The Russellville Democrat., 1875-04-22

May we not expect the frienGs of this paper to make an earnest, uni-8 ted effort to extend greatly it's circu- lation and thus help to increase it's influence. We will literally re- ward those who work for us. Read CT, can you not form a club in your neighborhood and secure this sew ing machine premium. A few hours of well-directed effort will obtain 1t. Postmasters ill the smaller towns and villages can, with a little thought and effort, easily send us the requisite nnmber of names. Has the parsonage q sewing ma chine? If not, call upon few la dies and gentlemen of the congre- gation. Tell them your plan and ask them to help. In the congrega- tion 30 names can with little diffi- culty be secured. Send us the $75 and we will forward for one year this paper to each of the 50 subscrib- CTS, which will pay them the full value of their Subscriptions, and ill addition, we will make present, to any person you may designate, of beautiful sixty dollar Sewing Machine. How easily club can be formed in the Masonic or Odd Fellows or Temperance Societies or in the Grange? Is there not de- pending upon your society some poor widow to whom sewing ma chine would be for years to come a blessing? Pass the subscription paper. fifty persons subscribing for this journal at S1.50 each, will secure for themselves, without any extra change, the paper for one year and a most valuable present for some needy family. Try it, friends. Don't wait! Begin the work at once. Send us word that you have undertaken the formation of such club.
 Remember, the machines are war ranted to be perfectly new, latest improved, and in perfect order.

A Few Words of Wisdom from
 Rev. A. R. Winfield.

EDITORS GAZETTE: You were kind enough to quote my jocular remark to the legislature, to wit; {;
 "That Arkansas has the laziest men in the world" Well, I don't propose to take that back-for it is too true-but I don't want the remark confined to any class or locality, but to all, whether in city, town, village or county. Our people are neither industrious or thrifty, but indolent and extrav- agant. A want Of enterprise characterizes our entire people. True, we have had most miser- ably managed government, and a fearful and devastating drought visited many portions of our

THE POST OFFICE ROB-
 BERRY.

The robbery which was perpe- trated upon the Post Office at this place last Sunday night a week ago, but which has been kept quiet by request of the Post Mas ter in hopes of gaining some clue that would lead to the apprehen- sion of the thief, is still vailed in mystery. It was at first supposed that the thief had entered the Post Office at the front door by means of key made for the purpose; but subsequent investigation proves that the entrance was effected by forcing the bolt at the back door, which gave admittance to a back room. The door which led from this room to the Post Office was then opened by chiseling around the bolt. The thief, whoever he was, was evidently well acquainted with the premises and the situation of the desks and money drawer for nothing was molested except the drawer containing the money and registered package. About $20 in money and some registered matter was abstracted from the drawer, which was locked again.
 Suspicion rests strongly upon a youngster of doubtful character by the name of Barnwell, who has since sloped from the country.

ATTENTION CHANGERS.

We are now prepared to furnish the DEMOCRAT and the St. Louis Midland Farmer both, twelve months for the small sum of one dollar and seventy-five cents.

A MAGNIFICENT OFFER,

A very liberal contract, which we have just completed with the Weed Sewing Machine Company, will en- able us, we hope 10 place their cell ebrated machine in many families throughout the country. So fine an opportunity to secure first-class sewing machine seldom occurs.
The Russellville Democrat., 1875-04-22

Judging from indications which we observed last Sunday, we think there is 6 fair prospect for an increased amoun1 of travel over the Little Rock & Ft. Smith Railway-especially between this place and Atkins. For an explan- ation, ask George Etter.
 The Sunday school picnic and May-day celebration will be held on Illinois bayou, at the mouth of Mill creek, about two niles from town. Other Sunday Schools from Dardanelle, Dover, Atkins, Clarksville and perhaps Lewisburg are invited and a grand time is anticipated.
 The Fort Smith Herald of the 10th comes to Us very wee and small, but neat and hobby as a pm. Severe sickness of the editor is a sufficient excuse. We hope you may soon be yourself again, Major.
 ID. P. Upham, of Clayton Mi litia fame, who has been under arraignment for the murder of two citizens of Woodruff county in 1868, has been discharged, after an examination into the case by the Pulaski Circuit Court.
 -Remember J. B. Erwin has removed to the two story brown storehouse on Fuckers corner. He is just back from the markets, and has a handsome stock of goods on exhibition. Everybody seems to be pleased with his low prices.
 An interesting communica- tion from a Dover correspondent which we intended to publish this week, has been mislaid, and we must ask our correspondent to look over our carelessness.
 A stroll out to the graveyard last Sunday evening, impressed us very sadly with the neglected and dilapidated condition of this rest ing place of the dead. Cannot some plan be devised to have the grounds trimmed, cleaned of and enclosed? It is really discredita- ble to the town to evince so much indifference about our graveyard. It ought to be the most beautiful spot to be found, whereas it is now about the most shabby look ing.
 IMPRovED.-The Russellville DEMOCRAT under the control of J. E. Battenfeld has been improved and enlarged to an s column pa per, and is now without exception, the neatest paper in the state, and is always filled with good reading matter. We rejoice at the sue cess of our young friend, and hope it may continue to be well with him.
 We are indebted to Major Sparks of the Ft. Smith Herald for the above handsome compliment. Thank you, Major.
