 H. c. Wilkey. the jeweler, and have them repaired In first class order.
 -Captain ". B. Mcdonald is again In charge Of the depot at this place
 much to the qualification of his many friends. We can say without fear ol sU ecessful contradiction that no station on this road ar any other, has more competent, painstaking aud uniformly courteous and deservedly popular agent than Is Capt. Mcdonald. He has serv- ed our people so long and acccptably that to lose him for another however
 worthy would be considered a great loss. Russellville is certainly very proud of his retention in the position he has filled so long.

 The Democrat Is sincerely pained to learn of the death of Allen c. Math. ews, late editor of the Des Arc Guidon. It was in the office of the Des Arc Git zen, edited by Mir. Mathews, some twen. ty years ago, that this writer learned the first principles of the topographic art. In our intercourse with him we ever found him possessed of the char. acteristics of gentleman. He was en' dowed with striking individuality, imbued with commendable public spir- it, and ardently devoted to his profess ion. In his death his family and the community in which helived suffer ire parable loss. Peace to his ashes. I have just received a new lot oi ladies and gents solid gold and filled watches. The cases are elegant and the movements are of American make. do not sell limitations. H. c. Wilkey.
 Notwithstanding the persistent and vigorous shaking up postal officials are receiving everywhere annoying and inexcusable mistakes continue to be made. Mir. T. H. Elgfn, of the Russ ellville Marble Works, recently missed $200 order on account of the letter containing the same being sent to Rus sellville, Ky, instead of Russellyille, Ark, being so delayed in conse- other firm. MT. Ed Bernard, whose family is visiting in Kentucky, received letter last Wednesday from his wife which was marked mis-sent, notwith- standing the address onltwas printed iD plain type. Instances of similar blum ders and mistakes could be given every day. Is safe to say that the mail service was never so wretchedly performed as now and so little regard paid to the ac- commodation of the public. As bad as It IS the people will have to be patient and forbearing until the advent of the next administration. then some regard vii be paid to the rights and wishes oi the public by the powers that be.
 H. c. Wilkey, the jeweler, has made the business of spectacle and eye glass fitting special study and is now prepared to fit complicated defects of vision on shsrt notice. He tests each eye separately and gives the required lenses necessary, in any style frame re- quirsd. Give him a trial and If not suited it will cost you nothing.
 Quite sensation was created here Saturday by suit begun in the Coun- ty Court by J. II. Battenfield to con- test the right of J. F. Mnnday to the office ef Mayor of Russellviile. At the election held April 7th Munday and Battenfleld were oposing candidates for Mayor and the former was declared elected. The contestant alleges ia his complaint that the two democratic judges, Messrs. A. Bernard and E. J. Strickland, falsely and fraudulently counted the votes" so as to declare Mr. Munday elected, and that the republi- can judge c. W. Richards "opeuly re- fused to sign said certificate because he openly declared that said count was false and fraudulent and that he would not sign the same" The contestant further ayers that number of voters not qualified electors voted against con testant, thus materially changing the result of the election. A DEMOCRAT reporter has examined the poll books and finds that the election officers sign ed the oath required to be taken before entering upon their duties, but did not make certificate attesting the correct ness of the count. The judges being seen say they omitted the certificate through insdvertance, thinking their signatures to the oath was all that was required of them. As 10 the falsinea- tion of the ballots 80 AS to show Mir. munday elected the charge is so ridicu- lously absurd as to be beneath notice. MT. Richards, the republican judge says he never at any time refused to sign the returns and has not openly or other wise said aught to discredit the fairness of the election. So much for .hat charge. There may have been | some persons allowed to vote, who | were not legally entitled to suffrage, but | here was as many on one side as on | he other as an investigation will show. The democrats ask, court and demand | fair, full and free investigation of the | natter, and have the utmost confidence i n the outcome. The bondsmen for the are K. F. Roys, K. D. Love nd II. c. Wilkey. Bradley & Fowler re the attorneys for Battenheld. The auss will be heard at the July term of ounty court.
