 We received a pleasant call from
 |hn Rye, of Dover, Tuesday.
 For good pictures, at low prices,
 eo JHe. HARrLEY's Gallery at
 Ardanslie.
 Miss Hattie Coulter, of Yell
 bunty has been in the city several
 avs visiting friends.
 -Kev. John Dalton will preach at
 rairie Grove next Saturday night
 o'cock and Sunday following at
 o'clock, a. m.
 Last Sunday morning was the bolest weather of the winter. The eercury stood at l0o-twenty-two elow freezing.
 The weather has been remarka- ly dry for the past three weeks and he dust Is becoming an intolerable |uisance.
 We have received, but too late or publication in this issue, a well written communication from Nor istown, which will appear next week.
 We were pleased to meet in our office this week our former fellow ownsman, Robt. B. Wilson, Esq, now of Lewisburg. Bob is good boy, and deserves good treatment wherever he may go.
 MT. Alfred Wick, whose mar Flage notice appeared in last weeks DEMOCRAT, died very suddenly last Friday after only about 30 hours bllness.
 Our editor has been in Little Rock since Tuesday. It is not known whether the Presidential |embroglio will be settled any soon- |er by the trip or not.
 Where can we find suitable Chritmas presents? At Boswell & Erwin's, who have the largest and best selected stock of candies, toys, fancy goods, books, &c., ever brought to Russellville.
 We take pleasure in referring again to the eating house of Capt. Barrelle, at the depot. His table is always supplied with the best the country affords, and his walters are attentive and polite.
 We make our acknowledge ments to the string band of Prof. Winton for serenade last Wednes- day night. The boys have acquired . very creditable proficiency, and we think it would be quite a treat if they would get up concert.
 Our friend Evins contemplates moving his Livery business in about two weeks to the old Poe X Brown stand on Main street, near this office. His advertisement will appear next week.
 -ScHOOL DIRECTors.-Saturday is the day for the election of School Directors. The Mayors proclama- tion orders the election of four new members-two to fill vacancies caus- cd by expiration of others terms, and two in place ofmembers elected Last year who failed to qualify. Shinn and Barrow are spoken of as two of the new ones. We have heard no names suggested for the ether two.
 The ingratitude of our citizens caused the public trapeze performer to lose his stock in trade for board and freight bills last Monday. Messrs. Jonah Tucker and Eb. How ell hold the property. We suggest that they give our citizens an exhi- bition during holidays. ED. could do the trapeze act splendidly, while his partner could interest the spec tators with oratory.
 We feel safe in saying that no town in the state enjoys the possess ion of an establishment conducted on better principles than our Market, under the direction of Mir. Dacus. He brides himself in his business, and go there when you will, he is prepared to give you just what you want. Mir. Dacus has worked hard the past season and we are glad to know that his Market is one of the fixed institutions of our town.
 -ERRATUM.-In 'oui short article in last weeks paper on the "Cottoi Crop" the types made us guilty Of a grossly erroneous statement. By inserting these words, (which were skipped by the compositor last week ''seven per cent, pointing to a crop of" at the end of the sixth line in the follt wing sentence, our readers will have it as it was written:
 The exhibit issued by the Memphis Cotton Exchange for the month of November, shows as the result of the crop enquirers for the month of October, less yield than last year by about 100000
 We are authorized to give notice that on next Saturday night. at the North Methodist church, there will
