A GOOD ONE
Booming Events Cast Their
 Shadows Refofe"-A Dream.

As the editor of this paper lay in quiet repose. on the night of the Sth inst. unconscious of earth's ills and | free from routine work-in that hap ! py land of nod. whence no delinquents | oppress the mind and bill collectors trouhleth not--a most pleasant and refreshing vision occupied our dor mant mind. Being awaked by our ..better half" we straightway nn- folded to her our dream. As it Is not unintercsting and tells of Demo cratic victories. Uo he won this year). we give it in full. to our read. CTS. as it was revealed to us, except ing we withhold names as follows:
 "A certain prominent and well-to-do Dcm- ocrat, possessing plenty of dignity and well kept gray beard,-an old and honored citizen of Nevada county,-who once rep resented his section in the Legislature when it was part of IIempstead county, now living about 22 miles south of Prescott. be- fore the ides oi November. 1888. gave big barbecue and feast, by special invitation bringing together at his country home be- tween 300 and l 900 friends and prominent Democrats of the county. About noon of the day appointed, after most of the guests had arrived and secured seats in an oak grove in front of the residence, the host in- yited speakers into J stand. and called for order. Said he: Early in the year purposed in my heart and pledged unto myself, thnt in case Democracy was triumphant, in Ma tionn, State and county elections this fall, l would give jollitication at my house, and I can say with full and proud heart, this meeting to-day, is the crowning event otmy life. Thank God the government all round IS in safe hands, and trust and believe Will so remain. But ns there are better speakers present. and must look after other matters for your entertainment, l will dcsist, Rnd leave the proceedings in charge of the sdi- tor of our worthy party organ, MT. - The chairman congratulated his hearers and fellow workers, and mankind in general, but as he was not expected to make n speech rst introduced the "Silvcr tongucd orator oi Southwest Arkansas" Il brother Baptist of our host. and church leader in the State,who said "Felow citizens, ladies and gentle men: can't express to you in words the happiness it affords me to be present on this occasion--in fact l am almost too full for uttcrauce. How good il is for brethren to dwell together in unity:' this state of things might say. now exist ill our prosperous, fertile county, for l am persuaded green : backism, U. L. ism, and soreheadism, ls virtually dead here, and Democracy, grand old ship of State, is once more solid, as It should be, especially in our bright, fair Southland, This thought affords me as much pleasure almost as our National and State victories, which were more easily won. (space forbids giving this magnificent speech in full.l Other speakers commanded close attention, among them the studiouS and en- ergetic, rising young statesman, who had again been called, by rousipg majority, to represent us in Congress. The talk ot the closing speaker. the wise Democratic coun- seor of the county. (who, notwithstanding he had been greatly bothered over forget ting to bring his pipe with him from Pres colt, and had been using cigars set up by the boy>,) WAS calm and diSpassionatc, full ot good cheer, and sound alvcc for the flu turc. The host then appeared and announc- ed dinner, and ss he accompanied the speak CTS, who should turn up but another editor. and of the famous defeated Grcenback, '. L. Party, etc, paper of Pr. who walked up with hanging head as usual, remnrkin@- Well, friend E -, though not an invited rucst,I thought rtl come anvhow,as many of my political friends years ago are here,and you would not turn me away" In res ponsc the host replied 'Why. no, friend A certainly not-am glad to see you, and ! hope you have seen the error of your way, and will now ever remain true to your for m CT and still friends All then walked on chatting in friendly way, (the new recruit, seemingly well pleased with the turn affairs had tak land par,ook of bouhteous repast, consisting of all kind, of barbecued meats, and many other go d things
 So ended the dream-a bona iidc dream.
 To work. Democrats. and bring about the victories above described. The vision is a good omen, but lets not lie idly waiting and hoping. Or ganize thoroughly, by forming clubs, and in every legitimate way, arous- ing enthusiasm. to gain lost ground Oyereonhdence and want of interest lost Us the election in this county, in 1886. Let every Democrat put his shoulder to the wheel. with deter imitation to win, and the victory will be ours.
