The Russellville Democrat. [volume] (Russellville, Ark.) 1875-1898, 1888-03-15

A widow lady with several child
rem were found in town last week in
very needy circumstances. A little in
yestigation by the county judge devel-
oped the fact that they were recently
from Ozark where money had been
raised TO send them here. Rather
than allow them to become burden
upon this community money was rails
ed to send them back. They claimed
TO have friends in Franklin county.
While. Russellville is ever ready TO
help tie deserving poor, we feel that
other towns should maintain their un-
fortunates and not ship them off TO en-
cumber others because they happen to
be noted for their charity.
-Messrs. Smith & Brown are erect
ing an addition of 24x40 two stories
high to their machine shop, for their
foundry business. Their superintend-
ent, Mr.. Shaw, of Water Valley, Miss,
is an experienced foundry man and

nv OF the new building will be used ex-
clusively for pattern making, and when
we say that here any kind or character
of moulding that is made In Little
Rock can be duplicated, an idea Of the

BIG PEACHES.

Mrs. Conover has the thanks OF
this Office for some very large and
luscious peaches. One measured ten
inches around.
BY the way, what will not a dem
ocrat do to beat the record of a Tip
pecanoe peach? 1t is said that the
peach expert or "fruit editor of the
great moral teacher" (of Statesman
-ship?) of Salem is the victim of a
langhable, practical joke. When
one of the extra large peaches for
which Salem is becoming so noted,
was placed before hisaduiring gaze
no r"shod into print with its meas
urement, and had it named "Tippe-
canOe.n A well known banking
man of the democratic persuasion
probably looked across the street
about that time. Not long after
another monster peach was placed
upon the fruit editors table, and
duly measured and the astonishing
record published to the world. 1t
however escaped the watchful eyes
of the expert that a couple Of peaches
had been adroitly put under what
to be but one peach skin.
Nor was any sarcasm detected in
the name assigned the fruit of eX-
taordinary dimensions "Tyler,

Our high tariff policy would be
more satisfactory and effective If 1t
excluded the pauper class of Euro
-pean wOrlImen from our shores,
.as well as the products Of foreign
workshops. As our protective sys-
tenn now works, the manufacturer
has the advantage over his foreign
rival In the tax levied on the latter's
goods when sent TO our ports, while
foreign laborers flock here in every
passenger ship, to offer their services
at price inadequate to support II
home workman. This is shown in
the dcsertion of the woolen and
cotton mills Of the Eastern States
by American operatives. The price
of labor is brought down so low in
those establishments that home

THE STATE SCHOOLS.


Their Bearing on the Material Welfare of
the People.
10 ne Editor Of ne IAte10aeI.
sR:-A thought has occurred to me In
connection with the proposed Immigra-
tion Convention TO be held in your city
next week. While we are seeking to de.
velop our natural wealth, and striving to
show the many inducements our State
offers to settlers, will itnot be well to make
note Of our excellent school system and
the spirit OF intellectual improvement
abroad in our midst2 Possibly can illus
trate my point by brief narrative.
Some years ago two gentlemen. repre-
sentinR capital Of about $4,000, came
into this State seeking q location for Q
manufacturing establishment, which they
proposed 10 erect and put into operation.
In one Of our towns they found the sd
vantsges and conditions suitable for their
business; but when they saw the school
building OF the place, and learned the
character Of the school which was in ses-
sion but three months each year, one
said: John, We can't afford to bring our
children here" The result was that they
located in an adjoining State which then
offered better educational facilities.
scarcely think this was fair judg.
ment on our educational work, even at
that day, as that town was not so pro-
gIessivs as mRuy Others near by, but II
shows what an influence good schools
have upon our material prosperity. Since
that time our schools, all over the State,
have made great advancement. While
many Of them are not so good as they
should be, still they will compare favorR-
bly, with those OF other States, and we can
point with pride to what haa already
been accomplished, and look forward for
still better results, Just here let me say
that our minimum school term should be,
in my opinion, not less than SIX months.
Anothsr thing: was pleased 10 note
that at least one county In our State
(Rltchis) prides itself on is roads, surely
something OF which to be proud. From
the time Of the great Appian Way Of the
Romans until the present, good thorough.
fares have characterized all great nations.
Lat us have good schools and good
country roads, and their influence will not

tiles, but they will actually bring to US
the railroads, the coke ovens, the manu-
factories, the improved machinery on
lRrm and in Bhop, the highly cultivated
farm, the larger barn, the more pleasant
home surroundings, and all the conven.
fences and amenities that tend to make
happy, prosperous people.
Very respectfully.
