RusseIlville Court House,

Darddnelle POST
Our neighbors over in Pope are still
| having court house fun. 1t appears
| that during the long contest for the To-
cation there grew up in the county
much i'll feeling toward Russellyille,
| and now that the matter is settled and
! the court house is nearing completion,
! there is complaint that the building is
not up to contract. Also it is SAID that
! individual citizens of Russellville have
enjoined the payment by the city of an
| appropriation from the treasury for the
purpose of aiding in the construction.
In the above our always esteemed
contemporary, the Post, has, quite
unlntentionally we are sure, done an
act of injustice to Russelville, the
courthouse bondsmen and the peo
pie Of the county who voted the
county seat to Russellville. The
fact is the building alluded to is not
only sup to contract" but is larger
and better building than the bond
calls for. The materials used IN its
construction and the workmanship
Of the mechanics employed in it.
erection are of the best, and the
structure as it stands to-day is q
monument to the generosity of the
citizens of Ru.sellvllle who have of
their own substance, and without
the cost of q cent to the county,
caused its erection. Not only this,
but it is acknowledged by all who
have examined 1t unblinded by silly
prejudice, to DE one OF the neatest
best and most conveniently arranged
courthouses in the state, and decid
eddy better than any in the fifth cir
cult. The editor of the Post is cor
daily invited to come over and see
for himself AS to the injunction
against the payment Of an appro
priation by the city council to aid in
the construction of the building,
that unfortunately is true, and the
case will be decided at the next
term of circuit court. A large ma
jori:y of the people of Russellvllle
favor the appropriation. Whether
the case be lost or gained by the
parties favorlng the appropriation
cuts no figure so far as the compile
tion OF the courthouse is concerned.
That will be finished and paid for by
the bondsmen according to the slip
ulations OF the contract.

franchise is the dearest boon to the
American people, the privilege to

conducive TO the prosperity and hap

con sentative of their inherent and

From these official figures it appears
that every necessary amendment to

can be made at cost not to exceed
that Of new convention. That 10 to

State Experiment Stations II
Arkansas.


At meeting Of the Board OF Trus-
tees, the following programme was
adopted: There will be four princi
pal stations established. The loca
tions decided npon were Jonesboro,
Fayetteville, Pine Bluff and Tex
arkana, each OF which will be under
the direct control Of officers.
There will be six sta
tions established in charge OF practical
and successful farmers, working CO.
ordinately under the general director
-Four OF these have been located.
They will be in Philips, Lincoln,
Drew and 0uachits counties. The
other two are not as yet decided up
on. The general Office will be at
Fayetteville, where samples may be
analysed, specimens examined. and,
in short made depot from whence
fertilizers, seeds, etc, will be sent
out, and where all laboratory work
will be done. The plan, adopted,
will give all sections Of the State
representation. The general officers
of the station will make it their
duty TO travel over the State con-
stantly in order that the needs OF
crops may be attended to. Insects
injurious TO vegetation, plant dis
eases, the acelimation of stock, 70
tation OF crops, fruit culture, testing
new seeds, the valuation OF fertilizers
and OF different forage crops; the
benefits accruing from fertilizing,

OF the principal lines in which work
will be done.

follow an attack Of measles. The re

ELLAviLLE. Ga, March 81, 1887.
by Dear Sirs-I have used your
S. S. S. medicine with exceptional
benefit on patients convaleselng from
measles. A feature of that disease
is that it leaves the mucous mem
brane chronically infiamed-that IS,
the Inflammation continues from
four to six months. I have given it
to several patients just getting out
of bed from the measles, and always
with tue happlest results.
/ also used S. 5. S. in GONZALES
cent fever cases with the best result.
1t will, in my judgment, prevent
summer dysentery, if one will take a
few bottles in the spring, thus pre-
pairing the bowels for the strains OF
summer.
am prompted to send you this
letter, because just now l am aware
that measles prevail In Southwest
Georgia. While l hesitate to APP
pear as a voucher for proprietary
remedies, S. S. S. has become such
standard medicine with many regu
lar physicians. that / am relieved Of
the embarrassment ordinarily at
tached TO regular physicians en-
dorsement of proprietary medicines.
Besides the claims of suffering hu
mainly are greaterthan selfish profes
sional ethics. Yours sincerely,
