Correspondence of the Deulocrat.

Correspondence of the Democrat.
 After looking over this country from Red River to Paris, from Paris to Dallas, from Dallas to Corsicanna and from there to Waco, we find that our Pope county stories are over drawn. Nine out of ten of the men that leave Pope county would, if they were 10 apply the money it costs them to get to Texas on their homes there, would be gathers We find that the average crop over this scope one half bale to the acre, and lt must be picked out as soon as it opens. You cannot wait until it gets cool, when it rains it gets so muddy you cannot get around Wood four it from $4. 90 to $6 per cord During the summer you haul your water from one to six miles. The only advantage you have is you can cultivate about two acres here to one in Pope county.
 Times dull everywhere we have been.

Mass Meeting.

On Monday evening Jan. 24th, 1S- SS, at the courthouse in Russellyllle, the democrats of Illinois, and adja- cent townships, assembled in mass meeting for the purpose of organlz ing a democratic club and consider ing the bill now before congress known as the "Bair bill" On mo- tion Judge J. T. Bullock was elected chairman, and NJ. H. Baird, Secty The chairman stated the object of the meeting to be as above stated, and Judge R. B. Wilson was called and explained the said "Blalr blll" and the probable results of it's adop tion and declared himselfopposed to it. The following gentlemen were called, to wit: Co.,. D. B. Granger, Lawrence Russell, R. J. Wilson and l.. w. Davis, each responding in ap- proprlate remarks touching upon the bill and claiming that the adoption of the same was one mighty leap to ward centralizatlon, and the utter destruction of state rights, and con- trary to every princile of republican institutions and hence as democrats in favor of free government each declared himself opposed to the bull. On motion the following committee was appointed, viz, R. B. Wilson, E F. lobe and M. H. Baird, to drart and present resolutions expressive of the sense of this meeting in regard to said bill. The commltte reported the following, viz:
 Be it Resolved; 1st: That we re. gard the bill now pending before the senate of the U. $. known as the BIar Educational Bill as the most pernicious in character of any legis lation eyer had or attempted in the history Of our country. That if it should become law it would result in the continuance of the high and oppressive taxes, and still more to be deplored, would tend to the complete subversion of the principles of State sovereignty, dwarf the manhood of our American people and convert our government from that of re public founded on the principles of democracy toone of complete central ization, as despotic as any that ever oppressed the people of the old world.
 Resolved, 2d: That we earnestly request our representatives in both houses of congress to use all honora' ble means to prevent said bill be- coming law.
 R B. WILSON.
 NJ. H. BAIRD. B. F. LOBE.
 Committee.
 Which on motion was adopted by unanimous vote. The RUSSELL VILE DEMOCRAT was requested to publish the proceedings of said meeting. The meeting then ad- journed to meet again at same place on Friday evening, Feb. 3, 1888.
