THE DEAREST SPOT ON EARTH.

We talked OF wide domains and spreading
lends,
And towering castles builde1 by the sea;
When, rising up, l cried, with lifted hands,
"Behold, 1 am the richest Of the three"
40 no. thou speak'st in jest, my friend"
laughed one,
'These lands are mine as far as thou canst
see,
And further yet beyond the setting sum
Even SO, 1 am the Richest of the three"
ssMy wealth is hoardei up.r the other spake,
'In ships that hourly skim the farthest
sea,
And bounteous fortune follows in my wake
''This may be, yet Pm richest of the three"
''Thou hast no lands, good friend, to equal
mine,
No heaps of glittsring ore belong to thee;
No loft halls OF marvellous design
And art thou, then. the richsst of the
threer'
"No lands are mine, no stately halls I have,
No heaps NJ gold, nor castle by the sea,
Nor merchant ships that bird-like skim the
wave:
And yct l am the richest of the three"
"Where lies, "quoth ono, "this treasure OF such
worth.
That thou art rich in spite of povertyr'
"Mina is the dearest spot of all the earth;
Wherefore l am the richest Of the three"
'Indeed this tabled place wa fain would SEQ.
Whereof thou dost with fond endearments

I again ask space, that Jerusalem
may be heard from. Crop prospects
are not as good as some think.
Wheat is low ordina with vis1-
bic signs of black rust. The oat
crop is greatly damaged with black
smut, or, in other words, blasted.
Cotton is dying ont. s..ased by late
heavy rains. Some few are blowing
it up, and planting in corn or beans.
The bad condition Of the plant shows
plainly that there will be great
falling off IN the staple in this neigh
borhood this year. Corn is good as
heart could wish.

Few things contribute so much
to the growth, development
and enlightenment of community,
as well conducted journal, up with
the times and ready to do battle for
the country's good" We had oo-
casion to quote the above last week,
but it is so patent and pat to our
purpose, that we quote it again. 1t
contains lesson that we want to
enforce on the community in which
we live and labor, and especially up
on the business. portion oft; for, if
one portion, more than another
can be interested in building mp and.
developing our country, and in gos-
tering an agent so powerful to this
end as a good newspaper, surely that
portion must be our business men.
Their prosperity depends upon the
prosperity of the country in which
they do business, and q communi-
ties prosperity, like ours, depends
upon development Of resources in
every point of view In order to de-
velop these, immigration and capital
must be reached and brought in.
New men, and in some eases, new
measures, must be obtained and util-
lied. The public morals must be
fostered, cultivated and toned up.
The people must be taught the inn
portance Of industry and economy.
Now, we would like to know, in what
one of these particulars, the DEMo-
GRAFT has been wanting. Her voice
has been steadily and strongly rails
ed in favor of immigration, public
schools, and good morals ever since
she was launched in 1875. 1t has
stood out pre-eminently as beacon

Little Rock Gazette, ID.

Little Rock Gazette, ID.
In 1871, during the republican
rule, M. L. Stephenson was judge OF
what was then the First circuit.
During that year John Williams,
white man, was convicted OF murder
in the second degree, and BY Judge
Stephenson sentenced to 'slife i'm
prisonment" in the Arkansas peni-
Tertiary. On the 18th Of May of
that year, Williams was placed in
the prison, and has since then, until
yesterday, been prisoner. He was
liberated yesterday by Chancellor
Carroll, having been brought before
him on writ of habcus corpus.
The Judge held he had been wrong
fully restrained OF his liberty" The
reason he was wrongfully restrained
lis that there is no law in Arkansas
under which a man can be sen
fenced for life. For murder in the
first degree, he must be banged; for
murder in the second degree, the
punishment is imprisonment for not
less than five nor more than twenty
one years.
John Williams, when discharged,
was visib!y affected, his whole body
shaking as If he had the ague, and
his eyes were bedimmed with tears.
He was represented in the court by
George L. Basham, the well-known
attorney, who filed the petition. viii
liams is n years Of age, and before
coming to Arkansas resided in Phil
adelpnia, for which city he leaves
to-day. The crime OF which he was
convicted is the murder OF partner,
with whom he was engaged in bust
ness at Watson.
After being liberated the prison
authorities gave him 81 in money
and furnished him with suit Of
clothes. Mr.. Paschal, the kind
hearted warden, being deeply moved
by the old mans loneliness, also
gave him a liberal sum from his pri-
vate means.
The following is copy of Judge
CAROLS order:
In the Pulaski Chancery Court-In
the matter of John Williams, ex
parte, petition for habeas corpus.
Having examined the causes for
the confinement Of the petitioner in
the state penitentiary, and being
clearly Of the opinion that the judg-
ment of the circuit court of Desha
county, sentencing the said John
Williams to confinement in the state
penitentiary for life, is void, it is
therefore ordered that the said petit
toner, John Williams, be discharged
from the said penitentiary, being
wrongfully restrained Of liberty.

The special reporter Of the DEMO
Graf, few days ago had the pleas
ure of examining the Aurora Road
Cart, for the sale of which Mr.. G. b.
Gerber is sole agent at this place.
The unique vehicle is destined to
become very popular with those who
desire something both useful and
stylish. With the Aurora Road Cart
one can drive where it would be ut
terly impossible to take four-wheel-
ed vehicle, and this fact alone will
commend it to those whose business
requires frequent trips to different
portions of the country. Mr.. Gerber
has also the agency for the Aurora
Village Cart, which differs somewhat
in construction from the ''road cart, y
and both styles are made with or
without the ph@ton body. If any
reader Of the DEMOCRAT wants use
ful vehicle Tor pleasure or cuisines
purposes, let HIM call on Mr.. Gerber
and examine the Aurora Road Cart.

on crops, seasons, etc.
Corn and cotton are ten days be-
hind owing to too much rain and cool
weather--hed light frosts on the
% and Odd, but did not do anv harm.
Cotton is not overdone rs bad as
last year. Many planted the second
time before getting good stands.
Acreage fifteen per cent. shorS OF
1882. Since June came in, It
has just got to growing good. Early
planting is now looking well, and
from ten to twelve inches high.
Corn looks fine. Farmers gener-
ally laying bye. Acreage larger
than last year. The prospect is now
fine for large crop. 1t looks fine.
Early planting from five feet up to
tasseling on good land ] hope our
farmers have learned some good les
sons from 1881. That year nearly
ali of the hogs died from starvation
no corn to feed them; but now near
w every farmer has good start
again of hogs and pigs.
We have fine prospect for mast,
and should our corn crop and acorn
both be full one, our farmers will
have plenty of bacon and pork, and
to sell next year.
This is not considered Q great
wheat country, but when well put in
some years make fine crops. Last
tall we had too much cotton and wet
weather to SOW wheat crop, SO very
few sowe6, and very few will reap.
Crop and acreage very small.
Oats. fruit and vegetables are fine
and plenty. All fall sowing splen-
did. They are ripe and cut. Feb

State Teachers Association.

KussELLvILE, ARK. june 5, 1883.
To the Teachers, and Friends of Educa-
ton in Arkansas:
FELLOW TEACHERS At the last
meeting Of theArkansas State Teach
ers' Association, the attendance was
very small; 50 that the few present
felt chill of Encouragement for our
State. Visitors from other states
looked on the vacant seats and said:
Surely the light has not yet reach
ed this land. A printed list Of the
few present went abroad to the world
as the educational force Of Arkan-
sas.
Intelligent men aud women abroad
read in establishment the list Of for
ty or fifty names, representing the
number Of live, working teachers in
state OF eight hundred thousand
people, and SAID: at is not strange
that third of that people cannot
read nor write; will not rake that
land the home Of my children.
Again, it is claimed that the last
legislature, seeing the Indifference Of
the teachers as class, refused to
pass laws for the immediate upbuild-
ing of our schools, or material i'm
p.oyement of our educational system,
saying they, the teachers, are salts
fed with the present order Of things,
and they are the opponents. Then,
is not time the teachers were waking
up and addressing themselves to the
work before them? AID to begin
this work with the earrestness it
demands, let every teacher and
friend of this great cause be present
on the 9th inst, and enroll himself
as q member Of the Arkansas State
Teachers Association. This is a
day of co-operative-worK; and if we
would have better schools, better
patronage, and better salaries, we
must bring to bear the influence OF
organized effort, for the schools vii,
be just what the teachers make them.
We have full programme for the
next session of the association, at
Little Rock, which is designed for
the beginning Of the great forward
movement, and the presence of ev-
cry teacher is earnestly desired.
Hence, let every teacher and friend
come. and come to say or do some
thing for this languishing cause.
Teachers and friends OF education
who expect to attend should send in
their names to Prof. j. F. Howell,
Secretary, Arkadelphia, so that he
can send certificates to them that
VIII enable them 10 get reduced rates
on the 1ton Mountain road. Other
roads sell reduced tickets on certifi-
cate of the Secretary at Little Rock.
Hotels and boarding houses in Little
Rock will entertain visitors at re-
duced rates-$l.00 to $500 per day.
Distribute these circulars among
teachers and urge them to answer it.

my God, NV God, I've Killed
MY Father"

Last weeks Fayetteville Sentinel
contained details of most terrible
accident on tile part OF young man
by the name of Frank McGill, who
by foolishly handling his pistol, sent
ball crashing through the brain OF
his father who resided about five
miles from town. Leaning over the
shoulder of his son, the father re
marked: "Frank, didn't know you
carried a pistol" As the son lifted
his head TO reply with an explana
ton, the pistol accidentally fired
with the above result, and the awful
sentence standing at the head of this
paragraph. When will the accursed
pistol be banished from Arkansas
homes.

to those seeking new homes and a
good climate. 1t has faithfully urg
ed the excellencies and attractions
Of Pope county since its birth.
She received no money for all this
service; she only asked the reward
Of tire consciousness of a good mis-
sion, and the patronage Of the people
who were to share with her the BEN
efits of her labors. The point we
make is in the question, has she re-
ceived the encouragement she has
merited? 1t was the DEMOCRAT that
contained the letter Of inquiry from
abroad seeking a home, and that
sent in response a copy OF the paper
FREE. She has stood the heat and
burden of the day in talking and
writing, and in every other way
serving the interests Of the county
and the town especially. She has
spent more thought, more paper,
more envelops, and more postage,
more time and money in her endeav-
ors to bring our attractions abroad
than almost, if not altogether, all OF
our citizens combined, and yet,
strange to say, some of the business
men of our town do not so much as
favor her columns with a card or an
insignificant advertisement. Some
even say that it does no good. To
such a one we would only reply that
advertising never will sell your
goods. That you must do yourself
Advertising simply brings the Gus
toner to your door, and then, if he
finds you square with your adver-
tisement, you have an easy task to
sell him. We have often seen fancy
advertising done to get customers in
the house, giving fancy figures and
prices; but when the customer comes
there is a failure to respond with a
fair article. Either lie gets bad
article, or he pays more than the adj
vertlsed rate for good one. This
of course, breeds dissatisfaction and
staggers the customers confidence
but the fault is yoar own.
In the history Of all successful
business men is found notification
of the fact that advertising pays.
