--The trial of the party accused of knowledge of the murder of then infant found in the old well out on tliB Dover road is in progress before Esq. Trest. The accused is Mrs. Lite, a widow, residing in Yell county. Duputy- Sheriff Strickland effected her arrest last Friday. She affected much sur prise and pleads innocence. It Is un- derstood, however, that there Is much testimony to show that she knows more of the matter than she is willing 10 ad- init.
 Jacobson will sell for the next two weeks your choice of all wool challies at Is 2-3c per yard. The former price on these very same fabrics was 25c per yard, but they must go, even if the price means loss to us.
 --Our SiIex correspondent refers to the bridge question which reminds us that 1t is well to keep the matter before the people. An esteemed friend sug- gests to us that the proper place to To- cate the Bayou bridge Is near Dover. More people can derive greater benefit from it there than at any point further down. Let the advocates of the differ ent places get together and decide on DcSb loO6btOhs thCh SO uo WI h Ash ~%Ata- est to secure funds to do the work.
 Gentlemen, if you are suffering from the excessive heat, call on Jacobson and buy one of those very cool, very comfortable, very handsome and very cheap, light-weight coats and vests, prices, from $1.25 to S7.O0.
 The Citizens Savings Bank, sue cessor to Weimer's Savings Bank, the first bank established in Russell ville, has an advertisement in this is- sue. G. w. Harkey is President, R. F, Roys, Vice President, w. c. Weimer, Cashier, and James A. Potts Assistant Cashier. The list oi stock holders embrace the names of leading and influential citizens. It is a solid and reliable institution and wor thy of the handsome patronage extended to 1t.
 For two weeks only, Jacobson will sell his entire stock of cotton challies at 4 cts. per yard. None are reserved; {; all must be sold, and the sooner you take advantage of this unprecedented offer, the better you will be pleased. This is pointer to the country mer- chant who wants to buy bargains.

Hon. Jef Davis.

Clarksyille Hsrald-Journal, 12.
 Hon. Jeff Davis, in the primaries, carried this county by large majority, and he also carried Yell by respecta- ble majority, and there being no doubt as to his own county, his nomination is assured. Mir. Davis is 2S years old, was born In the southern part of the State during the late war, received the name of the President of the Southern Confederacy, and was brought up to the principles of Democracy. He is a young man of sterling worth, with above the average natural endowments, with good education and splendid le- gal equipments. He studied law in Vanderbilt University, and has, in a few ears, arisen to prominence in his profession and popularity among the people. In him we will have a prose. cutting attorney, in every way qualified for the position; one who will ably represent the interests of the District. The Democracy will be proud of him.

New Hope Church Dedication

About three miles west of Dover, In a popu10us and prosperous community, Is located New Hope Church, a house of worship belonging to the Cumber- land Presbyterians. The old church becoming inadequate to the needs of the membership, new building was designed and recently completed, and last Sunday was set as the time for taking charge and dedicating 1t. The day, although opening rather iDausplc- iously, turned out to be as pleasant as could have been wished. About 500 persons were present to witness the interesting exercises, which briefly stated were as follows: The Sunday school was held in the old building. After memorable ses- sion the teachers. pupils and visitors bade adieu to the old and marched oyer in body and took possession of the new.
 Mrs. Bettis presided at the organ, and after several selections of music, the dedicatory sermon was preached by Rev. w. c. Wheat from Eph. l, 10. The dedicatory prayer was delivered by the Rev. Mr. Bettis.
 Dinner was served on the ground, and there was an abundance oft, much more than was consumed. In the afternoon a communion ser- vice was held.
 The new church is quite handsome structure, painted without and papered and carpetted within. Large chande- Hers, new seats and handsome pulpit give It an air of elegance and comfort quite gratifying to the senses.
 The New Hope community is to be congratulated upon this evidence of prosperity and refinement.

Editor DEMOCRAT: As the world at large may not know of this metropolis I will give you few items. Jim Bailey is merchant and P. M., dispenses. and occasionally sells yard of molasses or gallon of calico, also counts the butter and weighs the eggs. Esq. Russell dispensss justice or in justice as the case may require. Dr. Murphy attends to the bodily ailments but we have no one to look after the souls. Uncle Jo Howard is enumerat- ing Liberty township to see If they have, In the past ten years, complied with the scriptural commandment "multiply and replenish the earth. ]" Ed Strong is city boss; sorry to say his orders are not always obeyed. At present all his time is spent in his "tater" patch. Uncle Bailey Is general roustabout and at present is survey ing Martin township with the view of making map of this important, unex- plored, rough part of the universe, also to locate site for bridges on Pinsy and the Bayou, so we can get out to the civilized part of the world. As yet not any of our dergs have killed them selves barking at candinates. They have too much sense to bark at small game. OCCASIONAL. June l6 lS90

Columbia Record:
 In speaking of the anniversary meeting of the Missionary Society of the Methodist church, the Camden Beacon pays the following deserved compliment to Miss Matte Williams, most brilliant young lady, well known in this place and we take pleasure in reproducing it. It says : But the .'chef d'eurve" of the eve ming was the recitation of "The Lost Ship" by Miss Mattie Williams, which to be properly appreciated, should have been heard. The graceful carriage, the clear enunciation, the touching psthos of the speaker all so harmoniously blended, combined to prove her an elocutionist of rare accomplishment; 1; while the breathless stiffness of the packed house during the recitation, and the round applause at the close, bore ample testimony 10 the appre- citation of the audience of her effort.
