 While in Little Rock last week we had occasion to call in at the establish ment of Mess. Bernay's & Roeck, and we can truthfully say that we found very handsome stock of all kinds of goods in their line. Especially in the line of Clock s. Any taste or fancy could certainly be suited out of their stock of clocks. Their stock of watches and gold Jewelry was also very com s,lete and artistically arranged, as was also the silverware and miscellaneous articles,
 While in Little Rock last week we dropped into the new store of Mess. Kellogg & Co.,, between Second and Third Street to see how they looked in their new qaurters. We found them enug.yj ensconsed in 3 splendid new store room 120 feet deep with magni- rcent stock of goods in their line books, stationer's supplies, musical in- struments, z, MsA visit to their estab- lishment whee hou are in the city will repay the time occupied in looking at tAeir tastily filled up store.
 We regret an accident (which came near proving very serious one) which befel Rev. W. J. Dodson and wife last week. They had left Russellville for their new home, Morrilton, driving a spirited animal, and arrived at Galla Creek Station just as train drew up. The horse here took alright at the train and becoming unmanagable dashed away, throwing both Mir. Dodson and wife out of the buggy. Fortunately neither of them were hurt beyond some bruises and scratches of no very serious nature.
 "A GREAT CONTRAST. --Elsewhers in to-day's paper will be found commu- nicaton from "Contrast" which we beg of our readers to peruse. It is good and truthful showing of the past history, the last six years and the present condition of our town. We are proud of the showing made out by our correspondent, and while we do most heartily congratulate all our pub- lic-spirited and morality-loving people upon the result, we feel that we ought especially to congratulate Contrast, for we trace very much of the improve ment in morals and manners of our people directly to the earnest labor aud teaching of the good man. He has watched and labored and prayed Tor our town and our people, and bles- sings have been showered down upon us. Our people love him and reverence him and their good wishes will follow him in all his wanderings up and | down the earth.
