< oniiminication* intended for the Editor
of till* department should be addressed to
him at Norristown, Ark. __
To Our Farmers.
Every farmer should take, pay
for and read one, two, or three
good papers. “Knowledge is
power,” and how can we obtain
that knowledge so much needed
so easily as by reading the papers.
It is true it must be taken in bro
ken doses, but that is rather a
recommendation to the working
man. Allow us to urge upon
every farmer to subscribe for at
least one paper. Every head of a
family in Pope should take the
“Democrat,” and every farmer
should take in addition, the “Ar
kansas Grange.” If wc were ad
dressing the people of Johnson
we would say support your county
paper, take the “Van-Guard” and
“Grange.” If addressing the
people of Conway wc would say
take the “State” and “Grange.”
They arc devoted to your inter
ests and you cannot do a better
thing than to “cling to those who
cling to you.” It will pay in
dollars to every farmer who has
anything to sell or to buy for he
will be sure to know the prices,
and, better still, the paper is a
school teacher in every family.
Children will soon learn to take
up the paper, learn to rend, learn
to think, and thereby become bet
ter men and women. Read the
following extracts from the L. R.
Grange:
Speculators read of some ad
vance in produce and then go into
the country and purchase before
farmers hear of if, thus mnkiug
the latter’s ignorance pay them
handsomely.
Merchants, mechanics, profes
sional men, all have their special
journals which they rend atten
tively, so that they may be posted
iu their respective business, but
farmers are self-suflieieut and
therefore fall easy prey to those
better informed people with whom
they deal.
No paper can suit all sections
of this large country, and our
people, having first learned that it
is necessary to take a paper at all,
will finally recognize this fact,
anil agree with us that the cheap
est and best paper for them is
that which is published at home,
even if it is not so low in price
nor so large in size as some others,
published at a distance.

STATE NEWS.
Fayetteville Democrat: Mr. R.
Rodgers of this county, presented
us an excellent “home made”
broom this week, which beats any
eastern made brooms that are
shipped to this market. It was
made by II. L. Crouch, than
whom a better broom maker nev
er twisted a wire. Good, clean
house-keepers we leave the sub
ject with you.
Rentonville Advance: The to
bacco of Renton county is now be
ing cut and housed, and promises
a much larger and better yield
than was generally expected.
The weather for the past 6 weeks
has been all that could be wished
—warm days aud cool nights
with heavy dew. Benton will
market this year from 1,000,000
to 1,200,000 pounds of the weed,
which should at present prices
bring into the county something
like <100,000. This with our ap ,
pies, wheat, bacon, lard, castor
beans, Ac., Ac., will make our ex
! ports amount to about a quarter
' of a milliou dollars this year.
Arkansas Sentinel: James 11.
Van lloose showed us Tuesday, a
sweet potatoc which grew in his
garden, and is an excellent speci
men for a town man. It was of
the Cuba yam variety, aud weigh
ed six pounds.
Jackson port Herald: There is
a negro man living in this town j
who has just married his third
wife, and* they are all living to i
day in the county. Seems the!
grand jury might develop a case
if they would take the trouble to
investigate this one.
Van Buren Press: How about
the Gazette’s cucumber, from
Lewisburg, weighing sixtv
pounds?
Lewisburg State: Well, this is
all we know about it: J. T. Han
uaford raised it, T. B. Stout sent
it to T. B. Mills A Co., aud the
Gazette made mention of it. It
mo weigh sixty pounds, and when 1
you have digested that, prepare
to swallow another ten or lil'teen
pounds heavier that that! Han
nuford lias it. Let no one forget
that Lewisburg is in Conway
County; and that the State is pub
lished there; aud the County is
rather noted for big things.
Helena Weekly Mail, Sept. 18:
A difficulty occurred on Friday
evening, on the Old Town road,
this side of the Pillow Lake Place,
between three colored men named
Abe Smith, Henderson Rhodes
and Wm. Morton, in which the
latter was knocked in the head
with a wagon standard, in the
hands of Rhodes, from the effects
of which he died ou Saturday
morning. The sheriff' went out
yesterday evening, as soon as the
news reached him, to arrest Smith
and Rhodes, but up to the time
of writing the sheriff had not re
turned. The quarrel grew out of
an old feud.
Ft. Smith Independent: We
have two of the largest pears that
ever grew on a tree in this section
of the country, or any otuer, we
reckon. One weighs twenty-seven
and a half ounces, and the other
nineteen. They grew on the farm
of Mr. Mitchell, living two miles
from Charleston, Franklin couuty,
and about twenty three miles from
this place. .They are “whoppers,”
and the old gentleman calls them
the Rebel pear.
Clarendon Age: On last Sun
day, while deputy sheriff Daily
was feeding the prisoners in the
county jail, two of them, George
Dennis, (confined for a petty of
iense,) and Sam. Dockery (in jail
for stealing a horse in Jefferson
county,) made an attempt to es
unpc. n ucu iui. x'u11v
the door of the cell, in which they
were confihed, they shoved the
shutter violently against him, and
rushing out knocked the deputy
down and escaped through the
door and ran towards the woods
east of town, George Dennis made
good his escape. Daily tried to
shoot them, but his pistol failed
to fire, and being compelled to
lock the door before he gave pur
suit, Dockery got a splendid start,
but was followed by Mr. Smith,
who came up with him just as he
attempted to get over the fence
next to the woods, but Smith
knocked him down with a brick
bat and again with a pole. Daily
came up by this time, and as
Dockery still showed fight knock
ed him down with his pistol and
returned him to his old quarters.
Dockery stole a horse some time
ago from a negro in Jefferson
county and was captured near
here, lie had tied the horse out
and let it starve to death, before
he was at rested. Dockery and
Dennis are both intensely colored.
Dockery’s head is considerably
battered. Daily’s face looks like
he had been where there was a
good deal of prancing around
lately. Both are able to eat their
rations.
Highlander: We regret to
learn of a serious accident which
occurred to our esteemed friend
11. F. Maggard on Saturday last.
He had descended into his cistern
for the purpose of repairing a leak,
after having accomplished his
work he requested the persons on
top to draw him up and when
near the top the tenon on the
windlass wrenched off precipitat
ing hint to the bottom of the cis
tern a distance of about fifteen
feet. The broken windlass fell
heavily upon him breaking his
left leg below the knee joint,
spraining his right ankle, break
ing his right collar bone and one
or two of his right ribs. He w as
obliged to remain in that condi
tion until the neighbors could be
called to his relief. Dr. W. C.
Wilson was called and success
fully set the broken bones; Doc
tor Kouth we learn is now treating
him. At lust accounts he was
doing well. We hope for his
speedy recovery.
Hurrying down Jefferson-nve.
yesterday to the depot a man
struck a heap of peach skins and
feli on his beam-ends, and rolled
over twice before he stopped. A
boj-, standing in the centre of the
street, anxiously inquired: “He
you hurting for anything Mister?”
“Come here, bub,” said the man
as he sat up, “come here and get
10 cents, and some candy and figs
and plums and juba-puste! That’s
a good boy, come and see me.”
“Your intentions may be good,”
replied the boy as he backed off,
“but 1 guess I’ll wait until the
other booting gets over aching'•
before 1 get any nearer.”
Our two devil's had a serious
misunderstanding the other day.
After the heat of the conflict had
subsided, aud the junior devil had
found safety in flight, in the calm
retirement of a neighboaiug alley
he set his mind to work to evolve
a plan of dire revenge. In the
course of the day the following
vindictive conundrum was posted
on the galley-rack by the malevo
lent disciple of Faust. The bud
of the young man’s hate bad rip
ened into fruit. “What is the
difference between something that
is useful in washing type, and
Fred's ease? Answer.—One is a
pot of lye, and the other is a lot
of pi.” *
“Spelling isn’t my profession;
one man cant do everything.
What’s printer for? If a printer
can’t spell he’d better quit his
business” is the line of nVgumrnt
adopted by Joaquin Miller, when
a cold, unfeeling critic ridicules
his orthography.
In reply to a young writer who
wished to know, which magazine
will give ine the highest position
quickest?” a contemporary advis
es “a powder magazine if you
write a fiery article.”
A circus tiger is roaming
around Brazil, Ind., and men who
never stayed at home an evening
since they can remember, are now
to be found in the bosom of their
families every night.
The Easton Free Press says
that Joshua was the first man
who ever stopped a newspaper.
He stopped the daily sun. We
suppose he did so because the
war news did not suit him.
The New York critics are rather
severe on Mr. Woods new drama
“The Mighty Dollar.” Thev can’t
see any cents in it.
A Council Bluffs doctor hangs

If a man won't act on the square
