Year: 1875

Quite number of commer-

 cial travellers from various houses

 were in town last week, but as

 they did not think enough of the

 trade of our town to place their

 ads. in the DEMOCRAT, it IS more

 than propable that their houses

 will not again have q thought

 from our merchants until some

 other representative of the house

 makes a fruitlcss trip to our town. l Parent. your boy will read a

 paper much more greedily than

 he will his books, and will conse-

 quentlv learn to read faster--

 much faster--if you will keep .

 we'll printed newspaper in the

 house. And besides it will make

 an intelligent, sensible, PRAcTICA-

 BILE boy out of him. Just such a paper as you need is the Russell

 vile DEMOCRAT, and your duty to

 yourself and your boy and your

 country should prompt you to

 put your name upon our subscrip-

 tion books at once.

 -ATTENTIoS.-All admlnistra-

 tors, guardians and executors who

 are indebted to us for publication

 of filing of accounts current are

 hereby notified to come forward

 and pay the fee. We presume all

 who are in debt to us on this

 score are aware of it, but if all

 these dues are not paid within two weeks we will take it for granted that the delinquents have forgotten it and we will publish a list of their names.

 We h a great complaint of much inconvenitn n e to the public from the ordinance governing liv- cry stables. Under this ordi- nance no one can haul load of anything within the incorporation without license, nor can he even hire his wagon or horse for any purpose whatever. This creates q monopoly in favor of the livery stable which does not keep half enough either stock CT vehicles to accommodate the demand. Hence great int onvenience to the 1 public.

 YOUR DUTY.-You citizens of our town who have never yet had your names on our subscription books. do you think you are doing your duty as good citizens? Do you think ytu are making any money by within oldiDg your little Dollar and a half? Don't you know that the influence of this paper is every day giving tone and prestige and prominence to your towny You are reaping the benefit as much as anybody else, and we ask are you too hard run or stingy to help sustain the pa per which is working for you?

 Our young friends Renfrow & Mosely keep the only exclusive Grocery and Provision house in Russellville, and they prove them selves to be the right men in the right place. We observe they have just received a nice fresh supply of family groceries, and q handsome supply of confection- cry for the holidays. They keep things moving by selling for short profits, and for goods in their line you should be sure to give them q call.

 We are very glad to know that Rev. w. J. Dodson has been returned by Annual Conference to Gala Rock Circuit, and will be a citizen of our town for another year. We are already under a debt of gratitude to our good friend for repeated favors, and he now places us under renewed obli- gations for short synopsis of the proceedings of Annual Confer encc, which we give in another place in this paper.

 ALL HONOR TO THE BRAvE.- The Gazette, that staunch friend of the people and true friend of Arkansas, has just entered upon its 57th year. Although like all other papers, the Gazette at times gets q little of the right track,-as it's present position on the currency question will attest

 its good qualities far ovcr-bal- ance these little deviations from the path of rect,t,de and virtue, and we wish it yet another pros porous career through our second hundred years; and may the Gen. tennial of 1876 still find the Ga zette fiourishing as tree planted by the rivers.

 A NEWSPAPER is read by hun dreds who never see the attractive bills which are posted in the tav- ern and the store rooms. Every subscriber to a country paper reads all such advertisements carefully. He knows who is sell ing out and exactly what is offered for sale. The result is a large crowd, spirited bidding, and q realization of ten, twenty or fifty times what it cost to advertise.
