The Young Mems Christian As-
 SOciatiOn,

Mir. Frank Fessenden of Little Rock has been here several days engaged in developing sufficient interest to enable him to organize a Young Mems Christian Association and a public reading room. A public meet ing was held last Sunday afternoon at the Nj. E. O., south, at which several short talks were made on the line of work proposed by the As- sociation. Capt. R. J. Wilson discuss ed "Young Men in Business Life;" MT. J. F. Munday spoke Of "Young Men in the Church;" MT. Lawrence Russell dwslt upon "The Possibilities of Self Culturc," and Prof. A. K. Lee told of the advantages of the "Young Mems Christian Association and Pub- lie Reading Room"
 Twenty gentlemen present favored the organization of the Association.
 It was decided to meet again next Sunday afternoon at o'clock, at the same place, to receive the reports of canvassers and to perfect an organiza- tion if deemed advisable.
 The DEMOCRAT hopes this movement will meet with success, and 1t can De made signal success by receiving the encouragement and financial assistance it's importance demands at the hands oi our christian business men. Aside from the object of the Association in helping the young and old to higher conceptions of life and duty, the public reading room would be of incalculablt benefit to all.
 The Association is needed by all classes of young men, by the church by the family, by the business com munity, by society. Let us have it.

,JobnnIe Ferguson Dead.

Last Tuesday afternoon, at half past one, at the residence of his step-father, w. r. W ooten, Esq, occurred the death of Mir. John T. Ferguson.
 The deceased was born July l l, 1868, and was therefore in his 22d year. He professed religion in Little Rock in 1887 during the revival conducted by Evangelist Penn, and connected him. self with the Baptist church, his mem- bership now being with the Russell vile church. we believe. His death was caused by consumption, from which he has been sufferer for over year. He was amply prepared for the final sum. mons, and expressed his feadiness and willingness to go.
 | The deceased was member of the Little Rock Typographical Union, hay | ing begun the trade In the office of tho Arkansas Evangel, while published ir Russellyille in 1883. In connection with his brother Will, he had charge O. the mechanical department of the paper after It's removal to Little Rock, ant after the change of name to Arkansas l Baptist, until little over year ago l He was an expert in his profession and was highly esteemed by his em ployers.
 lie was affectionate, kind and con siderate to relatives, friends and associ ates, all of whom are deeply grieves at his untimely death.
 The funeral sermon was preached a the Baptist church Wednesday after noon at o'clock by the Rev. Mir Cason, after which the body was in \ terred iu the Russelyille cemetery il the presence ofa large concourse O sympathizing friends.

A CORRECTION.
RUssxLLv1rIs, ARK. April 90.

ttJuc&x4AH 4A&AAH3 1AAhst ARtAA we To the Farmers of Pope County:
 On my return home from Johnson county find that few men are try ing to make political capital out of a statement that I made in Mir. Fuckers store in Russellville short time siucs, and have so perverted that statement and given such publicity to It that I deem It my duty to set my self right with my farmer friends at least. sub join the statement of Mir. James l.. Tucker who was present and heard the whole conversation, which statement will explain itself, and possesses the true idea of farmers unions. I stated then. and state now, that the Alliance or any other organization that was for the good of the farmer met my hearty approval and endorsement, but that the men who had organized the farm CTS formerly for political purposes on- ly, had better be attending to their own business and letting every body else's alone. am candidate for the office of Prosecuting Attorney, have lived in Pope county all my life and am known to you all, and will greatly appreciate your confidence and support, but the mere fact that an candidate author izes no one to misrepresent me so gross ly as 1 am informed have been. The following Is the statement of Mir. Tuck CT, which speaks for itself:
 To whom it may concern;
 This Is to certify that I was present and heard a conversation that occurred in my store few days ago between Mir. Jeff Davis and others and among other things that were said, after speaking of the great evils growing out of the money problem of this government and the unjustness of the tariff, Mir. Davis said that the farming element ought to unite in an agricultural way for their mutual good, benefit and and spoke of the good results that he had witnessed in Mon- roe county in 1888, where the farmers owned two fine gins in common, fine stock, &c., and said that in one place they had neighborhood meat market, and said that this was the kind of union needed, but said that if those leaders going oyer the country organizing the farmers for political purposes would stav at home and have their smoke houses and corn cribs at home and not in Kansas City or St. Louis, and stay between the blow handles and behind , mule and work harder it would be better for them and for the country.
 JAMES L. TUCKER.
 Yours Very Truly,
 JEFF DAVIS.

Catarrh

Catarrh
 IS blood disease. Until the poison is expelled from the system, there can be no cure for this loathsome and dangerous malady. Therefore, the only effective treatment is thorough course of Ayers Sarsaparilla = the best of all blood purifiers. The sooner you begin the better delay is dangerous.
 1T was troubled with catarrh for over two years. I tried various remedies, and was treated by number of physi- clans, but received no benefit until I began to take Ayers Sarsaparilla. A few bottles of this medicine cured me of this troublesome complaint and com pletely restored my health."- M. Boggs, Holman's Mills, N. c.
 swhen Ayers Sarsaparilla was rec commended to me for catarrh, was in- clined to doubt it's efficacy. Having tried so many remedies, with little ben- eft had no faith that anything would cure me I became emaciated from loss of appetite and impaired digestion. l had nearly lost the sense of smell, and my system was badly deranged. I was about discouraged, when friend urged me to try Ayers SaFsaparilla, and re- ferred me to persons whom 1t had cured of catarrh. After taking half dozen bottles of this medicine, I am convinced that the only sure way of treating this obstinate disease is through the blood" . Charles II. Maloney. 1i3 River st.. Lowell, Mass.
