 We understand there is a new store in town, and we suppose as soon as they got straightened out they will come around to see the pr,nter and let the trading public know the style of their firm, the character of their business, the in ducements they offe", &c., sSc. -"Oh how pretty,' "Oh how cheap" are the exclamations indul- gep in by the many who are daily inspecting J. B. Erwin's new goods. And the best part of it is there is no delusion about it, they are both pretty and cheap. Go early and see them.
 Sow WHEAT.-Don't neglect to SOW plenty of wheat. farmers. Even if it is low in price it will be more remnnerative than cotton at and 9 cents. Then if wheat is plenty bread will be cheap and you can live at small expense. Don't fail to attend to wheat sowing.
 To get the best is always impor- tant; this, we think, applies partic- ularly to sewing machines. The Howe sewing machine stands pre- eminent above al others, and we ask our readers to give it careful examination. See advertisement.
 The Prescott Dispatch is pub lished at Prescott, Nevada county, every Thursday by John F. Fagln, with E. A. Warren, as editor; and judging from the number before us we think it will be valuable addi- ton to the Arkansas Press. Good luck and long life to the Dispatch.
 -RAL-RoAD LANps.-We call at tention to the notiae of w. D. Slack, Land Commissioner of the Little Rock and Fort Smith Railway, in to-day's paper. There need be no uneasiness on the part of land pur- chasers from this road, as their in- terests will be scrupulously guarded by the efficient chief of the Land Department.
 Mir. L. L. Seller, of the Spirit of Arkansas, spent several days in our town, and in looking around the surr ounding country last week. We are glad to have formed the ac- quaintance of such a clever, sociable gentleman, and we hope he will find it convenient and to his interest to visit us frequently.
 The Clarksville Clipper having noticed our mention of an effort to start a free ferry across the river, predicts that if such a step is con- sumated, Russellville will get a heavy trade from Yell and Logan counties. We are fully satisfied that we would, and we hope our merchants will not let the matter drop through.
 PLEASE TAKE NorICE.---We have this day adopted a CASH SYSTEM in our business; from now on we pro- pose to sell strictly for cash and for less profits than ever before. If you only have a few dollars to spend come right in and price our goods before buying; remember we always take pleasure in showing you goods,

 Thanks to the public-spirit and enterprise of our townsman, J. L. Shinn, there is now good substan' tial bridge of two-inch oak plank over the culvert on Main street-ol at least over more than half of it The culvert was widened, dug deep CT and walled up with stone at Mir Shinn's expense, and he has placed rock and lumber enough on tho ground to complete the job.
