The sale of land for delinquent taxes
will be Monday, the 18th day Of May.
We have not yet boon able to see the
delinquent list, as it is published in the
official journal for this county, which
is printed at Camden, in Ouachita
county, and we have not had a copy
of that sheet for two weeks. We don't
know who is to blame for its failure to
come to US, and we don't care much.
Ever since we have been trying to
publish summary of the legal adver,
tisements, we haze been unable 10 get
that paper with any thing like decent
degree of regularity. Wchad intended
to publish the six hundred dollar ad.
vert;sement gratis, il we could have
had il in time, and could have found
room in our columns for it. Though
thousands Of acres Of the land in our
county are advertised for sale for the
non-payment Of taxes, we have not the
least idea that three dozen copies of the
paper can be found in the whole county.
This little game of the plunderers,
however, has well nigh played out, and
after the next election, when the people
of the State once more take charge OF
their own little internal affairs, the in
fanny known as the printing bill will
be wiped from our statutes. But many
a carpet bag has already been filed.

Dom do it. Don advertise your
business; it's paying out money to
accommodate other people; if they
want to buy your goods, let them
hunt you up.


Don't advertise, for it gets your
name abroad, and you are apt to be
flooded with circulars from business
houses, and to be bored with "drum-
mers" from the wholesale establish
meats, all of which also results in
soliciting your orders for new goods.
and money to pay for them, which is
very annoying to one of dyspeptic
temperament


Don't advertise, for it brings peo-
pie in from the country, country
folks you know ere OF an enquir;Dg
turn of mind, and they will ask you
many questions about prices, try your
temper with showing them goods,
snd even vex you with the request to
tie them up; which puts you to sn
additional trouble OF getting more.


DON'T advertise; it gives people
abroad knowledge of your town,
and they come and settle in it; it will
grow, snd other business will be in
duced to come in and thus increase
your competition.


In short, il you would have quiet
town, not too large; il you would
not be harassed by multitu,iinous
cares and perplexities of business
If you would avoid being bothered
with paying for and losing time to
read great cumbersome newspaper
just remain quiet: don't let the peo-
pie know FIVE miles away where you
are, nor what you are doing, and you
will be severely let alone TO enjoy the
bliss of fundisturbed repose -Gdzs,te.

Most OF our Tennessee exchanges have
come to us, OF late, replete with denuncia-
tions. clothed IN more or less bitter terms,
applied to the Nashville Daiies, and we
have been asked why our voice has not been
raised, in chorus with the Outburst Of in
dignant protest. We have been silent be-
cause we have no right to denOunce any
man for legitimately exercising his unques
'tionable rights over his own property, and
because, however much We may feel the
loss of the exchange, we have too much
pride to show it by public exhibition. We
have frequently declined an exchange with
weeklies because they were not the sort we
cared to read. The right to do this, has
never been denied us, and if daily thinks
an exchange with weekly an unequal and
burdensome one, there is no legal nor moral
obligation demanding its continuance. As
a question Of right there is no room for
argument. As a question Of courtesy,
each one will argue it in accordance with
his own views and impulses; but it is not
for us TO probe the motives Of our Nash
vile contemporaries, nor to pass upon the
considerations which prompt their actions,
and hence our failure to Join in the cry
against them.

OWNING A HoME.-To a young
couple starting life, nothing is so
inspiring and conducive to success:
and happiness as the ambition to /.
own a home and be comfortably
settled in it. With this object i'll
view, many dollars can be laid aside
which would otherwise be spent in
frivolous enjoyment, and, too fire.
quently, in evening carousals away
from home, Wives can dispense
with many little needless luxuries
when they find that the money is
employed to pay for a home in
which their little ones will be COM
Portable and the family made happy.
Men will willingly toll harder when
they feel that their earnings are
being secured to benefit them in
their old age. In fact, men without
some object in life, soon become
worthless to themselves and socie-
ty. and there is no better ambition
than that which tends to benefit his
condition and family.

WHY HE WOULD Nor AccEPT.-The late Silas Wright, was rendered by Pres, Tyler. a place on the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States MT. Wright was waited on directly, says our authority, and the proposition laid before him. He was evidently gratitied and somewhat embarrassed. After few moments consideration, he said: My friend, you know cannot accept this generous offer. You know the Demo- cratic party, would not consent to my withdrawal from the political field. But I will say to you frankly that never ex. pected to be called upon to make so great a sacrifice in the interest of my party. It is the placeof all others to suit my taste and habits. In fact it is the only office that I ever seriously desired. The strife and turmoil of political life, especially in high party times, is uncongenial to me while the bench is precisely in ac- cordance with my views and wishes" He added: ' I think that by close apphca- tion and constant study might make myself equal to. the duties of the place. l am rather rusty in the law now, having been so long in public life. But ! am fond of the profession, and sometimes wish I had never left it. Exrress my thanks to the President for his kind offer, and tell him that circumstances prevent my acceptance of 1t. {"

FOXES AS SHEEP -HERDERs. The Stock ton (CaI) Republican vouehes fo- the following story People often wonder at the remarkable instinct displayed by well-trained shepherd dogs, but what will they say when we tell them of 8 band of sheep that is guarded by foxes alone. The story seems improbable, but of it's truth we have the most undoubted proof. On Whiskey hill, four miles from Milton, may be seen, almost any day, 8 large flock of sheep herded by foxes.

 These guardians of the little lambs are three in number-one a gray fox and the other two of the species known as the red fox. In point of intelligence these novel shepherds are said to greatly surpass the best trained shepherd dogs.

 They perform their work well, and from morning till night are ever on the alert. The gray one seems to control, and in a great measure direct, the actions of the Other two. A gentleman informs us that he yesterday saw the gray fox pursue and attack hog that had seized lamb and was making off with it. The contest was short and sharp, and resulted in the hog dropping the lamb and beating a nasty. retreat. The fox picked up the apparently un-injured lamb and carried it back to the flock.

COLLECTING DEBTs.-An enterprising citizen of Cincinnati has undertaken to collect old debts in new way. He has established an agency for the benefit of creditors who meet with difficulty in procuring settlements of their little bill, and for the accommodation of his dun ming agents he has had constructed a gaily painted wagon bearing in bold let ters the legends, Protection Agency" ," and "Bad Debts Collected" In this wagon he placed two burly collectors, one to drive and the other to present the bill, both armed. When the wagon stopped before door a crowd was pretty sure toicollect, if the agent did not; and everybody in the neighborhood of the debtor was made aware that somebody held bill against him that he was not disposed to pay. The scheme appears to have worked without trouble in Gin cinnati but when its originator extend ed his sphere of operations to Coving- ton, on the Kentucky side of the Ohio, the collector was fined fifty dollars for carrying concealed weapons, and i'm mediately afterward arrested for provok- ing breach of the peace. In the trial of the first case the Court decided that it is unlawful to compel the payment of a debt by force or violence, or by ex- posing the debtor to infamy, contempt, or ridicule in the community.

True to the prognostics of the buffalo, Win ter has made it's boisterous debut.

 Without wishing to divine the Winter now pending, says a scientific journal, 1t may be instructive to note that the computations of the greatest living scientists give us some general idea of it's probable character. The severest and most intense frost seasons have long since been demonstrated to recur in supra annual cycles of eleven years. Responsive to the mysterious vertical spots which freckle the face of the sun and have been compared to terrestrial cyclones, the temperature of our planet is exposed to the passage of vast cos. mical heat-wave, followed closely by cold wave, coincident, respectively, with the in- crease and decrease of the sun-spot cycle. Depending on the results of the most carefully observed eleven year periods the conclusion now reached by physicists is that we passed through the center of cold-wave of minimum temperature last Winter and are now emerg- ing from it. The inference would in this case be that we may anticipate 8 severe, early Winter, but one of moderate duration and de- clining rigor. It should be added, however that there has been noticed one variation from the rule, which was very marked, and occur red in 1885, -'3G, which occupied relation to the cold-wave precisely similar to that occu- pied by 1872-'73 to the cosmical phenomenon of last year. In the Winter of 1885, '36 the Hudson River was closed to navigation one hundred and twenty five days---the longest ice- blockade which occurred in period of fifty years. If the law of climatic cycles now an- nounced by meteorologists holds good we shall have another severe and protracted Winter about 1879, but, by parity of reasoning, it is possible and probable, we may expect in the latter part of the Winter great precipitation oi snow and unusually severe storms. At any rate every endeavor should be made to supply the poorer classes of the country with abun. dance of occupation, that they may have it r their power to avert the calamities of the sea son. While with reason hoping for the best let every one prepare for the worst.

Just at the present the thoughts of our fair belles are turned longingly to- ward evening costumes, the ball seasor having already commenced. And never was beauty destined to look lovelier than when draped in the beautiful materials which are now displayed for evening toilettes. Silks of the palest and most delicate tints; grenadines light as 8 cloud, with their white grounds scat tered over with small sprays of satin flowers; fold of julie in every new and choice color; and tarletans daintly em- broldered. Then for garniture we have exquisite laces, garlands, the most ele- gant flowers, and various trimmings of the material itself.

 The high and low corsage will both be worn, as most becomes the wearer. Many dresses of rich material. as heavy silk or velvet, have trained skirt with out trimming or oyerskirt; the corsage in this case is always out with hasques whether high or Qecoliete.

 Lace or Swiss overdresses will be much worn and form valuable additions to a lady's wardrobe, as they may be worn with almost any dress and give dressy effect to an otherwise plain toilette.

 Even a black silk, with pretty Swiss overskirt made with bretelles, is trans formed into neat and often charming toilette suitable for small gathering. High necked over-dresses of grenadine are worn over low corsage of silk. A beautiful dress of this style was of pink silk, with long plain skirt and low waist cut with points both back and front. The overdress of white grena- dine striped with pink and brocaded with pink rosebuds, was cut high, the neck being coeug, and finished with a rlching of pink silk and white lace frill. The sleeves reached to the elbow, and were finished with frill of deep white lace. A broad sash of black vel vet, which looped the overskirt, and was loosely knotted upon one side, gave 8 piquant air to the whole costume. The hair was dressed very high in front, with loose coil at the back, from which de- pended two braids tied with black vel vet bow. A cluster of pink flowers was placed in front.

 A lovely dress of pale green tarletan had also black velvet sash and pink flowers for garniture.

 The trained skirt was trimmed with { series of narrow founces, cut in points at the edge. Each founce was gathered and formed it's own heading.-New Yoyl Fashion Journal.

How TO DREss.-Some one has wisely remarked that the best dressed person in room is that individual whose dress IS never noticed. To have an individuality of ones own quite independently of ones toilette is certainly always desirable, un- less one is willing to be walking adver- tisement of the latest style in dry goods. Bright, f1ashy colors should never be worn upon the promenade. A dark dress may be relieved of sombrencss by bright flower in the hat or light nccktie, but the prevailing tone of "a true lady's costume is always quiet. In this season black has always been q popular color for dresses. A black dress, tastefully made and trimmed, is never out of place for all ordI- nary occasions. And those ladies whose wardrobes are unlimited should take care to have always on hand one or two service. able dresses of black silk, mohar or al- paca.
