What you can't find in Russellyille
in the way of a convenience you need
not look for anywhere. Are you sick !?
Here half dozen doctors. In trouble!
| AS many lawyers. Do you want goods
The cleyerest merchants in the world.
Are you hungry? Our hotels can't be
beat. Do you want to look at pretty girls,
here they are. voluptuous and numer-
Gus, and on the carpet. If you want a
wagon, or horse shod, you can get 1T
here in short order. Or perhaps you
want your house painted. 1t was never
done better than Two native boys here
can do it. A dozen coal mines and
| thousands of wood are in stones throw,
! if you want 20 invest In manufacturing.
And more children and better build
! ing, and as fine teachers as could be
desired, If it's school you are after.
| An engine built or a boiler patched or
machinery overhauled, two finer me-
! chanics in the west can't be found than
here. The photographer is here to
take your picture, the miller to grind
your corn, the planer to plane your
lumber, and the shoemaker to make
your shoes, and---well, if it's news
paper you want, we hit you pat, the
DEMocKAT, the reliable journal. 1t has
stood the storm of many winters, and
fought the battles for the last II years,
it can supply the want we know. Or
if you are hunting Brother of Free
dom store, you can find this, also, and
a better humored postmasters you
never saw or benedicfs more anxious to
marry. Well, what lack we yet? A
bank, a steam lanyard, fruit canning
factory, and thousand good citizens.
We are informed that our neighbor
city, Just over the way in Yell, Is in
need of certain style of public build
ing, which is used for certain pur-
pose, and called by the suggestive
name of Calaboose. We take pleasure
in calling our neighbor's attention to
the fact that we have good one built
in other days and under other condi-
lions, conditions which now hold high
carnival over there, so we are Informed;
but which with our higher type OF
morality and civilization, have fled
from us. This building made of stone,
with iron doors, which no unfortunate
victim of whisky can break, is perfect
ly useless to us now; and having no
furthur use for it under our peaceful
banners of a temperate people, who are
wise enough to see the evils of drunk
enness, and resolute enough to Danish
them, we will contract to deliver the
same to our nighbor TO meet her urgent
need, at, say one half the the cost OF
building one from the ground. In fact
rather than have the thing standing
here as memento of the days when we
were foolish enough to approve the
policy which makes calaboosc neces-
sary for our neighbor, we will agree to
ship it over for the cost of shipping
only, taking for our pay the satisfaction
which grows out of the fact of having
placed thing which is utterly useless
to this community on account OF its
high state Of moral advancement, IN
