 This is case of special interest, especially to the legal profession.
 The plaintiff sets forth that Chas. P. Thornton and Wm. Moody pat ented the "Eclipse Folding Wagon Step" and sold an undivided one- fourth interest to l.. Roth for 8l500. Mir. Roth paid $1,000 in cash, and gave his note for the $500 balance due. Thornton and Moody sold their interest in the invention to the Merchants & Planters Bank, and that institution came into pos session of the note executed by Mr. Roth.
 The bank is suing for the amount due on the note. Mr. Roth refuses to pay same because he alleges that the proper inducements are not on the instrument, the law providing that note executed to secure the payment of purchase money money for patent must say that it is for that purpose.

 Our township has gotten a good deal of free advertising on account of alleged election frauds. If we can't hold a family election without stealing from one another we had better do away with elections alto- gether and let a few selectour officers for us. We don't know that fraud was committed but the grand jury says so. We can't possibly see any harm to recount the ballots carefully and show to the people no fraud WAS done and cast this odium from us. Gentlemen the people all over the county are looking to you, Will you do the only straight thing? We shall see.

Corn is unusually fine and the cotton crop is showing up we'll The Lincoln county farmers have sown quite lot of wheat, thing on the program would be for some of the enterprising capitalists of Pile Bluff to put up a roller four ing mill, as most all the towns in northern Arkansas have done, and thereby promote an in dustry which would be mutually beneficial to the planters and the investors. For example we refer to Jonesboro, Mammoth Springs, Par agould and Batesville.
