In Behalf of the sunday school Cause.

TO the Township Vice-Presidents of the
County Sunday School Associations
An earnest, vigorous, Sunday school
campaign is urged upon you in each of
your townships. Let organization be
accomplished at every possible point in
your townships. Let no point in need
Of your services have reason to complain
Hof neglect Of your duties. Visit and en-
courage your schools and be sure you
get each one of them in condition to
make full report and have the report
made to the forthcoming session Of the
county association at Appleton in July
next. Let me urge yon again to put
forth every effort TO achieve success for
the cause of the Master in this depart
ment Of His work.
Copies Of the minutes of the last ses-
sion of the County Sunday school AS
ISOLATION held at Dover last July have
been furnished the following townships
Illinois, Gum Log, Dover, Valley, North
Fork, Griffin, Freeman and Martin. Ey-
cry Sunday school in the county is en-
titled TO copy and we are anxious to
put copy into the hands ofevery school
and to that end will every superintend-
ent of every school in the township, not
included In the above list, either come
in and get copy or send me his adj
dress. Yours in the work,

Can't. j. NJ. Harkey.

GAINESVILLE Herald-Journal Among
the representatives from this section of
the State in the late general assembly,
none were more attentive to their du-
ties than Senator J. NJ. Harkey. Mr..
Harkey was always conscientious and
just, meeting every question without
prejudice or passion, willing to let his
political future take care of itself. He
pursued liberal policy toward his
county, and upon all state matters the
selfish views Of the narrow demagogue
never governed him. His record is one
that no honest man need be ashamed of,
and to question the purity of his actions
is simply to brand the questioner as one
who is seeking political preferment for
either himself or friend. johnson
county has every confidence in Senator
Harkey and not one word of censnre
have we ever heard uttered against him
by any of his constituents in this COM
munity. He is one of the few men who
should be kept in the legislature, for the
reason that no man in the state is SO fa-
miliar with the financial questions that
come up bienially for discussion, and in
all matters of taxation he is equally at
home.

POPE COUNTY.
Russellyille, It's Live County Seat
Now Growing Into Importance
as a Coal Mining Center.

From the Kansas City Progress.
Russellville the county seat of Pope
county, which is probably the best town
between Van Buren, and Little Rock
is 25 miles below GAINESVILLE and half
way between Fort Smith and Little
Rock
The resources OF Pope county are.
coal, iron, lumber, grain, cotton and
fruit and though the development of
these are quite limited comparatively
speaking, all are growing and especial
ly the coal interests which are just now
feeling the energizing touches of for
eign capital. While the coal veins are
not so thick as in other places of the
State the quality is superior to any
other now found for domestic purposes,
and more nearly approaches the anthra-
cite variety than any other both in
hardness and quality in the State. The
fact is, it is almost equal to The genuine
Pennsylvania article, SO pure that when
placed in stove and fired it will swell
to more than double its original size,
and produce large mass of red heat,
which will last for hours, and bucket
full thrown in stove with the bottom
draught turned off will keep fire for sew
eral days.
This coal sells at four dollars ton on
board the cars here and the demand gem
orally exceeds the supply.
Russellville lies in the center of the
basin containing this coal which Is linn
tied in extent, comprising only an area
of3 or miles, as yet definitely known.
There are three measures, the first oc-
curing at depth of 26 to SO feet, the
vein being 20 to 80 inches, the second
40 feet below this contains 20 inch vein
and the, third 100 feet lower with 36
inch vein.
The following companies are mining
here: Ouita Coal Company, Gates 81
Eustis, Popkess & Anawalt, Carey, Serat
Bros, Broadwell, and Mathews.
Russellville is on the line of a rail-
road survey running from the north to
Hot Springs and as all this country
north and south is untouched by rail-
roads and Is rich in minerals and timber,
it is not improbably that railroad will
be built through here, which will make
IL a very important manufacturing and
commercial city, in which it already
ranks high, containing many large COM
mercial enterprises and numerous mills
and factories and is u yery prosperous,
we'll built, delightfully."- located, well APP
pearing place. 1t has a $4,000 public

Grand Lodge K. III. Of H.

Editor DEMOCRAT: The meeting Of
the grand lodge knights and Ladies Of
Honor ai Forrest City on the I'd inst,
was large affair Ashby lodge Of Rus
selIeiIle had two representatives, Bro,
HI. G. Wilkey, who was an officer Of the
grand lodge and your humble servant.
Forrest City, the little Q,teenshe is, laitf
herself ont in Nh entertaininent unsur-
passed aid indispensable, for royal hos
pitality and princely bounty was met on
every hand and she rose to the highest
level of any occafion and was magnifi-
cent hostess to splendid body..of, visitors.
IL was an inspiration to meet and mingle
In such relations. Not thing was want
ing to make the session pleasant sue
cess.
Forrest City lodge itself was equal to
an army with banners. In her member
ship she comprises an orchestra the like
OF which may be equalled but cannot
be excelled by another in the state. TN
der its touch new life got into "Auld
Lang Syne," and the proceedings in gem
eral. | said Forrest City lodge was
equal to an army with banners. Let me
explain At the last session of the
grand lodge as an inducement to work
the grand lodge offered silk banner as
a prize for the largest number of mem
bers initiated into any lodge during the
year, and Forrest CITY took the banner,
having issit.iss...;,,.. iorty-six beneficiary
r..s,yss..uDers in that time. Jonesboro came
second with thirty, and the proposition
was renewed for this year again and For
rest City lodge is in the ring again with
only one chance against her and that
is perhaps she has used up her material.
Don't you wish you could put her down
in our mi.sssse for while. Wouldn't we
hum.
Your scribe had the pleasure of meet
ing and passing in one Of Ashby's long
absent members, capt. Richards, who
by the way seems to have renewed his
youth with very little prospects of
benefit having to be paid on him for
yet. | also met his beautiful
daughter, Miss Annie, grown
to womanhood since she left us. | also
met Bro. w. w. Folsom of the Augusta
VIdette. let's derive that word Vidette
from one which means both eyes open
and then we will have Bro. Folsom de-
fined. 1t makes us think more of the
order to find him in it for we know that
was one case that wouldn't have to be
paid for in long time. He came after
the grand lodge and got it of course. So
next time we go to Augusta.
