After the Brother of Freedom had
suspended. Bro. Gill, Of the Reflect
or, endeavored to inflict some unnec-
essary wounds. To wait until q dog
is dead and then jump on it in a
braggadocio kind of spirit, exhibits
less courage than malice. Before
Bro. Gill makes another such ex-
hbltion of heroism, l will simply
call his attention to the propriety of
taking hcalthful dose of bilious
bullets. There is something sour or
rotten In Atkins.

Bro. Gill, of the Pope County Re-
fiector, says in the heading OF an ar
tcle in his paper of few weeks ago,
that he Regrets to tell the truth"
How unlike Gill is from that other
great man George Washington
George hated to tell anything but
the truth. But it is very old say
ing, that great men will differ, and
in this instance we have every evi
dence of Its truthfulness.--Arkan'

Some of our citizens have spent
several days lately on the Bayou In I'M
successful pursuit of the festive fipny
tribe.
We had great mind to again ven
but after mature elaboration we decid-
cd to defer the announcement for a
month or so.
The early cucumber and green APP
pie crop is promising and the patient
physician wears broad smiles In antici-
patton of the immense amount Of suffer-
ing he will relieve.
1t is "sad" duty to note the mis-
fortune recently befallen some of eur
"promising' young men. They have
| been compelled to go to work! How
obdurate and relentless is the hand of
fate
The ice cream and confectionery
store of II. f. Erwin & Co., has been
put in apple-pie order by the artistic
hand of the junior member, and pre-
sents an appearance to-day that will
compare favorable with many q popu-
lar city resort.
-Messrs. Baird & Bright, the Jumbo
of Arkansas Machinery establishments,
present handsome advertisement to-
day calling attention to specialties In
their line. Pronptness. fair dealing,
and low prices are characteristics OF
this firm, and the DEMOCRAT heartily
commends them to the public.
Mr.. John N. Burnett, the cham
pion narratist of Point Remove, a thor
ough-going planter, an excellent citi-
zen, and constant reader of the DEMO-
Graf pail bis respects and subscription
to this office last Saturday. Mr.. b. was
on his way home from Dover where he
had served his country in the capacity
of juror.
The DEMOCRAT presents its readers
o.day the new advertisement of the
VIM. Barr Dry Goods Company, of st.
Louis. Many ladies of this section
have patronized this famous retail
house in the past, and are always
pleased with the low prices, excellent
quality Of goods and perfectly fair
treatment received. Mail orders re-
ceive prompt attention, and shopping
can be done in this way as we'll as in
person.
| Unless the most rigid precautions
are taken looking to the better santa
ry regulation of our little city, some
thing besides the sweet oders of spring
flowers will be waited upon the passing
breeze, ere long. The proper regard
| for health, to say nothing of appear
ance, should stimulate every property
holder to the point of earnest endsavor
to remove everything that is calculated
to diffuse disease or offend the vision Of
any one.
We heard a perfectly reliable gen,
tleman say lately that the published
account In the DEMOCRAT of Mr.. Aus.
tins failure to give bond was very
correct statement OF the facts in The
case. Our informant says Mr.. Austin
Is an honorable gentleman and good
citizen, and had he followed his Own
linclinations instead OF the advice ol
pretended friends, he would have fared
better. This perhaps accounts for Mr.
Austin's failure TO reply to Mr.. Rem
frow's letter as was promised In thu
Reflector.

w. o. r. McAnally, our cores

the tobacco habit. OF course consumers
of the weed will dissent from the posi-

unaccustomed to Its use in any form,
we are unable to say whether our corr
respondent is entirely right OF not. We
leave our readers to approve or disap-

useless and expensive habit that might

Narrow Escape from a Conflict.

MADRID, Sept. lot is stated that the Span
ish commander at Manila telegraphs that when
it was found the German flag had been hoisted
at Yap, the Governor of the Carolines
Senor Babrilles, visited the commander
of the German gunboat Itlis, and
accused him of piracy. and breach
of international law. The German commander
replied that he had simply obeyed orders A hot
argument ensued, ending in scufle, when the
German commander retired to his Ship The
Governor then boarded the Spanish man-of war
San Quinten, and requested the Captain to fire on
the !tlis. The Captain refused, the Governor
of the Philippines, having ordered him to avoid
conflict. The governor then ordered the crew
to fire, whereupon the captain drew revolver
and threatened to shoot the first
man who obeyed or repeated the
first order. The governor again ordered
the men to fire, when the captain shot him in
the shoulder. Babrilles was afterwards taken
prisoner to Manila, where his trial is proceeding.
The government formally deny that there was
an alteration on shore, but are silent in regard
to what occurred on the ship.
