 ED TIMES. Some time ago you asked the question, 'when did l.. P. Featherston do any farming '" As several newspapers have taken the matter up and asking the same question. l thought that perhaps 1t would be very interesting, so will givo you the desired information, and hope the honest journalists who are so anxious to know, will be equally anxious to impart tho infor- nation to their reeders. Last year l.. F. Featherston and his little boys cultivated thirty acres of corn on hls farm near Forrest City. This fact is well known to his neighbors all around; and such men us John Busic and John De- vasicr--ani men of his stamp--as good as St. FrancIs county can start--will bear witness to the fact above set forth. Now gentlemen, will you be honest enough to pub fish this c. c. WINERY.
 I've have no doubt that the news- papers will copy tho above. In due time we will have something to say regarding this matter. For the present, we give 1t for what it IS worth. Thirty acres well Ed.

We care not who .you select. Go to yodr township nominating conventions and there instruct your delegates for any capable, honest and true democrats and we will support those who receive the nomination with all the force we have. We have no man or set of men to name for the offices. We have no preferences among true democrats. We labor simply for principle, and God helping us, we will succeed in reIega- ting these lifelong politicians and of- nee holders to the private walks of life. The democracy of this county not only invite, put urge all citizens. regardless of the past, who favor a government by and for the people, the greatest good to the greatest number. a free ballot and fair count, and the time-honored principles of democracy, to participate Tn the coventions on the 2sth inst. Can any one ask more :? We want peace, and our grievances are not many. Should the voters of St. Francis sue ceed Tn placing new men in these off ces the democracy of this county will again be reunited, and in harmony and brotherly love, will roll up such dem- ocratic majority as has never before been counted in eastern Arkansas.

ED. TINES: Having learned that a late act of congress consoidates the office of coroner and ranger in St. Francis county, l hereby an- nounce myself 2 standing candidate for the office. It is meet and pro- per that in taking th;s step l should categorically announce my views on the great national questions of the day, in order that my constit- uency may act advisedly in rolling up the usual majority. In the mat ter of politics, l am mild demo- crat of republican tastes-leaning slightly to the "wheeP' and ''inde- pendcnts" and having Q weakness for the down trodden sons of AT riea. By nationality, l am Ger man-Irish- American-dcad against all sumptuary laws, and in favor of a limited prohibition. believe in the early enactment of law to give free whisky to tho Irish, free beer to the Dutch, free lunch to the American and hell to the Chinese. Tn the discharge of my onerous du- lies l shal! bring into ready action the experlence of many hard fought political campaign, and bold ly defy the traducers and slander CTS who would polson the pure air of politics. l need not tell the brave people of St Francis county, who have known me so everlasting long, that possess in an eminent degree all the requisite qualities of a first-class Ranger. l have ranged from the Penobscot to the wild mo rasscs of Barataria Bay; l have watched the sun rise in urid splen- dor from the nights of fChapultepcc, on tho arld plains of Mexico, and eaten soup with assticl< in the rude cabin Of the North Carolina crack CT. l have ranged round the free lunch stands of sixteen American ciues--have paused to watch the gay, gorgeous and giddy butterflies of wealth go by, and then have ranged back to rural scenes and gathered huckleberries and persim- mons with the rustic mad in cal- ico gown. On the question of tte tariff, l must be plaln and explicit. No man, fellow citizens, is equipped for tho ardnous and responsible du- ties of coroner and ranger com bined. unless he has been dumped and proved sound cn the tariff. 1 believe Tn the pulling of freo wool on county court days, and that bro- gan shoes should Do admitted free. l believe in the NEW theory of "free trado and sailors rights" and if elected shall advocate the doctrine regardless of friend or foe. I do not believe in the accepted theory of ghosts, per SC, but l am frank to own that l have seen things about graveyard which l did not understand, and will admit, with Bacon. that "thcre are more things in heaven and bell than are dreamed of Tn our philosophy" I will de- vote the entire profits of the office to establish n newspaper in For rest City-a long-felt want. l can not sec the people nor any body else in person. but trust that my patri- otic motives will Dc appreciated and my services to the country properly rewarded.

that this war is made upon mo for
 a two-fold purpose. Coffey, who
 is a bolter from his own party,
 must receive republican votes to
 be reelected. Fitzpatrick, who, as
 it is understood has. or is about to
 desert hts party, must receive dem- ocratic votes to be reelected, and as he sold out tho senatorial dis trict two years ago, he is now not only willing to sell out the con gressional district, but is doIpg all he can in the interest of the Feath-
 erston faction to that end. A. M. Nicely, who cla1ms to be the organ of tLe republican party. is charged by his own party and his own color as working in the samo harness. If ihe old saying be true-"show me the company you keep and l will tell you who you are"-the charges must certainly be true.
 Absalom tells the people that it can be proven by any number of people that was noted character for mischief. Now 1 am ready to admit that he can prove anything he wants toby men of his ilk. When they could condescend to try to take a mans life, 1 leave 1t 10 thinking people what they would not do, if they could.
 Now will say to the people of this district that there are men in Bolivar, Tenncssee-men who are as high toned, honorable and re- spected as any men in any State all demo crats-to whom 1 wIll re- fer you as to whether CT not I was a noted character for mischief, VIZ: Gen. R. P. Neely, Capt. R. H. Wood Capt. A. T. McNeal, Judge James Fentress, Frank Fentress, Alvin Warren, J. A. Wilson, and many more, if necessary.
 l will say that If Ccffey, Fitzpat- rick and Nicely know the facts in the case. I brand them as no better than midnight assassIns. If they do not know the facts, they ought to post themselves before they try to down a man unjustly, and for their own aggrandizement. l am not disposed to indulge in person. alities, believing, as do, that the reasoning men of Tennessee are willing for the past 10 be buried with the past yet If these men who are anxious to ventilate things wish full unearthing of the whole they can have it. and, so far as am individually concerned, 1 am not only willing, but anxious that It should be done.
 To tho republican party 1 will say that it is for you to judge in whom you should trust-whethcr or not you follow the bidding of men who have resorted to straight out lying for the purpose of elect. ing an enemy to tho republican party, or one who has been at the front in all the hot contests for the last fifteen years, and never fal- tered.

REPUBLICAN PLAN TO CARRY ARK.
 ANSAS.

Judge John A. Williams, one of the republican ates-at-large to the re- publican convention from Arkansas, has been discussing state affairs with a Chicago Tribune reporter. We quote from that journal of the lSth.;
 The Arkansas delegation talk glibly about their chances of carrying that state this fall, but if any of them has a choice in the presidential fight he care fully conceals it. Judge John A. Will Hams talked interestingly about the possibility of a combination that would end the democoatic dynasty in rock-rib- bed Arkansas. They expect to do so through that queerly named organiza- tion known as the "Wheel.n It corres- ponds to the old Granger movement in the north, but lacks the positive and az gressiye opposition to corporations which distinguished the old organiZa- tion in the north. But the Wheelers are men engaged in farming and wage working, just as the Changers were. The organization was formed by farm CTS who were discontented with the po- litical condition of affairs. No profess ional men are admitted into the organ ization. ''There are 75,000 members of the Wheel in Arkansas said Judge Williams. II do not know why they call themselves by that name, but that has nothing to do with the case. They have never run a state ticket, but have elected numerous local and legislative officers. This year they propose 70 widen ther political work. August 5 they will meet at Little Rock and en- dorse the united labor ticket. They will be willing to give us half the elec- torial ticket if we indOrse their candi- dates for state office, and am inclined to think we can make a combination that will carry the state"
 Soi appears reliance is placed on a combination between the republicans, the wheelers and the union labor party. Judge Williams outlines programme that will prove quite formidable-pro- yided members of that queerly named organization known as the Wheel who are democrats will unite with the re- publicans to restore the republican

 Democratic State Central Con m ittee.


 The democratic state central committee met at room No. 10 All lis building, the quarters of the committee, at 10 o'clock Monday, Hon. J, II Harrod presiding. The secretary called the roll, and the committee proceeded at once to business.
 Letters from various portions of the state, calling on ths committee to send speakers to address the people, were read, and It was de- cided 10 comply with their requests.
 Mir. J. E. Williams offered tho following resolution, which was adopted
 Resolved, that Col. J. P. Eagle be, and is hereby requested to meet Hon. c. M. Norwood, at his appointments, from now until such time as the chairman and secretary of this committee shall arrange for a different joint canvass, if deemed advisable.
 Chairman Harrod called Mr.Wil- Hams to the chair and presented the following resolution which was unanimously adopted
 Whereas, In our opinion the progress and development of Ark ansas, and the prosperity of her people demand the continuance of democratic supremacy; and,
 Whereas, This supremacy can very successfully be maintained by the thorough organization of the democratic party thropghou: the state therefore, be it
 Resolved, By the slate central committee, That the democratic voters Tn each township in the state of Arkansas. where clubs are not already organized, are earn estly requested to meet in their re specliyo voting precincts on Satur day the 2Sth day of July, 1888, al 8 o'clock Q. m., and organize dem, ocratic clubs by the election of | president, vicerpresldent and secre. tary, and the enrollment of all names Tn said township that will become members of said club.
 That, Immediately upon each or. ganizatlon, the secretaries of said clubs arc requested to inform the secretary of this state central com. mittee of the formation of such clubs, together with the postofii co address of the secretary, Tn order that campaign literature may be distributed 10 the voters ofthe state
 That all newspapers friendly to the cause of democracy are reques ted to publish these resolutions to the people and urge compliance herewith, and, in counties where no democratic papers are publish. ed, the chairman of the democratic county central committees arc re. quested to communicate these res olutions to the democratic voters of their counties.

party to power. The republican mem- bers of the wheel will join heartily m such movement, and so doubtless will few political wheelers, who, while claiming to be democrats have for years signalized their devotion to the party by labosing to defeat it's candidates for office.
 We call attention to Judge Williams utterances as further proof of what the Gazette has so often shown, that all roads leading from the democracy lead to the republican party. There is noth- ing in the union labor movement now led by Mir. Norwood as candidate for governor. Left to itself 1t cannot stand alone. Its reliance for strength is nee essarily on the republican vote. which comprises the only real opposition to democracy. If the republicans make common cause with MT. Norwood's po- litical odds and ends it will be through belief that they can thus secure re- turn to power in the state. Judge Will Hams says the political wheelers are willing this year to give the republi- cans one-half of the electorial ticket as a reward for endorsing their candi- dates for state officers" In his opinion a combination can thus be made that will carry the state.D
 For the present purposes the political wheelers and the union labor element may be counted as one and the same thing. And it is evident the republican leaders have been assured that the vote of the agricultural wheelers, most of whom are democrats, can be delivered as part of the programme to restore the party of Clayton and Williams to power in Arkansas. That is certainty Judge Williams understanding, and he is one of it's ablest leaders.
 What do the democrats who belong to the wheel, understanding it to be purely an agricultural, non-partisan organization, think of this scheme to reconstruct the fortunes of the repubii- can party of Arkatsas by trading off their votes? That is exactly what it means. Gazette, June 2l.

 Gentlemen 1 feel in duty bound to you, as well as to all sufferers by rheu- matism, to write you my experience with this terrible disease, and the use of Swift's Specific, hoping that these words will be beneficial to all who suffer as 1 did. About six weeks ago while at business, 1 was suddenly attacked with excruciating pains in my feet, knees and hands. So severe was the attack that 1 took to my bed iinmedi- ately, and in two or three days my joints were swollen to almost double their natural size, and sleep was driven from me. After suffering the most ex- cruciating pain for week, using lini- ments and various other remedies, a friend who sympathized with my help less condition, said to me
 Why don't you get Swift's Specific and use it ? l will guarantee a cure, and if it does not, the medicine shall cost you nothing"
 1 at once secured the $, and after using it the first day, had a quiet night and refreshing sleep. In week l felt greatly benefited. In three weeks could sit up and walk about the room, and after using six bottles l was out and able to go to business. Since then 1 have been regularly at my post of duty, and stand on my feet from nine to ten hours day, and am entirely free from pain. These are the plain and simple facts in my case, and 1 will cheerfully answer all inquiries relative thereto, either in person or by mail.

 The insinuation, whether meant or not. is as false as satan. The New Era should have said that the ring was di- yided on the presidential question, and had not given instructions yet as to which ticket they would support.
