Cknowing that one cog out of Inc wheel of success would be their ruin in saw mill. The grand result of their investment is now seen from tire extreme source of the creek to it's mouth. New dwelling houses have taken the place of old ones, and log huts, that have stood for almost the half of a century, are being torn down, or converted into stables. - Large barns are being built all the way down the creek which were badly needed for the storing away of the large crops of corn and hay that the people were so bountifully bless ed with this year. Thus we see by the adventure of two enterprising men that our country is fast grow ing, and ere long the Boston noun tain country will cease to be reck oned as den of lawless characters, void of humane principles, and even of understanding, as some braggarts have boastfully and untruthfully as serted, who happened to be living in little faster country than this has been, Tn the past.
 Sometime back, Mr. B. F. Dodson sold his interest in the saw mill to MT. John Salmon, who for industry and mechanism cannot be surpassed by any.

TIE managerial and editorial force of the DEMOCRAT tips it's hat and makes most profound bow to the big hearted jolly editor and the handsome business manager of the Arkansaw Traveller for the unex- pected, yet highly appreciated com pliment paid us in the following par agraph:

CAVE CREEK, ARK, Dec. l4, 1882. EDITOR DEMOCRAT:
 Six years ago, when your cores pendent, lone wanderer from home, first beheld the limpid waters of CavelCreek andithe delightful noun tain scenery on either side, he was astonished to find so little improve ment among people who seemed to be as intelligent, naturally, as any people that he had ever met with Education, true enough, was at a low cbb from the fact that they only had three months public school each year, and half the time they were taught by teachers who knew no distinction between mathemati- cal problem and newspaper adyer- tisement, or a proper noun and an adjective. All the teachers were not of this class, but q great many were; and it is not surprising that the people were being deprived of the knowledge they were anxious to bubflH. HtlC Ntlt tuGH iDttt VI four good dwelling houses on the Creek. Of course most of tEe houses were made. comfortable, but they were rudely built of rough logs and presented no exterior attractions. = The people, for the most part, were clever, good natured and soclahle, and as the most of them could read, with naturally quick understand ing they knew something of the GUS toms of the higher classes of society. The mountains were covered with the finest growth of yellow pine timber that could be found any where else in the state, some oI which was three and four feet in di ameter, and it only remains to be used for a good purpose by energet- ic. industrious and push forward kind of men who are not afraid to risk dime to catch dollar

ONE OF the most important meas ures ever before congress is now pending in the senate. It is the civ il service reform bill introduced by Ganator Pendleton, of Ohio, who urged it's adoption ih a speech full of argument. Suth law is greatly needed, and the provisions of the Pendleton bill seem to cover the case. Arkansas heartily seconds the motion to adopt the bill.

Cave Creek Murmurings,
CAVE CREEK, ARK, Dec. ', lsS EDITOR DEMOCRAT:

CAVE CREEK, ARK, Dec. ', 1882. EDITOR DEMOCRAT:
 If there has been time during this cventful year, which is now nearng it's close. that warm fire was appreciated it certainly is the present time. The thermometer in dicated II degrees above zero, on last night and it seems from all indi- cations that tonight may be colder.
 We are sorry to chronicle che ab- sence of one of Cave Creeks most estlmable citizens, J. H. Young, who is now clnrking in the store of Den his Cole, at "Sky City," better known as Sulphur Spring.
 It seems as though hog skinning is the daily occupation of one or two of the upper creek citizens. as fresh signs are found in the mountains of that section very often.
 Salmon & Sons, @s this creek, who have bran new cotton gln, are be- ing crowded with cotton, so much so that their steam whistle is often heard at or 9 o'clock at night.
 Capt H c. Dickey and Dr. H. s. Salmon, who have been on trip to Russellville and Little Rock, return ed last Sunday and reported pleas ant sojourn in the city of rocks and also in the growing town of Russell vile.
 Dr. A. Ott, gives an account of one of the most noted cases of dropsv on record, in the person of Jackson Hudson, who died with pneumonia at his home near the head waters of Richland, a short time ago. The Doctor says he tapped him thirteen times and drew off fifty three gallons and three quarts of water. Mr. Hud- son though q poor man was well known and highly beloved by the people in the country where he lived, and it is rather strange that one man not above 65 years of age would buils.A@~=aA ssse in one hundred ...a.. Hudson stated that ,a,5 aepn.s.eIi, pnaei done since his marriage.
 Now that Christmas is close at hand ane the merry farmers boy re- joices that cotton picking and corn gathering is about over, and the twittering of the restless sno ybIrd is heard along the orchard fence, let us all wish each other a happy and prosperous future; that the old year may die the easiest possible death and that the new year may come smiling into existence with super abundance of health and riches in store for every one. While sitting around the old time Yule fires we boys and girls used to tell our sto- ries, and sing our songs, with happy throbbing hearts, just as thousands of boys and girls of America will do eighteet days from today. There are boys now in America destined to be our future statesmen and presi- dents, who will lexpect the good and generous hearted Santa Claus to come slipping down the chimneys on next Christmas eve with armfull of choice candies, nuts and other Christmas presents, and we can but wish with them that such may be the case. The boys are now begin- ming to talk of hops, and inquire if the fiddler has his violin Tn tune. as they wish to put Tn motion their lit tie ''foots."
 The other correspondents seem to have backed into winter quarters quite early. SNYDER c. SNYPEs.
