I Barker, June 2, 1890. Messrs. Editors will write a few dots to The Democrat and give the many readers of your valuable paper a little news from the southwestern part Of old Arkansas. Red river has been higher this season than it has been since the year 1849; hundreds of families had to move out of the bottoms and get homes in the hills; no farming in the bottoms to any hard times on the farmers in bottoms of Red, river. We had the heaviest rain of the season last Saturday; great damage was 'done to the crops.

i Times are lively here now, the whole country is full of candidates who are around talking to the: people for their rotes; at the coming election, I mean primary elections which decide the cases with so many who seek the same office. This county goes democratic by a large majority and I think that will be the Case- all over the whole country. I find a great manyj old Tar-heels in this section of Arkansas. I am well pleased with this country and I hope and trust that the day is not! far distant when we will see some good democrat get to be President of again. I will try and' per once a month.

Dec. To Confederate Veterans7 Associations tiie Various Counties. Oomraaes: We desire to call your attention to the provisions of our constitution, directing that the annual elections for officers shall take place on the I 4th day of July in each year. We earnestly hope that there will be a large attendance of veterans ut the court house (unless other place of assembly shall be designated), in each county at 12 o'clock on that day, and the regular organization continued and strengthened. If the meeting shall have been arranged: for another day, or shall not be held on the 4th of July, it is not material, provided the veterans shall surely be called to gether at some time, The executive committee have deter- mined to wait no longer for adequate subscriptions, but boldly to assume the responsibility of opening a Soldier's Home for the care of such of our needy.

deserving comrades as require to be sup ported by charity. At present it is prob able that the hotel building at Ridge way, donated by Col. Heck; will be too large for our immediate purposes, anq we may begin in a smaller way at Raleigh, or some accessible locality. For the support bf this Home, we throw ourselves upon the abounding charity of the people of North Carolina1 and we appeal particularly to the mem bers of the Confederate Veterans' Asso- ation to see that proper interest is enkindled in every town and township in the State. I I I I We respectfully invoke the aid of the women of North Carolina, foremost in every work of love kindness, and we iask that the Veterans' Association of .1 ii I i each county constitute a central committee of ladies not! less than five in evepy county town in the State.

jThe names of the members of the committee, I' li particularly the chairman, should be; for warded at once to Mr. W. C. Stronach, Secretary, Raleigh, who will correspond with the committee concerning the! method of raising funds for the, sup port of the Home. I J.

Flat Greek News. Jtjpiter, Nil June 7, 1890. Messrs. Editors: In our Flat Creek section corn is looking very fine considering the i attention! it is receiving from the farmers. King Tobacco has drawn the attention; from nearly all other products, and i the crop that is most essential to sustain life is fast being neglected.

The farmers of this section are putting out an unusually large crop of tobacco. The wheat crop is hardlv an average but it is generally believed will be of good quality as to plumpness and soundnessjof grain. The Alliance crop is good and oh the increase and also of fen average quality. I notice in some patches there is a poison plant springing up that is calculated to damage the crop, called politics; but I trust it will be cultivated in such manner that this plant will and if it is you can crop by November. be smothered! out, depend on a full But the most excitement or gossip of the day that this section has undergone lately was caused by a fox race the jboys had on last Sunday.

Of course we christian people don't commend them for se- lecting the Sabbath nevertheless it was Finley White, James I for their fun, but the case. Messrs Hunter, Jas. Peek, Columbus Hunter composed the party and T. F. Hunter They started Ion a cold trail here in this; neighborhood and ran away up in the mountains of Reems Cjreek.
