who desire information of any kind in reference to State or United States lands, should ad- dress W. D. Blocher, Little Rock.
 If you want to locate at a pleasant, growing little town, where there is no dram shops, | no musketos in the summer, nc scarcity of fuel in the winter and no end to old bachelors, come to Russellville.
 --Drummers say the only objec- tion they have to selling goods to Russellville merchants is that they have to sell too close. It is note- worthy fact that goods do sell very low in our place, and our mer- chants certainly must buy close, and work for a very short profit too, to sell goods so low.
 One of our subscribers at Atkins, MT. A. Roberts, showed us stalk of corn in his garden, last Saturday, which had eight well developed ears of corn on it, besides two shoots which we do not count because of their not be- ing sufficiently developed to call them cars.
 We passed over the road from here to Atkins on horseback last Saturday and had an opportunity to notice the crops. We did not see single bad crop, although all the farms we passed were old, upland places.
 ITEM FOR STINGY MERCHANTS A. T. Stewart & O., advertised to the amount of $S50,000 last year nearly one per cent. of the total amount of their sales. Think of this, you penurious business men. Capt. Jno. c. Rye, of Dover, sends us a single stalk of German millet which measures a little over five feet, and we don't know how high it was cut. The head looks like a good sized "nubbin" of corn, being seven inches long, Pretty good, friend Rye.
 The excellent fouring mill of Messrs. Harkey, Smith & Tor renee at this place is kept fred hot" If they don't run all night, they must stop very late, for we hear the buzz of their machinery every night as long as we are up, which is generally along toward eleven o'clock.
 We are indebted to our good fortune in being so lucky as to have a twenty five cent shin-plas- tor in our pocket, for fine, lus- cious watermelon last Monday. |Rah for east Russellville-- Shinn's addition. MT. Geo. How ell and J. L. Shinn have been making some good Improvements over there. A fine l2 feet side walk now extends from Oak street along Washington out to the ,res- idence of Mr. B. F. lobe.
 -Ware's Monthly Magazine for August, comes to us full of in structive, attractive and varied matter-both contributed and ed itorial. The life-like truthfulness of the delineations of western life is pleasing. Taken all in all the magazine is bound to become pop ular.
 PAINFUL ACcIDENT.-We re- gret having to record a painful accident which befell Miss Floy- a bright little 9 year old daughter of Capt. W, J. Patton--at this place on Tuesday evening, where by she had three of her fingers almost cut off in feed cutter. Dr. Harrell dressed the mutilated hand, and although it is very painful he does not think the damage is very serious.
 We learn that MT. T. J. Key holds will in ali probability be appointed land agent for the L. R. & F. S. R. R at Atkins. The se- lection would be most excellent one, and we hope Mir. Reynolds may get the place. He is thor oughly awake to the importance of securing more dense popula- ton of good industrious settlers, and will make an active reliable agent for the sale of R. R, lands.
