Yes, Russellville is happy in her pro-
hibition, and she may be unmindful OF
some things, but of one she is not, and
that is that however it may appear, the
Scriptures declare it, and we believe it,
that the wages of sin is death. 1t
strikes us that man must be getting a
little calous also who can take pleasure
| In that which advertises his own shame.
I'VE saw something the other day
which may be of interest to grape grow
ers. 1T may be new thing or 1t may
be old we are not we'll enough versed
to say. 1t was second crop of grapes
well developed and just ripened. They
we're growing on vine in Judge N
d. Shinn's garden. The Judge in
formed us that they were grown on a
shoot sent out after he had cut the
vines at certain season. lie forgets
the time when he cut the vine back
From the way 1t looked to us, it APP
peared that full crop could have been
grown by systematic pruning at the
time he cut this vine. 1t certainly will
be matter Of interest to know that
two crops OF grapes can be grown on
the same vine the same year, that is, il
it can be done. Perhaps some of our
| friends versed in vine culture can en-
| tighten us on this matter.

Township aud County Conven-
tiOnS Called.

Pursuant to the call of the Chair
man, j. M. Harkey, Esq, the Dem
ocratic Central Committee Of Pope
county met at the court house in
Dover, on Saturday, Sept. 26, 1885,
j. M. Harkey in the chair.
The Chairman stated the object OF
the meeting, and it was therefore
Resolved, That each township in
Pope county hold their township
convention on Saturday, Oct. 10th,
1885, az. elect delegates to the
county convention, which will be
held on Saturday, the 18th of Oct.
1885, for the purpose OF clecting del
egates to the State convention, which
meets at Little Rock, Ark, on the
22d of Oct. 1885, Tor the purpose of
nominating candidate for Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court, to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of
Hon. Jno. R. Eakin.
Basis Of representation in the
county convention for each township
be as per last convention.
u is therefore the desire of the
committee that the democrats in
each township turn out promptly to
man, and that townships not hay
ing elected their county central com
mitteeman will do so at their town
ship conventions, and report the
names of the same to the Secretary
Of the County Central Committee.
We hope that the democrats Of
Pope county will not remain at home
on the day OF the election, but will
turn out and vote the full strength
of the party.
1t is also requested that the Rus
sellville DEMOCRAT give publicity to
these proceedings.

Agricultural Items.
Rural and Workman.


Select the best and largest ears oil
corn for seed. Do this while gath.
ering, and don't put it off until the
last minute before planting time.
Rye for fall and winter pasturage
should be sown at once, in order
that II may geta good start before
frost. Every prudent farmer that
has stock to winter will provide this
kind Of pasturage.
Grass, as a rule, succeeds best in
cool moist weather. Hot dry wealth
er is unfavorable, and he who ex-
poets to succeed in securing a "catch
or stand" must observe this and
prepare for sowing at once.
Stick closely to the cotton patch,
as long as the good weather lasts.
Every lock of cotton saved is as the
little drops Of water that make the
great rivers, lakes and oceans, j. e.,
it swells the aggregate of produc-
ton, and value and puts money in
circulation ana in the pockets of the
people. 1t is these little leaks that
too often make farming Improbable
Preparation for wheat sowing
should be completed at once. The
sowing should be done between the
LIST and 18th of Oct, in the northern
portion of Arkansas, a couple Of
weeks later in the southern portion
of the state. Every farmer should
SOW enough to insure HIS bread next
year. We should strive to be, as a
people, self sustaining in the matter
of bread, meat and forage. The
smoke house and grainery should
be kept at home instead Of in the
north and west.
Despite the gloomy forebodings OF
our farmers Of two weeks ago, the
crop outlook is gradually improving.
We are now we'll into the second
week of cotton picking, and the re
ports Of the output are improving
in many localities. Preparations
for wheat sowing are now going on
in Western and Central Arkansas,
and the indications are for larger
acreage sown to small grain than
heretofore.

Tammsny has q new leader in the per.
son Of Charles E. Loew. 1t is said he has
all the sagacity and skill of his predecessor,
with less ~pugnacity of character. A New
York Republican journal declares he has
been able to forecast political events in g
way that seems marvellous to the uniniti-
ated. He planned the campaign of 1875.
which resulted in the election of B. X,
Phelps for District Attorney and John X.
Hackett for Recorder: the campaign for
Patrick keenan, when he ran for County
Clerk three years ago, and last year that OF
his brother for Controller. He modestly
disolsime any greater share Of the victory
than the rest of the Tammany leaders, but
ii ia known that his counsels at critical
times have led to the selection Of the right
course.

by Mr.. Gould, and which has long passed

so tea plants, which for six or seven years
have been producing tea Of as good quality
as any to be found In the market. The
family have not purchased tea for a great
many years, using only that which is OBJ
tanned from their own plants. 1t is be-
lieved that THE experiment of Mr.. Gould
has demonstrated the feasibility Of raising

The half breeds had real grievances t.
provoke the revolt led by Riel. and Sir
John Macdonald virtually admitted the
fact in Parliament while the conflict was
in progress, and in a general way RieI
has been the representative of the dis
content of the French population, as well
as of the wrongs of the Indian race.
The ~antagonism Of the French to vac
cination has augmented the feeling Of
bitterness toward the Government, and
the fact that in a total population of
1888, 93S the French and Irish are a ma.
iority even without the half-breeds and
Indians, has been regarded by many OBJ.
servers as an indication OF an alarming
condition Of the Dominion. 1t is certain
that Canada cannot afford to disregard
the demands of justice to the half
although there ought to be no
concession to Frenchmen who object to
vaccination, and il is also evident that to
the civilization of the entire In.
iian population must be perilous to the
Government.
