tical value to every one, and especially indispensable to farmers. For sample copy and terms of sale to the trade and to agents, send 20 cents to Thompson, Tice < Co.,, Publishers, St. Louis, Mo.
 From Russellville, Ky, exchange we clip the following:
 Mir. Willis Settle, a fine machinist and master workman in all kinds of metal, left Tuesday morning for Rus scliyilie, Arkansas, on the look out for home and better employment than he has had here. Our people should give men of skill and industry better induce ments to stay here than they do. If onr most energetic and enterprising mechanics and business men are driven to the necessity of going to other States to better thelr condition, .Russellvilie and Logan county will never prosper. If we wish 10 succeed ourselves, we must encourage home enterprise and industry. AS skillful machinist Willis Settle is worth his weight in gold to almost any community--and yet, he was not duly appreciated in our city and county.
 -URANINE.-This is the most recent ly discovered, and perhaps tue most re- sniarkable, of all the coal tar or aniline group of coloring substances, now 90 extensively used for the adornment of the finest fabrics. Uranine is said, by chemists, to be he most highly HHores- cent body known to science. Its color ing power is astonishing; a single grain will iulpart marked color to nearly five hundred gallons of water.
 A most interesting experiment, which anybody may try consists in sprinkling Iew atoms of Uranine upon the sur- face of water in glass tumbler. Each atom immediately sends down through the water wbat appears to be a bright green rootlet; and the tumbler soon looks as if it were crowded full of beau- tful plants. The rootlets now begin to enlarge, spread and combine, until we have mass of soft greeu-eolored liquid. Viewed by transmitted light, the color changes to a bright g0ldenSor amber hue; while a combination of green and gold will be realized, accord ing to the position in which the glass is held. For day or evening experi- ment nothing can be prettier than these trials of Uranine, which are es- pecially entertaining for the young folks. We are indebted for examples of the color to the editors of the Scien- tiic American, who are sending out specimens, free of charge, to all their readers. The subscription to the paper is $3.20 for a year, or Sl.6o half year ; and a better investment for the money could hardly be named.
The Russellville Democrat., 1879-01-09

On Christmas eve night, Henry CLristy, citizen of this couuty had the misfortune to have his hand shat tered hy load from shot gun. He was riding along the road and met q negro carrying a gun, Christy asked to Ioog at the gnu at the same time laying hold of 1t by the barrel and drawing it toward him. The breech of the gun was carried under the arm of it's owner and it is supposed that the hamer was caught and pulled far enough back to explode the cap when it fell. The discharge entered Christy's hand at the wrist and pas sing toward the hand completely shattered the bones of tho third and fourth fingers.
 Since the above was put in type, we learh that the man died from lock jaw, on Monday night, superinduced by the wound. Columbia Banner.

Pay as You Go.

Among the many good resolutions which people form at the beginning of the new year none is more i'm portant than the fixed purpose to keep out of debt. Pay as you go and when you stop paying stop go ing. The pernicious habit of ran nlng store bills for any and every thing needed can not be too severely condemned. It is so easy to make debts so hard to unmake them--s SC little labor in saying to the accom- modating merchant or smiling clerk, Put this down." or Charge to my account" and so very hard, to make the dollars with which to liauidate when the dreaded day oi settlement rolls around. The credit system is ruinous system. The Ma tional Government two-thirds of the States, cities, counties, railroads and millions of our citizens can bear am. pie testimony to this fact. How are we to stop It? If it Is ever done the work must begin with the people who must set the example of rigid economy and the fixed determination to live within their income. The way to klll the credit system is to kill it. Make no new debts for 1S7s except when it is life and death case Cut off luxuris and suEerfaities if il is necessary to accomplish the end so that rigid economy now may make it possible to have such things in time to come. Money is scarce anc times are hard and yet goods arc very cheap but allurement of cheal goods should not betray people into the old slavery of debt.
 No wiser lesson can be learned by the people of Arkansas this yea than the unalterable purpose toayoio debt making. --L. K. Democrat.
