1t is rumored in Official circles that
G. w. Dabney, the horse thief, whose
capture and return to Sharp county
was reported in this paper week before
last, made his escape by breaking his
letters and jumping through the car
window. We have heard the story
discredited and think it likely that
Dabney has been nobbed.
Our friend l.. II. Crutcher, Esq,
OF Fort Smith, in renewing his sub
scription to the DEMOCRAT says Il
cannot do without nv weekly news
letter from Russellville." He also
writes that about the LIST of Sept. he
will take charge of a large hotel. Mr..
Crutcher is an experienced hotel man,
and there is no doubt his house will be
very popular.

One thing to be regretted in con-
nection with Mrs. Chase's lecture last
SUNDAY night was its interruption by
the swapping of watches. She WAS here
under the auspices of our own elect
ladies', and being lady herself, and a
guest of our own excellent ladies, she
was certainly entitled to better courte-
sy than was displayed by this swapping
of watches. Such a practice is to be
deprecated, because it lacks the element
of proper regard for others.

A silver dollar weighs nearly an
ounce. Hence any letter not heavier
than the dollar can 60 for single two
cent stamp. This is easily remember
ed. If you want to be more exact,
take silver dollar and a silver five
cent piece, and you have an ounce al
most to feath er's weight. Provided
you haven't the silver dollar handy.
take two halves, or IL you have nickels
only, five of them and small copper
cent will give you nearly az ounce. As
ninety-nine letters out of hundred
will fall within the ounce weight, this
simple system will serve for general
| use.
