The Russellville Democrat., 1892-09-15

The DEMOCRAT is indebted to DIR.
W. G. Renfrow for a copy Of the Tran
script containing an illustration of the
new University building at Norman and
a well written descriptive article setting
forth its numerous advantages. We are
glad to know that such broad educa-
tional spirit prevails In the new country.
Prof. VIM. M. waldschmidt, Of
Stephansport, XIV. has accepted the POI
siti0n Of first assistant OF the public
school and will arrive this week to enter
upon his duties. Prof. WaIdsehmidt
comes highly recommended and will
doubtless prove a valuable acquisition to
our able corps Of instructors.
Mr.. w. /. Pollock of Wilson town
ship was in town Tuesday. He is one of
the oldest magistrates, in point of con-
tinuous service, in the county, having
served in that capacity, we believe, since
1874. And he has just been elected for
another term. He makes good official,
and is in every way a first-class man.
Our passenger depot and Office is in
receipt Of supplies in keeping with their
improving appearance since being paint
ed. These consist of lamps shades and two
beautiful Japaned ware water coolers,
one for the office, the other for the wait
ing room. Russellville's station is now
one of the handsomest and best furnish
ed on the road.
II. G. Wilkey, the Jeweler, has made
the business of spectacle and eye glass
fitting a special study, and is now pre-
pared to fit complicated defects Of vision
on short notice. He tests each eye sep
arately and gives the required lenses
necessary, in any style frame required
Give him trial and if not suited it vii
cost you nothing.
The revival meeting at the Christian
church is still going on, and will prob
ably continue throughout the week.
Twelve additions to the church have
been made during the meeting. Servic-
es are held each evening, beginning at
AS, by Eds. Hedrick and Wright. The
public generally are cordially invited to
attend these meetings.
Miss Roena Y. Lane, Of Senatobia,
Miss, will open Millinery store in Rus
sellville about October /. Miss Lane
will carry complete stock in the mil
linery and fancy goods line, and by fair
dealing and strict attention to business
hopes to merit a reasonable share of pub
lie patronage She has ample expert
ence, qualifying her for the business in
hand.

ment the Iron Mountain Railway will

MIA Railway to Washington and return

The Inauguration of new sleeping
car service between Little Rock and New
Orleans via of the Iron Mountain, the
ttIiTdl Aihdusds "a 4<OibhCih
Line and the Texas Pacific Railway, is
the elimination of long cherished de-
sign entertained by the management to
connect more closely the great North
West and the gulf ports. When all the
arrangements under way are perfected 1t
will mark new era in rallroading in
this section. The Fort Smith road will
then become a connecting link between
svStarpc reaching from Kansas CITY to
New Orleans, over which will be seen a
passenger service which in luxurious
appointment and speed will be the equal
OF any In the state. The company is
having substantial iron bridges built
and steel rails laid for the safety OF its
fast trains and heavy freight business.
This route will be the shortest between
the points mentioned and will at once
bound into great popularity with the
travelling public.
