Hamlin Wizard Oil Co.

Carriage No. 15, with it's team of white Spanish mules, under the rein ship of MT. Ed Buckly, of the Hamlin Wizard Oil Co.,, drove into our town from Dardanelle the fore part of this week. Dr. T. Watson Bogle. manager in charge, has verified his word as in- dicated by the programmes sent in ad- vance. The Quartette is simply grand, and the Instrumental department su- perb. The Vocalists, ,--Alfred c. Mar cham, 1st tenor; James II. Moran, 2d tenor; Isaac La Rue, baritone, and Dr. Wm. Hunt, basso. The musicians,- James H Moran, violinist; Dr. Wm. II. Hunt. organist, and Isaac La Rue, cornetist, have never been excelled in Russellville, and our citizens, especial ly the ladies, have enjoyed the treat. The great variety and choice selections seem as if they were especially assign ed to these gentlemen, and they are proficient in all styles and so distinct lv seperate--comic, recitative and sen- timental, come readily to them, and so artistically rendered. We do not won der that our exchanges have spoken so we'll of them. Dr. Bogle joins in the singing, and his songs meet with great favor. But he keeps all in mind that "All it costs is dollar bottle." They go to Dover from here and thence to Clarksyille.

To the People of School District
 Nh Ia

FELLOW CITIZENS The time will soon arrive when you will be called upon to vote upon the question of tax for the support of public schools in your district for the ensuing year. Dur ing last year we ran the school six months on the tax voted. leaving Il balance in the treasury offs three hundred dollars. We have Il large and well arranged house upon which there is an indebtedness to various parties of one or two thousand dollars for the liquidation of which no provision has been made. Now to meet this coutin- gency we ask and urge upon you to vote at least 2la miles of the next tax to liqudate the said indebtedness, so far as it will go. With the balance of the tax (2& niles) and the money on hand we can run the school next fall and winter five months, and as soon as our house is out of debt, which will be by following the above course two or three years, then we can run the school nine months in the year. It is of the ut- most importance that our district be out of debt and the only resource is to vote q part of the tax for that express purpose. There is a bill before con gress to appropriate a large amount of money for education in the South, should 1t become a law, It with the school tax will run free schools in our state nine months In the year. But none of it can be used for school-house purposes, SO we must build our own houses.
 Will you vote a portion of the next ttax to pay the money we justly owe, and long since due?

Obituary.

Bertha Ann, daughter of David B. and Elizabeth S. Nowlin. was born February P, 1883, and died near More land, Pope county, Ark, April 20, 1881.
 For many days little Bertha suffered, but now she rests. In Eden's fields the flower faded here has gone to bloom and exhibit its beauty and dis pense it's fragrance forever. while the gref-stricken parents are comforted only by cherishing the fond hope Of one day seeing her as she blooms on the far ofl shore. We thought her beautiful here, but when you see her In the house of her Father she will be surrounded by beauties never dreamed Of by fond parents, brothers and sis ters. Cheering thought this! At home in her Fathers house-not dead. ''she is not dead--the child Of our affection But gone uuto that dear school
 Where she no longer needs our poor protection, Where Christ himself doth rule.n
 A FRIEND.

CORRESPONDENCE.
Let Us Reason Together.

Brothers of Freedom and friends of common sense and reason, hear what one of your number thinks of the present issue of the day. .. I think many subordinate lodges of the order of B. of k. are working against the good of the order by spreading before the world at large every error and mistake made within the pales of the order, and not only that, but some of them are sailing in deep water, especially Bakers Creek Lodge No. l6S, that IS, if we are to determine by the report from said lodge given by one of it's members, and published in the DEMOCRAT in it's issue of April 14th, 1884. In the article referred to, the writer thereof charges the members of the County Council Chat was convened at Dover recently with being, or acting the part oI, or with, traitors, and more especially was this charge made against the delegate from Bakers Creek Now, l dislike to speak thusly, but my obligation to stand by the brother in the right demands it, and I shall speak whereof know. The author of the Bakers Creek ar ,ticle IS very ignorant or has wilfully and basely misrepresented facts for the purpose of slandering brother. and thereby weakening the order. l can't think that the writer of that article is E. of F. In fact. think he must have used the identical pat .ern he was "cut hy," informing the last two comparisons in his article, viz: "Wolves in. sheep's clothes" and "the no tail bull" for when he is yil;fying his delegate without a cause, he violates his obligation as . brother and makes himself ridiculous as a citizen, and l am authorized to say in defense to the attempted as sault upon the brother who repre-. scntcd Bakers Creek that he did his duty as delegate in every particu
 lar, and in strict obedience to his in. structions, and why should the broth
 CT be censured for carrying out his instructions, ard that too in a way that accuses him with one of the greatest crimes known to the Fed. cral laws? think it wrong to the brother and to the order of B. of F. to make any such foul accusations. Now, I can't say positively, how all the delegates to the County Council were instructed. Some one may have voted contrary to his instruc- tions. If he did, he did wrong, un- less his instructions were like the article from Bakers Creek above re- ferred to, without foundation oi reason, and detrimental to the order
 E. of F. and fellow citizens of Pope county, I now retire from the field though l hope the order of R. of F.. wiIi ever be wise enough to keep ont of politics and keep the obligation untarnished. If you want change in the officials of Pope county, peti
 tion the men you want to come before the primaries. and elect them. promise you if you bring out th' best men we have. am with you a'
 citizen, though not as B. of F
 for. when I was initiated into tha
 order, all political hobbies were de
 barred. <. One word to the demo
 crats Of Pope county, and then
 close: United we stand, divided VI
