"The Border city."

The third semi-annual meeting of the Western Arkansas Press Club was held at Fort Smith last Friday. The attend ance was not as large as was expected, but that defect was amply compensated for by the generous welcome extended those who did attend, not only by the genial members of the local press, and courteous Mayor Cooke, but by mum Der of other public spirited citizens as well.
 In the afternoon, after the close of the business meeting, the visitors were taken around the city in handsome turnouts furnished by that prince of liberal livery men, Will Schulte. The drive extended through the business and residence por tions of the city. Many elegant and spacious buildings of modern and costly architecture were seen, giving evidence of the wealth and refinement of the peo- pie. The National cemetery, the gar rison and the United States jail were visited. Jailor Pape was especially at tentive and by no means averse to giy- ing any information desired concerning the I20 prisoners in his charge. Within the enclosure surrounding the prison stands the gallows from which Execu- tioner Maledon has sent 70 criminals to their awful doom. The county court house and Federal court building are magnificent structures and in each every appointment is first class The building $125,000. The public school system of Fort Smith is her crowning glory. Institutions of learn ing abound in the city and princely school fund is in the treasury. At the lla1 1T, hsar of ssyan l- lection of cereals and native woods are displayed. Garrison Avenue is Fort Smiths principal artery of commerce.. It excites admiration because of it's un- usual width. Paved with vitrified brick a new departure in street paving, it is indeed strikingly handsome thorough fare. The privileges of the Arkansas Club were extended by it's genial secre- tary c. K. Williams.
 In the evening an informal spread was served in the elegant banquet hall of the Hotel Main, to which party of twelve sat down and passed two hours very en- joyably.
 Thus closed one of the most pleasant gatherings in the history of the Club.
 For special attentions and favors the DEMOCRAT desires to return thanks to c. R. Williams and family, Bud Weldon, A. A. Powe and G. T. Williams of the local press, Judge Blythe, K. NJ. Fry, Judge Read, Will Schulte, w. B. Pape, J. B. Forester, J. B. McDonough, George Sengal, Mayor Cook and J. M. Neal.
 Fort Smith is exceedingly anxious for the next meeting of the State Press As sociation, and from the numerous cordi- al invitations extended and lively inter est manifested it is evident that in the event the executive committee sends the Association there welcome will be ac- corded which no member will ever for get.
 The next meeting of the Club will be held at Huntington in January and the irrepressible genius who presides over the Democrat of that city promises every attendant a royal time.

The Primary Election.

The election held July 9 was one of the most quiet and orderly ever held in this county. We have to hear of sim gle township in which the least disturb ance occurred. This is certainly great tribute to the law abiding and peaceably disposed citizens of Pope county, and marks d striking contrast between the present and the time when saloons ex- isted. 1t teaches a great temperance | lesson, one which we are sure will not be lost upon the voters in September when they are called upon to say wheth- CT or not license shall be issued in this county next year. From party stand point the vote was exceptionally "clean,' very small number of third partyites or republicans attempted or succeeded in participating in the election. The total vote cast was 2027 against 2l3l two years ago, a loss of l04, which number was more than off set by the union la bor vote in different parts of the county two years ago. From the interest man. ifested this year it is safe to say the dem- ocrats of the county were never more united and determined upon a grand victory in September.
 Below will be found the vote by townships
 Allen l6, Bayllss o7, Burnett 74, Con venience 60, Clarke s9, Center 56, Dover PIT, Freeman 34, Griffin 9s, Galla Rock 10, Gala Creek v, Gum Log 30, Holly Bend 62, Illinois 351, Independence II, Jackson 100, Liberty I02, Lee 3s, Martin 143, Moreland l6, Northfork 40, Sand Springs 20, Valley 67, Wilson 226.

Judge Wallace and Dr. Buchanan will address the Holly Bend township Tariff Refornl-C Cleveland club next Sat- urday night and JudgesJ. T. Bullock will perform a similar service for the same kind of club in Center township on I the same evening. Our friends in the country can confidently rely upon some thing worth hearing from each and ev- cry one of these gentlemen.
 Several families went out on the Bayou last Thursday and spent the day very pleasantly in the woods. A barbe- cued mutton and pig and the fish caught from the stream, together with the usual etceteras made and provided, constitut- cd the midday meal, which, from those who were there, we learn was very fine. To MT. Tom Davis the originator of the affair, IS due much of the credit for it's i success.
 Ut IS unfortunate for Russellville that the public school building is not large enough to furnish another depart ment--that of music. The music pupils attending school lose much valuable | time taking lessons under the present arrangement, and it is of great incon- veuience to both teacher and pupil. The

 --"rhe Spirit of Dixie" is the name of a sparkling monthly magazine just is sued from the DEMOCRAT press, with the name of Elmore Lucy at the mast head as editor and publisher. The new journ- al is to be conducted so as to reflect as in mirror southern life and progress. It will contain from 20 to 24 pages of southern poetry, song and story, humor- ous and satirical cartoons and sketches. Each number will be superbly illustrat- ed with beautiful engravings, and as a humorous paper it will be equal to Puck or Judge. Every citizen whose heart burns with loyalty for ''the land we love" should take it. Price 50 cents a on the DEMOCRAT for clubbing terms.
 An advertisement of the Russell vile High School for the fall term be- ginning September I2 appears in this issue. With thorough organization, complete equipment of apparatus and libary and efficient corps of teachers, unsurpassed advantages are offered stu dents in town and vicinity. Prof. A. K. Lee, than whom there is not more zealous, enthusiastic or capable educator in the state, will have charge and be as- sisted by Messrr. J. T. Bowling and K. 1 A. Ross, and Misses Teeter and Rowan, all admirably fitted for the departments assigned them. Miss Rankin having ac-. cepted position in Lebanon College, her place will be filled by the board lat CT. The school will open under the most favorable auspices and promises to be eminently successful. A few pupils outside of the district can be accom- modated.

 POLITICAL POINTS.
 We are going to organize our Cleve- land club soon. The democrats have made no mistakes in selecting their standard-bearers this year and our hat is up for the ticket from president to aoroner,
 regard to Arkansas vote on the tariff question.
 At the September election you will please give us "Fish" as Ham" is al- ways stale at this season of the year. We don't see how any southern man can prefer Harrison and his force bill to Cleveland and tariff reform. Remember brethren that consistency is jewel even when worn by 2 republican" Let every democrat do his duty and hn will annihilate the enemy more completely in the coming election than Wellington did Napoleon at Waterloo, and very nearly as bad as Bullock did Hearne al Potts Station on the 2d inst.
 Success to the cause that Is just.

A Correction

In our last issue we stated that Mir. T. c. Hollabaugh had voted in the dem- ocratic primary in Jackson township. Since then we have received from Mir Hollabaugh the following denial which we publish cheerfully:
 Hector, July l6th 1892. Editor DEMoCRATi I noticesna local in the Democrat of this week which does me great injustice, inasmuch as it places me in very inconsistent po- sition before the people. I wish to say that did not vote in the democratic primary and have not intimated to any one that 1 would support the democrat ic ticket in September.
 Very Respectfully,
 T. G. HoLLABAUGH. We certainly had no intention of do- ing MT. Hollabaugh an injustice. The rumor on which our statement was bas- ed was current at the time and reached us through what we considered reliable source. As the matter stands we have no reason to doubt Mir. Hollabaugh's loyalty to his ticket, and with pleasure give him the benefit of the statement.
