The Russellville Democrat., 1877-06-28

Coii iI'lithShtdiA hSbiSC oi 0hS tNHsS last Saturday; but really his comina- nication is altogether too long for our limited space this week.
 W. P. Wooten & Go, will barter groceries for wheat at the market prlce.
 A CHEERING SlGN.--One of the cheering signs of the times is to hear so many farmers bragging about their fine hogs, sheep, colts, &c. It sounds like business, for 1t costs no more to keep fine stock than 1t does the common scrubs. If we only could have county fair thls fall to get up a rivalry and see who could show the best stock, and best farm products.
 Remember this is your only chance to get goods at your own price at the auction sale at Moselcy's store.
 To THE PUBLIc.-Mr. Chas. Ash | ford, practical watchmaker of Darda nelle, has opened a branch shop at this place, and any work in his line left at the postolllce will receive prompt and personal attention. Mir. Ashford will be in attendance at his office in Russellville every other week.
 W. P. Wooten & Co.,, have com plete stock of family groceries of ev- cry description, and are selling very cheap for cash and wheat.
 The Searcy Record, Gazette and Western Immigrant had better keep their eyes skinned, for Judge Davis, although there is no better natured man, is getting on his war paint, and being a heavy weight, he will make a lively time for some one;- and, by the way, we noticed him and Business Manager lobe in earnest conclave the other day, and we wouldn't be surprised if the Judge was negotiating for space to open fire on his tormenters through the DEMOCRAT.
 Beware of buying shipped fruit cans for they will leak, and Roys will charge you two prices for mend ing them.
 We feel certain that we but ex- press the sentiment of all church goers in our town (and we never have seen town of this size where there were so many church goers) when we say that we are much grat- flied at the improvement in the church music. We think it adds very much to public worship to have good music, and we hope those who have taken the task upon themselves to improve this delightful part of the service will not lag ln the good work.
 The Railroad Eating House un- der the management of Capt Barrelle is now better prepared than ever be- fore for the accommodation of the public. Good cooks, we'll filled ta- bles, and careful walters, are the pride of the management, and we can assure the public that no pans will be spared that will Tn any way con tribute to the enjoyments of guests.
 --Roys warrants his fruit cans not to leak.
 TIE FOURTH OF JULY.-Thus far we have heard not word sad by any one in regard to celebrating the Fourth of July in Russellville. Well, perhaps it is just as well to let the day pass by unsung and uncelebra- ted while the White House is occu- pied by a mar who was defeated at the polls and rules the country against the will of the people. When this is the case we really have little to iubilate over, and when the Amer ican people put their stamp of dis appreciation on such usurpation by sending the party which perpetrated it to oblivion, then will be time enough for us to crow over our free institutions.
 TIE KILLING.-We stated in our lastss issue that Charles Exstine shot and instantly killed Chas. Koer- ner, on Tuesday of last week, near Atkins. Koerner did not die it seems until last Friday morning, and on that day Exstine (who came into At kins and gave himself up to the Marshal of the town immediately after the shooting) was brought be- fore Wm. Reynolds, justice of the peace, for an examination. Exstine and Kerner are both strangers here, having came here last fall as part of a company of immigrants from In diana, all of whom were Germans, not yet naturalized. Exstine, by advice of his counsel, Col. Ford, and also Mir. Wilson, of our town, waived an examination and was committed to jail upon a charge of murder in the second degree, the law not permit ting justices of the peace to take bai in such cases.
 -TnE PIcNIC.-Our time having 2 been engaged last Saturday so as to ' prohibit our attending the picnt given by the Masonic fraternity, we are unable to make any extended re ..o,t of tha ,1Iaacont flair Tho lay
