Legislative nominees Of the party, ii elected,
to vote for the return OF IJham G.. Harris
TO the Senate, and, not content with this,
directed them TO go into caucus for sena-
tor and TO stand by the action Of that eau
Gus. Now, the question whether the
Democrats Of Shelby county were or were
not in favor Of the return OF Senator Harris
was not raised at the primaries, but II is
an easily dcmonstrablo fact that n very
large number, ii not majority, Of
the Democrats Of the county are OPP

Gratis Of the county that they might

victory for women can only be appreciated when
we know that the Agricultural Wheel is a secret
society of farmers, who have organized themselves
for mutual protection against the attempts Of Or
gained capital to control legislation in it's own in
terest. The order is said to exist in eight states
to have originated in Arkansas, where there are
ninety thousand members, and where it is this
year, under the banner Of the United Labor party,
disputing with the dominant party for the control
of the state
When such an order, composed of farmers who
have ever been the most conservative element of
society, move of their own free will and accord
and allow to their wives mothers and daughters
equal rights and privileges in the order with them
selves, who can doubt the approach of great re-
form in the near future 1t may not mean in the
immediate future the granting to them unlimited
suffrage, but it does mean an equal start in the
race of life SO far as equal opportunities in bust
ness, equal pay and equal business facilities are
concerned AS the prisoner doomed to solitary
confinement in dungeon would view with I'M
bounded delight the privilege of being allowed to
10y Gods glorious sunlight and the companion
ship of his fellow man, so will women appreciate
every step taken up the ladder of life which leads
to her ultimate relief from the thraldom which now
surrounds her. All honor to the Wheel! We bid
you God speed our sisters Continue to think,
work and act, and success is assured, for 'swho
would be free, themselves must strike the blow"

glad he is alive. The rosy watermelon and the
melodous mosquito suffer not, but the butter cries
out in its unctious helplessness and the house-fy
leans up against the family mirror and expires he
has come and gone even unto the third and fourth
generation-and the mosquito sings requiem
over his remains. Pilgrims in search of breezes
turn toward the refreshing north, or flee as birds
to the mountain, and the houses, with closed shut
tiers and barred entrance, take on peculiarly
naughty and exclusive air that says more plainly
than words, ''Not at home!" Hope, that springs
eternal fans the spark of life in the breast of
nature and humanity; and whilst the cotton grows,
she bids it exist and wait.

OUR WHEELER SISTERS.

IL is said that "straws show the way the wind
blows" and if the motion of the gentle zephyr
can be known by the action of straw, the move
ment Of great bodies must portend the advance of
hurricane or cyclone. So it is with great re-
forms. Generally, they advance with the motion
of the snail, but as now in our day Of railroads and
telegraphs the record of all former advancement
has been broken, so it is with the movement for
the amelioration Of woman, which seems now to be
taking gallop.
During the meeting of the State Agricultural
Wheel in Little Rock, last week, they adopted
resolution admitting women into the order on
equal terms with men. The magnitude of this
