People in health ought to sleep on a
not-too-soft mattress The feather
bed is not by any means ahealthy one.
nor. unless it put under the mattress,
is it one that is conducive to sleep.
The bed clothes should never be heavy,
but they ought TO be warm. An elder
down quilt is a capital thing, but it is
too hot for the summer months. Paper
quilts can now be had, and they are
very excellent in their way. The pill
lows on a bed should be particularly
well arranged for comfort. One ought
to be very large so as to quite support
the shoulders, and it should be elastic
and not too yielding; it is an uncom-
Portable feeling, that of sinking in a
pillow.

The Circuit Court of Pope county convened in Dover. Monday, April 7th. Judge Geo. s. Cunningham, presiding. The grand jury was impanneied and charged at about 10 o'clock, and enter ed upon their duties. The, jury Is one among the very best ever drawn in the county. It is. composed of the fol- lowing citizens:
 D M MMonrning. foreman, Adam Chron- lister, II Y Dagisy I Bullock, Sinclair F0stor, Van T0mlinson, G Moore, w |G Nordin, J H Frye, c w Forehand, " -W Teague, J K Bell, W J Sherriil, J w Dickey, s T. Bogin.
 The charge of Judge Cunningham is highly spoken of.
 The following members of the Pope county bar were present at the opening of court. His honor Judge Cunning ham, Prosecuting Attorney J G. Wall lacc, Messrs. R. B. Wilson D. B. Gran ger w. c. Ford l.. w. Davis Jefferson Davis, Lawrence Russell of Russellville. Messrs. Gus A. Gill J. F.. Joyner and 1T. J. Owens of Atkins. Messrs. NJ. IL. Davis, HI. s. Carter, Zenas l.. Wise ard w. D. Jacoway of Da-danelle. Mir. J. P. Woods of Coal Hill, and Hon. Jor- dan E. Cravens of Clarksville. These names indicate the array of talent that can be found at the bar of Pope county. The regular pannel of the petit jury comprises the names as follows: B K Page, J B Davis, J A Pitts, w D East erling. w N Oates, B K Bayliss, k H Howell. w s Campbell, w M Byerly, J N Burnett, R. c. Sibley, J H. Arm, w s Bowden, w H Garden, W G Hicks, M Bradley, w L Oates, R M Black burn. A J Hartsell, J Hillis, E Rushing, B H Allen and W A Lyons.
 An inspection of the docket showed a very light crop of criminal cases. We noted the disposition of few. State vs. Jesse Dunlap, misdemeanor, sub mitted, fine $10. State vs. Tom Evans, breach of the peace, submitted, fine $l0. State vs. Bud Hodges, breach of the peace, submitted, fine $25. State vs. John M. Query, assault with intent to kill, submitted as agreed to simple as. sault, fine $50. State vs. Burt Gray, 3 cases, selling liquor, one submitted, fine $25. one jury trial, convicted, fine $25, one nolle pros. State vs. Henry Bonds, stricken from the docket. State ys. Leonard Boody, forfeiture taken against bondsmen Fl c Boody, WN West and M N Lee and alias capias or- 'dercd for defendant to Sheriff of the county and bail fixed at $500.

Up to l2 m. Tuesday two indictments only had been returned into court.
 Indications are that court will suffer an early adjournment, and the average citizen and tax payer will suffer no an- guish on this score.

 Before your paper is filled with an nouncements will write few lines for publication, hoping may be un- derstood. My mind goes nut to look after the interest of the B of F, and I imagine I hear them say some thing like this: We must have change and we will have change, for we have got tho majority to get things in a better, I shall not say Tn a worse fix, for if we are defeated, we can't by no means be worsted. B. of F do you all remember what onr merchants said about the order burs- ting up this spring, and they would have us where they wanted us? An. but the beautiful spring is Aow upon us. and we are not bursted much! But are growing stronger all the time, and the prospects are in our favor for us to accomplish some thing yet. We must keep the wheel rolling, and pay no attention to the long headed, slick k-tongucd sharpers for they have had us under their thumbs long enough. We have men in the order of B. of F. we can trust for officers who cannot be led by those rings and monicd men, all they want is chance to get out of this strain we are in. We want men of some firmness, Inen of ability, ,men who know the feelings of the poor laboring class of people. We will hunt up the man for the office and not the office hunt the man. Mir.

The question that agitates this en- frightened community just at present is, where to invest the dimes and dollars to good advantage? It is of equal im- portance to the rich aud the poor-they must ali be supplied with goods and outfittings snch as we exchange with the public for ready cash. We feel liberal to all, and would fain coax them to enter our establishment of traffic and pleasure. We'd like to make every body happy, the rich,the poor, the high and low; it's a part of our business to make people feel jolly and comfortable, and good natured. Why old bachelors who never have smile for any one (until they marry), struggle into our place and immediately break out with good humor like six months old baby with the nettle rash. A man rushed in the other day with the jumping tooth- ache, he had spent $6 in Pain Killer and hadn't spoken a civil word to his wife for 10 days, but as soon as he caught sight of the pleasant surround ings and IMMENSE BARGAINS that stare the citizens in the face who enter the hospitable doors of our establish ment, his face became wreathed in smiles, and he straitway hied home ward, carrying to his better half, as offering, pair of our Elegant Kid Button Boots, (we have an elegant assortment), a new spring suit for him. self from our MAMMOTH STOCK OF CLOTHING, stylish hat and neck wear innumerable; and all because we are good natured and jolly, and relieve you of your money in the easiest and pleasaDtest way possible. So come friends and fellow-citizens, dvspeptics and hypochondriacs, politicians, sages, philosophers, and long haired poets, maidens fair and matrons sedate, come and be jolly with the firm of "who laughs and sells goods at extremely low prices.
