looms they have established Churhes.
That is not the great improvement.
1t is the cheap goods at Church's.
Try them.
Col. w. L. Morris, our efficient
business manager goes to Little Rock
where he is booked for a paper BE-
fore the State Teachers Association
and the association on that occasion
is booked for treat. We also no

formerly of Russellville, on the list
of discussions on an important part
of the programme, and that part Will
be ably handled also, and still again
we find Prof. j. II. Shinn, on the
programme for an address on "The
necessity for Normal schools" Well,
Prot. Shlnn knows it and if he don't
tell it 10 the asso citation it won't be
because his tongue isn't swung on
a double pivot.
Improvement is still the order of
the day. Mr.. A. M. Bradley is build
ING quite an addition to his resi-
dence on jefferson street which will
add much to its comfort and conye-
/ nience. Mr.. r. G. Bonds on Long
street is lifting the south part of his
residence from q one TO two story
building and when completed will
entirely remodel It's appearance. Mr..
James Winchester is building a res
idence in the Terrence addition.
Quite number of minor improve
ments in all quarters were noted,
among them the awning in front of
/ Turner d Critics furniture store,
and we want it distinctly understood
that we keep our pencil sharpened
ready to note several other improve.
ments, among them the making Of a
side walk from Jefferson street out
to the DEMocRAr office.
A sample of new style cotton { y
was shown us the other day, that is,
we suppose it was intended for cot
ton as 1t was taken out of the center
of bale of cotton which Mr..
Jas. II. Shlnn had bought for t he
cotton mills a week or so
back. The sample consisted of a
cast cog wheel and pea, and both
together weighed 254 pounds and at
l6 IA cents pound, the price paid
for the cotton brought the owner Of
4 the cotton If these things got
into that bale of cotton through mis-
take, it certainly was tall specimen
Of carelessness, but If they got in
there as business investment, GER
tainly that man, or boy. or whoever
is might be, is sadly lacking in bust
ness sense, for he should know that
this sort OF business falls in the line
OF that which begins with the grand
Jury and ends with the penitentiary,
and he should moreover know that
for his own protection every thought
full merchant keeps an elaborate cot
ton book in which Is recorded the
weight, the number, the gin from
whom bought, date and the price of
every bale of cotton he buys, so that
if ANYTHING is wrong with it, 1t can
|, be easily traced back to the parties
|, who first handled it. Mr.. Shinn al
so mentions water packed bale
that was opened some time ago, that
had something near twenty five
pounds of wet fakes about two inches
thick in the center of it. OF course
: he can trace these back both to the
gins and the parties from whom he
bought them. Our people aud gin.
ners especially cannot be too careful
y about handling cotton.
