The Russellville Democrat., 1882-02-23

The late decision of fonr supreme court const'uing certain sections of Gantts Digest relative to the fling and recording of mortgages, created some excitement among our mer. chants as the declsion was miscon- strued as effecting the Chattel Mort gage Act of 1877. We have been re- liably informed by Mr. G. w. Shinn, who has examined the manuscript opinion of the Court, that 1t in mo- wise effects the late Chattel Mort gage Act, but leaves It in all things in statu quo.
 In the proper column of todays paper will be found the announce ment of Mir. J. c. Bonds candidacy for the vacant treasurysbip Of this county. Mir. Bonds is one of the most respected citizens of our coun ty, resides at the county seat, and possesses all the necessary qualifi. cations to make an efficient and faithful custodian of the county fi- nances. We feel certain the voters of Pope county will do their whole duty in deciding the relative merits of the two worthy citizens before them for this important office. Both arc our friends and we wish them well.
 We arc in receipt of some beau tifully executed chromo- o-lithographlc seed packets from D. Landreth & Sons of Philadelphia, the pioneer Seedmen of this continent. The ar tistic designs and coloring are so true nature and superior to the or dinary illustration as to be beyond comparison. But the merit of il lustration is not the most important feature, 'tis the CONTENTS of the packets, and the quality of their Seeds has been proved by tests ex- tending up to a century. Their Al manac and Catalogue is the best yet. and should be in every country house hold. It is mailed, postpaid, to all who apply for it.
 "A letter from MT. J. M. Haney has been received by MT. J. E. Bat tenfield. secretary of the Melrose Cotton Mills, announcing that the machinery for this enterprise has been purchased at cost of $44, ,000, and will be ready for shipment in June. The present estimated cost of the factory when completed is $55,000. MT. Haney writes that the cost of our factory will $35,000 less than the Quapaw of Little Rock, yet by reason of the improved machin- cry purchased, the capacity of our Mills will be 600 pounds greater per day of 10 hours than the Qua paw-ours turning out 2500 pounds every 10 hours. MT. Haney will re- turn here within ten days with speci- fications of buildings, and as soon as the necessary arrangements can be made active operations will be begun on the buildings. We learn that several shares of stock are yet un taken, and we can assure those of our readers who have money to invest that no investment of capital can be safer or return larger interest on the investment, than Tn an enter prise of this kind. It will pay to in- vestigate. Cali on Mir. Battenfield for any information you desire.
