TWELFTH YEAR.---NO. Is.
TO WHEELERs. Words ot Truth and Soberness from Gray Hatred Veteran.
FAIR HILL. YELL COUNTY,
 ARK, May 12, 1886.

' Editor Arkansas Democrat.
 I desire to address few words of
 warning to the Wheelers of this State through your paper In do- ing so, I claim the respectful atten- tion of that organization from my past association with it. Many will remember that I organized a similar association in this county styled the "Sons of Liberty" For the sake of harmony and seeing the needed re- forms would go on through the Brothers of Freedom and the Wheel CTS, permitted and encouraged the merging of the Sons of Liberty with the Brothers of freedom. Although It probably is not, and would not be accorded to my instrumentality, the origin of these orders, yet the files of the newspapers conducted by me be- fore any of them had a beginning, will demonstrate who gave the birth to them. Whether accorded to me or not, 1 feel towards them all as q father does to his fayorite child. Win the Wheelers then listen to an old man now permanently retired from politics? I sec scheming poli- ticlans have led them to the verge of the precipice. They are about to take the fatal plunge into politics. l warn them of their danger. Iappeal to them to halt. The legislative re- forms, so much needed ten years ago, have been effected inside the Demo- cratic party. It1s not now legisla- tive reform that the masses need; it Is domestic and social reform. Stop, stop and consider. Do not destroy all your own good works by taking the fatal plunge into politics. With Berry's advent into tue gubernatori- al office, followed all the legislative reforms we needed. Thc Democracy is not now and since his administra- tion has not been in the hands of ringsters and court house strikers. It is comparatively pure; excepting few ugly scars, it is now what our Democratic fathers made it. It is worthy of our love and our fidelity. It's principles are the true principles for the people, and you and are of the people. Be not led off to un- known gods. Serve the true God of your fathers, for it will not be well for you to forsake Him just when He is the most willing and the most un- fettercd for our service and for our welfare. Every reform you may deem needed you can best effect through the party of your fathers. It IS true I kicked at the party when 1t disgraced itself, but when It's prin. ciples have been allowed by ring- sters to cut it's way, the people have always been the bcnliiciaries. You can watch the formation of rings and you can smash them as fast as they are formed, but do not smash the party whose principles alone can save you. Go on with your grand and glorious work now of self-reform, domestic reform, social reform, but let well enough alone in state and political matters. Do not turn up the lip of contempt upon the writer, who dares to warn you of your dan ger, but If you do, still consider his words, whether they are wise or the language of self-seeker. It can do no harm to consider we'll before you take what I think will be the fatal step. Ii. r. BARRY.

 GENTS Every one who is acquainted with me is aware of the fact that am of an exceedingly bilious temperament, and as consequence have suffered q great deal with low levers. About two months ago had a protractcd attack of these low, hardly perceptible yet dread- full bad. feeling levers. They would come on about o'clock in the after noon and last until bed time. 1 took quinine for fourteen days, but to no purpose. then took sixty drops Of ssSatanta" about the time the fever came on, and since then have been entirely clear of fever. Now, when l feel bad, take from thirty to sixty drops of ssSatanta," and 1t braces me up. It is simply immense and take pleasure i'll recommending 1t.

Died,

December 10th aged 81. Mrs. Francis E. wife
of Freeman Blanchard of Centralia.
Mr.. Blanchard moved from his farm
at Rudolph, in October, his wife then
feeble in health through evident symp-
toms of consumption. November 10Th
she gave birth to twins, in her great
weakness all that loving care and
medical skill could do proved unavail-
ing, and she passed away leaving her
helpless babes to the care and sympa-
thy of others.
Mrs Blanchard was a woman of
strong character and noble instinct, to
which was added, deep, clear and
stable christian experience, which won
the confidence and respect of all who
came in contact with her AS wife
and mother she was true and faithful
to all the details of home life and her
husband deig ghted to lean upon and
trust in her. Amongst her neighbors
and acquaintences she was general
favorite and trusted friend.
Though she clung to life for the
sake Of her family, yet her trust and
confidence in the love of God, in
Christ. and her hope in blissful i'm
mortality was so strong, that she truly
triumphed over the last euemy. Short
ly before death she gathered her
family around, for the farewell, after
this saying to dear friend, [ have
tried so hard to live for the sake of my
dear babes, but my Saviour calls me,
it is well! [ am so happy, so very
happy. | am going to see my precious
mother in heaven. Blessed are the
dead that die in the Lord, for they
rest from their labors and their works
do follow them.

The following preamble and resolu-
lt'qh regarding public printing was pre-
sented as follows:
Whareas, 1t becomes necessary in
connection with the management of
the municipal affairs of our county to
have considerable amount of public
printing, and it appearing that under
the present and prior system Of con-
tracing for the aforesaid printing, the
tax payers Of our county haves been
compelled to pay for having said
printing done, sum Of money largely
In excess of its actual cost and in con-
slderatlon Of the fixed and undeniable
fact that all public officers are simply
servants of the people residing in the
territory or domain which they repre-
sent and as such are duly bound to
exercise due care and diligence in pro-
tectlng the public from loss. Whether
the same accrue through the entailing
OF unnecessary and needless expense
or In the unwise disbursement of
public funds entrusted to their keepin 9
by virtue of their election to said
positions Of trust and honor believing
that a change in the manner of letting
said contracts will tend to materially
lessen the former annual expense in
Cured in said county and tighten the
burden of tax payers throughout our
county.
Therefore be 1t resolved, that all
county officers in, and for the county
of Wood having public printing of any
kind whatever to be done in connection
with their several offices be and hereby
are required to let said contracts for
such printing including the tax rolls,
and tax lists of said county, to the
lowest bidder, in accordance with the
provisions Of this resolution, as here
