THE MUNICIPAL TOURNA-
 MENT.

Several gallant knights have mount ed richly caparisoned steeds preparatory to taking tilt in the mu nicipai tournament to take place in this city on the 9th prox- The race promises to be unusually interesting and exciting, but will doubtless be attended with the utmost good feeling.
 In our announcement column will be found the names of the candidates in the field.
 Capt. J. E. Richards, candidate for mayor, has been a citizen of Russell vile for three years, is property owner and thoroughly identified with the towns interests. He would make q faithful and efficient officer.
 Mr. ". W. Scott, also a candidate for mayor, is so we'll known to our read CTS that he needs no introduction at our haLds. He has been reared in our midst, and has been once honorad by the suflrages of the city, and if elected mayor win discharge his duties to the best of his ability.
 MT. J. H. Poe, candidate for marshal, first claimed citizenship here three years ago, since then he has been ab, sent at short intervals, but recently returned to reside permanently in our midst. He is worthy citizen, and would doubtless make a good marshal.
 Mir. J. T. Still, candidate for marshal, is well qualified to fill the position he seeks from past experience in the office of onr citizens that he may ''try his hand" in preserving the peace of our municipality.

WHY PROPERTY INSURED IN THE CONTINENTAL INSUR- kNCE co. IS SAFE.

BECAUSE TIT HAS LARGE ASSETTS: including cash capital of $l ,000, ,000, and a clear additional net surplus of $1 ,256, ,135.
 BECA USE. IT CONDUCTS ITS BUSINESS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS OF THE NEW YORK SAFETY FUND LAW, under which 1t has deposited with the state department SAFETY RE- SERVE FUND of another $l ,0o0,0 ,000.
 BECAUSE, this law restricts the dividends Of the company to SEVEN PER CENT. PER ANNUM, AND CoMPELS THE COMPANY TO ACCUMULATE ALL OF THE PROFITS OF ITS BUSINESS and the re- mainder of it's income from investments FOR THE SECURITY OF THOSE INSURED. It compsls the company, instead or dividing to the stockholders all the profits, to deposit one-half of them with the New York insurance depart ment to prolect policy holders whose property is not destroyed in the next great fire, and to add the other half of such profits to it's capital and surplus held to pay the losses in such fire.
 BECAUSE. IF NEW YORK OR ANY OTHER GREAT CITY SHOULD BURN. AS DID CHICAGO AND BosToN, YOU WOULD NOT BE LEFT WITHOUT INSURANCE, as were thousands who held policies in the one hundred companies which failed by those fires. The Continental policy would be good for the tall time for which it was written notwithstanding such great fire.
 BECAUSE the Continental is the ONLY company seeking a farm and dwelling business which has q surplus reserve fund specially set aside for this class of risks, and although the policy of safety fund company is worth more than that of company net "omo plying with his,law, the Continental does not charge any more for it's poli- cies than other good companies ought to charge.
 Those who have property which they want protected in sound compa- ny should call upon Mir. James E. Bat tenfield, who is agent for the Csntinen- tai, and slso for other reliable compa- nies.

 In --l. A sa l. l1..a.

Mr. J. E. Battenfeld, Russellvilc. Ark:
 Dear Friend: As it has been some time since l wrote you 1 will pen the following. It gives me much pleasure in pondering oyer the columns of the Russellville DEMOCRAT to sec what an impetus the subject of education has attained in and around Russellville; and what zeal and enthusiasm those engaged in the work of constructing the college building, on the grounds near the place where l attained the greater portion of what little education have. Although l live in the famous prairie state of Illinois, 1 read with zeal everything l see pertaining to the sunny south, (which is worthy of Its name,) and especially everything per> taining to the upbuilding of that por~ tion of it in which lies the scenes of my childhood. It makes me think of again becoming a citizen of your town, in which 1 have spent many happy hours.
 The work of raising the educational standard of the community at large, had ought to be the leading issue of to-day, but we see that there are many things attracting public attention of fsr less importance. l feel sure that if the jealous work of educating the mass es continues in your state in the future as it has in the past, and those older states let that important duty drag, as some of them are now doing, that the day is not far hence when we will have to send our children to your sunny cline to attain an accomplished eduea- tion.
 As I above stated and as you well know, l live in the state of Illinois. which is great and worthy state, but a great portion of it's people seem to let the attainment of wealth predominate over that of education or knowledge, which is the wheel that turns all peo pie and nations to wealth. We are aware of the fact that to avoid crime, pauperism and prostitution, we should en6eavor to elevate the standard of education. and plead through the press of the country, with our legislators to enact stringent temperance laws, and if needs be compulsory laws of educS> tion. 1 will close by adding that l wish your educational enterprise a happy God speed. A. BRYAN.
