Newspaper Changes.

The pure ozone of the Ozarks was too much for our friend o. c. Ludwig and he has thrown up his lease of the Fayetteville Sentinel. We understand he will locate at Benton, Saline County. I. NJ. Partridge, formerly connected with the paper, and J. H. Pollard, who has had charge of the Domo- crat at this place for two years past, have leased the paper, as suming control this week. Mir. Pollard will move his fam fly down as soon as he can secure a home.
 Our relations with Mir. Pol lard during his stay in Spring dale have always been of a pleasant character, and we cer- tainly have nothing but good wishes tor him on his departure for a broader field. He is a clever writer and we believe will be more successful at Fay etteville than he was here. His heart will be in the work and his surroundings will be more congenial.
 We understand attorney J. l.. Long has leased the Demo crat at this place and will take charge next week. He will be assisted by Jas. R.

It was below zero all day Sunday, and but few people ventured out. church and Sun day school at the different churches being poorly attend ed. Monday it began modera- ting, however, and by Tuesday it was warm and pleasant, be ing 3S degrees above zero Tues day afternoon. ''The oldest inhabitant' says this is the coldest weather eyer eXperi- enced in this section, and we have as yet found no one who can remember of the thermom- eter ever registering twenty de- grees below zero before. So far as we have been able to as- certain, but little damage was done.
