Appointment of tin* county elec

lion. M. L. Arnold’s open let

defrauded him out of the nomina

1‘KPOON AS A HUMORIST.
The Hardy Herald, which was
until a few months ago, an ardent
worshiper at the Davis shrine, has
the following to say of future
events connected with that gentle
man's destiny. Wo were not
aware until now that Bro. Pepoon
was a humorist, but the following
proves that he is fully entitled to
that cognomen:
"In the coming senatorial cam- j
1 paign Governor Davis will arise
and address the audience as follows:
"Fellow citizens, I love and ad
mire an ox-Confederate soldier.
My name is .leif Davis and I am
| very much like the great Confed
erate President in all respects. If
Old Man Berry rwdly was a Con
federate soldier 1 would not oppose
him. But, ah my friends, Old
Man Berry never served a day in
the Confederate army. I have
here a letter from the Secretary of
A ar at Washington savinw the fed
} oral authorities there have no ree
| ord of the enlistment or discharge
of James If. Berry. Ah, my
friends, could Old Man Berry have
served a single day in the C’onfed
ei ate army without being either
enlisted or discharged i
“But Old Man Berry claims to
have lost his leg in battle. Ah, my
| friends, that is as false as the hot
end of hell itself. 1 hope the kind
; ladies present will pardon me if I
say its a damn lie. (G rent applause)
"No, my friends, Old Man Ber
ry hired a doctor to sav\ his leg off
in 1S71, that he might run for of
tiee as a one-legged soldier. Dare
! ()ld Man Berry deny it' Dare Old
Man Mitchell (the old hell-cat) de
ny it ( if he does he's a liar be
cause I have here the actual re
: ceipted bill of the doctor for saw
ing off Berry's leg. Ah, my friends
l am a stemwindcr when it comes
to presenting documentary evi
dence Here is the bill: “Benton
ville, Ark., April 1, 1871. .lames
11. Berry to Dr. Bills] inger, debt
or: To 5 visits and medicine /or
fever, $10.'" Ah m.v friends, you
will notice that the I»i 1 i says fever,
This was a sly trick to conceal the
real services of the doctor, which
was to saw Berry's leg off for po
litical purposes.
“Ah, my friends, 1 am trying to
beat this Old Man Berry. Won't
you hold me up 1 (Davis and the
audience weep.)
Then Senator Berry will speak,
and will produce 15,000 affidavits
of men who served four years with
him in the Confederate army and
who saw his leg shot off at Corinth
and the audience will yell “Hurah
for Jeff 1 )avis!
Every day Davis will repeat his
slanders of Berry, and every day
Berry will prove Davis a liar, and
thereupon the audience will yell
“Hurah for Jeff Davis!” The
I same thing happened this year;
; why not again in 10001”

believe the above prophecy will be

It is learned from tin? dispatches
that a valuable pearl lias been dis
covered in the Ouachita river, and
1 much excitement exists among the
farmers in the community where it
j was found. It is said that many
of them will engage in pearl hunt
ing. It is unfortunate for the
people of that vicinity. The pearl
fishyrs of Northeast Arkansas have
expended thousands of dollars for
every dollar secured in return for
their efforts. The public is quick
ly apprised of the valuable finds,
but it has no knowledge of the
time and labor lost by the hund
reds who never get anything. The
pearling crane has many of the ob
jectionable features of the mining
craze. Where a few arc benefited
hundreds are made poorer, and in
many instances reduced to absolute
want. We have it on good author
ity that on the upper Black river
whole families quit their farms
and took up the pearling craze.
Those who were unsuccessful nec
essarily suffered for food and rtiin
ment, and there were only a few
who did succeed. Arkansas Dem

The assertion that "the pearl
fishers of Northeast Arkansas have
expended thousands of dollars for
every dollar scoured in return for
their efforts." is misleading and
does the pearling industry and the
people engaged in it an injustice.
We have yet to hear of the lirst
man engaging in the business in a
business-like manner who failed to
make good wages, even if he never
found a pearl.

only works 18 days in a month, he
makes, at the lowest figures, $36
per month. It costs him less than
$40 to equip himself with a pretty
good outfit. When he finds a
pearl lie is just the value of the
pearl ahead of the game, for lie
has made reasonably good wages
from the sale of his shells, and
what he gets for his pearls is clear
profit, Its just like picking up
that much in the road. And the
man who follows the business two
months without making a pretty
valuable find is the exception and
not the rule.
The esteemed Democrat’s con
clusion that “the public is quickly
apprised of the valuable finds, but
has no knowledge of the time and
labor lost by the hundreds who
never get anything,“ is far from
correct. True, when a $1,000,;
$1,500 or $2,000 pearl is found by
some persevering individual, who I
is thus rewarded for having stuck
to business, the fact is soon known
over a good portion of the country. |

this value arc found almost every

friends. Finds of this value are
rarely made known through the
local papers in the community

The Democrat's knowledge is at

year, and the subsequent failure of

people found themselves in pinch

pearling industry afforded ready

would have actually suffered.
The fact of the business is. the
