 Under the beheficent effect of the anti-lieense system in vogue in this county during the past eight years coun- ty expenditures have been reduced one- half the number of indictments have been lessened in the same ratio, one-half the number of prisoners are confined in the jail, and the terms of circuit court seldom last more than two weeks, where as under the whiskey regime they vera frequently of four weeks duration. Be- sides, town brawls and country quarrels were of frequent occurrence when saloons fourished, now disturbances of the peace caused by whiskey are rare indeed. Shall the gratifying condition of affairs continue in our county IS the question to be settled on the fifth of September If you favor its continu- ance vote against license.

 --Dr. C. l.. Kirkscey of Dover address ed the Illinois democratic club at the court house last Friday evening. Owing to the oppressive heat the crowd was not as large as was expected, but those at- tending heard good speech. The Dr talks democracy and expounds democrat ic principles in clear, practical and forceful manner. His reference to the pets of protection, the atrocious force bill and republican iniquity generally was strikingly effective and at times eloquent. His peroration to democracy's national slandard-bearer, Grover Cleve- land, started wave of enthusiasm which broke forth in uproarous applause. The club rendered vote of thanks to the speaker for his excellent address. At the next meeting of the club Hon. Chas. Reed, Morrilton's gifted young orator will deliver an address. The public gen. erally and the ladies especially are in- vited to be present.

 --Russellville has raised $1.000 for the purpose of sinking well to prospect for gas, etc. The DEMOCRAT says the sum subscribed will go down quite a distance, but overlooks the fact that the town has plenty of gas, natural gas, too, on the surface, which only needs some sort of condenser or reservoir to make it -Morrilton Headlight.
 The surface gas referred to by our es- teemed cotemporary is the kind he has been accustomed to and consequently it is quite natural for him to recommend it to his neighbors. And the suggestion would be most timely and appropriate did we possess the able array of "con densers" and "reservoirsn which are en- joyed by his town. In the absence of these necessary adjuncts, therefore, we are obliged to sink shaft in the good old way, and while it may be harder to get and cost more, we have this consola- tion if gas Is obtained at all, it will be worth more than the Morrilton article.
