"A Mrs. Cofield, recently from
Monroe county, died Sunday even
ing from the effects of measles. She
had not been in the city long, 81, :
we know nothing Of the fal y. ]
bereaved have the sympathies +.
friends and acquaintnnces.
An excursion passed up the
railroad last Sunday, going to the
dedication of the Lutheran church,
on Colony Mountain. Mr.. Clark
Dixon. of Morrilton, stopped off, and
spent the day in Russellville among
friends and relatives.
We we're pleased to welcome to
our sanctum Hon. Jno. r. II. Scott,
who has just returned from several
weeks absence to Little Rock, on a
visit to his son, DR.. A. II, Scott, &C
companied by his uncle, Gen. Geo.
w. Jones, Of Iowa.
We received last Saturday the
new time table of the L. r. d F. S.
r. r., which went into effect Mon
day. The mail and express going
east arrives in Russellville at 1890
a. M, and going west at 4:15 p. N.
Travellers take notice.
Mr.. f. V. Crouch, travelling
agent for the Eirdsall Manufactnr-
ing company, has been in town sev-
cral days, exhibiting the Novelty
saw mill. We have had the privi-
lege Of witnessing the operation of
this mill for several days, and if our
saw mill opinion is worth anything,
we are satisfied that the Novelty
mill is the most successful thing in
it's line. 1t will certainly do what is
claimed for it. A number Of citizens
who understand machinery testify
to the merits of the Novelty mill.
Mr.. II. n. Smade, Of Russellville is
local agent for the mill, and he can
give all information concerning the
mill that may be desired.
A TRAVELLING correspondent of the
Little Rock Gazette, came up to
Russellyille last week and wrote up
the town in regular correspondent"
style. He says the town has about
$500 inhabitants, wher it does not
claim more than 400. He says the
town spreads out like fan on the
west side of the railroad" when the
entire town is on the south side of
the road, the road running east and
west Melrose cotton mill is stu
ated directly east of the town. Ana
what is worse than all, he says, that
w. p. Wooten is the only business
man in town who has a free delivery
wagon, with which he delivers goods
to the doors of the customers, when
the correspondents free ride through
the city behind Mr.. Periman's "fa-
vorite steed," was on the new deliv-
cry wagon of the firm of Macarthur
md Periman. What kind Of car
riages do they use in Little Rock?
We hope the correspondent will con.
again when The sun is shin M.
We had a most agreeable anu
pleasant call on Wednesday from
Gen. George w. Jones, of Dubuque,
Iowa, who is the uncle and guest Of
Hon. II. Clabe Howell and wife, of
our city. Gen. Jones was a member
of the United States Senate for
great number of years, was Minister
to Bogota, South America. under the
ADM illustration of President Buchan-
an and was upon his recall after the
commencement of the Confederate
war arrested and confined in Fort
Lafayette for GA days, charged with
writing letters Of sympathy in the
rebellion 10 his intimate personal
friend, college mate and long asso.
ciate in the u. S. Senate, JEFF Davis,
President of the Confederate States,
and also for aiding in the rebellion
by furnishing two sous who came
south and entered the Confederate
army and barred their breasts for
four years for southern rights. Gen.
Jones had, just before leaving home,
celebrated his 10th anniversary. No
one would Judge him, from ais
erect form, elastic step, genial face,
convivial manner and general deport
ment, to be more than go or 65
years of age. He has been peculiar
ly blessed with good health, not
having until quite recently, and then
only for short time, been confined
To his room for over 40 years. We
hope the Gen. will enjoy his visit
with his relatives and become sutfi.
GENTLY attached to our country to
come and make it his future home.
Gen. Jones will visit his friend Gen.
JEFF Davis, when he leaves here and
