Readers OF the Commercial cannot well for
ret that large space for yeaLs been taken up
Nv Kendall's adv especially OF
certain SPAWN Cure, We have had dealings
with Dir. Kendall for many years, and We
know of some large business houses in cities
near by, who have also dealt with him for
many Years, and the truth is fully and faith
fully proven, not only that he is good honest
man, and his celebrated SPAWN Cure not only
All that it is recommended to be, but that the
English language is not capable OF recon-
inending It too highly.
kendali's SPAWN Cure will cure spavins.
There are hundreds OF ca in which this has
been proven to our certain knowledge, but, af-
ter ALL il amy person confines the usefulness OF
tins celebrated medicine 10 curing spayins,
they make a big mistake. it Is the best OUT
ward application for rheumatism In the human
family. 1t Il good for pains and aches, SWELL
ings and lamencss, and is ust as safely applied
20 men, women and children rs IL Is 10 horses.
we know that there are other good liniments
but we do believe this spawn cure to be far
hetter than any ever invented.

ise on che Horse aud his Diseases, which we
are now giving 70 advance paying subscribers
to the Press as premium,
Apout the time the advertisement first APP
peared in this paper, Mr.. +. &. Schermerhorn,
who resides near Golfers, concluded TO test the
efficacy of the remedy, although his friends
laughed at his crcdulity. He bought a bottle
OF Rendall's ~Payia Cure and commenced
using It on the horse In accordance with the
directions, and he informed US this week that
ID Effected such a complete cure that an expert
horseman who examined the animal recently
copll find no trace OF the SPAWN or tho place
where il hae been located. Mr.. Schermei horn
has since secured q copy of kcndal's treatise
on the Horse and his Diseases which he prizes
ycrv highly aud would he 10th 10 part with
al any price, provided he could not obtain
another copy, SOmueh for advertising relia-

menting on the fact that Russellville
voted the five mill tax for school
purposes, makes the following signif-
icant statement: "Rassellville al
ways keeps 100 per cent. ahead of
her neighbors in schools and facto-
RES" 1t is altogether probable that
Russellville will forever keep few
hundred per cent. ahead Of any 9th.
er town on the L. X. d F. S. r. r..
Location and territorial surround
ings have something to do with build
ing cities. Russellville is about
equidistant between Little Rock and
Fort Smith, bordering on the great
fruit growing region of the state,
and on the most feasible line for
railroad between the north and the
south. There will be railroad
some day in the future, running
from fhe northern part of the state,
where it will make connections with
lines running into st. Louis, Chicago
and Cincinnati, down through the
south IN the range of Shreveport,
where 1T will make connections with
lines running to New Orleans and
other Gulf cities. There is already
demand for such road. and the
demand will increase as the resour-
ces of the country are developed.
And when is built Russellville will
be the distributing point for all the
interior of the state. That is what
makes town.
The Board OF school directors
wish attention specially called to
their order in the paper of 3lst ult., in
regard to persons tresspassilg apon
the school house premises. Hither-
TO it has been customary for anyone
wishing TO do so, to go into the
! building through the windows, I
the doors were closed, this is now
forbidden by the board as well as all
writing, or marking, or painting or
defacing the building in any ether
wise. We are authorized to state
that every proper step viii be taken
to put into execution this order Of
the board for the preservation Of the
building and premises.
We hope the committee APP
pointed for Pope county, TO procure
specimens for the Southern Exposi
ton at Louisville, commencing TIL,
LIST Of next August, will belstir them
selves TO their important duties
They should not allow pic MICS o
anything else to interfere with thei
duties nor make them forget them
The pic mic is for day only, and |
will be gone; but the work you d
here, gentlemen, If yon do il well
may bring fruit when you are dea'
, and gone. We would urge our peo
pie to spare no pains to select an

"A meeting of the American Bible

in the Southern Methodist Church

being the 18th day, at IL o'clock a.
NJ. The friends OF the cause want
to make grand rally for this glo-
rious cause. The presence Of every
man, woman and child in the city
ought to be had on that occasion.
This is one field of Christian labor
where 1t looks like perfect unity
might be had. What reason can
any one urge why a grand effort
should not be made at that time to
forward the good work in our coun
ty.
There were two deaths in town

er Of the latter few minutes after
his loss. and, after relating the cir
cumstance, he observed: "Oh. well,
it's no use to grieve." That's only
the nine hundred and sixty-fifth
time he has said that" put in his
friend Mr. Hoskins.
"A young man by the name Of
G. A. Cantrel, Just as he Was board
ing the Dover hack last Saturday,
, was arrested by Sheriff Quinn, fol
carrying a pistol, and carried before
Justice S. n. Evans, and was tried
by him; and discharged. No sooner
had be been released, however, chan
he was again arrested by q warrant
sworn out before Justice Baird, and
by him held TO answer on Tuesday
following. When the case was call

five of our best citizens was impan
neled to try the case, which they dit
and found him guilty, and the cour
assessed his fine at the lowest hmi
