,"FoRT SMITH TRAcT SOCIETY,"
On the evening Of the lst inst. q meeting was
held nt the Church in this place for the purpose of
establishing Society for the distribution ofTracts
in this Town and the adjoining country. Several
remarks were made upon the utility and benevo-
lence of such a Society, and upon the good which
would eventually accrue from its formation, and,
therefore upon the importance of having regular
organized Society, to consist of President, Vice
President, Secretary and Treasurer and three Man.
ayers. Tho nominations were accordingly made,
seconded, and concurred in by the meeting. Maj.
ID. Hunter, Of the U. S. A. was appointed Presi-
dent. A subscription list asopened for tho pur.
pose of Procuring funds for the purchase of Tracts
and subscribers to the amour, of thirty-three dol.
lars obtained. The Tracts to be procured from
some city thought most advisable by the Society
and to be distributed monthly. The Society has
on hand sufficient tracts for two months distrbu
ton.
1t is sincerely believed by this Society, that it
will be the means of doing much good, and the
reason of its publishing this notice, is tho hope that
our example may be thought worthy of imitation
by our brethren of other towns, particularly, those
ofthis State. .. .ra
