The Emmet Barbecue.

Saturday, accompanied by Hon. w. V. Tompkins, we attended the Emmet barbecue No other editor present. Hon Paul Jones, of Tex arkana, was expected to address the people, but failed to come. Just be- fore II o'clock a committee waited on MT. Tompkins and told him he would have to take MT. Jones place on the program, and he told them all right, he was always loaded now a-days," but not to expect too much from him. At the hour named the people were called together under the large harbor, and for over an hour our popular Prescott orator held the wrapt attention of the large crowd. It was a regular Democratic love feast. He compared the records of the different political parties, and told of Fcatherston's going with the corrupt Republicans in Congress. Read Weaver's rebuke to Republi cans for cnacting the seven bad laws complained of by the old Greenback party, and how he gave Democrats credit for partly undoing their bad work. But we have hot space to re- view whole speech-it was a splen- did effort, and accomplished good. Capt. W R White was also called on, and made a short, effective and earn est speech.
 Dinner was announced at 1 O clock, the ladies going first; afterward all went to table and were amply fed There were all kinds of barbecued meats, breads. cakes pies, ect. MT. Oscar Phillips was master of cere- monies, and acquitted himself well. Barbecue was complete success every way, and the good citizens of Emmet deserve great credit for get ting up such an entertainment. There were between eight and twelve hundred people present.

BLUFF CIrY, ARK, Aug. 18th.
 MR. EDITOR :-knowing that your readers would like to know the re- suit of the speaking at this place, l drop you few lines. There was a very good audience out. A ex- pected, the candidates for Lcgisla- ture occupied most of the time, as sisted by Capt. Jno. A. Ansley, who made about a half hour s speech, excusing himself therefor by saving that Bro. Buchanan was rath- CT new to the business, thus acknowl- cdging the latter's inability to cope with our Bunk White.
 was rather astonished to hear Buchanaa's $ statement of the vote on the silver bill. He said l0i Demo- crats voted against it, DO did not vote, and l6 voted for it, thus giving the Democrats l10 members in Con- gress. Was it ignorance or what, to make such statement:
 l learn that Dr Norwood is telling the negroes that president (small p Harrison wrote to Mas Powell to send to him { (Ilarrison) the names of all negroes in the State who voted the Democratic ticket. have never heard the penalty to be imposed upon them for thus voting.
 The result of the speaking at this place was good for the Democratic party. Respectfully,

MT. J. P. Hendrix, one of Caney townships most prominent citizens was up Tuesday and made us an ap- preciated call. He tells us many of the old Greenbackers are leaving the sinking L. l..

 The county canvass opened at Boughton Friday. Most of candi- dates made short talk. simply telling of their candidacy. .- Messrs. Sutton and Robinson had little tilt-formor showing up latter $ record. We also ventillate his record on opposite page. Mcssrs, White and Buchanan made lengthy speech es. MT. White defined his views and the position he would take in the Legislature, if elected About all MT.

 The following article from the llazen Free Press is to the point and should be read by all. It says :- I've are happy to announce this week that our people have closed q contract with Davis X Rankin, the well known creamery builders, of Chicago, for combined butter and cheese factory, and as we go to press the subscribers to the capital stock are holding meeting for the purpose of appointing commit tee to select a suitable location for the plant which will be near, if not
 in the limits of Hazen. The Free Press don't know of any enterprise that will help build up all branches of industry like a we'll equipped, well conducted butter and chesse factory. They are doing wonders in other States, and in places not near so well adapted to the dairy industry as our own beautiful prairie county, and the vicinity of Hazen in particular. ' This enterprise will not cost much and is as well adapted to Prescott as Hazen or Stuttgart. We cannot af- ford to miss getting the creamery.

 ME. EDITOR The candidates are here to-day. They have all spoken at this writing but Bunk, who has just gotten up.
 Mir Buchanan made little differ ent speech to-day from his Bluff City speech; most of speech consisted of a rehash of the old, old story, with an additional reading from the evi- dence in the Featherston contest, and q trade of abuse on the Democratic party for election frauds. Strange to say, Mir. Buchanan opposes a change of election law, while he charges fraud under it. He wants to change the administrators of the law, i, C., to put out the Democrats, and put in Powell Clayton and his cohorts. If Mir. Buchanan is intelll- gent enough to go the Legislature, he knows that Powell Clayton bosses all opposition to the Democratic party, under whatever name 1t may be called. hear Bunk scoring Buchanan speech.
 My messenger is waiting, who is MT. John Hurst, who says he is not going to quit the |, l.. party, but hes quit it.

THE LEGION OF HONOR.

The Department of Legion of
Honor is an association of Gov
ernment employees and those who
have property. Its object is to
protect those vino borrow money
against the ten percent sharks
and when a man signs the consti-
'ution of this organization, 1t is
understood with the department
that he intends to meet his Obli-
cation or loose his place and when
be borrows money aud signs the
constitution he does it on the
strength of his position and no
man can remain in the govern
ment service who attempts to rob
the organization and those who
become his surity. Men come
with pitiful tales against these
ten per cent sharks and asked to
he relieved. When they are thus
aided it is xEected that they be
honorable enough to pay their in
debtedness without being forced
to do so.

We advise the colored people Of
this country to have a watchtul
eve Of their surroundings, and
not listen to all that is said to
them detrimental to the republi-
eau party. Any attack on the
republican party, as a party, is an
attack on the rights of the Negro
All that the Negroes have to-day
and ali that they will ever get
will be through the Instrumental
ity Of the republican party. 1t is
tollg for any Negro or set of Ne
groes to attempt to organic a
Negro party or set themselves mp
ae dictat0rs. The condition of
the colored people in this country,
today, Is due to false aud unscru
pulous leadership. 1t has been
self agCrandjzement or the accom-
pl shment of some personal end on
the part Of few OF our ambitious
leaders.
Must the entire Negro race suf-
fer because a few demagouges e
not appointed to Off e? Must
those who are doing well be sacri-
6ced because a few place hunters
are disappointed? Let US advise
our people net TO be lead into the
camp nf the democratic party
which kn, ~ nothing but oppres-
sion 10 the Negro, because We all
cannot get what we want False
leadership has been the impedi-
ment TO our race : progress; false
leadership has been the down fall
IF the republican party in the
S0urh aud it Will be false leader
ship that will send the Negro race
lut0 eternity.
It is NV proposed by few
men seeking uOtoriety to declare
Themselves independent voters.
We refer, particularly, to the late
e0losed convention that was held
IN Richmond, Va, a few days ago.
When we come to consider the
:lasa Of men who composed the
convention we are not surprised.
The moving spirits ii the conven-
tiOns were men who have lost
their political prestige. There is
something else for the Negro to do
other than having political squab-
5Ies and political meetings. 1t Is to
the hest interest of the Negro,
however. to maintain the princi-
pies of the republic party and
see that good men are placed in
power aud then we shall have no
cause TO complain. We should
have a rest on Negro conventions,
because they amount to as much
as the Negro vote does in the
South.

WHAT MEN LIKE IN WO-
MEN.

There is a certain something,
which, for the want of better
name, is called womanliness, and
it is that which makes woman at
tractive to men. A great many
virtures 60 to make up this one
possession and they are what men
like IN women.
Men like, in the first place,
amiablity in woman,
They like a pleasant appearance.
They like the doing of little
things that are pleasant to them.
They like the courtesy Of the
freside.
They like women whose lives
and faces are always full of sun
shine of contented mind and a
cheerful disposition.
They like an ability to talk
we'll and a knowledge of the
virtue of silence.
They like a motherliness big
enough to understand the wants
of the older, as we'll as the
younger boys.
They like a disposition to
speak good, rather than evil of
every human being.
They like sympathy which
means a willing ear for the tale
Of sorrow and gladness.
They like the knowledge of
how to dress well, which, blythe
bye, doesn't mean conspicuonsly.
Men are most attracted by good
material. plain draperies and
quiet colors; not by snowy colors
or designs.
They like intelligence, but they
prefer that the heart should be
stronger than the brain.
They like companion wo-
man who has sufficient knowledge
of the world and its ways TO
walk we'll with them, who is in
terested in their lives and their
plans and in their hopes; who
knows how to give a cheering
word, or to listen quietly and by
a tender look express the grief
which the heart is feeling.
They may sometimes say that
children are a bore an ; nui-
sance, but man shrinks from a
woman who openly declares her
dislike Of them. A man expects
the maternal instinct in a woman
and is disappointed if be does not
find it.
They like women to be aftec-
tionate there never was man yet,
no matter how stern, no matter
how cold, no matter how repress-
i've as far as his own feeling were
concerned, who did not a loving
squeeze of the hand, or a tender
kiss from the woman nearest to
him. These are some of the
things that men like in women.
