The Russellville Democrat., 1881-10-20

There IS nothing Tn sl8nL to lnuicaLe m immediate rise. Present prices will rule for awhile. Receipts here arc larg- or this week than last.
 l Miss Bessie Wellington, formerly l of this place, Is cashier for the mercan- tile house of c. M. Freed, Dardanelle. Several young ladies are employed in the business houses of our neighbor ci- ty. Why do not our merchants take a new departure in thls direction? Sew eral of our young ladies would fill the position of cashier or saloslady in a very creditable manner.
 Miss Sallis V. McClary is with Mrs. s. Webb in her Millinery estabs lishment, and the ladies will bear in mind that a new stock of exquisite grades, embracing the latest styles of fancy goods. and notions of every des- cription, has been received and now offered to the public. In ladies' hats, bonnets, etc., the stock is unusually large and elaborate. Remember to call and examine these goods before pur- chasing elsewhere.
 MT. James A. Moseley, our popu> lar provision dealer has purchased and fitted up the store room formerly oc> | Ts has removed his entire stock of grocer ies and made such additions as necess- ary to make his stock more varied and complete than ever before. He is now 1 in the ring for good and means business in every sense of the word. If you want sugar, coffee, meat, flour and other substantials, as we'll as every delicacy usually found in the grocery l line, you have only to go to Moseley's and you will be supplied with the best the market affords and at prices that defy competition. If Mosslsy does not do this, chargs it to us and bring your 1 bill around and we'll settle it any day. A branch of the Southwestern Ben> eft Guild has been organized at this place. This organization is gotter up tor the benefit of single gentlemen and ladies who contemplate marrying withs in tour years from date of joining the institution. Every member who joins has positively decided to commit inatri- mony within the time spscihed, hence considerable public interest attaches to those who allow their names to be en- rolled upon the membership lists of the Guild. Therefore reporter of the DEMOCRAT has penetrated the inner re-
 
 association, at the imminent risk of his life, and secured the names of the ens rolled members for publication. Our reporter found that no ladies had as yet allowed their names enrolled, but the names of five young gentlemen were written in bold, gilt letters, as follows: John ". White, Henry k. Erwin, James ". Wells, Frank Wa'lworthand A. $. Howell. As premium of S2000 will accompany each one of these young mon when married, it is hut right to notify the young ladies of this fact, that they may bestow their smiles where it will do the most good.
 We had the pleasure of meeting last Friday Mr. A. Y. Stevens, Gen. Pass. Agt. of the Nashville, Chattanoo- ga and St. Louis Ry., who was in our midst in the interest of the "Great Mo- Kenzie Route." from Memphis to Chat tanooga, thence to Atlanta, Ga. This line has made special arrangements to convey visitors quickly, comfortably and cheaply to the Cotton Exposition at Atlanta, the greatest Worlds Fair the South has ever seen. Visitors who have relatives in N. O., s. C., or Va, whom they wish to see can see this ex position and by paying cheap local rate from Atlanta can visit their rela- tive for less money than by any other way. The round trip rate to Atlanta via the L. K. & F. $. Ky. and the Me- Kenzie Route is as follows: From Rus sellyille and Atkins, $2S.90; from Nor rilten and Conway, $26,90. The tickets will be sold until and on Nov. 30th, ,and good going only on day of sale, and will not be good to return unless stamp ed by the agent of the Westsrn and Att lantic railroad at Atlanta, and used within thirty days from dato of sale.
 A correspondent last week rather objected to what he supposed was our partiality to Messrs. John N. Bradley and Sam Brown. We simply mention ed these names as they occurred first to our minds. and we were better posted in regard to their operations. We are but too glad to know that there are others worthy to be placed beside them. We wish every farmer in the county could take .ho position. It was only our desire to hit upon an example that would be useful for farmers to follow. We undertake to say for these men, that, as farmers they never buy any bacon, flour, corn, wheat or potatoes. oub oh 1hV othSi hdhbt thSJ iaisC all these products for sale as general rule, and always enough for their own consumption. We only wish to say to our correspondent that we were not holding up these men to the public as men but as examples. We would be very much obliged. if Mfr, Bradley, MT. Brown, or any of the farmers mention ed by our correspondent. would use the columns of this paper in giving his mode of culture of the stock pea or any other mode eff green maturing he may have adopted. It is our opinion that for the purpose of reclaiming worn ont land, or land exhausted from long til- lage, the stock pea has no superior, while it furnishes a splendid quality of cheap hay in the mean time. The idea of growing cIeps for the purpose of fer tili2ation has been too long neglected by our farmers. It always looked to us like bad policy for a farmer to loose any quantity of sweat in cultiva- ting fifteen or twenty acres in cotton to raise four or five bales, when, by proper attention to his land for \ year or ss, he could raise as many bales from one half the number of acres. We gladly open our columns to our farmer friends for the purpose of discussing this question, to aid in the introduce ton of better system of agriculture if such be nesded.
 no! FOR THE FAIR.
