New Announcements.

Mr.. Joe Petty's announcement for re-
election to the office of county treasur'
err appears in to-dav's paper. Mr.. Pet
ty is a trustworthy and reliable gentle
man, and has faithfully and conscien-
tiously discharged the duties of the Of
flee and desires the compliment of re-
election.
Hon. w. j.. Sibley is announced to-
day az candidate for Representative.
He served Pope county most acceptably
in the last legislature and his desire to
succeed himself is most laudable am
bition. He is a gentleman Of sound
judgment, keen perception, conserva-
tive in his views, and in full sympathy
with every enterprise that is calculated
to rebound to the good of the greatest
number. He submits his claims to his
democratic friends and will abide their
verdict in the primaries.
In this issue Mr.. Robt. Chasteen, Of
this place, is announced as candidate
for county treasurer. Mr.. Chasteen is
young man we'll known, well quail
fled, upright and exemplary in all his
habits. He has been connected with
the establishment of Capt. X. j. Wilson
for term of years, during three of
of which he served in the capacity of
book keeper to the eminent satisfaction
of his employer. He Is scrupulously
honest, attentive to business and If
ominated and elected will make q
faithful official.
The announcement of Capt. w. NJ.
Peeler appears in to-day's paper. He
is a candidate for treasurer of this
county and submits his claims to the
action of the democratic party. In adj
dition to being a most excellent and
worthy gentleman, it can be said of him
that he has been for several years the
trusted and confidential employe OF
Harkey & Bro. and custodian of trust
funds of various corporations and So
cieties, in every position he has given
eminent satisfaction and discharged
his duties with scrupulous exactness
and honesty. IL elected he will make
a trustworthy officer.
We place before our readers to-day
the announcement of Judge j. L. Bull
lock as candidate for reelection.
He is known in every township in the
county, known to be a true, unswerv-
ing democrat, competent, worthy and
in every way well qualified. In the
discharge of his duties as county judge
the past two years he has made a rec
ord which reflects not only credit and
honor to himself, but will compare ia
vorably with that of any official who
has preceded him in that Office. If
nominated and elected again the past
is but an index of what the future will
be-a faithful and conscientious per-
Torrance of duty.

The will of w. w. Corcoran, the
philanthropist, who died at Washing
ton, d. c., a short time ago, has been
received for record in the clerks office
of this county Many years ago Mr..
Corcoran was the purchaser at tax
sale Of several tracts of land In this
county, hence the above action by his
legatees. The instrument is quite vol
luminous and bequeaths millions of dol
lars worth of property.
One day last week Jap Mathews,
the alleged murderer of young Barnes,
confined in Dover Jail, attempted to
commit suicide by butting his head
against the prison wall. A painful
scalp wound was the result. Whether
the act was prompted by remorse of
conscience or fear of an avenging pow
er is not known. There Is little doubt
now that Mathews killed Barnes
through mistake for Williams.
Chairman NJ. Ii. Buchanan has
called a meeting of the Pope County
Democratic Central Committee at this
place on Wednesday, April 4th, at l
O'Clock p. M, for the purpose of fixing
the time for holding the county con-
vention and for the transaction OF
such other business as may be sug-
gested. The various township commit
teemen are requested to remember the
date and be on hand promptly.
beginning with the first issue In
April we will take subscriptions to the
DEMOCRAT for the campaign, --county
and state, congressional and presiden-
tial covering period of seven and ono.

exceptionally liberal offer and should
induce every head Of q family In the
county to take the paper and keep up

To the Voters OF the Town OF Rus

To the Voters OF the Town OF Rus
sellville:
When the town council made an
Appropriation OF town revenue to as
sist in building the courthouse, they
as we'll as the bondsmen, believed
they were complying with the wish
es OF q majority of the people of the
town. And when dissatisfaction
was manifested at the action of the
council by some, the bondsmsn made
proposition to those who PROGRESSED
to be aggrieved at the action of the
council, to call mass meeting OF
the citizens and tax pay ers of the
town and submit the matter to the
people in mass meeting as to wheth
er the money appropriated should be
used in building the courthouse or
be refunded into the town treasury.
But this proposition was rejected.
those opposing the appropriation re
fusing to submit the matter TO the
people in mass meeting.
From the petition published in
this paper you see that other par
ties, citizens and taxpayers of the
town, who had taken no active part
either way, desiring to get the mat
ter amicably settled, proposed to the
bondsmen, and to those opposing the
appropriation, to submit the matter
to vote of the people at the elect
ion TO be held on the Sd day OF
April, 1888. This proposition the
bondsmen promptly accepted and
pledged themselves to abide the will
of amajority of the voters as express
ed IN said election, but the opposi-
ton rejected this proposition as they
did the other.
Now, the bondsmen are democrat.
ic enough to submit to the will Of a
majority, and we hereby request that
the voters in the municipal election
to be holden April Sd, 1888, vote on
said question; that those favoring
the appropriation put on their ticket
the words "For Appropriation" and
those opposing, the words against
Appropriation. And we hereby
pledge ourselves that if a majority
vote against appropriation, we will
refund the money appropriated by
the council, and received by us, into
the town treasury without any fur
Their litigation, and will moreover
pay all costs that have accrued
whether legal or illegal.
Respectfully submitted.

The municipal election next Tues

every citizen to select the best man

will for his election. Let IL not be said
that Russellville has taken backward
