Better than Ever.

It did seem as though the seedsmen outdid themselves last year In the line of elaborate catalogues, but here comes Vick's Floral Guide for 1889, from Roch- ester, N. Y., better than all previous issues. Better hardly expresses it. rather, we should say, far superior. It has been changed in every respect; now cuts, new type, enlarged in size lopen- ing like an old fashioned singing book) {; contains three elegant Autographs (8xl0 A inches) of Roses, Geraniums and Tomato; besides a very fine plate of the late James Wick and his three sons who own and manage this large business. These features must mako the Floral Guide valuable to their many thousands of customers in this country.
 We also notice that Wick returns to the plan started by the founder Of the busi- ness years ago, of offering cash prizes at the State Fair. One would think they were little out of their heads to offer to the public such work as tho Guide free, for that IS what it amounts to, when they say 1t will be sent on receipt of fifteen cents, and that certificate good for fifteen cents worth of seed will be returned with the Guide.

 The directors of the Melrose manu- featuring Co.,, have decided to resume opt ratiens just as soon as the damaged building can be repaired and tho new machinery put in. This will be good news to the large number of operatives thrown out of employment by the fire. It is also gratifying to our business men for the patronage of the factory employ es is no oinconsederable item. Speed the day Of the opening and may the man. agemsnt enjoy long era of unexa m- pied prosperity.
 It is reported that Representative Sellers of Perry county is the origina- tor of movement to detach a strip ono mile wide from across the entire east ern side Of Pope county and attach the same to Conway county, for the purpose Of course, of making Conway larger and Pope smaller. If this is &C., riously contemplated 1t should be fought with all the earnestness that can be commanded. Mir. Sellers is al- together too previous, and Mir. Sibley is hereby requested to "squslch" him at once.
 Our friend R. H. Tate has an eye to business and knows good thing when he sees it. In proof of this we cite the fact that he has just bought for the wholesale and retail trade 100 bar rels of chewing gum, a new brand em- bracing all the admirable qualities Of other gums together with many new and superior characteristics. It sells at sight and neve. fails to give satisfaction. Judge Davis laid in supply of five barrels fearing the stock might become exhausted. Other users of the quid had better do likewise.
 The Russellvills Foundry and Ma chine shop is turning out some very fine work m the way of House Fronts, Sorgho Mills and Iron Fencing, demon- strating the fact that in this line of work this establishment cannot be ex- cslled anywhere.

A DEMONS DEED.
Col John M. Clayton Laid Low
 by an Assassin's Bullet.

Col. John Nj. Clayton, of Pine Bluff, contestant for Maj. Breckin ridges seat in congress from the second district, was foully assassina ted iu his room at PlummerviIle, Conway county. Tuesday night about 9:30 o'clock. But one shet was fired and that one with deadly effect, his death being instantaneous The as sassin escaped leaving no clue be- hind. Col. Clayton was engaged in taking testimony in regard to the ballot box theft at the Plummerville precinct last November and his as- sassination is doubtless due to this investigation, although the particu- lars have not been learned up to this writing. The terrible deed is one of the greatest outrages ever perpe- trated in the state, and calls for the severest condemnation in every quar- ter. The cowardly assassin should be hunted down and punished for his infamous crime.

 "Wine at the White HOus


 In discussing this subject in an editorial in a late issue of the New York Weekly Mail and Express, tue editor h very conservative man ner favors the exclsuion of wine from the White House on State din ners. Now that we are soon to en- ter upon new administrator the discussion of this important subject is opportune, and if the newspaper press, secular as we'll as religious that favor the total abstinence from all intoxicants as beverages would keep the subject before the public it would likely result in the setting of such an example by our Chief Ex- ecutive as will give the temperance cause grand step forward. In state or official dinners the nation is the host and the President acts as her representative and to have wine is offensive to very large proportion of the inhabitants, for the moral sense of the masses has banished wine from the tables of the people. 1 have been observing now thirty years and 1 have never seen wine used at meals. 1.-the people through out the U. s. will agitate the subject through the press, petitions, etc., the President will certainly respect their wishes. Gen. Harrison is said to be a Christian gentleman rIgidly tenn perate at home, and it is to be hoped that his moral principles are so deep seated that he will not so far depart from the religious habits of his past life as to offend the best element Of society. No true gentlemen, though he may have been accustomed to wine, would desire to have any per son do what he believed to be wrong to gratify himself. 1 trust that ev. cry person who desires our chief ex ecutive to set national example in favor of total abstinence from liquors of every kind will do all he or she can to bring the subject to the at tention Of the president-elect. This can be done by petition direct, or by calling on our representatives in Congress to act Tn the premises for us. The secular press can do much Tn this worthy cause. J. s. CLOVER.
