The proceedings OF the county
democratic central committee will be
found in this issue. The delibera-
tions OF the committee and all its ac-
tions were in the utmost harmony
and liberality. A call was made for
township conventions on the 18th OF
June to elect delegates to the county
convention called for the 10Th. THIS
convention is for the purpose Of elect
ing delegates to the state convention.
These township delegates are to be
instructed as to the mode Of nomi.
mating our county officers, whether
by convention or primary election.
Let democrats now bend their efforts
to bring about large, enthusiastic and
harmonious township conventions,
and prepare to select their best men
for delegates. Let democratic shout
ders all along the line be put to the
wheel, and let us all do our duty and
our whole duty. Let duty and fideli-
" be our watchword, and let II
think more Of the common good and
less Of individual preferment. And
moreover let all who pretend to be
democrats be such in spirit and in
truth, and let them come into quar-
tiers and report for duty at once.

tion, ID, and that the great majority
Of his party is with him there Is no
doubt. It may not be out Of place
also to note the fact in this connec-
tion that the man who now stands at
the head Of the democratic party in
Arkansas, our excellent governor,
has given indubitable evidence Of
his loyalty and love Of the laboring
element Of the grand commonwealth
which has honored him BY placing
him in the executive chair of the
state. Gov. Hughes, as will be re-
membered, was at the head OF the
grange organization which nourishcd
in this state few years ago, thus
giving a practical test Of his sympa-
thy, as strong, as he was in earnest
in its expression. And it is further
noteworthy that under all circum
stances and at all times, the rank
and file OF the democratic party in
the state and nation, has always
shown itself to be in the closest
bonds of fellow feeling with the
element which earns its bread by
the sweat of its brow, and why
shouldn't it be, for it is and al
ways has been that very element it.
self The rank and file OF the dem
ocratic party is now and always has
been the common, honest, hardwork
ing yeomanry Of the country. This
is plain naked fact established by
the whole history OF the country
from its foundation till now. This
is the simple explanation of its solid
strength and great hold upon the
masses Of this country. 1t has al
ways been and always will be the
popular expression of democratic
government, because 1t was itself
but the voice of the honest patriotic
masses finding echo in such forms
and regulations as simply to encom-
pass and secure what the people
willed and what they decreed. In
view of these established facts and
history, how foolish it would appear
to give any heed to few selfish In
dividuals who are interested in stir
ing up popular strife and creating
popular distrust and confusion in
order that they may happen upon
fortunate wave to bring them to the
front and thus secure what they 9th
erwise know is impossible.
The Russellville Democrat., 1886-05-05

ANOTHER evidence of the conf
dence which may be reposed IN the
faithfulness and integrity and cour-
age OF our present state officers may
be found In the recent assessment OF
the railroad property in the state, IN
which an increase of $4,09l 800. 81
was made over last year. We do not
know how anybody could ask bet
ter record, nor what any set of men
claiming to be sensible in any degree
could mean BY antagonizing such Of
ficials except simply to serve their
exceedingly envious and selfish ends.
This assessment Of the state officials
brings tile figures of the railroad as
sessnent in Pope county up TO about
$S,170.75 per mile, and up to where
it is getting to look like railroad
property was expected to fair like
any other sort. The state board of
railroad commissioners to make this
assessment under the law consists OF
Governor Hughes, E. B. Moore, sec
rotary of state and Dan. w. Jones,
attorney general. These splendid
officials should have the hearty APP
proval that their faithful discharge
OF duty deserves.

GOOD INVESTMENT.


The Luck of Three Citizens Who
Invested Two Dollars In The
Louisiana State Lottery Draw.
ing and Get Back $50. 900.
Yesterday At noon there entered
the office Of The Louisiana State
Lottery Company, on st. Chs yks
street, air, Ernest ANTI, OF No. 32l
Baronne street, and Mr.. Thomas Nc
Mahon, grocer, at the corner Of Ba-
rome and Felicity streets. The OBJ
ject Of their visit was to collect $l5,
600, or one fifth Of the first cauital
prize Of $4,000 in the drawing Of
last Tuesday. Mr.. ANTI presented a
one fifth ticket, No. 25, 244. and re.
eeiyed from the company check on
tile New Orleans National Bank for
SIS, 000 While this check was be-
ing made out representative Of the
Pieayunc had talk with the vici
tors. Their good luck did not ap.
pear to excite them in the least, and
they spoke OF the matter in a sensi-
BILE manner. Mr.. Mcmahon has been
keeping grocery at the corner Of
Baronne and Felicity streets for Is
years OF more. He has family to
support, and business has been so
dull lately that he was becoming
financially involved. "This unex'
pected fortune" he said, "will set
me on my feet again, and enable me
to straighten out all my affairs salts
factorily." Mr.. ANTI Is well known
and popular young man, an engraver
by trade, and an expert in that line
He resides at No. 32I Baronne street
with his mother and brother, Henry
A. ANTI. Last Monday Mr.. ANTI
purchased for 81 the one-fifth ticket
and Mr.. Mcmahon took part Of the
ticket. Both had been in the habit,
for years past, Of investing in The
Louisiana State Lottery drawing.
MIR. ANTI had won small prizes on
several occasions, but Mr.. Mcmahon
was not so lucky. He is, however,
fully satisfied with the issue OF the
last drawing. These fortunate men
will make good use of their money
and not fritter it away in dissipation
as they are steady and industrious
citizens. Scarcely had Messrs. A1u
and Mcmahon withdrawn than ID

JEFF DAVIS the great conrederat,

JEFF DAVIS the great confederate
chieftain has at last been called
from the retirement in which he has
slept 80 sweetly since the war, ex-
ccpt at rare intervals, and has once
more appeared upon the rostrum to
tell the people once again that the
south had right to secede. His
ntterances, eloquent though they be,
are calculated TO STIR the emotions of
long gone memories, will only serve
for this generation to give side
glance back as If attracted momenta-
rily by side show, then rebcnd their
gaze intently upon the future and its
destinics for this great country.
They may also serve TO stir ripple
Of curiosity and cause men to stop
and exchange casual comment on
the relics Of a quarter OF century
ago, ere they turn their steps for
ward again in the even tenor OF their
way and leave the great relic of a
past age TO revel in his regrets and
feed upon his opinions. This gene
ration is a long. long ways from Mr..
Davis feelings and opinions, his an
imosities and disappointments. Mr..
Davis as man, may be revered and
loved, but his opinions and theories
belong to the past, and are Of no
more use for the present generation
and its purposes and aspirations.

From DeVall's Bluff.

The following taken from the Des

some points of interest in certain
quarters.
EDITORS ClTIzEN:-Since the or.
ganization OF the Agricultural Wheel,
some Of the country newspapers ed
tied by cormorant Office seekers, have
fallen into the practice OF denounc-
ing merchants for getting the best
price obtainsble for goods sold on

tween the newspapers in question
and their rival correspondents. l

chants to any of the articles referred

prised that the merchants Of our
county have made no attempt to ar

am not merchant, and that have
great many friends among the
farmers. In fact l guess I'm about

River Journal in the farming line.

their influence for money while the
man who buys is visited only with
