 --Mr. P. II. Eubanks of Cambrio, Cal, reader of the DEMOCRAT for eight years, says in a letter renewing hIs subscription 'sI expect to take your paper as long as live." One possesssng such excellent judgement should live a long time and enjoy many pleasures. Such Is our wish.
 --Dr. ". D. Mayfleld, representing the Mutual Self Endowment Aesocia- ltion Of Longview, Texas, has been calI- l ing upon our citizens the past week in the interests of his company. The Dr l Is courteous gentleman and enter- taining onversationalist. He has met with gratifying success here.
 We have given "The Boysu nook in the DEMOCRAT to ventilatc their matters little. We do this for the sake of spice among the young folks, we hope that the greatest care will be by proper locals much less improper ones. We shall lend our effort to as- sist "'The Boys' in keeping anything improper or calculated to give offence. from appearing.
 The furious onslaught made upon the DEMOCRAT by it's vinaictivc and inn petuous neighbor, the Reflector, is al- ready beginning to bear wholesome fruit. A club of ten subscribers re- ceived last Saturday from Atkins pres- ty plainly proves that the Rcflector's denunciations don't denounce to any appr reciable extent, but like boom- erang recoils upon the head of the au- thor. Let the irrepressible conflict go on.
 A meeting of the Educational com mlttee of the Arkansas Baptist State convention, was held at tile Baptist church at this place last Friday. In regard to the establishment of a Bap- tist college the plan of endowment was agreed upon. but the matter Of location was left to the competition of towns desiring the college. The next meet ing will be held in July. at which time the Proressorships will in all probabili- ty be decided.
 It is said that the Reflector editor gazed upon the Scottsville resolutions in last weeks DEMOCRAT with mourn ful and didn't-know-it-was- loaded ex- pression upon his classic features. He sfelt the pulse" in the county council. and now the Scottsvilie physicians have very scientifically diagnosed the Re- fiector's malady. Iris thus ssambltion sometimes o'erleaps itself," and leaves an indiscreet editor stranded high and dry upon the rocks of disappointment.
 MT. Dave Battenfield called our at tention to what he claims to be fact, that the direction of the milky way across the heavens has been changed. It used to be north and south. now he says it is east and west. If this is true which we have not verified by obser- vntfon, it will do to go along with the mysterious red sun sets as one of the remarkable events of the year 1883. Who knows but that these are the re- markable signs of the dissolution ot all material things-the end of tine world.
 --The Arkansas Teacher for April has been received. It shows many evidences ofimprovement, namely: in- creased number of pages, increased advertising patronage; Increased sub scription list. and last, but not least, a greater range of subjects discussed. The signet of success is already stamp ed upon tire Teacher, and it's career will be upward and onward. Price $1 per year. Sample copies can be pro- cured by addressing the Editor, Prof. Josiah II. Shinn, Russellville, Ark.
 The Editor of the Atkins Reflector says he is on record at Dover. Is he not mistaken? Did he not lay violent hands on that substitute he offered to Mr. Baird's motion, when he was ''try- ing the pulse" and pockered it and the secretary has been unable to get it ~:. f.xtk k1.<, gentleman mistaken? And by the way, we noticed that the requests of his cor respondents to publish that substitute, has pot yet been honored. Why did the Reflector man seize and conceal those ''pulse" resolutions, if he is such an outspoken fearless person? Echo answers why!
 -1he Concert given by the ladies of the Christian Church, for the benefit Of that Church, on Wednesday night, the l6th inst, was magnificent success in every particular. It was planned in the best of taste, and it's execution could mt have been bettered, and it was rel- ished with q zest by crowded house. Several tableaux and songs deserve special mention, but we have not space to do so. The actors, and everyone connected with it, are to be congratu- lated. and doubtless many were disap- pointed that the tlisagreeable weather prevented repetition of it on Tuesday night last. It Is held in reserve, and will be repeated as soon ns circnm stances are propitious. The concert netted about $40.
