LOCAL HAPPENINGS.


The mite society of the M. K.
church, will meet at the residence OF
III. N. Smade, Oak street, on Friday
evening July 18th. A cordial invi-
tation is extended to all to attend.
We are requested by its presi-
dent to announce that the Board OF
Equalization for Pope County Will
meet in Dover on Monday the 10th
inst. to transact the business requir-
ed of it by law.
We are informed by Mr.. ". ID.
Livingston. that he saw mule with
q lot of other loose stock near town
on last Wednesday answering the
description of the one advertised in
the DEMOCRAT. The owner can take
advantage of this information to re-
cover his mule.
DIR. G. W. Gray, the distinguish
ed president of the Little Rock Uni
versity, The property of the NJ. T..
church., spent Saturday and Sunday
in Russellville. We had the pleas
ure to hear the Doctors mastery
discourse on Sunday night. From
his appearance he's The kind of man
to win upon the people.
Prof. Baker whom many Of our
citizens will remember as a teacher
here and at Dover in days long gone
by, was welcome visitor in our
midst few days past. BY dint of
hard word and perseverance, Prot.
B. has steadily moved upward until
he has few equals and no superiors
as an educator in our state. Such
men leave their footprints in the
sands of time"
That was clever piece of STRAIT
egy of Sheriff Quinn and Constable
Poe, by which young man who was
on tho hunt for cartridges in town re-
Gently was unwittingly trapped, and
enjoyed the usual fine of fifty dollars
and costs for carrying concealed
weapons. John is one of the boys
that's hard to head in this line Of
work, and is making record in this
and every other deport of duty
that is creditable to him as an Of
ficer.
On the Goth ult., we had the
pleasure of shaking by the hand,
Col. Ben. t. Embry and Mr.. ID. M.
Mourning, of Atkins, the former gen
tleman being none other than the
honored president of the senate of
the State of Arkansas, who stands on
a line, and full to the front with his
fellow townsmen DR.. Hill, DR.. Potts
and Eph. Darr, and with ex-sheriff
Higgins and lobe McCracken and a
score of Russellville gentlemen both
for size and handsome appearance.
The most handsome dress in its
line ever seen in this country was
the one which the front of Mr.. j. l..
Shinn's Mammoth brick recently re-
ceived at the hands of that master
painter, Mr.. Henry f. Erwin. This
job more than any of the excellent
work of our young friend attracts at
tention and displays his consumate
skill in ornamental painting. We
take pleasure IN this line of praise
for such native talent, and bespeak
for this worthy son of Pope the larg
est measure OF success. Read his
advertisement in this issue.
