 My guess a lamb.
 Farmers will be pushed with their work if it continues bad weather much longer, as g great many of them say there is great deal of wa ter standing in their fields.
 We noticed among RussellvIlle folks visiting our town last week Mir James Potts, our efficient county surveyor.
 The sale of MT. Deals crop levied upon for rent of farm did not pan out we'll. We are sorry he had such bad luck with hls crop. as we are sat istied he would have come up all right. Try again. Mir. Deal.
 The young men of Potts Station organized an amateur minstrel troupe, the intention of which is that the proceeds above expenses will be given toward the building of school house at Potts Station and other charitable purposes.
 Mir. Joseph Potts, our efficient postmaster, tank.pumper and rail road station agent is always on hand and ready to wait on all who call In his line of biz, casting smiles voluntarily upon the fair sex.
 M. c. Bells s.sre was broken into week before last, quantity of to bacco, coffee, candy and a small amount of money was stolen. This midnight thief ought to be caught and hung as high as Haman of old.
 It is rumored that the Gala Greek Grange store will suspend business until next fall.

 Rev. Mir. Hickman, pastor, deliv- cred an able discourse on Faith on the fifth Sunday. We bespeak for him year of success on the Dover circuit as he IS both an able preacher and an attentive pastor.
 It would be presumptious to say more of the gold and silver epidemic as it has assumed such extensive magnitude all over these hills. hfCu aS 'ofCt bhS IVlJiC Ot COufsT- sation is gold and silver, $50 miner al rocks, etc. Why sir, even the boys have gone to turnipg over rocks, peeping into every little hole and corner and declare they see the precious metal actually glitterlng dazzlingly in every rock and parti- cle of earth.

 Is Russellville dead9 We heard that with the closing saloons your town would die but we did not be- lieve it. Only keep them closed and Russellville is on the eve of a grand and prosperous future. Keep them closed all over this country and in a few years our courts will push the docket through in two or three days time and there will be no necessity for the office filled by Judge Lyncby. Saloon keepers will acknowledge this. BELIsso.
