PECULIAR IDEAS OF BUsINEss.-Some
people have very peculiar ideas of bust
ness They do not understand that news
paper is conducted as a matter of business
for the money there is in it-as much so
as store or anything else. They seem to
think it is published simply for the purpose
of airing the editors opinions, and the ac-
commodaticI, of those who may want q
'.free puff in the paper" whenever they
think it will pay them to advertise them
selves or their business in this way. They
would nes think of going into mans store
and asking him to gioe them dollars
worth Of sugar, or coffee, or meat, yet they
do not hesitate to ask and expect the pub
Usher of a newspaper to give them dollars
upon dollars worth of work and space,
| with never a care or thought apparently
that his columns constitute his stock in
trade-his meat and bread. No man has a
right to expect any more of a newspaper
| man than he would of any other business
man as GIFT What ever benefit person
| expects 20 derive from the use of the news
paper columns, he ought to he willing to
| pay for. Ii it does not pay to advertise,
| then why ask for a puff in the news

Obituary

Died, William Baird, at the residence of his son-in-law, D. D. Davenport, in Russellville, on Sunday Jan 29, 1888 being seventy one years, six months and seven days old.
 He was born in the State of Tennes- see in the year 1916; removed, with his fathers family, when young, to the State of Alabama. There he was married to Christian A. Campbell. who survives him. In the year 1869, he with his family, consisting of his wife and eight children, removed tos Pope county, Ark, where he lived until his death. During his last illness, which was but few days, he expressed him. self as being ready for the departure which he felt was rapidly approaching, as he appeared from the first of his ill., ness to be satisfied that the messenger death, had made the summons to come away from the troubles of this life. In his last hours he was surrounded by his old companion, his sons, NJ. H. Baird, G. w. Baird and w. A. Baird and his daughters, Mrs. Davenport and Mrs. Emerson--his other children, J. N. Baird, J. D. Baird and Mrs. May Ewton being in the State of Texas. On Monday Jan, 30, the remains were followed by his children and friends to the Russellville cemetery, where the funeral services were conducted by Rev. c. NJ. Love, and he was laid to rest until the trumpet of god shall call him up.
 They are going, slowly going,
 One by one they disappear;
 One by on we'll join their number,
 When our pilgrimage is o'er.

The town council on last Friday night appropriated 5000 to aid in the completion of the courthouse. This was considered by the aldermen as the most equitable way of laying part of the burden of the building upon the taxpayers of the town. A precedent for their action was had in past appro- priations for the public school build- ing, the improvement of the public road in the northern part of the coun- ty, and in the furtherance of other en- terprises, all tending to the advance ment and upbuilding of the town. In all these appropriations the people &C., Quiesced with reasonable unanimitv, but in the last one such is not the case, a fact the DEMOCRAT is 10th to chrOni- cle.
