1 Joyable way Of spending one 0f these long evenings, than tripping the light fantastic to good music.
 --One of the iron bars with which the shutters of Mir. J. l.. Shinn's store windows are secured, disappeared very mystcriously one day last week. If it was carried off for joke by some mischievous person it may be serious one unless it is returned at once.
 The Rev. Mir. Graves, one of the great guns of the Baptist Church preached in town last Monday night. We regretted very much that severe indisposition superinduced by bad cold prevented us from hearing the sermon.
 See Mir. J. R. Dukes cotton seed advertisement and notice the great reduction he has made in the price of his fine improved seed. It is folly to plant poor seed when fine seed is offer ed at such low figures. Remember, however, this reduction is only to stand for one month.
 Tine Globe Dramatic Company filled an engagement of four nights last week at this place. They were we'll received and had full house on each evening. Rose Cottage, Fanchon the Cricket, The Hidden Hand, and Rip Van Wrinkle, constituted the pro- gramme for the four nights here.
 We had the pleasure of meeting Messrs. c. w. Conrad and Wm. Zel- hart In our town last Thursday. MT. c. is from Indiana and Mir. z. from Ohio, and their object is to select homes in our State. We are pleased to know that they were fayorably impressed with our county and we hope they may conclude to drive down their stakes here and become citizens.
 Whenever you feel as though you needed something to brace you np- something good for the inner man something good for your good cheer go to the E. Virgil Saloon and we will guarantee that you can find it, no mat ter how fastideous your taste may be. The stock of fine old liquors, brandies, &c., &c., at this house is always kept up to standard becoming first-class bar. Remember the place in the Fruit Store house near the Depot.
 We regret very much to chronicle the departure from our town last Tues day of our esteemed fellow-townsman Mir. E. II. Poe and family. They go to Texarkana to make that flourishing young city their home, and we take pleasure in commenting them to the good people of Texarkana. We've swored off, Lige, but here's to you, hoping that you may find congenial home wherever you go, and make a fortune and ere long return to good old Russellville to enjey it among your many friends whom you leave behind.
