CORRESPONDENCE

Correspondence Of the Democrat
OAK GROVE, April 8, 1S66.-We
have been having some very unfavor
able weather the last few days, but
it is moderating at present, and we
hope for some pretty weather.
Some Of our most enterprising farm
ers are done planting corn, others
are waiting for the moon to get right.
49,. Cotton seed are scarce, but we
think the acreage viii. be large. farm
ers have not yet learned that they
can live without large crop OF cot
ton. Ii our farmers could only get
out OF debt, plant less cotton and
more corn, SOW more oats, fertilize
tEeir land, they would soon find
themselves on the highway to pros
perity. But some still support the
idea that there is no money in any
thing but cotton and that they can
not live withontit, consequently they
plant cotton almost exclusively, sell
IL at low price and buy corn at rs
Cts or more per bushel, can't raise
hogs because they have no corn to
feed them, have to buy meat and all
has to be paid for out OF the cotton
crop, and if it falls short al is shot.
We farmers should pay more atten-
ton to stock raising, plant rota-
ton Of crops, fertiize our old worn
ont hill sides, and then our country
will be a prosperous one, our schools
will flourish and everything will
move on. We will then have more
schools and better ones. :. We have
Sabbath school q. this place now,
prayer meeting every Sunday eve
ming and preaching every third Sun
day. We learn that Prof Keith
win IN short time take up school
at Appleton, he will find that com
munity to be an excellent one :. 4.

Report of the Commissioners oil
County Accounts.

To the Hon. Geo. s. Cunningham,
Judge Of the circuit court of Pope
county, Ark:
The undersigned, your board of
commissioners of county accounts
beg leave to submit the report follow
ing:
The commissioners met as the law
directs at the county seat on Mon
day, three weeks next preceding the
meeting Of the April term OF the cir
cult court, the same being the 18th
day of March, 1886, and were duly
sworn in and entered upon the dis
charge OF their duties,and continued
the same from day to day until the
Sd day OF April, 1886. We have
made such investigation of county
official accounts 40 we could with the
facts and testimony at hand, aud
such an investigation as to leave our
minds clear as to general results.
To commence with: With the light
before US we found the account Of
Judge A. J. Bayliss, whose term of
Office covered many years of honor
able and honest administration,
lacking the sum OF $3.50 to balance,
which we suppose resulted from u
want OF final settlement which we do
not find was ever made with the
county court. On his account we
find credit Of $39. &c, and our reckon
ing OF tax on clerks official seals
from his last settlement to the end
of his term amounted to $4,000, and
original writs and executions SIS,
making O fetal Of $3.50; deducting
the credit--$39.60, leayes the balance
above indicated OF $3.50.
Passing to the administration Of
w. j. Reynolds from Nov. 1880 to
Nov. 1882 we find In his account,
error in clerks official seals, deeds,
mortgages recorded and writs and
executions issued, $1770, warrant
drawn, but not charged by what
seems to be reasonable oversight
$l0s.55, making total of $l2325
due by him to the county, which was
promptly settled into the treasury
upon the matter being brought to
his attention.
In regard to the treasurer's office
We found nothing requiring special
mention until we came down to the
present officer in that position. The
former treasurers being covered by
settlements made either on county
clerks books, or to be found on coun.
~ records.
In the case Of x-sherif Il. b.
Higgins we found due by him $66.55
on the scsre OF back taxes on lands
enormously forfeited which had not
been charged to him on his account
and which he at once settled with
the proper officers, and the amount
balanced.
We have tried to make careful
investigation OF the present officials
Sheriff Quinn's accounts are square,
except such as depend upon future
settlements for completion. We find
that his settlements have all come
up at the time required by law ex-
cept in one or two instances. We
nnd one item which stands as a bal
ance on his account OF $6S. Wei
think this item was wrongfully trans.
ferred to him from ex-sherin Higgins
by the county court This account
arose out OF conviction in the cir
cult court during Hogin's term OF
office. and the party convicted was
hired aud note taken by him MS
sheriff. Legal process was after
wards rcsorted to to make this mon

the answer completely annihilates
the argument Of the address, and,

merous "small guns,' it remains to
thinking men, unanswerable. As .

just such political demagogues -

isfaction among laboring men and
mechanics. Away with this politi.
cal clap trap! / have observed the
republican party and that scheming
tact which has always made it .
formidable opponent to honest rule

see through an argument that has
the credit Of that party and its re-as-
tendency to political power as the
incentive to action. "B. ]. E." does
not need any assistance in handling
