Farmers are quite up with their
work, but are gloomy, in consequence
Of dry weather, there having been no
rain heroin over three weeks. Corn
is badly hurt; cotton is not material
~ injured vet, gardens are almost a
failure. Wheat has been harvested
and found to be better than was ex-
pected.
Appleton can boast o. an ordinary
wheat crop. a gnod separator and q
good -four mill, with which, taking
into connection good berry crop,
we will be able to amply supply the
next Presbytery, which will convene
here in August.
A Methodist church was organic
ed here few weeks ago, so we can
boast Of two good churches, working
harmoniously together, as christians
ought everywhere to do.
Our school has succeeded far be-
yond our widest expectations. 1t
has turned out six teachers recently,
who are working at salaries ranging
from 1894 to $40 per month. The
school has gained ground all the
time, and permanent school at this
place seems inevitable. There are
in this school, ten music pupils
learning to play the organ, all doing
we'll. The school numbers about
sixty-five pupils and will grow
stronger, now that the farmers are
about through work.
The Masonic building has been
finished inside and out, and G. A.

at another evidence of her prosperity
and morality. The plans and specl-

Church. 1t is designed to be a
thing of beauty, aud will cost about
$4,000, and no doubt will be the
handsomest church west of Little

NoRRrsTowS, ARK, July 10th, 1883.
Editor Democrat:
wish space to correct the state
ment in your last Issue in which you
attempted TO give the facts about
the difficulty between my brother,
Dan. j. Hearn and Phil. j. Harvill.
Your account of the affair is calcu-
lated to do my brother an injustice
and prejudice the community against
him. | was present at New Hope
church, and saw the entire affair. /
will not attempt TO give the facts
here, because there will no doubt be
judicial examination of the affair
soon, & as my brother, II nctcaptured
will return soon and have his trial, J
and it is in no way proper to discuss
the facts In newspaper before the
trial takes place. l wish simply to
say, that the facts are not as you
gave them, dor was my brother pre-
pariug to leave the state, as alleged,
as he had money loaned out here,
and was buying some stock, and was
going to Yell county the next day to
homestead q piece of land. When
the case comes to be heard, you will
| find that what occurred on that occa
sion, was not matter for which my
brother was wholly to blame. Ny
brother is not quarrelsome boy mol
does he seek difficulties, but he viii
not suffer himself injariously talked
about without resenting it. He die
not threaten the bystanderslif any
attem.s we're made TO arrest him af
ter the fight. He remained on the
ground for some time and until
told him to leave, as / wished him
to do, as I wanted to prevent any
! further difficulty. | am on very
4 friendly terms with Mr.. Harvlll, anc
have no unkind feeling toward him
and am truly very sorry on his ac
count as we'll as my brothers. AS {
brother was involved, you can ap
preciate my feelings in the matter
and think as fair minded man
as / hope you are; however friendly
YOU may be to Mr.. Harvill, still yol
would not wish to do my brother in
Justice. My views OF this matter ar
not alone, as others saw and heart
what | did.

TAKE notice and govern yourselves
accordingly. Teachers of the 5tt
Judicial District, an opportunity Is
now at hand to give the Educationa
interest a grand forward move, and
we are anxious to see the occasion
improved, and the teachers are the
ones to do it as well in their own as
in the interest of the popular educa
ton. BY appointment of Prof. w
L. Thompson, State Superintendent
of Public Instruction the District
Normal Institute of the 9th Judicial
District will be held in Russellville
July 20 to August 3, under the
instructorship of Messrs Jones and
Shinn, of this place. This institute
ifImproved, will be potent factor IN
stimulating and enthusing teachers
and in forming and energizing pub
lie sentiment in favor of popular ed
ucation. These Institutes are tenn
porary Normal schools, where the
common school branches are taught
and also the art of teaching them.
Every teacher in the district should
be in attendance on this institute the
whole time, and it seems clear that
all, who wish to excel in the pro-
gressive and reap increased salaries,
will be. County Examiners, School
Directors, and all persons interested
are invited, During the session of
the Institute three lectures by prom
inent men in the state win be deliv-
cred upon the subjects of (1) Civil
Government and School Law, ~
Hygiene in the school, (3) Morals
and Manners. Teachers are request
ed to bring at least one textbook on
each branch of study, also blank
book and pencil. This we write
with Prof. w. E. Thompson's, State
Superintendent, circular lette rlying
before us. We wish we had room
for his entire letter, for we know the
DEMOCRAT will never be better en-
ployed than when urging upon our
people the claims of popular educa-
ton and upon our teachers the duty
of thoroughly furnishing themselves

the first intelligence Of an act so
tragic and fearful, and not having
been on the ground to weigh every
phase of the matter to get express
ions little out of line, if not with
the main body of facts, still with
