grateful to you and other friends for
the gallant fight you made for me.
My vote in Mississippi county is es-
pecially gratifying, for should have
felt deeply mortified If the people at

in the Haskins fight. The victory
in old Mississippi County is just too
good to talk about. Driver gave

HONESTY AND REFORM.

One of the most worthy features
of the recent canvass in this county,
was tie general verdict against the
wanton prohlgacy and reckless ex-
pcnditures of the public fund, and
the manner in which the people met
and rebuked their public servants.
The people-the workers. and the
buildcrs-up of the country, who at
tend strictly to their own private af-
fairs, pay their taxes and obey the
laws, cares very little who are in of
flee, So long as the laws are exccut.
ed impartlally, and the public funds
disbursed economically y and for the
best interest of the common good T;
but once let them understand that
waste, incompetency and corruption
is the ruling spirit of their public
servants, then like sleeping lion
rudely awakened from his lair, they
spring forth to the rescue, and visit
just punishment upon those who
betray the trust reposed in them.
The people are waking up to the
fact that the maxim, "Eternal vigil
lence is the price Of liberty" applies
to county affairs as well as national.
The recent canvass was made under
the banner of"Honesty and Reform" "
tbts Snuti,nnnt y,s .n, tl.1nnnJ 80,
banners throughout the county; it
was uttered and repeated on the
stump at every gathering and at ev-
cry barbecue, until the woods echoed
and re e-echoed with the motto, "Hon-
esty and Reform" Now, what re-
mains tor the people to do is to see
that this idea is carried out by the
newly elected officers in the Court
House. See to it that the public
funds are judiciously expended, that
the laws are impartially administer
ed, and that proper settlements are
made in accordance with the law.
The same motive that actuates Re-
publican in office, is likely to seize
upon democrat; the love of power
and greed Of money that cause one
to put up jobs, in order to rob the
Treasury and keep himself in posi-
ton, is likely to effect the other in
the same way. BE vigilaut, and at
the first intimation of crookedne ess
on the part Of ANY OFFICIAL, sound
the alarm, and let the people again
rise in their might aud kick them out.

THERE are a great many men who
seem to think it makes no particular
difference about the enforcement of
some laws, but, that it does make a
vast deaf about the enforcement of
Others, particularly when they are
affected by them. They will find in
the end, that if one law is violated
it only makes the people and officers
more careless about others. When
ever the better class of citizens earn
estly demand a strict enforcement Of
all laws, there will be little to com
plain of, and things will be in much
better shape Woodruff County

In its fight for the democratic tick
ct, the TINES acted purely from
principle, and dealt simply with Off
cial records. 1t entertains but the
kindest feeling for these who honest
ly opposed its course. Personally,
many of the defeated candidates on
The republican ticket are our friends,
who in the business and private
walks Of life are upright, honorable
and just. They made good fight
and we believe they accept their de.
feat with that cheerfulness which IN
dicates higher and nobler aspirations
than does the kickers who recognize
no enterprise save that of which they
are the head and front.

As a Republican the colored maj

As a Republican the colored man
of Arkansas has nothing to hope for
in matters political. If he has been
Industrious and has accumulated
property, he may expect to live on
and on, pay taxes on his property
and yet have no voice in the affairs
OF the State. He may educate his
sons and they be full of promise,
yet, as Republicans, they need never
cherish or dream Of political prefer
ment or honors Why? Because
Arkansas is a Democratic State, aud
because the national government is
in the hands of the Democracy, and
it is not likely that a change will oc-
eur soon, if ever. If the colored men
will look at this matter as it is and
then notice the many retrenchments
inaugurated by Democracy it is quite
likely they will become Democrats.
Why should they remain Republi-
cans when there is nothing whatever
to be gained by it, when it offers them
no hope or reward, and when the De-
mocracy is at the same time inviting
them into its fold?- Little Rock

The Helena World, says: Convict
labor must go. The people of many
States Of the Union have been de-
batting how they can employ this la
Dor So as to not come in contact with
other labor. They have been, III the
majority of cases, working them with
in the walls, but this does not solve
the question. The best plan that VIC
have heard advanced is to work them
on the public roads. This plan has
been tried in,sevoral States with per-
feet satisfaction. Our roads are gen
orally neglected. Good public roads
are just as essential in country as
a railroad, and are just as much ad-
vantage in their way as the railroad.
We hope our legislature will look at
1t in this light and make some pro-
vision for the convict different from
that now practiced.

In the election for Prosecuting
Attorney, Cross county did much
honor to herself, and showed an APP
probation of real merit and ability
by giving Hon. w. b. Edrington
300 majority. Mississippi county
gave him 800 majority. We have
not yet heard of the result in the
other counties, but think that Bard
went through all safe, and will again
ably represent the state in the pros
ecution of evil-doers --[Cross Coun-
tpChronicle.
Good enough, only the majority
in this county for Bard over both his
opponents is 299 instead Of 800.

4 Tonquin Pearl Myth.
Gentleman,s Maeszine.

In countries where the precious stones
are commonly found. myths are found
with them very similar to those associated
with the commouer objects of our daily
experience. Thus. in Tonquiu the origin
of the pearl is accounted for in the fol-
lowing manners There was once a Ton
quinese king so well skilled in magicas TO
make q bow of pure gold, which as its ar
arrows never failed to deal death, was a
sure pledge of perpetual victory. He
therefore had no difficulty in defeating
another king who attacked him In time
his daughter married the defeated king
son, and one day the latter prevailed on
his wife 10 procure for him the magic
bow and substitute another resembling 1t,
IN its place. She did so in ignorance Of
the bows virtues, the result being that
the father in his turn was conquered and
compelled 20 Hy. Being informed by
demon of the source of bis misfortune be
seized his daughter, and drawing his
=cimitar, proceeded 10 kill her. butnot be-
fore She had time 20 predict that, in or
der TO afford future ages an enduring
proof Of her inuOcense, the blood that
She shed should be turned into pearls.
And surely So it must have beea for is
not the spot where she was slain stiIl the
place where men discover the fairest and
loveliest pearls.
