—Mr. James Shinn has handed
us a sample of White Norway
oats grown on his upland farm
about three miles from town. They
are certainly as fine as could be
desired. The straws average 0
feet long and the heads will aver
age 20 inches. This is perhaps
better than the whole tield would
average, although Mr. S. assured
us he could have picked speci
mens which would have excelled
the ones handed us.
—Our vicinity was visited by
a refreshing shower last i^unday
evening and night. It had been
just three weeks since we had
had any rain sulllcient to wet the

\ ting exceedingly dry and dusty.
Monday morning the atmosphere
was fresh and cool, and from the
| appearance of the clouds we think
our friends in the north-western
and northern part of the county
also got a good rain. The corn
and cotton crops will be greatly
—Mr. Cyrus Ewing lias sent us
specimens of grasses grown on his
farm about 31 miles east of town.
The samples include timothy, red
top, white clover and Kentucky
blue grass, and any body who
will look at these specimens can
doubt no longer as to the capaci
ty of our soil to produce line
. grasses and pasturage. Parties
, who have been accustomed to
I grasses, who have seen these
samples, say that they are about
as good as the average of any
country. Wc arc proud to see
these experiments being made,
and wc have little doubt but in a
few years there will be a complete
' revolution in the old style of farm
ing in this country, and one, too,
’ which will add new lift? and uu
1 precedentcd prosperity and re
munerativeness to the agriculture
1 of our country.
—Farm Specimens.—Wc have
been shown some specimens of
1 grain grown by Mr. A. W. Matth
' i ews, some 8 miles south-east of
^ here. One sample of Foultz!
wheat with heads from 4 to 64
inches long is very heavy and
s well filled and will yield 15 to 20
> bushels per acre. Another sam
. pie of Closon’s Red Chaff White
. wheat, the largest white wheat
: known to oor farmers here, is the
finest we have seen. The heads
of a uniform length ot about 6
inches and the yield will be 25 to
. 30 bushels. This is said to be
f a hardy variety. Another sample
> I of common May' wheat is aiso
very good and is good for 14 to 1C
j bushels per acre. The latter was
grown by Mr. F. C. Falls. Sir.
j j Matthews also sends along a sam
j! pie of timothy which Is hard for
any country to beat. The heads
vary from GA to 12 inches in
'' length and the yield is two tons
* per acre—on good land it would
be three tons. The samples will
L' be sent to Geo. E. Dodge, our
c Centennial Commissioner. Our
1 farmers should emulate Mr.
Matthews’ example and show
f what can be done in our country.
9 —Phot. Haddock’s School.—
f The closing exercises of this
‘ school were had last Friday even
ing at the school house in the
1 eastern part of town, and attract*
1 ed a large crowd of spectators.
* In the out-set Prof. Haddock
stated that the exercises were not
n prepared or intended for a public
r exhibition, but that they were
V nothing more than the usual Fri
n day Rhetorical* which he has in
- connection with his school.
I The programme was not lengthy,
' but was livelt and got off with
'* dispatch and eclat sufficient to
II keep the audience in a mode of
s good humor and keen attention.
The little ones, especially, went
through with their part with a
very creditable degree of prompt
>’ ness and accuracy. The singing
if by Miss Florence Pruitt and Miss
Maggie Miller was well timed and
, | very sweet.’
’ Mr. 1 a wren c.o Russell, in sev
’ j oral declamations displayed a de
* gree of oratieal {lowers, which if
n j cultivated, will make him a tell
(,; ing speaker. The exercises clos*
led about 10 o’clock and the audi
ence dispersed in the very best of
humor, and favorably impressed
with the discipline of the school. •
RETRIBUTION.
VTTEMPTED RAPE UPON
A YOUNG LADY OF DO
VER, BY A DEMON IN
The shape of a
NEGRO MAN.
Swift an«l Fearful Retribution
Visited niton the Villain by
the Indignant Brother
and Friends of the
Youug Lady.
From Post Master Kircliof of
Dover, who was in town Tuesday,
we learn the particulars of a de_
Movable affair which occurred at
that place early Monday morning
which had a most tragical ending.
In the suburbs of the town, in
a small cottage lives Mr. Russ
Tucker, who lias a family of wife,
son and two daughters living at
home. About four o’clock Mon
day morning Mr. Tucker and
his son were aroused from their
sleep by the screams and shrieks
jf one his daughters. Pushing
Lo the sleeping apartment of the
young ladies, Mr. Tucker found
that their room had been invaded
by a negro man of notoriously
bad character and that the demon
had attempted to offer violence to
the person of one of the daughters.
Upon the appearance of Mr.
Tucker the negro fled and was
pursued closely by Tucker who
soon alarmed others. The chase
was short and the negro, John
Hogan, by name, was soon captur
ed; his pursuers never having
lost sight of him, we understand,
from the time he left the house.
Quickly and silently a rope was
procured and after marching John
to the woods a few hundred yards
UUIU uv fl M ”"0 I
after a few struggles the life ol
the reckless, desperate man was
ended. Thus in less than an
hour the devilish deed attempted
by this most unfortunate wretch
brought swift retribution upon
his head, and the rising sun
found the town as quiet and calm
as though nothing had occurred,
few of the citizens being aware ol
what was going on.
The negro was a most abandon
ed wretch, his brutish propensi
ties having led him to attempt
similar offences as many as three
different times before this Iasi
and fatal scene. While the whole
community feel relieved and
breathe easier at being freed from
the presence of such a lustful,
daring character as was John Ho
gan, and while everybody agrees
that he richly merited the punish
ment he received, there is a leel
ing of the most profound and al
most universal regret at the man
ner in which his punishment was
met d out, and there is no doubt
had some of the older and more
cool headed citizens of Dover been
cognizant of the transaction in
time, they would have prohibited
the young men from committing
the rash and grave act of taking
the law into their own hands.
Later.—Coroner Langford has
held an inquest over the dead
body of John Hogan, and the
verdict of the jury is that the de
ceased came to liis death by hang
ing by the neck with a rope, and
at the hands of H. II. Povnter
Anderson Morgan and James
X UC IVVi .
There was no attempt made tc
conceal the names of the parties
engaged in the affair, in tact, wc
understand they themselves re
ported the fact.

retary, for the purpose of electing
officers for the society. Man)
very valuable suggestions wer<
made by Messrs. L W. Davis

Wood, C. K. Tobey and others

townships of the county savt
three, and this at a time whei
farmers are all very busy, show!
clearly that the people of l’opt
county are wide awake in regarc
to the subject of immigration.
After some very interesting re
marks from the gentlemen present
Judge L. W. Davis was elected m
president of the society, M. 11
Baird secretary, and It. B. Bank
in treasurer, 'lhe chairman tliei
called tlic president elect tc hii
seat, who, in his usual pleasarr
way, thanked the delegates for si
much honor and promised to usi
his every effort to make the meet
ings pleasant and instructive,—
proposing to furnish to each town
ship blanks to enable them t<
facilitate their work.
A motion then prevailed tha
the president, secretary and treas
urer appoint a vice president- fo
each township, whose duty i
should be to organize township!
by calling meetings as early ai
convenient and elect officers t<
gather information and report ti
the county meetings.

For said committee he appointed
Messrs. C. E. Tobey, Rev. M.
Oates, J. E. Bafctenfiekl and M. ll.
Roys.
M. B. Roys then presented some
fine specimens of red top, timothy,
white clover and Kentucky blue
grass that had been grown near
town.
The question for meeting then
came up and after some discus
sion the society voted to meet at
Dover on Saturday July the 10th,
after which there would be a reg
ular monthly meeting at places
in the county where it will be
most beneficial. Some sugges
ted that the next meeting alter
the one at Dover be held at Atkins,
no dissenting voice. A motion
prevailed that the Russellville
Democrat be requested to pub
lish the proceedings of this meet
ing.
On motion the society adjourn
ed to meet at Dover, Saturday Ju
ly 10th, 1875.
L. W. DAVIS, President,
M. II. Baird, Secretary.
Card from President Davis.
To the Citizens of the different
Townships of Pope Co.:—
Quite a number of the citizens
met at the town of Russell
ville on the 26th of June and or
ganized a County Immigration
i Society, and appointed the first
! meeting at Dover, on the 10th day
I of July, 1875. There was ap
pointed at the time of the organ
ization one vice president for each
township, and it is earnestly
hoped that the said vice presi
dents will nrirnnize their resnent
| ive townships, which organization
; will be complete by electing a
secretary. The object of these
organizations is the better to col
lect and ascertain information of
the resources of the county, and
it is hoped that when the society
meets at Dover on the 10th day of
July that each township will be
represented by its vice president
and a large number of its citizens,
and that the vice presidents will
be prepared to report to the so
ciety the number of acres of
land in the township, number of
acres in cultivation, the amount
in wheat this year, amount in corn,
amount in cotton, amount in grass,
the total amount of land in culti
vation. It is also very desirable
that any other matter peculiar to
the township be reported; such as
deposits of coal or iron or any
other mineral, also streams of wa
ter, if any, in the townships, and
whether on said streams arc lo
cated any mill-sites. Also please
report timber of different kinds
in each township.

as followsPope 10,000; (Jonwav 9,000; Yell
13.500, Johnson 10,000. They also possess
good educatioual facilities iu the way of
numerous
Schools—&—Academies.
The various Christian denominations arc
ffril represented, and there are also numer
ous lodges of Masons, Odd Fellows and
Good Templars, all in an active and flour
ishing condition. There is also a live, wide

Parties wishing to purchase lands thro’
this agency, will place in this office a des
