Valley Notes.
May l9, 1885

Correspondence of the Democrat.
 The flashes of speculation and the thunders of business are yet seen and heard on our horizon of progress .. The great machinery of nature, teo, moves boldly on. :. Farmers done planting cotton, and about done blowing corn the second time. \. Owing to the recent cool weather farmers are getting very bad stands of cotton, and many are having te plant the second time The unpar- alelled late spring and continued cool nights seem to have given king cotton terrible backset. Corn is looking tolerably we'll; wheat is heading out with prospects better than had been anticipated; oats look ing very we'll and the fruit crop good :. Grim monster death has again spread his icy wings over ouI community, calling home our friend and fellow citizen, Squire Jesse H. Russell. MT. Russsll died Saturday, May Is, at 6 o'clock a. m., lamented by wife and three children and a large circle of relatives and friends left behind. He had been confined to his room for some months with dropsy, during which time he suffer ed much, but bore his sufferings with Christian patience. At o'clock Sunday morning the funeral sermon was delivered at Mt. Pleasant, by Rev. J. c. Crimson, of the Primitive Baptist church, (of winch church Mr. K. was consistent member. At the close of the funeral services the remains were taken to private cemetery near by, and inferred in peace to await the great Trumpets sound. To the bereaved family we extend our sincere cendolence. :. Saturday, May Is, being the day fol holding annual school meetings, the electors of each of the following dis tricts met and voted "5 mills cur rency school tax": Center Valley, District No. 25; Davis Chapel, No IA; and Mt. Pleasant, No. 5S. Three cheers for Valley! It might be wor- thy of note to remark that since its formation (4 years), there has never been Q vote cast In Dist, No. 5S. against go mills school tax" They know how to appreciate school.

Correspondence or the Bem0crht-
 Potts Station will soon be as noted for her churches as Atlanta IS for railroads, she already has three, 2 north Methodist, and an A. k. F, both right at the station, Baptist church within three quarters of a mile, not quite finished, and M. E. church south, Tn contemplation. Services were held in the Baptist church week ago last Sabbath, preaching by Eld. Landus, and the church celebrated the Lords supper.
 On last Sabbath, the l7th inst, the A. R. r. church held services, and also communion. Their large church, said to be the finest in the county, was filled to oyerhowing, quite number of the good people from Russellville being visible in the audience. The services ~ssfe very impressive, sixty or more com nutrients gathering around the table of their Lord, and while par taking of the elements, the Pastor, Rev. NJ. Oates, continued to address all. While in the nature of the case all the professed christians in the audience could not partake of the e!ements-the emblems of the broken body and shed blood of their Re deemer-all could listen to, and profit by the words of admonition and advice, all could rejolce in the hopes and promises, and all could loook forward with an eye of faith and lay hold of the verities of eter- nity.
 This school Dist, No. 61, came we'll to the front on Saturday, voting the full five mill tax. They have a very neat school house, but as yet, have been unable to have free school. There is a fine school here however, under the management of Prof. Rayburn our County Exami- ner, who intends building up first class school, and the indications are, that he will meet with abundant sue cess.
 The farmers are not jubilant at present. Wheat IS spotted and with favorable conditions from this on not make more than halt a crop, and there is already complaints of rust. Corn is doing toleraply we'll, while cotton is still suffering from winter and cut worms. But a week or two of hot sun would turn our winter of discontent into glorious summer, for which, let us hope.

It seems that the interests of the Federal pensioners are better taken care of by the Democrats than by the Republicans. More claims were adjusted last month than in any month in the history of the Bureau, and there has been no increase of the clerlcal force. The explanation is that the Bureau is no longer part of the Republican machine for ear rying elections.

The following was part of Gov. Hughes speech at New Orleans on Arkansag day.
 Within the last decade the popu- lation of Arkansas has increased from 500,000 to more than ], 100000 and she has paid floating debt ol over $2, 2,5O0,000 Her taxable val ues have increased from $87, ,700,0 ,000, to $13O, 100000 and her railroads from about 45O to 1766 miles. She now has no floating deDt, and her bounded debt is only $5,000, ,000. Her state tax for all purposes is 4 mills on the dollar, ? mills of which is state school tax, in addition to which district school tax of } mills IS voted by the people annually Tn almost every school district in the state, for the education alike of all children. white and black, between the ages of 6 and 2l years.
 The climate of Arkansas is salu- brious and genial; her people are host,table and clever; her geograph- ical situation on the continent IS central, and railroads are rapidly tessellating her surface, many of which center at and pass her beauti- ful capital, Little Rock, not inappro- priately called the "City of Roses" And I must be permitted to say, sir, that her women are far, amiable and lovely, and, in truth, MT. Presi- dent, woman is lovely everywhere, and without her the dearest haunts and brightest scenes are dull. "Her moving tears quench the torch of superstition, and her celestial smiles dissipate the cold arguments of ma terialism." 1 observe, sir, that her charming ingenuity and beautiful handiwork adorn and lend to this noble Exposition it's greatest beauty and sweetest charms.
 Before closing l must not omit to say that the resolution embodying the conception of this colossal en. terprise was introduced before the Cotton Planters Association of
 
 America; first, at It's meeting n the capital of Arkansas, and that Arkan- sas made the first appropriation of money to aid in putting it on foot; that my excellent and most worthy friend, Col. Sterling R. Cockrill, of Arkansas, is the senior and first wee president of the association and an ardent supporter of this enter prise, and that all honor is due to the distinguished gentleman, MT. Mo.ehead, of Louisiana, who first proposed this grand scheme, and to the patriotic and public spirited gentlemen who have co-operated with and made it grand success. thank them all in the name of Ark ansas.

In the six years struggle fol American Independence the Mar quis De Lafayette expended $40 900 of his private fortune. He gave it freely to the cause of American Liberty. Is it possible that 90, 100000 of free and happy Ameri cans are unable to provide resting place for the Statue of Liberty sent as an amicable gift by the country men of Lafayette to everlastingly commemorate the blessings secured by the war in which he sacrificed hi' fortune and shed hls blood? Wt think not.

The composition and recitatlons were in advance or seemed to be of students 50 young, and argued exceedingly we'll both for teacher and pupils. Some of the compositions and speeches were especially deserving. There is no doubt but that these young ladies will be called again to our school, if their services can be procured.
