 Normal School.
DARDANELLE, June 23,

DARDANELLE, June 23.
 The Teachers association held it's last days session Friday, on Mount Nebo. The most important business transacted was the changing of the location of the State Normal School from Mount Petit Jean to Mount Nebo, The friends of Mount Petit Jean made a gallant fight to sustain the action of the committee, but the sentiment of the association was overwhelmingly agalnst them. Prof James Jordan, of Pine Bluff, was elected president and Prof J. II. Shinn, of Little Rock, secretary for the ensuing year. No place was agreed upon for the next annual meeting of the association, but it will be held somewhere be tween Little Rock and Texarkana. The teachers all leave this morning for their various homes, carrying with them the best wishes of all uu. people.

PoTTs STATION, Ark, June 26


 The people are all quiet here.
 We have been having great deal of rain for the last two or three weeks, but the farmers are all up with their crops, which look very 1atLtering.
 Mrs. H. L. Rayburn IS in the Sta tion this week, visiting relatives and friends.
 Prof. James Fry, of Dover, was in this part of tue county few days ago, seeing after uniting the differ ent school districts in the county on one serIes of text books. 1 think a uniform series of text books are need ed worse than almost anything else, and yet It is neglected more than anything of equal importance.
 The people in these parts are get ting to be little polite. MT. J. T. Wharton made Q public speech to the Union Labor party here last Sat urday. At night he spoke to the col ored men below here two or three miles. Some of the darkeys were dissatisfied with Mir. Wharton's want. ing to organize them just in time to get their votes, and replied to him.

What a Time

People formerly had, trying to swallow the old-fashioned pill with its film of magnesia vainly disguising its bitter ness and what contrast to Ayers Pills, that have been well called med icaled sugar-plums" - the only fear be- ing that patients may be tempted into taking too many at dose. But the directions are plain and should be strictly followed.
 J. T. Teller, NJ. D., of Chittenango, N. r., expresses exactly what hundreds have written at greater length. He says: Ayers Cathartic Pills are highly appreciated. They are perfect in form and coating, and their effects are all that the most careful physician could desire. They have supplanted all the Pills formerly popular here, and think it must be long before any other can be made that will at all compare with them. Those who buy your pills get full value for their money"
 "Safe, pleasant, and certain in their action," is the concise testimony of Dr. George E. Walker, of Martins vile, Virginia.
 Ayers Pills outsell all similar prep arations. The public having once used them, will have no others" ."- Berry, venable & Collier, Atlanta, Ga.

DardaneIle's Railroad Boom

Dardanelle Post: The air has been surcharged this week with protoplas- mic railroads, one of which lacked on- ly few sunshiny days to make 1t de- velop into living, smoking, puffing railroad, capable of running from Dar- danslle to Fort Smith in three hours, and return after supper. But the road has not yet materialized. neither has It in any wise diminuendoed. That it re- mains in statu quo is the best possible indication that 1t still lives and will yet move and hump itself if the people the dear people, will only realize that men fool away their time only for mon- ey or it's equivalent.

Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
WATERFOWL, Oak, Dec. 21.-Tbere
has been more activity in real estate tho
last two months inthe city than for the
ten months previous. The prospects
for statehood, aided by the price of
wheat, have given an:impetus to real. es-
tate transfers which has not been felt
before for several years. The prices of
land are steadily advancing, and city
property is daily being sold to Eastern
investors. The fact. that WATERFOWL
has entered the race for the capital of
South ID lkota, with an energetic com
mittee at work with excellent chances
of succeeding, and with the building of
the WATERFOWL, Aberdeen & Bismarck
railroad, makes it a very desirable town
for capitalists to invest their money with
a certainty OF rapid increase.
The building season just closed shows
that WatertOwn has erected seven solid
business blocks, ranging in value from
$1,000 to $4,000 each, and fully seventy
five residences, and present prospects
indicate that next year will see the
largest building boom the city has ever
had. Among the buildings contem-
plated is large city hall, and whole
sale firm will erect large block. The
Northwestern railroad has just sold
tract of land south of the court house,
which has been out of the market, to

terms for ten or twelve years. Last
February or April, after several In
diana Republicans. among them Chair
man Huston and Secretary Mich
ener, had visited Washington in COM
pany with Col. New, Secretary of State
Griffin, Mai. McLain, and probably
three or four others, and it was deter
mined that all efforts should be bent
toward the nomination of Gen. Harri-
son, | wrote letter to Gov. Mellette
and asked him what could be dohe for
our candidate in Dakota. In his reply
the governor stated that he was for
Harrison first, last and all the time, al
though he was personal friend and ad-
mirer of Judge Gresham. He said that
there was very pronounced following
in favor of Judge Gresham in the terri
tory, yet he believed that Gen. Harrison
was the most available candidate, and
that the logic OF the situation pointed
towards his nomination. He stated fur
ther that Dakota being made of intelli-
gent and progressive citizens from al
most every state in the Union, each of
the aspirants had some friends there.
He especially mentioned
ALLISON AND SHERMAN.
In this letter Gov. Mellette asked
what he could do to promote the nomi-
nation of Gen. Harrison. either sent
the letter or the substance of it to one
of the gentlemen who became MEM
Der of the state central committee, and
upon it letters were sent not only to
Gov. Mellette, but to various prominent
Republicans throughout Dakota, an
nouneing that the friends of Gen. Har-
rison had determined to push him for
the nomination, aud asking their sup
port. l know that Gov. Mellette wrote
large number of letters to his friends
IN the territory in favor of Gen. Harri-
son, and that he also wrote many of his
friends in Indiana, where he lived up
to 1878, publishing a newspaper and
serving with distinction in the state
legislature. The state central commit
tee was in constant communication with
Gov. Mellette during the entire cam
paign for the nomination, and then dur
ing the campaign for election.
Il don't know of any man in the
Northwest who contributed more to the
nomination and election of Gen. HarrI-
son than Arthur c. Mellette. He is one
of the most open and fair fighters in
politics or business have ever known,
and know of my own personal knowl-
edge that from the very outset his first
choice was Gen. Harrison. When Gov.
Mellette was here with the Minneapolis
people, year ago this month, trying to
induce the Republican national COM
mittee to hold its convention in Mime
apolis, he told me and a number of his
friends that he was for Gen. Harrison.
and believed he would be nominated"

II Is a Great Credit-Why a Dem
ocratic Paper Is Not Found
There.
Special to the Globe.
RAPID CITY, Dee. 21.-A look over
the Black Hills will result in some
surprises in the newspaper line. 1t is
possible that nowhere on earth is
greater number of good papers sup
ported by so few people. The Black
Hills region has population of not to
exceed $4,000 people. Here we have
four morning dailies, one afternoon
daily, and fourteen weekly and one
monthly paper. A new weekly is also
promised at Spearfish Jan. 1. Dead
wood, Rapid City and Lead
City, with not to exceed 1000
people, have four morning and
one evening dailies, and two
weekly newspapers. OelrichS' popula-
ton, 500, has two weeklles; Sturgls,
1000, has two weeklies; OF Springs,
Buffalo Gap, Custer, Hermosa, Tilford.
Whitewood, Spearfish and Minnesota
have each a weekly, and SpearfSh has
also monthly paper. And yet re-
cent writer from this section proposes
Deadwood as just the place for a Demo-
cratic daily. No newspaper man of eX-
perience needl be told the result of
running a nonpareil paper in small
plea town. The newspapers here are
we'll supported now, but it is to the
everlasting credit of the business men
that they are. Country patronage in
the Black Hills don't amount to shucks.
Hayseed legislation and piratical conf
petition have put prices down so that
public printing-except land office no
tices-wil hardly pay for compo-
sition. And even now one enter
prising Journalist is inaugurating cut
on land office printing. There were not
enough Democrats in Lawrence county
last fall 10 keep up party organization
for campaign purposes, not to speak of
supporting daily paper. Deadwood
needs a Democratic paper of some kind
indeed the whole Black Hills does
but the experience of the publisher will
be like that of him who published the
Marshalltown, To-. Statesman. in days
gone by. He was working his paper off
on hand press, and sympathiZing
friend asked him why he didn't buy a
steam press. why don't you buy half
of this town." asked the editor. BE
cause you haven't the money? That's
why l don't buy steam press. Run

A GREAT INVENTOR,
Who Has Hundreds of Patents, a
Resident of Dakota.

Special to the Globe.
HURON, Dec. 2I-G. Laube. of Huron,
OAK, is doubtless one of the most re-
markable inventors in the Northwest,
having perfected and patented very
large number of useful articles. Among
the most prominent of Mr.. Laube's
inventions are these: Stovepipe
safety Joint, safety thimble. spring
stove-pipe collar, strainer sprinkler.
rotary steam engine, double incline and
lever weight combined, wind engine
governor, air pressure preserver. stove
extension, sad-iron heater, bottle holder,
refrigerator and water cooler combined,
the moistening. equalizing and distrib-
uting car heater; double faucet, double
automatic cigar tray, egg beater, flour
sitter. non-clogable coal scuttle, wash
ing machine, and later the straw and
hay burning stoves, heaters and fur
es-seventeen in all.
Mr.. Laube's inventions since 1865
would reach into the hundreds. The
stoves patented by him are becoming SO
favorably known that there is brisk
demand for them i'll this part of the
world, where the burning of straw and
hay is so general among farmers. For
the manufacture of these stoves
company has been organized at st. Paul,
with Nj. Howes, of that city, as manager.
efforts are being made for the location
