MISCELLANY.
THE SCARLET TRUNK.

A slim, dark-eyed girl, with brown hair
knotted by cardinal ribbon, in dress OF
pale violet--the whole peculiar, pictur-
esque effect in the old wood Leah Lyndon
was looking idly at the busy workers of an
ant-hill at her feet, and waiting.
leafy old tree arehed over her; the SUM-
shine fell warmly into the glade; the air
was full of the balsamic scent of the pines.
Leah waited quietly, full of the pleasure
which surrounded her.

oARwIN,s THEORY BACKWARDS.

Ever since Eve forced the apple
on her unsuspectlng spouse,
Man has had his bread TO grapple
BY the moisture of his brows;
But the ape was much to clever
To become the serpents prey,
So he tolls not, and he never
Turns hair the liyeiong day.
.Anthropoids are never sordid,
Never have the thirst fos drink:
Home at night It's not recorded
That the husband-monkeys stink,
When they're tripped by fortune tickle.
Fastened to cruel chain,
They unselflsh seek the nickle
For the organ7giinder's gain.
How they scorn the rascal penny
With their restless rolling eyesi
An, believe me, I've known many
Men who were not half so wise

Free from Cares and doctors pills,

A NrMBrR of democrats hay

A NUMBER of democrats have men toned to us, during the past week, the propriety of changing the time for holding the primary election and fixing it at an earlier date than Au- gust l9. Such change we believe would be on the line of sound policy and expetliency, and would have the hearty approval of a majority of the party throughout the county. un- less the primary election is held at an earlier date than that already fixed, there is danger of ''independ- ents" working the field and sowing the seeds of disafiection. Do the people want independents y elected to office in Pope county? We are confident we echo their sentiments and wishes, when we answer, No, The democratic executive committee has full power to act in the premi- ses, this being delegated to that body by the people in their sovereign capacity Do the people want the primary election held at an earlier date than the 18th day of August We believe they do. Let them make their wishes known in regard to the matter The columns of the DEM ocRAr are open for discussion oI the question. The danger to b' avoided is this: The democrats dc not want their field worked by sin dependents" who will SOW nothing but the seeds of discord from whicl will spring up q crop of tares an( thorns

OUR fellow townsman, Hon. J. G. Wallace, carried the instruction of Franklin county for prosecuting at torney, and this assures him the nomination. Mr. Wallace will serve the people faithfully and it will be his aim to rigidly enforce all laws. Let every true democrat rally to his support and roll up heavy majority at the general election. We urge all good people throughout the dis trict to lend q helping hand, for we believe Mir. Wallace will strive earn estly to do his whole duty in the i'm portant office to which he will be elected. He is competent and hon est, and will make a hard working defender of the State interest.

HE following resolution was pre- scnted by Col. W. M. Fishback at the recent democratic convention and unanimously adopted: "Notwith- standing Senator Garland is opposed to Us in his views on the amendment, yet believing him to be too honora- ble to again antagonize his constituents, now that he has had an expression of their wishes at the bal lot box, and believing him to be of immense service to Arkansas in his present position, we respectfully re- commend that our representatives in both houses of the next general as sembly use all honorable means to secure his return to the senate"

OUR esteemed correspondent

OUR esteemed correspondent, "G. A. P.," sounds the keynote on the free pass question. Much can be and has been said against the so- called evil, but the only means, as "G. A. P.," says, of avoiding any baneful effects is to elect men to of flee, who are above the suspicion of being bribed," even by so small q thing as a free pass" To claim that there is danger in the accept ance of free pass" by an official is reflection upon the sound judg ment and integrity of him as well as his constituents. Let us solve the problem by electing such men as will not be contaminated by contact with an insignificant little free pass."

lN SPITE of the efforts of onyious persons to stain the character of Hon. J L. Denton, the efficient state superintendent of public instruction, the democracy of the State has al- most unanimously endorsed him in the county conventions, and he goes into the state convention with about enough votes to nominate him on the first ballot. It is evident the people 2uagc a man by his work and not by the little intrigues that arc set on foot to break him down, and the hearty endorsement of Mr, Den. toms official course is conclusive proof that his constituents believe he has done his whole duty fearless y and honestly

AREA OF COUNTY.

Pope county embraces large area of the choicest lands of the state, consisting of bottom and upland, di- verslfed by spurs of the Boston Mountain. Between these ranges or spurs of the mountain lie large fer tile valleys, we'll watered and a5und- antly supplied with the finest of tim Der. But of the soil and timber more hereafter. The southern boun- diary of the county is the Arkansas river; beginning at the mouth of Big Piney, down the river short distance below the mouth of the Petitean River; thence north thirty five or forty miles to the top of .the Boston Mountain, the divide between the Arkansas and White river waters; west on said divide to the Newton county line twenty-five or thirty miles, thence south to the place of beginning thirty or thirty five miles.

SOIL AND TIMBER.

There are the very finest bodies of river lands in the southern part joined for a number of miles north, with fine productive uplands, finely timbered. The eastern portion Dor dcrs on and includes q portion of the noted stream Point Remove, with timber of almost every kind. The northern portion is interspered with smaller streams forming the main streams of Point Remove, Illinois Bayou and Big Piney. The western portion includes the most of the fine lands on Piney A large district Of the western portion from the Aakan- sas river to Boston Mountain affords perhaps the largest aud most com pact body of fine pine timber in the State, in short, nearly every kind of timber abounds of the best quail ty known in the western or southern states, These lands are owned res
 pectively by the railroad, govern ment, and private individuals, and embrace some of the most fertile in the state. The government lands are subject to purchase, or home stead entry; and, where purchased, the price is low w-being Sl.23 per acre outside the railroad limit and $2.5O within the limit. fthis class of land, there is probably not less than 75,000 acres vet untaken, thus aGording the immigrant the adyan- tage of cheap homes. Of the railroad land, there yet remains unsold in Pope county about 80,000 acres, em- bracing some of the best in the coun- ty. These lands lie within SIX miles of each side of the railroad, and are advantageously located for the production of all kinds of crops, and stock raising, Much land is held by private individuals and, nc doubt, can be bought in quantities to suit purchasers. The last two class
 es of lands named range in price from $3 to $l5 per acre, according tC

Social Pests.

We have no liberation for whining and
we have no pity for winners. They are
among the most tormenting of social
pests. Affected sensibility is disgusting,
morbid sensibility is vexatious but
worst of all is the drawing dolefulness
with which certain self-consecrated
martyrs persecute any acquaintance who
has patience and good nature enough to
listen to them. 1t is the nearer who is
truly the great sufferer. These laxative
afflicted ones have no mercy, no compass
sion; without consideration or remorse,
they continue TO the extremity of endur-
ance their slow, wasting torture, and
care nothing for their victims pain; are
not sensible to his mute anguish; give no
heed to his imploring looks, and no hear
ing 20 his stifled groans We once
heard clergyman preach upon the duty
of people bearing each others burdens.
We told him after service that it would
be as well to preach another sermon on
the duty of people bearing their own
burdens.
In this matter of bearing burdens
their is seldom any reciprocity. The
bearing is usually all on one side, and the
supply of burdens all on the other. One
person furnishes the load, and another
person has to carry it, Such persons are
entirely opposite in character and class.
The martyr side or ethics, as the most
repugnant to instinct, is naturally the
side which moralists the most strenu-
ously urge; but needful in general as
this is, the urgency may be excessive
and unreasonable. The constant exhor-
tation is, "Care nothing for self care
everything for Others" Think and work
for the comfort and happiness of your
brethren; but as to your own lot, be con-
tent, even joyful, with suffering and sac
