 To get the full proceedings of the Washington county circuit court last week ole had to be q reader of both the Fayetteville Democrat and the Springdale News. The News reported the whisky cases against certain Fay etteville druggists which the Democrat overlooked, while tie Democrat noted the cases against two Springdale druggists which the News failed to mention. Whether this was an exchange oi left-handed compliments or Ill occurrence ef eoineident forget fitness, should =eharitably pass as matter for conjecture. Huntsville Democrat.
 The News made no mention of the cases against the Spring dale druggists for the reason that we were familiar with the circumstances and knew there was no intent to violate any law, and possible the same reason might apply to the Fayetteville Democrat, although as to that We are not prepared to say. lf the Huntsville Democrat has not done the same thing It is prob ably the only newspaper i'll exist ence with such q record
 The News received very pleasant visit Saturday afternoon from John PoSton. who is well remembered by the oId-timers of Sprlngdale, as he was the first agent of the Frisco railroad It this place. He came here soon after the building of the road through the town, about the year 1881. The editor of this paper was d small shaver" then, and was playing the devil" in the office of the Sprlngdale Enter prise, which was the first news paper the town ever had, and was published by o. C. Ludwig now secretary of state. Tom Evans was the foreman of the office. and We remember an inei- dent that happened away back there which may be told now without violating any print shop rules. It was just about this season ot the year, and the "boss' had gone away to attend a meeting of the Arkansas Press Association, leaving the two of us to get out the paper. We were getting along tannously, and on press day went over to the express office to get the pat ent inards,' but as they came C. 10. D. Agent Poston refused to turn them over to us without the cash, and as neither of Us had It we simply suspended operations uufil fba return Df the editor
