THE RUssEILv1LLE DEMOCRAT THURSDAY. MARCH Is,

Several wagon loads of country bacon was hauled to town Monday by our countrymen and sold to our merchants. Our farmers can make much more money on bacon than they can on cotton, and the labor Is much less.
 Land Commissioner Slack of the Ft. Smith Ky. passed mp the road Monday and returned Wednesday. He had a special train and was ac- companied by some of the New York stockholders in the road to whom he was showing the country, and the lands of the road.
 ---TowN ELEcTIoN.---Only 19 days until the election. Does our Mayor intend to give any official notice of the time, place, and officers to be elected? And is the whiskey license question to be voted upon? There is but little time to lose or in which to settle any question in regard to the election.

CONSUMPTION CURED.

An old physician, retired from active practice, having had placed in his hands by an East India Mis- sionary the formula of a simple Veg etable Remedy, for the speedy and permanent cure of consumption, bronchitis, catarrh, asthma. and all throat and lung affections, also q positive and radical cure for nervous debility and all nervous complaints, after having thoroughly tested its wonderful curative powers in thous- ands of cases, feels it his duty to make it known to his suffering fel- lows. Actuated by this motive, and conscientious desire to relieve hu- man suffering, he will send (free of chsrge) to all who desire it, this rec ipe, with full directions for prepar- ing and successfully using. Sent by return mail by addressing with stamp, naming this paper.

Our Town Council.

With due defcrence to the intelligence of our town council, we would like to ask them what they cencclve they were elected and placed in charge of our town interests for. We have yet to see the first stroke done by them, or the first dollar expended in the way of public Improvements. Our streets are in . worse condi- tion than we have ever noticed them. The foot bridge over the small branch near the corner of Oak and Jefferson streets is, and has been for the past two weeks in such dilapidated and wretch ed condition that the greatest caution is necessary to prevent a fall which might result in broken limbs for the unwary pedestrian. We ask our aldermen the direct question if they expect tax-pay- CTS to keep up the repairs on the streets and crossings out of their own private purses. while never a dollar of the tax they pay Is used for any other purpose than to pay Aldermen's attendance at the council to do nothing.
 We dislike very much to revert to this subject so often, but our duty as journalist devoted to the cause of the people will compel us to demand for our con stituency a just consideration at the hands of our town council.

Ho, Ladies, all, pray you hear!- Have you forgotten 'tis Leap Years I'm still hcart-wholc and fancy-frce, 0 who will now propose to mef I sought, throughout the past three years, To fnd some one among the dears, Who would accept my proposition, But none would ever heed my mission. You all well know, as suppose, That 'tis your turn, now, to propose; win you not do as well by me For one year, as did all threes courted then with full intent; Will none return the compliment 0 come and talk as sweet to mo Az then tried to talk to ye, And do my weary hours beguilc And smile as then fried to smile; Talk sentiment and be romantic, And tn en with burning love go frantic, And say you love me, 0. So well! Just as used to try to tell. But when you thus with me discourse, Do not get chokcd and become hoarsc, As oft did--but talk outright, With frye wondn's foaaus and might. Don't fear that will get offended, As you so oft with me prefsnded, And be assured that success The efforts of the one will bless, That docs apply with loves appeal,- My tender heart can lsvc and feel.- Be sure I'll act a generous part, And will accept with all my heart. Then ladies, come, without delay, Tn rec months have nearly sped away I'vc not single offer had, Ah, bitter thought, and rather sad! X thief is this procrastination, That robs the world and all creation! -'Bc wise to-day! 'tis madness to defer."-- Remember, that you only have ono year.

County Executive Committee.

Who knows the names of the gentlemen composing our County Executive Committee? It is time our County policy ought to be shaped up for the coming cam paign. We must either have a convention to send delegates to the State Convention, or we must have grand mass meeting and let the people themselves choose delegates. We presume it will be most practicable to hold a County convention. If this course is pursued, it should not be delayed too long. Sufficient notice should be given, to give the township committees time to call conven- tions to choose county delegates. We hope due interest will be taken in this matter.

Personal.

We had the pleasure ot call from Mir. T. L. Montgomery, General Manager in the South for the publishing house of A. J. Johnson & Son, who is here with Mir. c. V. Murry, whom he has assigned to Pope county, to can vass for Hitchcock's New and Complete Analysis of the Holy Bible. From the slight inspee- tion of the book which we have given it, we would pronounce the work an invaluable aid to those who wish to study the Bible. A vast amount of research has been bestowed upon the work and it would be a most desirable addi tion to any students library.
 Again, under date March 15, 1869, Mir. McReynolds writes: We have been operating the Howe constantly; have had no trouble, doing all kinds of work with ease. We have just finish ed an elaborate piece of braiding, the admiration of all who have seen it."
 This machine was ordered to be shipped by express, and the only instructions they had were from the instruction book which accompanies each machine, and is so plain that child can under stand It.
 We have been very kindly furnished with the text of Il speech delivered by Hon. L. W.

We are much obliged, however, to our friend, for his goodness in furnishing the text of the speech.
