 Mir. w. D. Russell senior member of
 the Russell Coal and Mining Co, now living in St. Louis, is in town visiting
 friends. and looking after business inter-
 ests. Mir. Russell is quite enthusiastic over the situation here and ventures the prediction that inside of five years Rus sellville will have 5000 inhabitants and
 be in the centre of coal development
 not equalled outside of the anthracite regions of Pennsylvania. When MT. Russell made his investments here he offered some predictions with reference to the progress of our mining industries which have been fully realized. This

 To g1ve some idea Of the possibilities of vegetable culture iu this county be- low is given few of the succeeding crops that can be grown upon the same piece of ground In one year Irish po- tatoes can be followed by sweet potatoes or melons, and lastly, by turnips; or the potatoes can be followed by potatoes and two full crops be made. Two crops of corn were grown the past year on the same ground, the last being planted when the first was in the roasting ear state. Spring cabbage is followed by melons turnips. Beets, tomatoes and turnips are frequently grown succeeding each other, and many other combinations like this are made, thus harvesting from two to four crops during the year.
 If. C. W1ikey, the JeWeler, has made the business of spectacle and eye glass fitting especial 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 1t will cost you nothing.
 The most important matter connect ed with the approaching municipal elec- ton is the question of the mayoralty succession. Capt. J. w. Russell is now serving his sixth term in that office and the record he has made marks success sion of administrations which have been an honor to him and a credit to the town. Thoroughly identified as he is with every interest of the town, aggres- sive in public spirit and enterprise, and fearless in the execution of the law, he is an ideal officer. and one we take it, whose services Russellville cannot afford to dispense with yet while. We do not know that Capt. Russell can be induced to stand again for the place, but believ- ing him to be eminently the right man for 1t, the DEMOCRAT nominates him here and now for his own successor.
