CAGLESVILLE CHRONICLES.

CAGLEsvILLE, Feb. "a, 1883.
Editor DEMOCRATS:
Caglesville still stands, although
it has very muddy foundation.
All the creeks and branches are
on boom and the mud-holes are
overlooking with mud.
We hear no complaining of search
ty of water now-not even a silent
murmer.
Mr.. |. N. eagle, our popular dry
goods merchant, went to Little Rock
last week to lay in his stock of
spring goods.
We hear that some of our young
galants have been changing sweet
hearts lately. That is right, boys,
when you have a sweetheart you
don't love, change he, for another.
A woman by the name Of Mary
Craig, who lived a few mules north
Of here and who has been crazy for
a period of thirteen years. eight Of
which she has been confined, died
last Monday night.
Truly cupid is no respecter Of per-
sons. Last week our old esteemed
friend Mr. Isaac IIatley led to the
hymenial altar aud promised to ''love
and cherish Miss Camelline Roland.
We hope they may live to see a
long life OF happiness and prosper
lty.

CAVE CREEK.

Editor DEMOCRAT:
1t begins to look as though the
spring day was down upon us, as
the mud is fast drying up, and the
farmers are beginning to repair their
fences and prepare their land for til
ling.
Our farmers on Cave seem to be
in great hopes as to what they were
last year, as they had but little corn
to make their crops on. This year
they have plenty, and the past should
be warning to all 20 try to keep
plenty. Let every farmer plant all
the corn and cotton that he can tend,
and potatoes, for they will sell.
James Martin, Esq, has bought
John Salman's interest in the saw
mill. Hope that he and Greenhaw
will make things lively in the way
of lumber.
G. H. Dodson is making a ferry
boat at Mount Hersey on Buffalo.
Wish him success, as we greatly
need a good boat there.
We have not had any mail here
for some three weeks, ice and water
being the cause.
F. Dodson, on Gave, is putting up
quite nice string of plank fence
along the road, which greatly i'm
proves the old farm. That is the
way to make your farms look like
somebody lived on them.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, Feb u, 1888.
Editor DEMOCRAT: Thinking 1t
will not be amiss, drop you few
lines for your valuable paper.
Last Sunday morning quite num-
Der of both houses of the Arkansas
Legislature took a free excursion.
specially prepared for the occasion,
to Arkansas City, on the father of
waters. 1t is said, but | do not be.
lievc it, that there was quorum of
both houses along, and that shey re-
pealed the three mile law. Anyway
they (the members) were SING y in
their seats on Monday morning AZ
roll call. And as we are at roll call
| would say journal was read and
approved and business commenced.
About the first matter coming up
was a bill to regulate passenger
rates aud lreIghts on railroads,
which was discussed and well venti-
lated and the bill piaced on It's third
reading and final passage, the vote
standing, for the bill 81, against the
bill Al; So the bill failed to pass.
The above was all the business
transacted during the morning ses-
sion that created excitement.
The main exciting bill of the
evening session was Mr.. FEEDERS
joint resolution for constitutional
amendment to exempt capital in
vested in factories and mines. Mr..
Fielder made quite a ventilating
speech and was very Jealous. Others
spoke pro and con, and finally the
bill with all amendments were laid
on the table, which killed the reso-
luton. The vote stood, for the
resolution 80, against A; SO the
resolution was lost.
Now it becomes necessary to ex-
plain my vote, which | will do
briefly. During our campaign last
summer | advocated equal taxation
at every township in Pope county,
and found no man to object to my
theory of equal rights and equal
taxation and / could not digress
from my well defined position of last
summer. | am fully aware of the
fact that ! have friends who Will not
approve of my position, and while |
would he glad to serve al, my friends
and hope every one will look on my
action from a charitable stand point,
| would say | was obligated on gen
eral principles to vote against the
resolution.
| voted to regulate passenger
rates and freights on railroads.
The good citizens will remember
the excursion by the legislature to
RussellviI,e in 1879 and its effect,
and should they say ditto to
the one last Sunday | would not he
surprised.

JUDGE wYLIE's DECISION.
Judge Wylie. after referring to numerous auth
critics and examining the definition of the term

attorney stands1n this respect in the same rela-
ton TO the court as the foreman OF the grand fury
and an Indictment with the name CT the foreman
printed thereon would be regarded as no indict-
ment at all. lie would, therefore direct that the
fnformat1ons In this condition be QuaShed.
These cases were represented by Messrs. A. B.
Williams, e. p. Phelps, L. Browning and j. Med
Darlington. and the point decided Is precisely the
same as that argued in District case against
Frederick Rose by Messrs. F. T. Miller and John f.
