 H. c. Wiikey, the Jeweler, has made the business of spectacle and eye glass fitting special study, and is now pre- pared to fit complicated defects of vision on short notice. He tests each eye sep arately and gives the required lenses necessary, in any style frame required Give him trial and if not suited it will cost you nothing.
 l -Dr. Buchanan completely refuted the charges of his Freeman township defamers at the speaking there last We'd nesday and set at rest the silly stories that have been circulated by the Dares ! in that community. The Dr. had ample documentary evidence to dis prove every allegation made against him, and came off more than vindicated.
 The farmers of Johnson county are l to hold meeting at Clarksville on the l 10th of September to consider the diver of plan, which, by concert of action, shall result in the production of many bushels of grain and tons of hay. If the meet ing aceomplishes beneficial results we hope the contagion will spread to Pope county.
 MT. A. s. Garrison, member of the live lumber firm of Forrest, Turner & Co. at Mill Creek, and republican candi- date for county clerk, was in town Fri day. He discredits the Haryill affidavit and says he is in the fight to the finish and desires and expects in the coming election to get every republican vote in the county at least. MT. Garrison is a good citizen and has many friends in all parties.
 Hon. M. l.. Davis, presidential elec- tor for the fourth congressional district, enroute to Coal Hill, was a welcome caller at the DEMOCRAT sanctum Satur- day. MT. Davis is not only a brilliant editor, but an eloquent and forcible speaker, and we are pleased to announce the fact that our people will have an opportunity to hear him discuss the po- litical issues before the close of the pres idential campaign.
 l I.a tuf. the Cove, Monday, from the speaking in Gum Log township, Judge Berryman's buggy was overturned, throwing him to the ground with such force as to bruise him considerably, though not seriously. Sheriff Johnson happened to be near by, and through his assistance things were soon righted, and the party reached home without further mishap.
 Freeman township democrats made a grand demonstration in behalf of their candidates on the day of the speaking there. Anvils were fired, men and wo- men cheered and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed. Messrs. W. M. Albright, NJ. l.. Ellis, J. s. Church, A. c. Shouse and the other stalwart democrats of that To- cality are splendidly organized and will present solid front to the enemy next Monday.
 Gen. Field in his speech here took issue with his party platform on the railroad question. He says his party does not want to buy the roads, but to control them by legislation. He favored the pension plank of his party which calls for $400,000, 900 to pay the soldiers the difference between the value of the greenbacks they were paid in and gold. He told the truth when he said Weaver also favored this outrageous scheme.
 Speaking of the candidacy of Capt. Harkey for the presidency of the Sem ate, the always reliable Clarksville Her ald-Journal has this to say: "J. NJ. Harkey, the Senator from this district, would make fine presiding officer of | that body. He is a man of sound judge ment and would be impartial in his rulings. Capt. Harkey is man of in- tegrity, staunch Democrat and in this section of the State is justly popular"
 Gen. Field, the populite candidate for the vice-presidency appeared before his Russellville audience without sus- penders or vest, wearing fifteen dollar eutaway coat. a grey beard, cork-leg and walking stick. This is the man who 1 feared his dignity might be sacrificed by meeting such men as Rogers, Jones and Berry. We are inclined to think the loss of dignity would have been on the part of the latter gentlemen by the con- tact.
 A D. D. stumper, name unknown, acting under direction of the state com mittee, is in this county making speech es and advising the people how to vote. He spoke at Smyrna Tuesday and at Appleton Wednesday, at which appoint ments Capt. Harkey, the democratic wheel-horse, met him and ably contro- verted his fallacious doctrines. He is to speak here, we understand, on the 2d and at Atkins on the 3d. A live demo- crat will doubtless meet him at both | places.
 Miss Rose Patterson and Mrs, 0'Neal, committee to solicit subscrip- tions to Worlds Fair Stock, made par tial canvass of the town last week and succeeded in getting about $50 subscrib- ed. Another canvass will be made this week and we bespeak for the ladies a kind reception and liberal contribution. 1 It gives us pleasure to note that Russ | eilyille seems disposed at last to do her share in aiding the movement to glve our beloved state front seat in the great show at Chicago.
 Reports from the county canvass now nearing close are most gratifying to the democrats and indicate sweep ing victory next Monday. Every day demonstrates that the democratic cause is growing in strength, while the oppo- sition is weakening and growing dis eouraged aud dispondent, From the present outlook the majority for our ticket will be larger this year than ever before. And strong effort should be made to that end in order to increase our representation in the state conyen- ton.
