New Drug Store oi John W. Turner & Co. It was paint cd by Henry K. Erwin and is splendid specimen from his brush Look out for the "goed luck" sign on Jefferson street.

 As fine cotton as WAS ever seen in this place was the bale shipped by Mir. George E. Howell, last week, to Little Rock for exhibition at the State Fair, and if 1t does not take the 5000 prsmi- um we are no judge of the staple. A sample Of the fine bale can be seen at this office.
 Read Shinn's locals. He means | just what he says. "A mammoth pear. twelve inches in circumference, was handed to us last Tuesday by MT. A. M. Bell, in whose orchard it grew. The interesting fea- ture about the pear is the fact that it is of the second growth of 1882 Now let the fruit growers of Western Arkansas come to the front with something that will beat Bells second-growth pear.
 Our clever and handsome young friend, MT. W. F. Ford, after an ab- sence of several months in Nashville, has returned and Is once more citizen of Pope county. The DEMOCRAT joins iA the general welcome to Mir. Ford, and wishes him the most abundant suc- cess in business.

Glass Village Notes.

Oetooer 9tk, lSS2.
 Dear DEMOCRAT: have just perused your neat and we'll edited paper of the 7th ult., and found an article written by "Pink Eye, Jr.," of Mt. Hersey, Newton county, containing some very interesting accounts of the prosperity and upbuilding of that place, together with the religious and educational inter. ests shown by her good citizens, all oi which sincerely believe from the fact that we have mills, gins, churches, quilts, and men of energy in this sec. tion.
 There is a good flnuring and saw mill at Appleton, owned by Burriss S Brant; little southeast we find E. c. Thornton, Esq, with grain mill and saw three miles east we hear John Poteet's with gr>t and saw mill send ing the sound af it's shrill whistle out to the adjaccnt neighborhood for a share of patrnnage; few miles to the north the Nom.n mill that yells ill like manner in un- mistakable appeals to all that he must not be forgotten, as times is lit tie pressing up that way.
 We will next turn our attention to the intermediate and productive lands of this section where we meet Messrs. J. N. Stafford, G. R. Reynolds, and Capt. P. H. Spears, they being the most successful farmers of that vicinity The Capt. appears to excell in point of enterprise, having built and purchased during his short stay in our midst, one cotton gin, one new thresher, and one sorghum mill, the latter now running in full blast, which makes bread more nutritious that otherwise might be dry While passing near his gin 1 saw the Capt. in his usual everyday apparel with about1 1a bushels of rye in sack swung about his neck, moving with an elastic step that led me to believe he meant business. l approached him and said: "You are sowing wheat ?" s'No," he replied "it is rye" "This" said he "is 26 acres of the stuff that have sown and 15 more acres yet to sow" l was agreeably surprised to learn what a farm the Captain owned. He informed me he had over 300 acres in cultivation and anticipated sowing at least 12C acres in small grain. While talking with him, I observed several large two horse blows turning the vesetation un. der, which will certainly compensate him with more than an average yield.
 Thinking I may weary the patience of the editor, I will close my rural comment, and offer my eulogium to Mrs. G. H. T. Dodson, of Mt. Hersey as the happy recipient of the ''boss'' quilts, with their almost countless numbers of pieces, with colors, inns agine, like that of Joseph's coat. Per- init me to defer saying much about our quilts, as the more pieces eur quilts are in the more trouble we have to keep the children warm.
 A grand baby show will be held a. Appleton, Pope Co.,, on the 2d and 4th Saturday in each month at o'clock, a. m., with the privilege reserved to the manager te exhibit oftener if the emer- gency of the accumulated numbers of babies require it. not less than sixty babes to be put upon exhibition at once.
 Hoping to hear from "Pink Eye,Jr." at his earliest convenience, 1 will close.
 Respectfully, "HAwK EYE, SR."

of molasses spread upen paper to catch the unsuspecting fly. Do not be deceived. Benjamin will rally his forces to man on the 7th day ol November and drive them to the polls, like sheep to the slaughter pen and vote them at will. Would it not be disgrace, shame for any man claiming the name of democrat to be the cause, through neglect of duty, of electing Benjamin over Rogers? l cannot believe that it is possible for any democrat to forget the memora- ble legislature of 1S6S-9 in Arkan- sas; and, if l mistake not, this same Benjamin was a member of that body, which created debt in fraudulent bonds of thirteen millions or more of money and placed them in the hands of money-sharks, who to-day hold them, while the hard earnings of the people are taken by taxation for their redemption. Will you again have such legislation as that forced upon the people of Arkansas by again placing the republican party of Ar kansas in power? l pray God that such another reign of fraud and cor ruption may never be visited upon our people.
 Hon. John H. Rogers will address the people of Pope county at Atkins on the 25th, at Dover the 26th, and at Russellyille the 27th of October. Turn out and hear him. It will do you good. A VOTER.

ATKINS.

This flourishing town is located in Pope county, twelve miles east of Rus- l sellville on the Little Rock and Fort Smith rail way, and is the home of as wide-awake and contemplating com munity as can be fosnd in Western Ar kansas.
 | Last Friday, q DEMOCRAT reporter went to Atkins on a tour of observa- ton. The first person he met on his arrival at his destination was Dr. J. II. Potts, as genial a gentleman as one will meet In days travel. Next he met Capt. J. G. Ferguson, formerly Of this city, and then Mir. k. A. Darr, one of the best merchants In the coun- try, and Il whole-souled Arkansian. Found him doing a splendid general merchandising business in handsome brick store. Ills stock of goods is large and complete, and selected with view to supply his large aud growing trade.
 A. c. Vim has a fine hardware store. we'll stocked with fine line of goods, including stoves and tinware.
 A neat establishment is that of Hanks & Co.,, who deal in staple and fancy groceries, and furniture. This house has large trade.
 The "Bee-Iive" is busy place, and how could it be otherwise when such industrious human bees as Messrs. Less & Co.,, are at the head of it. This house carries fine line of dry goods. clothing, boots and shoes, &c.
 G. SwartZ does n fine business in gen eral merchandise, and is among the go- ahead merchants of Atkins.
 HJ. F. Darr Is behind none of his fel- low-merchants ia handling fair share of the business of that portion of the county, and keeps his fine store we'll stocked with general merchandise.
 Although at the extreme western side of town, J. c. Darr's handsome brick store seems to be the center of large trade in general merchandise. His stock is one of the best in town.
 On the south side of town the DEMO- GRAF man made the following observa- tions:
 Epstein & Peck have handsome and varied stock of goods, and enjoy fair share of public patronage, The firm Is we'll established.
 A popular firm is Less & Bejach, who keep as good line of general merchan- disc as the people could desire to pur- chase from.
 Groom & Bro. do good business in general merchandise and have firm hold on the trade of their section. The Crooms are favorably known.
 The next call was made at the drug store kept by our clever friend Mir. Galloway, who Is thoroughly posted in his profession and does first-rate bus mess. His store is neatly kept and well-stocked with the purest drogs and 
 Swain & Co.,, arc also in the drug business and have their share of the trade. Their store is one of the best of the kind in the county.
 Mourning X Bro. have neat estab- Iishment and keep n large stock of gem erai merchandise. The business of this firm is in keeping with the enterprise af the town

P. 'M., at Russellville by virtue of an appointment from the Postoffice De partment.
 Rev. N. B. Brashear, liuing near this place, has garnered four hun dred bushels of corn from eight acres of upland. How is that for upland We would like to hear if Pink Eye can beat it.
 Since "Pink Eye" has become a human epidemic, it has set this cor respondent to wondering how biped afflicted with that disease looks. Will "Blue Eye" please rise and tell us?
 The news of the death of Hon. J. l.. Denton was received here with pro- found regret. That such a brilliant career should come to such an un- timely end shocks and grieves be- yond our power to describe.
 The republicans around here seem to be kind of dazed by the brilliant democratic victory obtained in Ohio. Let the good work go on until every state in the union has wheeled into line with a grand democratic victory.
 We wonder if it would not be ad- visable for our citizens to build a steeple over the bell that at present glares in the faces of all who ap- proach the schoolhouse? We think it would, that our people have "git- up-git" enough in them to build one. We think in our next we will be able to say that our citizens have com menced work on belfry, and hope, ere long, to see one gracefully orna- menting the front of the Temple of Knowledge. CAro

Phelps of Cave creek, she would soon take her place in front ln edu- cational affairs. They arc both schol- arly gentlemen.
 A petition will doubtless be pre- sented to the next general assembly of Arkansas asking for !. new county to be formed in the eastern portion Of Newton.
 Jasper, the county site of Newton, and the only town Tn the county. has only two business houses, and about fifty inhabitants.
 One of our Nimrods was taking a nap in the woods the other day, when large bear came and fed within ten feet of him; but the bear disturbed not his slumber. When he awoke and found how matters stood, he kicked himself all the way home.
 II Newton county had a few more such publicspirited, enterprising men as c. H. T. Dodson of Mount Hersey, and James Salmon & Sons of Cave creek, she would soon come to the front.
 Prof. James Thompson, of Mount Hersey, has been solicited to em- bark in the newspaper business. We believe Prof. Thompson would be fully at home in the editors sanc- tum, but we should dislike to lose his services in the schoolroom, for he is a tirst-class educator.
 T. J. Shinn, our present sheriff, has purchased the old homestead of his father, and has probably settled for life. He has certificate to practice medicine, and will probably commence "plll driving" soon.

 Capt. J. c. Ferguson has charge of the hotel at Atkins and it is unnecessa- " Tor us to state that it is kept in the best stylss everything being neat, clean and in order. While in Atkins, our reporter called at the Reflector office and found the ed- itor, ". W. Gill, at home in his sanc- tum. Glad to know that the brethren are so pleasantly located, and doing a good work in the Journalistic arena.
 Taken altogether, Atkins is a town that would be credit to any county, and her energetic merchants. mechan- ics and professional men deserve sue cess.
 For special courtesies rendered him, our reporter returns thanks to K. A. Darr. Esq, Gus Gill, Esq, Capt. J. c. Ferguson, Col. B. T. Embry, pr. J. II. Potts. and W. W. Gill, Esq, editor of the Reflector.
 Long may Atkins and her citizens | flourish.

WORK AND VOTE!

! EDITOR DEMOCRAT:
 I desire through the columns oi the DEMOCRAT to call the attention of every democrat in this, the third congressional district, to the impor- tance of turning out promptly to the polls on the 7th day of November, and cast their votes for Hon. John II. Rogers, the regular democratic nom inee for our next representative in congress. While this district is ad- mitted to be largely democratic, it behooves every voter, who claims to belong to the time-honored democrat ic party, to be actively at work in be- half of his party's interest, as also that of the best interests of the en- tire people of the district. Hon.J John II. Rogers is capable of defending our rights and protecting our every interest in the congress of the Unit ed States. Allow no business en- gagement- or personal interest at home to prevent you from turning out en masse on the day of election. You may think there is no danger of Rogers defeat; that Rogers election is fixed fact; that you can safely stay at home, and still there are plenty of jealous democrats in the district, to attend the polls to elect Rogers over Benjamin. Do not allow yourselves to be deceived, for do assure you that Benjamin, republican candidate, is quietly making thor ough canvass ofthe district He has circular letters in the hands of his friends, who are handing them out
