 ithis poor world had been severed. sSlch IS life.n Ed, let's 20 fishing and forget lem <. Messrs. Davis, Ford and R. B Wilson attended the iprobate court here last week. The last l saw of Judge Davis he was llrying to swap dogs with Capt. KoI:

Quinn, went to Russell lville and Atkins last week. The tmatrimoniaL market is advancing w. T. Martin to Miss Mclvlna Smith, Frank Smith to Isabella Furr, F. NJ. Hudson Jr.. to Nancy L. Penning
 ton and J. H. Malone to Mrs. Mon- iroe Cothran, arc the licenses issued since my last report. :. There are, 6 yet no new suits being filed for the next term of the circuit court. =. Deputy sheriff John R. Young went to Russellyille on Friday on official business. Johns an efficient deputy, and has done as much in his line as any officer in Arkansas. x. The chairman of the executive committe suggested on last Satur- day that every good democrat in the county constitute himself commit tee to work for the success of the party in the coming elections. It occurs to me that no suggestion should be necessary under the pres ent state of the party. There is ab- soiuteiy no evasion of the question, we see it in every turn of opposing factions, that this race will be one final struggle of the old republican party to regain it's supremacy. I am sorry that men who have ever ad hercd to the principles of democracy can be deluded into it's opposite by the mere change of name. Parties may sometimes change, but princi- pies never do; and this may be said as we'll of religion, or those constitu- ent elements that serve to make up the man of our inward promptings of moral right or wrong, as Of politics. l heard man say the other day that he was just as conscientious and scrupulous in his political pri.- sl- pies, and was actuated upon that subject by the same promptings that governed him in his religious and business life. Every man in Pope county knows that man, and his un- swerving adherence to party princi- ples is proverbial. This should be the principle to guide every man in exercising the right of voting. It should actuate the republican, as we'll. Can any man who reads this paper tell me of a single instance of apostasy from republicanism to de- mocracy? Again: Did you ever know republican who lost an op
 portunity of voting that ticket, or of losing any sort of opportunity to se- cure the downfall of the democratic party? Where is the greenback par tyr It sleeps the sleep that knows no waking; and those shades of ob- livion that hold it in their cold eln- brace will never more let their cap tive loose to serve the republican party under the guise of greenback party. So it is with every other or ganization. whatever name it as- sumes, or in whatever shape it comes; having no principles of political economy they will follow in the wake of the g. b. p. How long, o demo crats! will this continue? And you who are afiiliating with the s'Wheel," can it be that you will vote for men put out by that party who have al
 ways been foremost in promoting radical supremacy? If you do, and we again see repeated the rcvolting calamity of republican mis rule, then, tue object of this organization will be too visible. "In union there is strength" REPORTER.

 LITTLE RocK, May, S.-During the recent sickness of my mother, Mrs. l.. l. Hays, winch terminated fatally April 3, 1886, we resided in what Is known as N c. settlement in Pope county. All the time of her sickness she was surrounded by the good peo- pie of that settlement, who seemed to never grow tired in attending to her every want. In short the busi- ness of the community almost ceased. T q. 4
