 --Dr. E. B. Harrell is still confined to his sick bed. He has had the kind- est attention and nursing from many attentive friends and we hope soon to see him up and again enjoying his usual health.
 --Our old friend and former resident of this township, Esq. Thomas Oates, who is now living ill Yell county, some 24 miles southwest of Dardanelle, sends us fine specimen of his sugar cane. It was conveyed to us by Messrs, Ed gar Shinn and Craig Lovesy, two of our town boys who have been over in Yell on hunting expedition. We are

 -Russellville is the only town in the State opposed to public schools Arkansaw Traveller.
 The Traveller has fallen into an error which it would have avoided had it read its exchanges. We see several other towns reported in the local pa pers as having voted against school tax. It is bad enough to be ONE of such towns. To be put down as the ONLY one is more than we are willing to stand.
 No Rnsseilvillc DEMOCRAT received at this office last week. Brothers, please rise and explain the why's and wheiefores.-Atkins News.
 The explanation can perhaps be made by the route agent. We started the mail for Atkins all right, and cannot say why it did not reach that office. We had similar complaint about last weeks DEMOCRAT not getting to the Potts Station post office. Evidently there was some displacement of our papers last week hy the route agent.
 LATER.-From the postmaster at At kins and Potts Station, we learn that the DEMOCRAT packages of the 21st ult., were received at their respective offices on the 23d.
 The road-ovcrseer should see that the section of road leading through Hamiltons lane has some efficient work done on it before bad weather comes on. It will be almost impossible if there is not some good work done on 1t. And while on the subject we will say that it will pay all farmers who are going to have much cotton to haul to market to put the roads generally in good condi- tion. It will save your wagons and your teams, and save you time and trouble. Now is just the time to put in some good work on the roads, and all who have teaming to do over them this winter can well afford to put in a few days work in this way.

 Several friends of the DEMOCRAT have promised to interest themselves in securing an increased circulation of the DkaoCRAr in their respective neigh borhoods. We are truly much obliged, and will thankfully appreciate all such kind offices performed for us by our friends. We have an ambition to see every family in the county become sub scribers and readers of tile DEMOCRAT, and if those who have read our paper and who believe it is an advantage to our county to have such a paper, will help ns, we can place it in every read ing family in tile county; and then we will get the ideas of popular education, of higher intelligence and of better morals, which we are advocating, So difdsed suonast the masses, that soon *e VIII haNs hune but reading, think Ing families ln eus toanty, We will ti6h have better times, Help us, friends f8F ln helpihs u. you help yourseltes:
