Mr.. John D. Rushing and fami-
ly will the latter part of this week
depart for Florida, where they will
take up their abode for time. Mr..
Rushlng's family have been living
in Russellville number of years,
and have a great number of friends
here, all of whom will regret their
departure from the city. Mrs. Rush
ing has been in declining health for
some time, and it is thought that
the genial cline of Florida will be
beneficial to her. They carry with
them the best wishes OF their many
friends.
There is little discussion going
on in the literary circles of our town
about the word "obtain," one party
claiming that it should not be used
in the sense of "prevail," or" exist"
while the other party claims that it
should. The best authorities claim
that in the sense of prevail the word
is of rare Occurrences; but at the same
time it is of frequent occurrence in
the Edinburgh Review, one of the
best metropolitan journals in the
world. Perhaps the authorities
mean that the word in the sense of
"prevail," should be rare. Bacon
used obtain in the sense of prevail,
and so did Baker.
Rev. Crowder Moseley, colpor-
teur for the Russellville Auxiliary
Bible Society, was in town Saturday
and Sunday. He has commenced
the canvass of the county in the in
terest of the American Bible Society,
and informs us that the prospects
for a good work are bright. We
earnestly request the citizens Of the
county to receive Mr.. Moseley an
assist him in every way possible, 81

ty ought TO take an active part In
this work, for it Is entirely undenom-
national. Mr.. Moseley is no book
agent in the common use of the term,
but he is minister of the Book of
books, seeking the spread of the Cos
pei, and the scriptural enlighten-
ment of the people generally. Every
body lend helping hand, and assist
in this great and glorious work.
"A social event took place at the
