 We heard a gentleman of intelli- gence and close observation remark a few.days ago that he had been in great many towns in many States, but he had never yet seen town as energetic and persevering in church-house build ding as Russellville. We take this as quite compliment upon the morals oi our town. With our three church edi. fees already completed and one more rapidly approaching completion, we are prepared to vie with any other town in this respect.
 Why in the name ofcommon sense don't our city dads have some stree crossings fixed up so that the ladies cal cross over without wading the mut shoe mouth deep? There is plenty O rock near at hand, and it would cos but trille to put down stepping stones at each crossing. In muddy time' there is but one crossing-the one fix ed by J. l.. Shinn, Esq, from A. N Wilson's drug store to the postofiice-- which can be passed without wadins shoe-mouth deep in mud. Let this mat ter be remedied at once.
