right on. We also noticed that Mr.
j. L. Shinn has had an improvement,
made Oh the stone Sidewalk on the
postoffice corner, and likewise has
Mr.. Drew Perry and his son made
like Improvements In front of Jno
w. Turner 81 Co.'S, drug establish
ment and Roys' Hard ware store.
We were extremely sorry to hear
of the death of Mrs. Lizzie Embry,
which occurred at Atkins on last
Thursday. She was the daughter
Of Mr.. d. NJ. Mourning of that place,
and wife of our friend Aylette EN-.
bry. To the latter especially do we
extend cordial sympathy in this
bis greatest bereavement, and com
mend him to the only source whence
cometh comfort in Affections of this
sort.
Our friend, Capt. P. j. Rollow
fell in on us last Thursday. The
Capt, is one of Pope county's solid
men, aud is engaged for the present
in the cattle business with Col. Ben
Young. The Capt, reports the
largest operations in game that has
reached this Office during the season.
Nineteen shots and nineteen deer.
This is the pole that knocks the per-
simon.
Our friend, Dr.. j. W. Pruitt,
leaves tomorrow for Topeka, Kan
sas, 10 be absent about fifteen days.
He goes to attend the session Of the
National Eclectic Medical associa
tion which meets at that place. The
doctor is secretary of the section on
Dermatologv, and is booked for two
important essays before the associa
tion on tue subjects of Malaria Ha
emturia, and amputations. During
his absence, Or. Cook, his partner,
will attend all calls.
The Dardanellc Post comes to
us with one page almost entirely tax
en- up with Yell county's delinquent
tax list, containing something like
five or six hundred tracts. A friend
at our elbow suggests that the real
estate of our sister county is in a
predicament, and that man hardly
knows what he is doing when he is
dealing in that article in that coun-
ty, and it really looks ss if his sug
gestion was true.
Mr.. r. j. Brown, a pilgrim rep
resentative or the Gazette, in his
favorite employ Of writing up some
town, man or anything else with a
shekel at the other end of course,
tumbled bushel of the sunshine of
his radiant countenance into the
DEMOCRAT Office last Wednesday.
He appeared sedate and happy, but
looked half askant as he enquired, if
we were the same editor he met on
former visit to our town. Suppose
he remembered that limiting.
From the best information we
can get from the surrounding conn-
try, cotton is in rather bad row
for stumps. The cold weather last
week gave it a set back, and set it to
dying, and the wet weather put the
grass to growing, so that taken alto
gether on going to press, we cannot
make favorable report on the crop
OF that staple. Corn tho, is growing
finely, and if the season holds, this
country will harvest the largest crop
almost ever grown.
Mr.. Judd had rather sudden
call from an odd stranger one day
last week. Our attention was called
to the matter Ivy oops, hoops and
hah-hahs Of certain gentlemen in the
neighborhood, who, we suppose en-
joyed the visit more than Mr.. Judd.
The visitor was an Old, poor horse,
who seemed to have conceived the
idea of calling on the residents Of
that side OF sown. He was firsi
driven out of MIR. Luke.'s shop. He
then went il5o Mr.. Judd's restau
rant, from there, he attempted s
visit to Mr.. j. t. Fowler's store, but
the Inevitable Jno., was there ano
prevented him.
Being fond of all classes ant
kinds of industry we went into Tho
apartment where Mrs. X. j. Wilson
keeps her silk worms, and there W.
saw very crude worm busily spin
ming the material of which the fin
est fabric worn by the affiuent il
made. Mrs. Wilson has industrl
ously reared the silk worms 70
state Of maturity, and they are nov
spinning the cocoons from which tn
silk is obtained. Mrs. Wilson has
eminently succeeded, considering
that she had no experience, an'
knew nothing Of silk cai,sufe TO be
gin with, and has established tn
fact that silk can be made in Rus
sellvllle. What Is II that cannot b
done hereS We will speak OF thi
again when the silk worms hay flu
Iished their work for the season,
