WORDS OF PRAISE.

The Helena World, although not published in this district, takes ap interest in public affairs throughout the state, and, in q late issue, has the following hearty commendation of the worthy gentleman, who is a candidate for the circuit judgeshlp of the fifth district;
 Hon. George S. Cunningham, Of Dardanelle, is candidate for the judgeship of the 9th judicial circuit and ought to be elected by unani nous vote, as he is not only a man oi honesty, ability and industry, but has made a record in these of which any man twice his age might well be proud. George is but a little over thirty. and if it be no sin to be young man in the contest, and if the people chose prudently we. shall have the pleasure of announcing that he has been successful. He was in the general assembly of '79 and among the few of that body of intelligence and candor. George Cunningham when he arose in his place in the House, unlike the majority of his fellow members, never had the least idea of furthering hls political or in dividuaI interests but shot straight at the mark with all his power, and cool and faithful regard for tie right told him he was correct.

To the Front.

The following, which we clip from Colman's Rural World, will be read with general interest:
 Arkansas IS coming to the front in the most vigorous manner, not only as the grower of choice green frulLs, but also occasionally as the shipper of the finest dried fruit offered in the &. Louis market. Tue most attrac- tive samples of peeled dried peaches offered to the St. Louis dealers for some time were scld last week for thirty cents per pound. They were dred by the evaporatlng process, were light and clean. and elicited the most favorable comments on change where the sample was placed. The grower and shipper was J, L. How ard. Mountain Home, Ark. Dried peaches are lower at present than they have been at any tune this sea son-a fact that renders the forego. ing price very high.

TO THE PEOPLE.

ATKINS, ARK, April 10th, 1882. l Editor Democrat:
 In the Atkins News of April Sth the editor has done great injustice to the citizens. His editorials are calculated to greatly injure the town,
 for he states that all the churches, nearly solid, nearly all the temper ance voters in concert, nearly all the open, frank and avowed advo- cate of good morals supported the defeated ticket, leaving his readers to infer that the lawless element with only few good citizens had a majority, and defeated the noble band of 50 who so ncbly battled for the, so called, law and order loving ticket, of which he, (the editor) was head. The candidates on his ticket were all gentlemen of high stand ing in the country, and their defeat was alone caused by GilPs name being placed at it's head.
 As for the victorious we will give brief sketch of each. Wm. Key. holds, mayor elect, is an old citizen of this county and town, is and has been for wears a strict member of the church, temperance man of forty years standing, now at the head of the Good Templars Lodge, and true to his pledge in the order. He is also E. H. Priest of Atkins Chapter. As to the board of aldermen, k. A. Darr is one ofour leading merchants and is largely interested in real and personal property of the town, never paid q fine for violation of law; Dr. J. il. Potts was born and raised in this county, his father, one of the earliest settlers in the county. The Doctor has been q citizen of Atkins for years, does a large practice throughout the country and is orc of our most respected and intellect ual citizens; Dr. B. F. Wilson has been resident of Atkins for years, has grown in almost universal favor with the entire community, and in fact, is a gentleman of the highest moral standing; Hon. F. P. Hervey has been citizen of the town few years, and was one of the most jealous workers to free the community of whiskey under the ''three mile" law. He represented Conway county in the legislature few years ago; A. J. Slsney is a farmer in it's true sense, has been a citizen of the coun. ty for sixteen years, is man of the highest moral standing, and an ex- tensive real estate owner A. J. Groom, recorder, is q man of good moral character, and does large mercantile business; and, in fact, the whole corps of officers are real es- tate owners, have families, and I donbt if there is a more efficient set of town officers in the state; and just why the editor of the News should take his defeat so hard, I do not know. Hope he will get over the defeat, and, instead of trying to damage the town, it's citizens, and their interest, that he will labor to repair the damage already done and try to make the town what her citi. Zens are trying to do.
 In speaking of parties and men Tn this connection we have endeayored to speak of them as they are, noth ing extenuate, nor aught set down in malice. WM. A. GALLOWAY,

 Rev. A. NJ. B. Graham, president of the Christian Temperance and Prohibition Union of Arkansas, in a recent circular letter to the county vice presidents of that organization, used the following manly and con servative language, which should be carefully considered by all demo- crats:
 l have repeatedly asserted that, as an organization, we should keep en. tirely free from all political entan- elements and complications. But we should, nevertheless, improve every opportunity to further our cause regardless of party lines. Ali temperance men should be active in their respective parties, and persist. eEtly use their influence to secure in such parties the nomination of sober and capable men for office.

May the Great Business Manager of the Universe ever retain you as one of His aids, Col, C., is our sincere wish.

Again let us remind the candidate that it is wisdom to stay at home. The people are very busy with their crops. They are working manfully to recover from the effects of the drought and overflow. Let us not harass them with great many ap- pointments for public speaking. Ii tue candidate wishes to commune with the soyereigns let him use the press as a medium. Let him write his piece rather than speak it. The sovereign will be glad to read it in his state paper or his county paper. He will read 1t on Sundays or at night when it will noC interfere with his work. The Democrat is religiously opposed to so much stumping, It's not in the interest of better govern ment. Much less is it in the interest of better corn and cotton. This one year let us not worry the people when they are so anxious to work. l.. k. Democrat.

Law and Order.
Atkias News, sth.

The large, intelligent and cn- thusia>tic citizens meeting held on "Wednesday night last, marks an i'm portant era in the future of Atkins. It was the first time. probably, that some kinds of breaches of the law. disorder, open blasphemy, obscenity, and confusion of morals generally, ever received bold, frank, but con sideratc condemnation by a mass meeting of tn" towns best and most influential citizens. The good name and character of the town has been vindicated, and the effect and in fuence of the proceedings of Wed nesday night will long be felt, for their impress has been thoroughly stamped upon the community, and will soon be felt and recognized on every hand.

Immigration.

From Hagerstown, Maryland, and the valley of Virginia, some l,200 people have gone West this spring, of whom more than one third were young farmers and artisans in searcl of work. Many of these emigrants went to Illinois, where they were at once employed as farm hands, the farmers boarding the trans to secure them as soon as they arrived at stated points, Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska seem to be the States sc lectcd by these movers westward. The Pennsylvania road has sent out numbers from the Cumberland va. ley.-W Washington Post.
 The foregoing indicates the fact that the young men of the old states desire homes in the young and grow Ing West, and nowhere will they find better or cheaper than in Wes,- ern Arkansas, the land of salubrious climate, fertile soil, schools and churches, and well-organized society. Let an effort be made to induce q portion of this tde of immigration to flow into the borders of Arkansas.

A Shame and a Disgrace.

A Slldtne anu a DISSfdCe.
 The following from the St. Louis Post Dispatch, of the 4th, so mani festly expresses the feelings of our readers that we produce it with the hearty endorsement of the DEM oCRAT:
 However much we may feel ;ncin- ed to rejoice over the removal of the desperado Jesse James from the warm precincts of eternal day, every sentiment of manhood and humanity must revolt against the manner of his taking of. He was an outlaw, an enemy of society, and the blood of innocent men fairly reeked on his hands, and yet there is no evidence that he ever took human life through methods that were either cowardlv or treacherous. There must be feel Ing ol sympathy in the inner heart of every thorough man for this hunted outlaw shot down like dog, unarm- ed, in the midst Of his own family, by two boys who were bound to him by ties of relationship and were re- garded by him as his friends and confederates. They sat at. his table, ate his bread, played with his chil- dren, exchanged condolences with him and then brutally murdered him ill an unguarded moment that they might secure the price set upon his carcass. The history of the world scarce furnishes parallel in men, dacity and treachery. The great Commonwealth of Missouri, with all it's vast power, dignity and force, was behind these youthful detectives, and, having run the outlaw to cover, it would have been an easy matter for them to capture him. But that would have involved a division of the dazzling reward They chose to murder him as a means of enlarging their profits. It isrhinted that the State authorities knew of and con- nived at this scheme of assassination, but for the credit of Missouri it is to be hoped that this is not true. It<is sad and sickening that there is in the blood of humanity such baseness as that exhibited at St.. Joseph yester- day. It IS, perhaps, well that men who voluntarily follow the pursuit of crime should be taught that there IS no confidence to be placed in those whom they choose to regard as con- federates when there are alluring re- wards flying in the ar; but there is not one manly man in Missouri to- day who does not have more respect for the dead bandit than for the heartless, murderous, cowardly crea- lures who shot him down as they would dog and ran bowling te the feet Of Justice with demands for blood money. It will be a shame and disgrace If these murderers are received with public appreciation and turned loose upon society with cer- tilicate of exoneration from the ma jestlc law which asserts everywhere that even criminals shall not be dealt with as they deal with mankind. There are certain inherent principles of justice and honesty which should never be departed from by society, whether in dealing with prince or pauper, saint or outlaw.
