As I feel very calm and my mind is unrufed and am thoroughly in q good humor, 1 thought it . good time to write few words in answer to my friend Billy" who is q good man and we'll liked by all his neighbors as a citizen and an officer. We claim however, that he is falible just like the res, of us, and just as liable to go wrong. Still he is a good fellow and we should be sorry to sec him defeated for justice the peace. There is principle involved, however, and we cannot as democrats. go beyond what wo think is right and just. We have no harsh words for Billy" but will just say that if he runs on the independent ticket, he will be handsomely defeated. Old Griggs township is largely demo- cratic in politics and will do all in her power to lawfully down all independents. Public office is a public trust" and we are gong to fill all ofthem with good democrats. They are the friends to tho work ing man.

Two Bottles Cure Rheumatism

BoUGHToN, ARK, June 4, '87.
 I cheerfully state the following facts in regard to the use of your medicine in my family. My little son, l4 years of age, suffered from an acute attack of rheumatism, caused by undue exposure and chilling of the blood. I heard yonr remedy highly recommended, and pur- chased one bottle of Moncrief X Bro. Prescott Ark. In about one month af- ter using this bottle, he became so much better that I bought the second bottle, which is now being used, and my son is nearly well, and I think by removing him to a cooler summer climate (which I will dol and continuing it's use, per feet cure will be effected. 1 consider B E E most excellent blood purifier.

IRVING COLLEGE.

Irving College, Sept. 5th, 1885,
Our little village is unusually quiet
this week. Now and then a fellow
will suddenly become very rich and
happy, living for time in all the
ease and affiuence the most fiighty
imagination could picture, and then
as suddenly becomes awakened to
the fact that he is not only as poor as
he ever was, if not poorer, but that
he feels % per cent worse than he
ever felt. Such catastropheS are not
very uncommon where there is a
good fruit crop.
The recent excessive rains have
not only prevented the gathering of
fodder, but has actually inundated
much of the corn that was PROSTATE
on the ground from the storm. The
river has been past fording for several
days.
Mr.. Will Martin, the Nimrod of
this neck of the woods, while out
hunting the other day, killed a fish
hawk that measured 5 #. 3 inches
from tip to tip.
Quite a large number of our citi-
zens went to McMinnville last Mon
day to see the new officers "take
their seats" We saw quite num-
Der of men perfectly willing to go on
the bonds of the defeated candidates.
Mrs: Carol Parks has been very
sick for a few days, but we are glad
to know she is convalescing now.
