CONFERENCE.

This body, which convened at Des Arc on the 18th inst, for the transac- ton of business pertaining to the M. E. Church in southern Arkansas, after very pleasant session of five or six days adjourned, on Tuesday last to meet in Warren next year. To most of our citizens, this session of confer ence, was indeed feast and to our town we do not hesitate to say, it was a great blessing. We were ourselves greatly pleased and thoroughly con vinced that no one on earth is more in earnest in his desire to do good and share in the great work of "sprcading scriptural Holiness over the land' than the travelling Methodist Preacher, nor is there in our judgment, an element in all the land that, SO effectually reaches the hedges and byways--the waste places of the world-with the great truths of the Gospel, as does this Meth odist tItinerancy. We repeat that it was pleasant time and profitable too to many we dare say. Time and space will not allow detailed account of all the business done, let it suffice in this article to say that much was accom- plished for the furtherance of the in- terests of the Church, and all the preachers seemed to be in the enjoy ment of the very highest spirituality arising from their entire consecration to the work of the ministry. To look upon that grand army of Holy men, assembled in conference, to see their harmonious action, all filled with the richness of brotherly love, was enough to call to almost any heart desire to be worthy place in their midst. There was Bishop Marvin, the soul of Digni- ty, his face filled with the marks of in tellectuality and picty breathing in his every utterance. Then Hunter, the great good preacher, Winfield, the earnest worker, Radcliffe, the pious and honest man, loved by every body, Browning, Cobb, Manly, and host of others, all told the observer by their presence and speech that christianity had indeed faithful teachers in this Little Rock Conference. Of course, we had much good earnest preaching during the time, but of all the sermons we cannot make mention. On We'd nesday night Dr. Browning, from Cam- den, preached telling sermon upon the providence of God. As he in the grandest eloqucnce portrayed the ex- cellencies iof Gods proyidences and told of the fullness of the christians trust. But few dry eyes could be found in the house. On sabbath morn ing, Bishop Marvin preached feeling sermon upon the duty and responsibil- ity of the christian ministry. An at tempt to describe this sermon would be vain in us. We know it was a great sermon, every heart was touched by tue good mans utterances, and the moist eyes and fervent amens told un- mistakably that new vows were made that day to be more blameless in life and more earnest in the ministry of tho word by every preacher present.
 Truly this assemblage of the preach CTS in Des Arc was an event that will not soon be forgotten nor will their influence and example be without fruit in the future.

DIES ARG MALE AND FEMALE
 SEMINARY,

Project after project has been set on foot in Des Arc, to build up respect able school, by the erection of suita- ble house, but all have failed. We have written upon the subject until we had we'll nigh despaired. But after lapse of time we again approach the subject with hope renewed. Our peo- ole have set on foot plan or rather determination to try and build first class Academy in Des Arc, to be placed under the care of the Methodist church. We unhesitatingly pronounce the plan n good one and to it we will lend our support. We need school in Des Arc, permanently established and com ,etently managed. This we cannot have until we have built suitable house. Our position and advantages of situation avail us nothing in build sng up a town, nay city, unless we by our enterprise hold out some induce meut to the better classes of society to settle in our midst. True our churches sneak volumes in our favor but when the same man who is by them attracted asks ns what advantages his children wila.haye with ns ? where arc our school houses? Our answer must be there are none. It is high timc we were waking up from this foolish sleep. We have built bridges, othor improvements nave had our attention. and now 1t IS time we were looking to this impor- tant matter. We need a schoci-house' our position as city demands it, our individual interests are enhanced by IL, cur duty to each other and. ourselves demand 1t and the scores of children in Des Arc arc so many arguments in Its favor. The cause of education has by us all been too much overlooked and in matters of this kind our negligence has grown too fast upon us. It is true weare poor, but our very poverty cries out and demands of us that as all else is gone and we cannot leave to our children any other inheritance we give to them an education, riches that can not be affected by the fortunes of war or the changes of circumstances. We repeat, it is time the people of Des Arc were becoming alive to this great mat ter of education. Other towns of less importance and far inferior in point of situation and local surroundings are at work for this cause, and why not this people. We do not know what the precise plan now proposed is, but this we know, the object is to build up a good school and for this reason we favor it. It is true we may not be able to accomplish all at once, but let us put our shoulder to the wheel and work for it's accomplishment, work with a will and with might that will in time prevail. It is within the bound of possibility to build good school house or academy or college in Dcs Arc, and every citizen of the county ought to feel it his bounden duty to work until it is done. If we once so determine. it will not be long till our want In this particular is satisfied and the walls of permanent seat of learning will stand as an advertisement to the world that in Des Arc can be found all the advan- tages desired by wealth, intelligence and maraliiy.

~ We were handed few days ago a number of the Baltimore Episcopal Methodist and asked to notice it in our paper-we do so cheerfully, since read inc it's able editorials and examining its interesting general matter. The Epis- eopal Methodist is published in Balti- more, Md, is an eight page weekly, well gotten up, and thoroughly devo- ted to the interest of Southern Metho- dism. Rev. Dr. Bond principal Ed : tor, wields a powerful pen, and treats ably and scripturally such subjects as are of interest to the general reader.-- The best and ablest Divines ofthe coun- try are contributors to this journal, and every means are employed to make this paper religious family newspa- per. All communications addressed to the Editor or Publisher, No. 226 Balti- more St., will meet with prompt atten- 'io"' =. -
 mS- On the 2lst of next month our people willbe again called upon to cast their vote in a matter of vital impor- tancc to this portion of Prairie coun- ty. We mean the establishment of a District Court at Des Arc. It is need less for us in this article to set forth the advantages that would accrue to our city, and we might say the whole county from this step. In q former article upon this subject we said the interests of the whole county would be advanced by the location of this Court at Des Arc. We again say the same thing. There is not in Prairie county one township that would ex- perieace the least inconvenience by acting with ns in this matter, what ever their plans may be in the western portion of the county they will not be interferred with. In the location at Des Are of this Court the main object is to benefit the whole county, for whatever is of advantage to one part is of advantage to the whole. As 1t IS Des Arc is too far removed from the present county seat for the transachoh of 4nc large amount of legal business that is consequent upon the trade of the most important commercial point in the county. Let us have court af this place and very much of the 1ncon- venicncc now attending matters of a legal kind will be remcdicd, the con venience of very large portion of the county will be directly administered te, while no part of the county will be at all injured either actually or in pros pect. From these and many other con- alterations which suggest themselves to every thinking mind, we call upon the people to think upon this subject, to prepare themselves to vote in this matter, having in view the greatest good to the greatest number, and when the 2lst of December shall come let us all at the polls vote District Court at Des Arc, thereby building up our'own interest and adding greatly to the im- portance and character of our county
