Once more we urge upon the
authorities the urgent necessity for re-
pairing or having repaired the many
execrable sidewalks in this town. III IL
be true as DIR. Busbey stated In his re-
cent lecture that there are as
many holes in the sidewalks here as
there are dogs In Constantinople, Is 1t
not time to remedy an evil that every
body can see and one which cannot
escape blind man even. City fathers
arise in your majesty and power and
abate this crying evil.
One ticket in drawing for music
box, $500 dressing case, fine plush

handkerchief extracts, to each cash
purchaser of $1.00 worth of goods at j.

Nothing could be more inviting
than the drug store of w. @. Weimer
In its holiday attire. A moro pleasing
array of fancy goods would be hard to
find. Mr.. Weimer exercised great
taste In his selections and they are so
arranged as to make a brilliant and
dazzling display, completely captlva-
ting all who visit bis store. In the
varied assortment one can find
any thing desired. We advise our
readers to read his new advertise
ment and visit the store and see for
themselves what can there be shown.
JUST RECRIvED.--A big lot OF music
al instruments, which we will sell
cheaper than they have ever been sold
in Russellville before. Anything not
in stock will be ordered as wanted.

esting article on the subject Of propaga-
ting cotton seed, the discovery of
southern planter. which, If true,
promises to reyolutionize the cultiva-
ton of the staple. The story as incred-
ible as it may appear, is we believe
somewhat probable, from the fact that
we have in our Office cotton stalk on
which grew well developed bolls with
seed therin but not vestige of lint on
any of them. This stalk was brought
to this office by Judge N. d. Shinn, and
has been examined by great many
people. all of whom agree that they
never saw any thing like it.
contemplating a change In bust
ness we take this method of informing
those indebted to us that we expect
them to come forward at once and
make settlement. This is imperative
and we mean it. BERNARD BRos.
GROWTH OF BIG Book. When Web
ster's Unabridged was first published
In one volume, it was comparatively
small book. Some years after, an adj
dition was made of 1900 Pictorial H.
Illustrations, A Table of Synonyms, and
an Appendix of New Words that mad
come into use. A few years later came
err size, with 5000 Pictorial Illustration;
then, after an interval of few years,
Biographical Dictionary of nearly
10, 900 Names, and Supplement Of
nearly 5000 New Words were added !;
and now there has come another now
and most valuable addition, A Gazet-
teer of the World, of over $4,000 Titles.
The work is now not only the best Die
tionary of the words of the language,
but is Biographical Dictionary, a Gaz-
etteer of the World, and great many
other good and useful things in its
many valuable Tables.
