 -The Russellville delegation on the boat excursion from Dardanelle last Thursday evening was quite small, though well attended from other points. Two trips were made up the river some nine miles from the landing. As the boat moved quietly over the water, the strains of sweet music. softened by the gentle rays of the moon, threw oyer all spell of intense delight. The occa- sion was made douhlv pleasant for the visitors by the civility of the gentlemen and the courteous attention on the part of the ladies.
 A notice of the annual examination of teachers and of the forthcoming teachers' institute was sent us by Prof. Rayburn for publication some time ago, but was unaccountably misplaced and its publication prevented. We are very sorry of the occurrence, for the DEMOCRAT is the unswerving friend of education and delights to give publicity to all information relating thereto. We are promised another article relating to the teachers institute, which togeth- CT with the programme of the same, we hope soon to place before our readers.
