SOME TIMELY SUGGESTIONS,
Which are Respectfully COm- mended to the Attention
 of the City Authorities.
MR. EDITOR

MR. EDITOR:
 If you will permit few remarks in the common interest of very large number of the people of Rus, sellville, 1 would like to direct tlse attention of our street commission. CTS and the city council to some street mprovements, which are of the very greatest importance; but which, it seems, have been entirely overlooked by the city authorities l make these suggestions principally m the interests of our school popu. lation; but not entirely so, however, for the streets, which 1 shall name, are, aside from their use by the school population, travelled as much by the general public as any other streets in the corporate limits.
 David street, from River street to Oak street, needs working very much, and, Tn fact, unless there Is some good work done on it just west of the wagon bridge, near J. F. Nun. days corner, it wlll soon be impas. sable. This is the only street by which the town can be approached, without great inconvenience, by all the teams and vehicles from Darda- nelle. It should have immediate at. tention. To accommodate the two hundred and fifty school children, who daily attend school, there should be a plank sidewalk extended from River street, commencing at the corner Of J. L. Shinn's dwelling house lots clear to the school build Ing. The foot bridge across the little branch, where David street in tersects Jefferson Gin J. l.. Shinn's additlon) should be raised and run out on the east end twenty feet fur ther. Unless these repairs are made the school children will absolutely have to wade through mud shoe mouth deep all winter. Jefferson street just in front of J. E. Batten. fields lots, ip j. l.. Shinn's addition. has become washed out so badly that teams are now driving up on the sidew walk, which that gentleman has had graded up in front of his lots. The city authorities will have the gratitude of the public if they will look after these needed improve ments. A couple of hundred dollars expended here will be of more utili. ty to the public than the same amount expended at any other point In town. VI

THANKSGIVING DAY.
A Proclamation by the President of the United States of
 druarIna

In conformity with custom, the annual observance of which is justly held in honor by this people, I, Ches- ter A. Arthur, President of the Unit ed States, do hereby set apart Thurs day, the 30th day of November next, as day of public thanksgiving.
 The blessings demanding our grat- itude are numerous and varied. For the peace and amity which subsist between this Republic and all the nations of the world; for the freedom from internal discord and violence; for the increasing friendship be- tween the different sections of the land; for liberty, justice and consti- tutional government; for the devo- tion of the people to our free institu- tons and their cheerful obedience to mild laws; for the constantly increas- ing strength of the Republic while extending its privileges to fellow men who come to us; for the inn proved means of internal communi- cation, and the increased facilities of intercourse with other nations :; for the general prevailing health of the year; for the prosperity of all our industries, the liberal return for the mechanics toll affording 8 mar ket for the abundant harvests of the husbandman, for the preservation of the national faith and credit; for wise and generous provisions to eff. feet the intellectual and moral edu- cation of our youth; for the influence upon the conscience of a restraining and transforming religion, and for the joys of homo; for these, and for many other blessings, we should give thanks.
 Wherefore, 1 do recommend that the day above designated be observ- ed throughout the country as day of national thanksgiving and prayer, and that the people ceasing from thelr daily labors and meeting in accordance with their several forms of worship, draw near to the throne of Almighty God, offering to Him praise and gratitude for the mani fold goodness which He has vouch- safed to us and praying that His blessings and mercies may continue.
 And l do further recommend that the day thus appointed be made a special occasion for deeds of kind ness and charity to the suffering and the needy, so that all who dwell within the land may rejoice and be glad in this season of national thanks giving.
 In witness whereof I have here unto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be af- fixed.
 Done at the city of Washington this twenty fifth day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand, eight hundred and eighty-two, and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and seventh.

 A deaf and dumb man, while walking on the railroad track near Conway, one day last week, narrowly escaped being run over by the pas senger train. He was saved by the fireman going out on the COW catcher, catching him by the collar of his coat, and lifting him from the track.
 Mir. John A. Love, peaceble clt- lzen of the town of Searcy, was fatal ly stabbed by John M. Huff on Mon day of last week. The Searcy Bea- con gives the following particulars "Mr. Huff had been under the influ- ence of liquor several days, and was Monday evening, when for offensive language Mir. Love put him out of his store, which was done two or three times. The last time while Love was holding Huff down, Huff cut him with a pocket knife in four places: on the throat, arm, leg, and . slight wound on the lip. Two of the wounds narrowly escaped being fla tai.
 Charleston Vindicator, 18th ut. A sad and fatal accident befell Squire l.. M. Vance ore day this week. The particulars of his horrible death are to the effect that while on his way to town with span of young mules, and when he had approached a bridge near Mir. Douglass place, his mules became refractory and refused to be led across. Seeing the situa- tion, MT, Vance got down from of his horse, at which the mules took fright and broke away with the un- fortunate man entangled in the rope. He was dragged over rocks and stumps the distance of hun dred yards or more, and his body terribly mutilated. His agoniziug cries were heard, but the spirited animals in their mad career had fin ished their lamentable work before assistance came to his rescue.

IN ANOTHER column will be found an elaborate defense of the law "to enforce payment of overdue taxes" from the pen of an esteemed contrib utor. The arguments of Taxpayer are strong, clearly and forcibly ex- pressed, and apparently unanswera- ble. The intent of the law, the pre- vention of tax lodging" is good feature, and deserves the attention of the members of the general as- sembly at the next session, when they come to the consideration of the revenue bill. If ever state was cursed with "tax dodgers" Arkan- sas has been, and we hope the next general assembly will provide such a remedy as that there will be no repetition of the evil in the future.

Welcome, thrice welcome, and may the Reflector never cease in good works. nor weary in the grand work of advancing the interests of Pope county and Western Arkansas.

KIND words always serve to strengthen one for the arduous du- ties of life, and there is no class of the worlds plodders more encourag- ed thereby than the country newspa- per editor and publisher.

HE elections are now over for two years, and the politics of the people should be the development of the best interests of the country. Let the greatest encouragement be given to agricultural progress; let stock be improved; the fruit culture be devel- oped; education fostered; the stand ard of religion and morals raised. If all this Is done, politics will be pure two years hence.

Poisonous Literature.

Opie Reads head is generally lev. el, but never more so than when he penned the following, recently pub lished in the Arkansaw Traveller;
 Several days ago, newsboy on the Little Rock & Fort Smith road ap. preached passenger with an armful of books,an after exhibiting several handed him the life of Jesse James, and remarked: "This one will catch you, Cap'n. This is the best book published. I've sold more of lem than any other book" The passen- ger politely declined, but the boy be- came enthusiastic in praise of the outlaws life, and declared that the passenger would regret it if he did not purchase the work. "Young man," asked the passenger, "What is your name" "John Jackson" re- piled the boy.
 'I see that you have read this book and I'll venture the assertion that you will come tosome bad end" Several nights afterwards while the passenger was in Little Rock, he hap pened to pass the door of the city pris- on, when he heard some one call out, "Halloa, Cap'n." Looking up he saw the newsboy, with his face press ed against the bars.
 "What are yon doing in there7'
 "Got to stay here 8 day or two"
 "Why were you put in?"
 "On account of little financial transaction. I handled a counterfeit twenty dollar bill"
 He had been arrested for passing counterfeit money, and will doubt less be subject to punishment, the memory of which will remain with hlm many days. During the session of the next legislature, an act should be passed prohibiting the sale of such books. The police weeklies should also receive the attention of our law makers. Reformers who have succeeded in securing temper ance enactments should go farther and strike blow in favor of intel lectual morality. Pernicious publi- cations are daily poisoning the minds of young people. The injury Is great as the effects of intemperance, for it directly leads to crime. A father should no more allow his son to read a Police Gazette than he would en- courage him in associating with Q mad dog.
 On the same subject, the Wash ingten Post gives the following per tinent paragraph:
 The shelves of almost any book store contain volumes far more like ly toexert corrupting inhuencethan anything that Walt Whitman has ev- CT published. Quitting thousands of trashy novels, the plots of which al most invariably involve seduction, clopement or some repulsive phase of illicit love, we may take some of the great standard English authors and find in their books matter more objectionable to any discreet head of family than the worst portions of 'Ieayes of Grass" As examples of this we will name Shakespeare's We nus and Adonis" and Bryon's 'Don Juan." But It IS not unlikely that both of these could be found in the libraries of the fastidious gentlemen who are ransacking the mails for Whitman's book. There is need of increased efforts to check the bad work that is being done by the pois- onous literature with which the coun- try is almost inundated. The country would be the better for the summary destruction of some thousands of

We understand that Mir. Chris tian Miller near Judsonia made this year produce enough for home use and realized from his fruits and Der rles the sum of $l, 400. He came from Illinois ten years ago and locat- cd there on homestead, 80 acres, paying $l00 for the Improvements. His farm is now worth about 5000
 The foregoing is from the Searcy Beacon and we reproduce it to show tho capability of the soil of Arkan. sas for the culture of fruits, and the profitable return to be had from such crops. Pope county is second to none in soil and adaptability for the successful culture of fruit of all Kinds, and presents splendid field Tor pomologists.
