 What came very near being fatal accident happened few days ago to Mrs. James M. Harkey while alighting from the night passenger at Lamar. | The conductor did not bring the train ! to a stand-still and m stepping from the moving train she fell upon the platform sustaining painful bruises and injuries. She returned on the east bound pass euger the same night and going to Dr. Fruits residence had her wounds dressed and was made as comfortable as possible. The action of the conduct or is heartily condemned inasmuch as Mrs. Harkey had ticket to the station She was going, and his failure to stop the train will doubtless put the company In for heavy damages, as we eunderstand suit will be brought against the rail- road and pressed to the bitter end.
 Every purchaser of 25 cents worth of cigars, tobacco and snuff gets one ticket In drawing for fine Music Box at J. M. Harkey & Bros.
 The magnificent display of holiday goods now on exhibition at Weimer's Drug Store should be seen by all ad. mirers of art in the way of novelties In lamps, fancy mirrors, pictures, dress ing cases, plush goods, toys, etc., etc., ali the newest designs and finest goods Of the season. The opening began last Thursday and during the day and eye ming the display was witnessed by a large number of delighted visitors and many were the handsome purchases made. The decorations in quality and quantity are admitted by all to be the finest and most attractive ever seen in Russelvllle. The interior of the store was brilliantly illuminated at night, which added greatly to the decorations and surroundings, producing dazzling ef- fleets. The display will continue from day to day and all who desire to see something really artistic in the way of decoration and display should attend.

 --Our mention week before last of the new Thomas direct steam press operat- ing at three different gins in this coun- ty stirred the ire of Brother Moore and in last weeks Mail he indulged pretty freely in his favorite pastime of abus ing the DEMOCRAT, all, because, forsooth, we failed to mention in the local referr- ed to that the same kind of press was in operation at the gins of Reynolds and Embry near Atkins. Our statement was based on information received from Mir. Smith and we know he was honest ly mistaken and is as far from desiring to do any citizen of this county inius- tice as is the DEMOCRAT. It is some consolation to us to know that although ispleasing our cotemporary, we have been instrumental in giving the public knowledge of the excellent press facil- ities Of Messrs. Reynolds and Embry a fact their local paper had overlooked untll lt emOraceu Lnis opportunity to inveigh against the DEMOCRAT. The Mail would have it appear that we de- sired to slight Messrs. Embry and Rey- holds when no such thing was Intend ed or desired, and if the Mail was one half as willing to be fair toward Illinois townshipas the DEMOCRAT is and always has been toward Wilson and every eth CT township in the county. such unwar- ranted filings as appeared in the Mail last week would be few and far between.
