The Russellville Democrat., 1890-05-08

Last Thursday night when Mr.. r..
F. Youngblood returned homo from the
entertainment at the college he dis
covered that his horse was gone. A
bride left in the crib was also gone.
As was quite natural he concluded both
had been stolen. He instituted q rigid
search for clues but without avaii. The
rain having obliterated all evidence Of
the flight. Saturday morning the horse
returned home minus the bride and
very much jsded. Who the borrower"
was and what the motive. 10 At present
a mystery.
Gentlemen. the time is fast approach
ing, when you will need supply OF
underwear, white or flannel shirts, .
nobby hat or summer suit, but don't
buy until jacobson has shown you the
good things he has for you.
lon Saturday May II will occur the
annual school elections for the sclec-
ton Of directors and the leving Of tax
es for the support OF public schools.
The Office of school director is very
important and especial cars should be
taken In their selection. In this dis
trict two are to be chosen to fill the
places OF w. M. Oates and l.. M. Smith
whose terms have expired They have
made faithful and efficient officers and
public sentiment is largely In favor Of
their retention. As to the tax, OF
course the limit OF the law--five mills,
will be voted. There will be scarcely
any opposition TO 1t.
It Is q we'll known fact that jacobson
displays more taste In selecting dry
goods, uses better judgment In buying
only the best makes of shoes, carries
the best and most carefully selected
line OF clothing and places the lowest
prices on all his goods.
The variableness OF the weather
makes the possession ola philosophic
turn Of mind handy thing TO have
around, In the agricultural districts
especially. Besides the floods Of rain,
we have had unseasonably csol wealth
or. A decidedly cool wave swept down
from the north Tuesday morning.
Farming operations are more backward
than for years, 30 much, IN fact, that 1t
IL very generally conceded that the
raising of good corn crop Is an I'M
possibility without an exceptionally
favorable late season. There Is time
vet for cotton. tit be true that "a bad
beginning insurcs good ending" and
1t holds good this season. our farmer
friends win be "nying" At harvest.
I'm selling the cheapest, the medium
and best
At prices so frightfully lower than
others,
That homes to be happy and homes to
to be blest,
Men must say to their children, their
wives and their mothers,
notwithstanding the unfavorable
weather last Friday morning the Little
Rock excursion train pulled into the
depot promptly at IL 30 bearing " or
80 excursionists from Little Rock,
Conway, Morriiton, intent upon inspect
ing the Layman-Rice Railway Water
Meter at the company's tank on the
D q r Railway. At this place the
party was augmented by dozen or
more. Arriving at the tank several
exhibitions OF the new invention were
given. In the party were several gentle
men who had extensive knowledge OF
machinery,l others who are practical
railroad men, and still others compe-
tent to Instantly recognize q good
thing when they see it, all Of whom
were entirely satisfied with the test,
and pronounced the "principle" all
right. The DKMOcRAT gave q correct
description of the invention two weeks
ago, hence 1t IL unnecessary to de5cribe
It further. The company propose erect
ing another Meter at Little Rock on q
larger and more substantial scale,
when there will be another test, at
which there will be railroad magnates
and distinguished gentlemen from all
over the country to pass judgement on
what now appears to be one Of tho
greatest inventions Of modern times. |
Mr.. J. II. Gamer took . photograp
view Of the motor and the party. The
DEMocRAr representative Is indebted 70
Mai. Bourland, G. w. Shinn and
Messrs. Layman and Rice for fayors.
jacobson has informed his friends
and patrons on several occasions that
he will do only q strictly
cash business, and in order 70 prove
that concern Of this kind 10 wanted
here, will underseli ali competition ct
home and duplicate any prices quoted
from St. Louis, Little Rock, or any 9TH
or REPUTABLE market.
