 A RUN UNPARELELLEp.-New brands of goods frequently have great runs for a brief time, but generally they 'slet down.; such however is not the case with the celebrated Blue Rib bon Whiskey. It is having a run every where unparelellcd, and the longer it is used the more popular it becomes. It is always kept up to standard of purity and excellence which makes it a favorite with all. Remember you can always get the genuine Bite Rib- bon at w. Q. ROGERS. | --S. Dutton's so-called circus arrived on time last Friday and give two ex- hibitiOns in our town. On account of excessive license, as they called it, thay gave variety performance in- stead of the circus as was advertised. The disposition of the management to evade tue license law caused the arrest of the manager and the infiction of . severe fine by one of our magistrates. Some of the performers were very good in their roles, and but for the disposi- .ion of the manager to "beat" the coun- ty and corporation out of their licenses, would have made reasonably good impression here. To the credit of the farming community and country peo- pie be 1t said that the number of visit 0rs to town was far below the average on such occasions.
 The exciteable editor of the At kins News is worrying himself great ly lest we injure tue prospects of some of our candidates by certain ut terauces made by us. Now in all candor we will ask how much does the News care for the success of any candidate in Russellville? Simply nothing! And if there was the scratch of pen in the possession of the editor of that paper damaging to any candidate in Russsllville, it would have been heralded to the pubic long ago. We are authorized by MT. Howell, Coward whom the News seems to direct it's insinua- tions) to state that he desires the News to publish his letters in full and without reserve, he likes. His letters were not written for private use, but for the eye of the public.
 Now will the News put up or shut
