 Rank bills bearing the name of the First National of Russellviile. signed by w. G. Weimer, president, and J. E, Battenfield, cashier, were put in circu- lation last week and were in great re- quest by our citizens. The banks cir eulation for the present will be SIP, ,500.
 1.-The shooting match between the gun clubs of Dardanelle and Russ ell- vile, which took place last Thursday afternoon on the grounds of the latter team, resulted in victory for Russell vile, 75 to 54 being the official score. ! The Dardanelle sp0rtsmen, shootists and base ballists, are a set of splendid i fellows, the noblest in the world, and ] for that reason it gives our boys pleas ure to yanquish them occasionally.

 lone wonld suppose from the words of warning so frequently given that but few, if any, property-holders would neglect to see the tax assessor at some point in his round of the county, and thereby incur the penalty of one dollar which by law attaches for such neglect. But such was not the case. Deputy Puckett reports ind ing thirty dellnquents in one day. This I is sad commentary upon the vigilance and business instincts of the people. One-half of the penalty goes to the school fund, the balance to the deputy

 Prom the number of persons mak. Ing enquiry regarding the authorship of the home-circle communication re- ferred to last week, We are constrained to believe every man in town whose wife Is absent has written similar letter and thought his own production was the one our reporter had reference to. If our recital of the woes of one lonely stay-at-home should result in the rather free use of the wifely broom stick when the absent ones return, we shall be mighty sorry. The excellence of the joke is our excuse for giving publicity to it.
 I Have you watch that needs re. pairs, or some broken jewelry which you wish mended? If so take them tc H. c. Wilkey. the jeweler, and have them repaired in first class order.
 We have recieved from E. J. Strick. land, now residing at Arkadia, Oklaho, ma, an Irish potato 16x9 inches in cir conference, which he vows is only half grown, and specimens of upland oak aeorns which grows, he says, as thick as grass. constituting the finest hog range in the world. All of which goes to show that our vuandam friend is to be henceforth and forever an ell. thusiastic defender Of the wild and woolly west. No more will his voice be raised in praise of the broad acres of I Arkansas soil capable of producing ev- erything under the sun. The old love is thrown off for the new. Too bad. We're sorry Come again. (We ex- pect Oklahoma is pretty good coun- try).
 l II. 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- quired. Give him a trial and If not suited it will cost you nothing. I The DEMOCRAT is advised that if the proper effort be made on the part of the town there is a probability of se- curing for Russellyille the freight di- vision of the Fort Smith road. Under I the existing arrangement freight trains run from Little Rock to Coal Hill, and from Fit. Smith to Coal Hill. The di- vision is unequal and imposes unnec- essary hardships on trainmen. Rus. vile being central between Little Rock and Fort Smith is the natural point for the division. It's location here would mean prestige for the town and busi- ness for our merchants. A mass meet ling should be held to take the initiatory steps toward effeeting this acquisition. How many of our business men will take the lead?
 Desirable lots in the beautiful Tor renee addition to RussellYille have not all been sold. There are several Of them left, and they are bargains too at the price. You can get any informa- ton you want concerning them by ap- plying to the agent l.. H. Bradley, Little Rock. care of the Pacific Express Co.
 In few weeks the arteries of trade will pulsate with the volume of busi- ness flowing through the channels of commerce. It is not too soon then to remind our business men that it Is l time the several roads leading to this town ought to be improved and put in good condition. If the work is not done before the fall rains set In it will not be done at all. Good high ways into town both invite and retain business. They show enterprise and public spirit in keeping with a live and progressive trades center. Do not longer neglect this important de- sideratum. Put all the approaches to town in first class condition and the increased business will amply compen- sate for the outlay.
