At Altus, Ark, Sunday morning
April 25th, 1886, Rev. w. J.. Dodson.
Never have we announced the death
Of friend with more sincere regret.
The tidings OF his death will cause deep
sorrow wherever he was known. Our
coincidence is extended to the disconsO-
late wife and relatives Of the deceased.
OF measles In the town of Dover,
Pope county, Ark, April 2S 1886, Rob
ert Edgar, son of James L. and Mary
Odom. aged three years, two months
and two days.
Dear Edgar thou hast been taken from
the evil to come,
Thy fond parents will miss thee,
Other friends will miss thee but we
must submit--we can do no more
But strew thy grave with fading flow
ers,
Fit emblems of thy transient stay,
While God removes to "Etlens bowers"
Thy soul TO bloom in endless day.
A FRIEND.

In another column will be seen a
notice for school election in this dis
trict, at which time tax for this en-
suing scholastic year will be voted.
The great barrier, a public debt, which
has retarded the success of our public
school for the last few years, has grad
ually grown beautifully less' until
now 1t can hardly be considered an Inn
pediment. 1t is to be hoped, that every
vote cast will be for five mill tax,
which will perhaps enable us, once
again, to raise our heads and look for
ward to brighter and better day,
when we shall all rejoice In the pos
session of good public school nine
months in the year.
Nothing like it has been seen here
for long time. Clothing Is offered by

Is the time for you to make your invest
ment, for this offer will only hold good

CORRESPONDENCE


Correspondence OF the Democrat.
NEAR MoRRILLroN, April ga
unique trial, in which donkey fig
ures as disturbing element! On
Wednesday 28th inst, before Esq.
Robinson Of Morriltoa, Ark was had
q trial OF ownership to diminutive
mule. A man from near Plumer-
vile and man from near Morrillton
figured as the contestants. Some so
witnesses, nearly equally divided,
were in attendance. The Plumer
man seemed to have had prepon
derance of the testimony, and as a
last resort the Morrillton man order
ed up the donkey for the jury to in
vestigate. With remarkable obedi
ence the colored jockey, who had
charge of the mule, literally obeyed
the order. 1t was dark colored di
minutive mule, fell Of subdued mean
ness. 1t was healed for the occasion
and no respecter of courts. The
jockey led it into the court house,
and into the court room in the very
presence of the venerable magistrate.
Never had his Honor seen such a
witness! A scene occurred! The
room being rather small for jack
ass as witness, its legs touched a
bench, and Immediately there occur
red one of the most extraordinary
spectacles that ever was, or will be,
witnessed within the sacred precincts
Of a hall of justice. The mule began
his pantomic display, kicking and
cavorting, he astonished--then dis
mayed, the auditors. The stove cap
was kicked off-the jury slid under
the benches the witnesses took
hurriedly to the "rule"-the lawyers
hurled themselves through the open
windows--the ''Headlighl' reporter
skipped out of the door, and the
"Star" man was seen twinkIing with
receding Highland his Honor, full
OF law and Indignation. lost his wig
The result was, the jury hang" as
it was impossible to decide as to the
merits of a case wherein all law and
evidence were kicked out OF the jury
box by miserable little mule.
