This life ID too full of work, Of
duty, and of pleasure to be wasted.
But every body don't think so, or
they would not tribe with q cold, or
a cough, when DR.. Bulls Cough Syr-
up, the only reliable remedy, can be
procured for Is cents.
"A meeting Of the Temperance peo-
pie and of all who are friendly to the
temperance cause, is called to meet at
the Presbyterian church tomorrow
night, 18th, for the purpose of elect
ing delegates to the temperance con-
vention to meet in Little Rock on the
Goth inst. Let there be a large at
tendance.
"A pitiable sight, Was the man
who walked or rather went on all
fores on our streets last week. The
Mayor and council gave him the
privilege to operate shooting gallery
| without license, the better to enable
the poor fellow to earn a living
rather than beg.
Mr.. T. j. Russell has bought
the M. H. Guest property on Main
st., the old picture gallery, 40 feet
front and 12O back, and will imme-
diately go to work and put up two
good store rooms, framed, and will
have them ready for occupancy by
the first of March next. What is to
him to occupy one himself?
The Christian convention which
| met here on the 8th inst. was not only
a large and enthusiastic body, but It
had the right ring on great many
questions of vital interest to our PEG
pie and especially on the great tenn,
perance question. 1t deserves a
great deal of praise for its aggressive
utterances on this subject.
Another transfer of the Mosely
stock of goods is on hand to be re-
ported. For some cause or other his
sale to Mr.. Semonin d Co. fell
through, and when he sold to Mr.. w.
r. Cook, who took possession last
Monday, and is now ready to make
his most polite bow to the Russell
vile public, and of course will keep
up the we'll known reputation Of the
house for low prices.
The DardanelIe band came over
on last Friday to play at the burial
of Mr.. Will H. Miller, but owing to
the feeble condition of his wife they
did not consider it safe to do so.
They discoursed some excellent mu-
sic on our streets after the burial
was over. Among the members OF
the band, we noticed the versatile
editor of the Post, as much at home
apparently with his horn as with his
pen. This band is composed of q
good looking set of men.
No more conclusive proof OF the
absolute fairness of the Monthly
Drawings of The Louisiana State
Lottery Company, can be given than
the following certificate signed by
Genps Beauregard and Early: 1--WE
do hereby certify that we supervise
the arrangements for all the Month
ly and Seml-Annual Drawings Of

troll the Drawings themselves, and

toward all parties, and we authorize
