 Farmers are badly behsnd ou ac- count of so much rain. Wheat somewhat damaged by the hy-. Oats look fine. ~. We see so much said about the B.

Do vou think it q re- publican ticket or B of F. ticketS We had as well be ruled by radical republican rulers as by radical den oerats. but we don't propose to be ruled by either enc any longer. We claim 10 be E. of F. and we have lald aside party politics and aim to use policy. and think all true E. cf r. will agree with me on this- ] have always been democrat and am ret Some say aOh, VIC must stick to the old party" and thsnk the old party stuck it to us when they stopped so low as to tax our corn and meat and everything that re raIse as home 10 eat Was that the old party passed tbat bill CT was 1t the republicans l do not wish to say much on this subject. As for our county officers. I don't thsnk we could better ourselves I have the very kindest feelings toward them. But can't we send farmer to Little Rock to represent our interestss Yes we can, and think we will We have been led of by politicians and office seekers until at least we have seen the error of our way, and we have repented, believed ard been baptised in the name of the B. of F., ard God forbid that we should ever turn back to the ranks of party that IS continually IegislatiHg to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. There are three lodges of E. of F. on Crow Mountain !. We have several churches and school houses. and there Is lumber being placed on she ground ,o build bap- tist church Fruit crop as good as I ever saw. Wonder why some man don't start nursery on this mountain. I hare been living here eight years. and have the 6rst failure in fruit crop to note yet.

IT need not be taken for granted by republicans tha. tariff reform will go to sleep. No. No, IL happens to be one of the special hAndmaids to the gndGess of liberty, and the one most trusted in the sacred concerns of the peoples interests. I: stands ia such close relation to the welfare Of the masses of she people of this broad land, that it cannot sleep. Just ss well try 10 dam up the Nils. sissippi, or squelch the surging waves of the Atlantic, as 10 try to stop the current of tarid reform. The idea that the gneat masses of this country must pay tribute 10 build up and enrich special class, the manufacturers, is one that will not be tolerated by the great body of the laboring classes Of the country. The defeat of ;he Morrison bili in congress simply deicrs the time a little, and that Is all. The people of this nation wiiI rid themselves of this terrible oppression just as sure as they are left free to do so.

THE announcement of Hon. J. G. Wallace. our present prosecuting at- torney, will be found in this issue. His record is an open book, and he is too well known in the district to need any introduction.

 GEN. Grant made great reputa- ton in the military world. He won hohors there that carried him into prominence in the province of states maaship, but when the time passed for distinction in these spheres he caught al ambition to rival Wander bilt and Jay Gould as money king. He went into Wall Street and enter ed the arena of the great stock gam bling mart of the world. He expect ed his bull dog characteristics to make for him there what they had made for him elsewhere, but for once the goddess of fortune forsook him. and he was left stranded high and dry on big failure Gen. Grant will learn that It is different thing To lead an assault on the bulls and bears on Wal Street 10 what 1t was 10 lead one against $ confederate general, with the |. s. government al his back.

 DAVID Davis once held the balance of fpower in the l.. $. Senate, but the time passed away and Mr. Davis with il. Ii will be thus with few democrats in congress who happened to hold the balance O, power on the Morrison bill for the reduction of the tariff, and used II to defeat that measure. The idea that the few are to be enriched at the expense of the many, is one that can be harbored only by party born and reared under conditions of the gressest misapprehension of the peoples rights, and disregard for their welfare, and such conditions as has always existed in the republi- can party. The time will come when . few protective democrats will not hold the balance of power to com blne with republicans to defeat this eminentIy democratic doctrine.

af m and at night another han- quet, given by the lsliies ~ Eareka with m wire. anu lots to est. and plenty ef dry speeches, good never ths-.ess Those of Hon. Powell Clay ton and the ever ready s. H. Whit thorns, raaning over with uit and fun Too much praise cannot be given the ladies Of Eureka fer their banquet without anything 10 drink. When the ladies have the manage ment of things. they gre generally managed right Tae people of Fay etteviIle and Eureka, and in fact, everywhere this writer vent, vied with each other in their hospitality aud exceeding generosity.
 Al various points on the roal the train was stopped for the obserya ton of the wild and romantic scene IT. 4 squlnt was taken at the Devils Eye Broxr and an earnest wish harbercd that this might be the only part of that gentleman's phEsiognomy ever seen by members of the party. A stop of half an tour was made al the three year old town of Rngers, where, with mach sur prise. we looked upon twelve thousand dollar brick school house, and many other signs of growth and progress Everywhere en our jour ney VIC SAW progress and clever peo- pie, and especially at Eureka, in the excellent families Of Messrs. Boyd and Montgomery If the East Lynne House.
 Among the important matters dis cussed and acted upon in the associ- ation, was that Of resolution with view to ascersasn what was the matter with The University. IL IS known that some trouble has an ex- is;eBce there, and it ought to be known what 1t is. and the trouble eradicated- Another interesting matter WAS the discussion as to when an editor was in contempt Of court The discussion was lead by Col. s H. Whittborne of Benton, ,and others on one side, and Judge T. c. Peek Of Hot Springs. and others on the other. Col. Whitthorn maintain ed that the judiciary had a right to protect itself and is authority, and it was the sole jadge when it's au- tiiority had been brought into con- tempt Judge Peek contended that contempt. such as could be punished by court, must be committed in the presence of the court, and that court had no right to arrest and pun lsh for what did not occur under his observation, or in his presence. It was suggested by gentlemen pres ens, however, that this last position would hardly be safe one to rely upon in view of the actions of sey- eraI circuit judges in the state.
 We found in tue body of men com posing the state press association, one of intelligence and solid worth, and one whose intelligence and state pride will ever make il a power for good in the state of Arkansas.
