Proposed TelegrAph.

MR. EDrToR: I see that the people of Lit tie Rock have taken stock sufficient to secure the erection of line of Telegraph from Memphis to that place. and that the line is to follow the Memphis and Little Rock railroad survey. Also, that the citizens of Browns vile, will in all probability, get branch to that point. Now, shall we stand idle and do nothing towards securing the advantages of telegraph to Des Arc? l am in favor of taking stock sufficient to build an independent line from Des Arc to Memphis. We can do it who says we can't? I know there is en- terprise enough here and in the surrounding country to do it. Get up the subscription, and man will not be wanting to do the work. Let us go it on our 'E own hook," have line ourselves. And, if our sister county town (Brownsville) is cut off entirely, when we get our line, I am in favor of helping her to build branch from here there. Why not? :? Both towns are in Prairie county; their in- terests do not conflict. Let us help one an- other, and rejoice in each others prosperity. Let us have meeting of the citizens of Des Arc, at an early day and see what can be done. DIES ARC.

TIE LADIES' FAIR.-The Ladies' Fair, the proceeds of which are to aid in completing the Baptist Church edifice, come off on Tues day and Wednesday evening, last. The peo- pIe of Des Arc, and adjacent country, are pro- verbal for their liberality in aiding the erection of houses of worship. Some six or seven years since the house now occupied by our Presbyterian friends and Miss Blacks s Female Academy, was built by the liberality of the then few residents of the town. For several year. it was occupied by different de- nominations, each taking their turn upon the "ride and tie' principle Some tn ee years since Rev. A. R. WIN FIELD, then Presiding Elder of the Metho- dist Episcopal Church, obtained liberal sub scrption towards erecting the present large that denomination. It was finally completed ! by additional subscriptions and the several Fairs which were held. Last year, our Bap- tst friends, through the exertions of Rev. H. T. WEArHEaLy, started the project of erect < ing house of worship. With their usual &lberality, all classes 'lent the helping hand' and the house was erected and partially en- s closed last fall
 8 But the ladies resolved that this ediice , should be completed, and about month since announced their determination to give Fair and devote the proceeds to it's benefit. J. T. PARHAM, Esq, the gentlemanly contractor, instantly placed workmen within the building the floors, windows, &c.,, were completed in due time, and on Tuesday and Wednesday nights throng of lovely women and gallant men, could be seen promenading through the new building. Tables loaded with edibles and refreshments of every kind were interspersed < throughout, and while beauty, loveliness, amiabiity, and all that can fascinate and at E tract, offered to serve the "sojourner there,"
 they were met with liberal spirit by the @ purchaser, and many gentleman's well-lined < pocket was emptied of its dollars, and the
 ladies' made the recipients of several hundred Baptist Church building.
 S Men are said to be the "cashier's of the
 world" but in this instance the order was re-
 Versed, and the ladies' reigned supreme. They { Were the cashier's, not only of "the funds,'
 put by universal consent "carried off the affec- X tlohs" of LARGE number of young men. A 1he result, doubtless, will be in short time, E taat several af-FAIRs will be the consequence, sih which the Parson will be the recipient of
 FEES, and the bride and groom will divide af-
 fections. n
 The Fair throughout was well attended--the
 pest possible feeling existed-and in few
 weeks the "churchgoing bell" will summon tue hearer to attend worship at the new Bap-
 ost Church edifice.
 The amount realised at the above FaiI
 amounted to $309.55 after all expenses were
 paid,
