A FOUNTAIN OF HEALTH.
Russellvilie Has a Sulphur We'll
 Which is Daily Resorted to by
Scores of People, who Pronounce the Water Equal to the
 Most Noted in the

Our progressive little city is sec. ond to none in Western Arkansas for natural attractions and public Improvements, and her fame has gone abroad until all eyes are turned thitherward in admiration.
 The latest developed attraction is veritable Sulphur Well, which is the wonder of all who have visited it and quafied it's healthful water. In the early part of the summer, Mir. George ". Walker, who resides at the west end of Main street, had a well bored in his yard to depth of between forty and fifty feet, which for time yielded a sufficient SUI ply of water. But, as the season advanced, the flow of water failee. and, finally, MT. Walker conclude | to have the well deepened. Accor, ingly, the drill was again put to work week before last, but no sign of an additional supply of water wa noticed until the l4th inst, when, al the depth of eighty eight feet vein was struck. The water rose in th well at a remarkably rapid rate, SD fast, in fact, that the workman had no time to clean out the debris caus ed by the drill passing through rock and slate. In few minutes the water had risen to within sixteen feet of the top, where it now stands, despite the fact that hundreds upon hundreds of gallons have been drawn out.
 But the copious supply is not the only wonderful feature about this well. As the water became clearer, it was noticed that it had strong smell of sulphur about it, and the palate of all who tasted it revealed the fact that genuine vein of sul phur water had been tapped. When the water is drawn from the well, it foams and sparkles almost as much as the imported Seltzer, indicating the presence of carbonic acid gas in large proportions. Hundreds of our citizens have visited the we'll and drank of the water, and none hesi tate to pronounce it equal to any sulphur water they ever tasted in this state, Tenne see, Kentucky, or Virginia. In spite of the fact that the water IS carried away largely in buckets and jugs, there has been no perceptible diminution of the depth thereof-upwar6 of sEv- ENTY FEET. If the vein of sulphur water holds out, this well will be come a noted resort for invahds, and our little city will become more widely known than ever. MT. Walk CT, who is one of our worthiest cit zens and a. hard working mechanic, IS to be congratulated on his new pos session. the Russellville Sulphur Well.

At an early hour in tn, evening the yard was brilliantly lighted with Japanese lanterns, tn. light of which was soon dimmeu however, by the rays of the moor that soon rose and smiled upon th, scene. A large crowd of ladies ano gentlemen graced the occasion witt their presence, and each one remem bercd the host and hostess with all appropriate gift, a partial list oi which is herewith appended. As is usual on such occasions the happy couple were remarried, the marriage ceremony being short and conducted by one of the guests in the absence of the minister who ofiiciated five years ago. Tables were spread in the yard. on which was served in bounteous profusion all the fruits of the season. melons, grapes and peaches--ice cream, cake and lem onade. After satisfying the inner man, the guests departed for home with many wishes tor the long life, happiness and prosperity of Mir. and Mrs. Shinn.
