1.-The past week afforded us another
opportunity to mingle among the good
people of Atkins. Pope county is un-
der obligations to that little city for
many of her best citizens and much of
the business enterprise that puts her
well to the front as one of the most pro-
gressiye in the state.

has been received. 1t is one of the best
numbers yet issued. The Teacher is
bound to succeed, and will be an honor
to its editor and to the State. Send for
it. Address, Prof. j. II. Shinn, Little
Rock, Ark. We club the DEMOCRAT
and Teacher at $1.75 per year.
We made visit to and mingled
among the good people of Potts Station
one day last week. With the exception
of a slight cloud, in consequence of the
dry weather and the prospective short
ening of crops a little, all was right
among the business men of that COM
munity, whom we found progressive
and prospecting. The station is the
fiourishing centre of one of Pope coun-
ty's excellent localities.
Look out for new swindle.
Sharpers call at private residences and
report themselves as government" clamp
inspectors. They require the lady
to produce all the lamps In the house
and after pretended examination fill
out blank certificate stating that they
are safe, and authorizing their use.
For this inspection they demand fee
of ten cents per lamp. No one is au-
thorized to make such inspection.
IF. NJ. Elsey, the alleged counter
feiter of Franklin county scrip, has is
sued circular in which he tries to inn
plicate Prosecuting Attorney Wallace
| in questionable manner with the
prosecution of the case before the
courts. The last issue of the Ozark Sun
contains reply from Mr.. Wallace in
which he com pletely vindicates himself
| from the charges made. 1t Is very evil
dent that Mr. Elsey has gained nothing
favorable to his cause by attacking Mr..
| Wallace.
The following resolution was adopt
ed by the grand lodge b. of f. at VAL
| ley Springs: "Resolved, That we are
unalterably opposed to the contract
system with merchants, believing that
failure and injustice will ever be the
result of such course" How do the
merchants of Russellville, Dover, At
kins, Potts Station and elsew here, who
were induced by this order to make
contracts with its members, like this
reflection upon their integrity? Fail
ure and injustice" is charged against
every one of them, no exception Is
made.
