 The side of the hill being graded down level with the top of the wall, forming an elegant promenade twen, ty feet in width and two hundred feet in length. In front ol the prom enade is a beautiful Spring Reserve one hundred feet Tn width by two hundred in length, which IS orna- msuted with a number of beautiful shade trees.

 Bordering the survey on tue west is q range of pine-clad hills, whose towering heads reach far above the level of the valley, presenting very picturesque scenery. About the first of August, 1881, the citizens or the surrounding vicinity concluded to lay off town, which they did, and now numbers about forty houses, tour of which are mercantile estab' lishments, four boarding houses, two black smith shops, a livery and feed stable, q saw and shingie mill which keeps constantly on hand an abundance of building material. Among the public improvements l notice large school and church house in course of erection. There has been about five hundred dollars expended for public improvements.

EVERY earnest democrat should deem it his hounden duty to attend his township vention, to be held on the 27th inst, as at that time the party will be expected to select del egates to the county convention, which will meet at Dover on the first day of June. In these township con ventions it would be proper to in struct the delegates to the county convention as to the choice of the party for congressman at-large, in order that the delegates to the state convention may go instructed. Of all the candidates now in the field, we know of none whom we could more cheerfully commend to the vo- teis of Pope county than Hon. Thomas c. McRae, of Nevada coun. ly. The worthy gentleman is the peer of any man in the state in point of ability, and his private and public record, as we have learned from the most reliable source, is above re- preach. In McRae, the people will have representative to whom they can point with pride and feel that their interests will be zcalously guarded in the councils of the na- tion. Let Pope county send dele gation to the state convention m structcd to use all honorable means to secure the nomination of r. C.. McRae as congressman-a at-lsrgc, and they will not have cause to regret their choice.

The Senate Bible Restored.

Washington Poot, 2d: The old Senate Bible, which mysteriously disappeared few days ago, was found by Assistant Doorkeeper Bas- sett yesterday morning on the Secre- tary's desk, where the purloiner of this time honored relic had secretly replaced it since the Senate cham Der was last accessible to the gener- al public. The volume was purchas- ed for the use of the Senate by Capt. Bassett's father in in 1927, and had been in service from that year until the date .of its disappearance. It will now be restored to it's principal if not it's only function, in the swear in of new Senators.

A Physicians Opinion.

A physician, writing to the Journal of llea lth, in speaking of Browns Iron Bitters, having carefully analysed it's ingredients, says: "There is no other yet so effective. No other compound should ever be used for general III health and chronic diseases of the pull monary, digestive, and urinary organs. It IS mild, yet sure in Its action, and gradually restores perfect health and strength to every function of the or gans of lite. Its action is so very mild that there is no room left for a relapse, neither will it's discontinuance bring on craving for It's use or renewal of past disorders.

HE citizens of Russellville enjoy ed a pleasant surprise last Thursday in an unannounced visit from Judge J. H. Berry, candidate for governor, and Hon. T. c. McRae, candidate for congressman at large, who were en route to Dardanelle to address the people at night. At the solicita- tion of number of our leading citi zens, the worthy gentlemen consent ed to make a short speech at the Masonic hall in the afternoon. Not withstanding the brief notice, quite fair audience assembled at ? o'clock when Capt. J. R. II. Scott called the meeting to order and introduced Hon. T. c. McRae. The speaker is a gentleman of pleasing address and capuvated the audience from the start by the. practical manner in winch he announced his candidacy. He briefly, yet forcibly outlined hls views on the great national issues of the day, finance and tariff. Of the first, Col. 'McRae said he was in fla vor of the abolition of the national bank system, the unlimited coinage of silver, and the issuance of silver certificates; and this he conceived to be the true financial policy of the democratic party, and the one he would battle for in congress if hon ored with an election thereto. As to the question of tariff, Col. McRae is in favor of approaching as near free trade as is consistent with the needs of the country, and revival of American shipping. His remarks seemed to impress the audience with the opinion that Col, McRae was en dowed with all the qualities necessa- " to make first-class congress- man.
 Next came J. II. Berry, who was introduced by Capt. James W. Rus sell. Judge Berry made brief and patriotic speech, full of practical thoughts. He is in favor of immi- grafton and said that tue best way to turn the tide to Arkansas was to rigldly enforce the criminal laws of the state. He IS staunch friend of the public education of the masses, and believes it to be the duty of the state to furnish the best possible system of common schools. Judge Berry is opposed to the Hoi ford, railroad aid and leyee bonds, and in favor of the amendment, yet bitterly opposed to making the ques tion party test. He scorned the imputatiOn that the amendment wing of the party intended to "Mahonizr," '" and would not, could not consent to a disruption of the grand old par ty' in whose ranks he had marched from youth up. Rather" said the speaker, "would l bury my only leg alongside the one left on the bat tlefeld at Corinth than abandon my party, or play the part of political traitor" He warned his hearers to beware of schisms and proven. the restoration to power of the brood of politicians who ruled to ruin" from 1868 to 1874. The speech of Judge Berry was received with outbursts of applause and many signs of ap. provah and his rigorous style of treating the issues of the day con unced many that he had Tn him the to make a good governor. just such all one as Arkansas needs.
