own and the thanks of many other citizens for his promptness.
 Some merchants profess to sell goods below cost. can't see it that way. but continue to sell at as low legitimate prices as ever. ERWIN.
 We had the pleasure of meeting Mir. Chas. Semple of the firm of Moss & Semple, Louisville, Ky, in our town Tuesday. Mir. Semple is one of those whole-souled, n.ble kentuckians with whom it is a pleasure to meet, and for honest, raight-forward dealing, and satis- factory, pleasant business relations we can recommend his house.
 The Humbug Picture Gallery is again in town. Persons desiring work will please call soon, as it will remain but a few days.
 Our friend Jameson, of the de- funct Nan-Guard, passed down the Ft. Smith road Tuesday with his printing press, material, &c., to start a paper at Conway. We con- graduate that place upon their prog ress in securing q newspaper at their town, and especially upon securing such an experienced man to run it as Bro. Jameson.

 Gould q Michigander be trans ported during his sleep from his frozen home in the North to our sunny cline and behold such day in December as last Sabbath was, he would think nature had reversed the order of her seasons, and that we were now enjoying lovely spring season. The tender, green grass pecping forth from the warm earth would aid the genial warmth of the atmosphere to make the delusion complete and bewillering.

 To all persons wanting good pictures, we recommend Mir. Names, of the Humbug Picture Tent, now stationed on Main street. We have seen some specimens taken by this artist, and pronounce them good. He is prepared to take ambrotypes, gems, card photographs of all sizes, &c.; in fact is prepared to do a gen eral picture business. Mir. Names will only remain here about two weeks, so our readers will do well to call early. You will perhaps not have another opportunity to get good picture soon.
 ---Oh, Mrs. Jones; where did you get that beautiful stew kettle! Why at Roys' Hardware Store; it is that Granite Iron Ware, and it is the best thing that was ever made. You can't keep house without it.
 We felt highly mortified that Rev. Mir. Mcdonald felt called upon to rebuke the conduct of some of his audience on last Sabbath. We feel that some allowance should be made owing to the fact that numbers witnessed the form of worship con ducted by Mir. Mcdonald for their first time. This we say in explana- tion, and not as an apology for irrev- erence or levity toward divine wor- ship. We trust our Reverend friend may never have occasion to again criticisc the conduct of a con gregation in Russellville. The rep utation which our church going people enjoy as attentive, respectful listeners has always been very favor able, and we hope no one will suffer any act or word to bring rcproach upon us for disrespectful conduct at church.

 By an oversight we failed in last weeks paper to direct the atten- ton of our readers to the new adver- tisement of the Little Rock Commer- cia! College. We are pleased to be able to boast of such an institution AT HOME. From our observation of the manner in which the different departments of this school arc con ducted we can say that the institu- ton is success, and we see no use Of our young men going abroad to attend commercial schools when we have such an one as the Little Rock Commercial College at our very doors. Any of our young men who wish further information in regard to this school, or who would like to see Il catalogue describing the differ ent courses in the various depart ments are cordially invited to call at this office. We will take pleasure in giving them full information.
