 Attention is called to tho advertise ment of Harkey's Cholagogue. It is first class remedy, put up by first class men, in our own country. J. M. Har- key & Bro., ofa Russellville, are well known as gentlemen of honor and high integrity, and druggists of superior reputation.

 If the citizens of this town and the surrounding country could manage to devote enough of their savings to the purpose of starting cotton factory here, it would be the best thing they have ever done.

It is some. thing well worth thinking about-some- thing which would give our farmers chance to sell their cotton direct to the mili, and as said before, something which would be sure to grow into big thing.
 Next Tuesday our city election takes place. and we hope the voters of our city will not forget that the pros perity of the city depends in great measure upon the kind of men select ed to administer the city government.

As yet We s have seen no regularly made up ticket, )l and we hope every voter will be care at spl to vote for none but good men.
