Editor Democrat:
In your issue OF the 14th inst,
you mention me in kinder terms than
the DEMOCRAT has been doing for
some time, which l take as high
compliment from pure source, es-
pecially as never sought after it,
As you have already alluded to my
public record, will here recapitu-
late some of the doings OF the legis-
lature, that | played a prominent
part IN; LIST, to resubmit the Fish
back amendment; End, to investi-
gate the state officers and expose
their delinquent condition, and order
suit against them on their official
bonds TO recover to the state the
amounts, and to pass laws making
state officers, criminally responsible
for missing state funds; 3rd, TO fer
ret and expose the condition of the
public printing, and re-let the print
ing contract; 4th, to maintain and
extend our 3 mile local option law;
9TH, to pass revenue bill, taxing
everybody alike, from the richest to
the poorest; 9th, to dissolve the
State Financial Board and many
other things. Now it is quite sure
that the state frauds were right aud
the legislature wrong, OF else the
frauds were wrong aud the legisla
ture right. There is no intermedi-
ate position. The Legislature ex.
posed and expelled CRIME, and those
that howled were directly or indi-
rect.y, by act or sympathy, connect
ed in the common cause Of defeat TO
the Will of the people. Anything
contrary to Jelfersonian democracy,
am always ready to combat. Let
us have more Jefiersonian dcmocra.
cy and less rule-or-ruin democracy.
Let the people rule and not rings,
monopolies and corporations. Now
in conclusion allow me TO say that
did for the people jost as promised,
and therefore my conscience is clear.
Hoping and believing the DEMOCRAT |
will be pushed by it's new editor and
business manager, | wish 1t
4 long and useful life.
Yours truly,
N. w. kUNE.

BRAIN POWER.

1t is automatic that brain power
governs the world. The only way
this statement can be made to CON
cur in our former statements, is to
say, that where there Is most brain
the world is governed the most adj
vantageously, and in those parts
where little brain predominates, the
affairs of the world are lily governed.
The world, in every part where the
benign rays of civilization have fall
en-, is to-day in stentorian tones, de.
handing a cultivated brain power.

ernmental and social. There was &

Oneonta, New ORR, Jan, 9th, 1881.
Early last summer Messrs -, j. Kendall Il

with the publishers OF the Press for half

Of Kendalls SPAWN Cur9, for one year. At
che same time we secured from the arm a
quantity of books entitled Or. keudall's Treat

are now giving 10 advance paying subscribers

ii effected such a complete cure that an expert
horseman who examined the animal recently
could find no trace Of the SPAWN or the place

PRoCLAMATION--FR FREEDOM FOR WOMEN.
What is the right of the ballot to
woman compared with her privilege
of enjoying health and happiness in
the charmed circle OF her social and
domestic relations? Among the
many discoveries tending to promote
the happiness and advancement of
the human race, nothing is so init
mately connected with the health
and happiness and advancement of
women-the centre and source OF
our highest earthly enioyments las
the discovery of q remedy which
meets her peculiar wants, and hts
her for tue enjoyment OF life, and for
ministering to the happiness Of those
with whom she is associated in the
tender relations OF sister, wife and
mother. This remedy is found in
DR.. j. Bradfield's Female Regulator,
.sWoman's Best Friend" BY it
woman is ealaBcipated from the ills
peculiar to her sex. Aefore its mag
ic power all irregularities OF the
womb vanish. 1t cures whites, !"
suppression OF the ''menses," and re.
moves uterine distinctions. 1t cures
constipation and strengthens the sys-
TEN, braces the nerves and purifies
the blood, and thus doing it does
more for her, and through her, for
the whole human family, than any
discovery of modern times. ltnever
fails, as thousands Of women will tes-
tify. Prepared by DR.. j. Rradtield,

CONWAY COUNTY is having it lively
just about now. She holds an cleo
ton in a few days to locate her court
house once more. There are four
places in the county bidding for it.
Morrillton, Plummervillle, Spring
field, the old county seat, and Solgo-
hatchie. They all have made bonds
for the building of the court house
free of expense to the county, except
Solgohatchie. Morrilton's bond is
$4,000.

A SPECIAL meeting of the city
fathers was called by the Mayor last
Tuesday night for the special pur-
pose of levying the Incorporation
tax for the year 1883. After thor
ough discussion of this important
matter, takingSt arp one side and
down the other, turning it over this
way and that, the average opinion
fell on 81 mills on the dollar, and
accordingly it was so fixed If the
amount of taxable property for this
year should reach 100000 and we
presume it will or over, this will give
the town revenue of $3.50. This
lacks considerable of being a mint
of money, scarcely larger than the
expenses of an ordinary modern gen
tleman, and our people should think
of this about the time they go to
load up one of their field pieces to
bear down on this body Of officials.

DIED.

At the residence of her husband,
Capt. j. E. Richards, on Monday.
the 25th inst, of Asphyxia brought
on by child birth, Mrs. Florence O.
Richards in the oath year of her age.
she died at 11:30 o'clock and just
as the train bearing her mother
whistled for Russellville. Every eff
fort was put forth by her physicians
to sustain her until the arrival of
her mother; but to no avail. She
passed away as peacefully as one
going to sleep when her mother was
almost in sight. Her parents came
from East Tennessee, where she was
born, about 9years ago to Arkansas,
and settled IN Fort Smith, where the
family has resided ever since, her
father at this rime being the county
clerk OF Sebastian county. In len
nessee, she had united herself with
the Cumberland Presbyterian church
but on coming to Arkansas she
joined the Southern Methodist
church, her own denomination not be-
ing in convenient reach, mem
Der of which she was when she died.
She was also member of the x and
L. of Honor of Russellvillc, being
one of its charter members and its
first secretary. Ever since her resi-
dence in Russellville, she has beeD
actively connected with our schools
She first came by the election of our
board OF school directors to a posi-
ton in our public school under Prof.
q. A. Jones, in 1881, which position
she filed most acceptahly until the
free school ended in the winter of
1882 and the school passed under
the control of Professors Jones and
Shinn, when she associated hersel!
with Prof W. L. Morris in the man
agement of what was known as the
RusseilyilIe Academy.
She was married to Capt. Richards
in September 1882, whom she leaves
so soon TO mourn the loss Of q loving,
fond, and faithful wife, and careful
loving mother 10 his motberless
children. In every position
she was true and made friends
Of all she met. She was Christian
of firm characteristics, and left many
besides her own family circle 10
weep for her as a friend gone and
among the little boys and
gils, with aslarge portion Of whom
she stood related in the tender ties
Of the sunday school, social inter-
course, and school room. The corpse |
Of the deceased was put aboard the
west bound train on Monday eve
ming, accompanied by her husband |

gone out from amongst us. We ex (
