Immense Sale of Town Lots in Hopefeld,
 Arkansas.

INHE trustees for the Memphis and Hopefeld 4 Real Estate Association have determined to sell out the lands and close up the business of said company, and will, on the l2th day of April, 1859, sell out the town of Hopefeld, in lots at public auction, to the highest bidder.
 Hopefeld is destined to be one among the great cities of the west, situated as it is opposite the city of Memphis, Tenn. on the western bank of the great Mississippi river at the eastern terminus of the Memphis and Little Rock railroad, the only railroad in operation between St. Louis and New Orleans that penetrates the Great World west of the Mississippi river, and the road which will in few years csnnect Hopefed with the Pacific Ocean. and the southern terminus of the St. Louis and Iron Mountain railroad. Beng backed by the richest country in the world, now so rapidly being opened and put into useful cultivation the proprie tors deem it unnecessary for them to say a word to show to the public that Hopefeldi bound to be the emporium where the commerce of the great es- tern world will center.
 The trustees will also sell all the lands belong ing to said company consisting of about 5000 acres within few miles of Memphis.

Died-At his residence near Wild flaws, lzard county, Arkansas, on the 26th January, 1859, WILLIAM CRIswELL, in the 59th yqar of his age. INDENEO The deceased emigrated from Montgomery county, Tenn, to Independence county, Ark. in 1918, and together with his wife joined the Methodist church at Clear Spring in 1925, and has ever since enjoyed the position of con- sistant pious member. For 2S years past he has been citizen of Izard county, and by his chris tian department has made many warm and last ing friends. His trials through life have been great, yet he murmured not and although his last illness was long, and his sufferings very acute he bore them with patience and resigna- tion, and ever maintained cheerful lively tem- per. He leaves an aged and afflicted wife (the companion of his youth,) one daughter and many friends to mourn his loss To his church and neighborhood the loss is great but to his bereaved wife it is greater and deeply do we sympathise with her. We feel assured that ere long they will meet again where pains and sor. rows are not known
