were only trying to decide which
ONE LOOKED MOST ALIKE.
—One of our prominent mer
chants reports to us that in a ride
of twelve miles he found over
five hundred acres of new-ground.
This is in the river bottom. Sim
ilar reports come from other parts
of our county, and go to prove
that the farmers of Pope county !
are not slow to sec the drift of
events, and are hastening to
keep pace with other counties,
as they march onward and up
ward to meet tiie great future in
store for Arkansas.
—The Order of to-day.—This

—Give us a best.—There are
some newspapers in Arkansas,
which seem to make it their chief
syidy to see what t hey can find in ’
other newspapers to find fault
with. Their forte seems to be in
ventilating the faults and short
comings of other papers, just as
though the people cared anything!
; about the family quarrels of nows- ■
! paper editors. For our part we
j would feel exceedingly gratified
j if such newspapers could find |
something else to talk about—
surely they could not find any !
thing less palatable or edifying!
to their readers. Givens a rest;
on newspaper quarrels.
—Verih% Spring has come. The
lark has come forth, and his clar
ion notes sound joyfully as he i
soars away to meet the sun. “The j
swallow sings sweetly from her1
hole in the wall,” and the mock- j
ing bird in wonton sport runs thro’
all the varied notes of the feath
ered tribe; fount tins murmuring, j
I shed balmy essences on the air, j
which woo to slumbers; the sun
light bathes the hill tops with
floods of molten gold; the' soft!
breezes play in gentle dalliance j
! with flower and shrub, stealing’
' sweet odors at every touch.
: We ace the sweet daises come peep
ing;—
The rich peach-blossoms unfold,
And the gay oaI'eodils so slyly come
creeping—
From their retreat in the hard fro
zen mould.
Indeed, around Russellville ev
cry thing animate and inanimate
seem moved hy an instinct of
happiness.
FATAL AFFRAY.
Man Killed at Clarksville.
•
Fatal Finale of a Game of j
Cards.
From parties who came down 1
on the train last Tuesday morn
ing. we get a meager account of
another fatal affray at < .'larksville,
in which Mr. Geo. Blackburn was
killed by one Charlie McFadden.
it appears that the parties had
been engaged in a game of cards,
and Blackburn had quit one dol
lar winner, and had started off,
when McFadden demanded the
dollar back again. Blackburn
■ told him to come and get it; where
upon McFadden drew a revolver
and shot him dead upon the spot, j
McFadden, when he saw wlmt
lie had done attempted to flee, but]
was captured a few hours later!
and is now in custody of the ofb
cers of the law. We understand
. both parties reside in, or near
Clarksville, and McFadden has a
family consisting of wife aud two
child.ien.

Death.
ELECTED FOR THE DEMOCRAT BY MRS. M. 8.
Out of the shadow of sadness,
Into the sunshine of gladness.
Into the light Of to© bloat—
On! of the day very dreary.
Out of the world of the weary,
Into the rapture of rest.
Out of to-day’s sin and sorrow,
Into a blissful4.0-morrow,
Into a land without, gloom;
Out of a land filled with sighing—
Land of the dead and the dying
Into a land without tomb.
Out. of a land of commotion.
Tempest-swept a* the mad ocean,
Dire with the wreck drifting o’er,
Into a land calm and quiet;
Never a storm cometh nigh it—
Never a wreck on its shore.
Out of the land in whose bowers
J’crisb and fade all the flowers—
Out of the land of decay—
Into the Kdeu where fairest
Of flowers—and sweetest and rarest—
Never shall wither away,
Out of the world of the wailing.
Thronged with anguish and ailing,
Out of the world of the sad,
Into the world that rejoice*—
World of bright visions and voices—
Into the world of the glad.
Out of a life ever loncful.
Out of a land ever mournful,
Where in bleak exile we roam—
Into a joy-land above us—
Where there’s a Father to love ns—
Into “Our home, sweet, sweet home.”

Winter Amusements.
Poor old Winter is fast draw
ing his last breath;—and how
many mourners has he? Alas I
rear but few. But I love the grim
aid months. Yes, yes, winter has
its enjoyments, its entertainmcnts)
and its pleasures, as well as its
cold, storm, ice, and unbearable
long nights.
Then is the time for those good,
old fashioned eveuing visits. Not
for a little fashionable skip-in
and skip-out sort of a call, such
as we are accustomed to now-a
days, that begin with a “how do
ye do, dear. Such an age since
I've seen jour dear face!”—when
you know positively that you met
her “face to face” on the street
the day before;—and end with a
•do call again soon. 1 am
aver delighted to sec you.” And
then, before you have hardly .clos
ed the street door, conies such ex
pressions as “I do wish that wo
man would stay at btimvs I never
* * ,
think of snatching a quiet hour
to read, but in she comes, with
her never-ending gossip.” But a
real sit-down-talk, running over,
in a single sitting, half the inci
dents of ones life. How it revives
one to live over again those sacred
items of past years.
Winter brings us lectures, public
speeches of all kinds, dancing
parties, for those who love to
“tip the light fantastic toe,” long
sermons at church for the more
sober minds. It has also its out
dixir amusements. Ask the mer
ry skaters as they skim over the
clear sparkling ice, or the wooing
lover, as he takes his affianced to
follow the merry tinkling sleigh
bells, snugly tucked in their warm
robes, as they bound over the clean
scope of country, away from the
noise and din of the busy bustling
city; or that big schoolboy, as he
even throws aside his coat, in the
exe. ss of his eagerness to make
a “whopping big” snow ball to
give the teacher a “stunner” as
lie passes; or that little boy, who
even cried on the road to school
as he makes his spendid snow ea
nal, or slides down that nice long
hill on his line new sled (for the
sole purpose ot drawing it up
agafn,) that lie leased ‘‘papa"’ or
“inamina” about, a fortnight past.
—Ask these if winter is dull or
dreaiy. 1 think they will ail
agree with me, that it is just the
time for amusement. And then
there is reading, that most splen
did of all splendid amusements
for those splendid long evenings.
Oh, what a blessing! And how
thankful we should be that we
are enabled to study and learn the
thoughts of others through the me
dium of books and papers.

Better Times not far off.
Nokristowx, Ark., )
March 22d 1875.j
Mn. Editor: 1 am not one of
those beings who believe in su
perstitious old graveyard ghost
stories, and many traditional signs
and wonders that have been hand
ed down to us from our grand
fathers and grandmother*,1 as cer
tain fore-runners of some future
event. But 1 am a firm believer
in signs, notwithstanding, hut
tliev must be bused upon action,
and with this theory in view, 1 mil
of the opinion that better times
are not far off; and why? Because
the sign of better times is based
upon substantial visible action on
the part of the farmers at this
time. They are waking up from
their former lethargy to a realign
tion of the great truth that they,
and they alone, of all professions,
have it in their power (with the
help of Providence) to make times
better, and they are going to do
it; and how are they going to do
it? lty making their farms all
self sustaining and having a sur
plus of everything raised on the
farm to sell. But says objector,
who are they going to sell all this
surplus to; well r.ir, did it ever
occur to you that over half the
population of every country, on an
average, follows other professions,
and yet every one, from the least
to the greatest, must he supplied
by the farmer. Why sir, “The
farmer’s the chief of the nation.’’
But wi at’s the sign of better times
in Pope county? It is this, and is
based on action. The farmers
sowed more wheat last fall, more
oats in Fcb’y, than they ever have
done heretofore; and now the cry
with them is, where can I get
grass-seed? The cars are bringing
grass seed, the steamboats are
bringing grass seed; our farmers
are all preparing some select spot
for to sow their grass on. They
are going to sell you eggs, butter,
onions, tomatoes, beans, peas,
melons, squashes, cucumbers, po
tatoes, wheat, oats, corn, hay, and
not so much cotton; they are going
to pay cash for all they buy, and
expect cash for all they sell. Then
we will have plenty of money
and better times, which is not
far off in the future. Yours Truly,
Millet Seed.

Wonderful Discovery in the
Wilds of Pope County.
Norristown, March 20, 1875.
Mr. Editor:-—On last S-y
about 12 o’clock, noon, the trim
little steamer Ben Wood, partly
on a pleasure trip and partly on
the hunt of wood, landed here by
request, and took on your corres
pondent and several others of this
place, and then “lit out” for up
the river, shoving an immense, ug
ly barge ahead. We glided up the
river like a greased eel for about
five miles, when we discovered a
beautiful, clear little river, mak
ing in on the right. Capt. Joe
immediately turned the wheel to
the right, and ill five minutes
more we went steaming up Illi
nois Bayou. We went tip as far
as Horse Shoe bend, where the
barge was left for wood: U>e
steamer was then turned round,
and we run back to the mouth in
a short time; discovering the
truth, that Illinois Bayou is a
river, navigable for steamboats,
(if not too large). But, horror
of horrors, when we came to the
mouth a fearful storm was just
ahead, and Capt. Joe very wisely
tied up. In about ail hour it calm
ed down a little, Capt. Joe turned
loose, put her in the Arkansas riv
er, and in twenty-five minutes, I
was standing on the bank here,
watching a streak of smoke go to
Dardanelle. Yours,
Miluet Seed.
