 Il have just received another large installment of "Rubber Paint" Call early and make your selections. J. W. WELLS. On Monday night at tho Presby- terian church we had the pleasure and satisfaction of listening to one among the very best sermons we have ever heard delivered in this place, by Elder J. P. Weaver, pastor of the Baptist church in Russellville. The subject was an important one, the audience was large, appreciative and attentive. It is much to bs regretted that all the citizens of the town were not present to have heard his able and masterly discourse. We sincerely hope that it may prove profitable to those whose good fortune it was to be present. We can truthfully say for ourselves that had the discourse been prolonged to double the time taken in its delivery, 1t would only have added to the deep interest we felt ill the eloquent remarks and the subject under discussion.
