cIArIoN.-We would call the attention OF
our citizens TO This thriving institution
1.-The Sbepherdslown Building Associs
ton" which has now been IN operation
for a year ending the first Saturday in
May 1t is duly chartered by the proper
authorities OF The State, with a printed
Consultation and Bylaws which are cir
culated among its members that all may
understand It's regulations and govern
meni.
A simple reference 10 the notice OF q
dividend in another column, must satisfy
every one that it is paying institution 10
the Stockholders. Ths, notice is the
best recommendation thai can be given.
1t shows that clear Of all expenses, the
money invested has paid an interest OF 80
per cent. which is strong inducemeni TO
own some Of that stock. The Bylaws
only require payment Of 25 cents a
week on The share. This is made so
low tina. all may be able to invest. as ev-
cry person. no matter how small his IN
come. can spare that amount and by in-
vesing it in stock. will not only save the
principal but accumulate interest rapidly.
Those more able can take more stock,
and thus each one adap. his subscription
10 his means.
1t is the desire OF the Association to
have enough stock taken 10 have loan Of
money each week, which will not only
be encouraging TO the Association but be
public convenience and accommodation
AS We have no bank in this place or
county. These Building Associations
are numerous now throughout, our Coun-
try, and everywhere are the people find.
ing them to be profitable to the communi-
~ and worthy of patronage. And as the
laws under which they are chartered in
this State, prescribe tina, the money shall
only be loaned 10 those who are members
of the Association. We would advise
our merchants and business men to take
stock, and then instead Of going to bank
TO borrow lew hundred dollars. they
can be accommodated al home, and at
less bonus. than their expenses will be, 10
and from the nearest bank.
Aid and pa,rOnize the Shepherdstown
Building Association, and you will be
aiding that which comes nearest bank
for the convenience of those borrowing
and using money and nearest a remunsr-
alive savings institution for those wishing
TO deposit.
The Books OF tie Association are now
and will be open for new subscriptions Of
Stock until the first Saturday in June,
when the first payment will be demanded.
Those subscribing now will be on on
equal footing with the original slockhold-
ers as all start even on the new year. The
dividend of the past year, and the fact that
nearly all the original stockholders have
doubled their stock, show the confidence
in success Of those who have tried il and
best understand it. This is worth your
attention. Subscribe at once. 1t will
pay.

n6r A very sad aud distressing acci- dent happened last evening between ] and 5 o'clock Ut the steamboat landing. X party of three families who were nov ing from Lee county. Mississippi, to the northwestern part of this State had jus, dsembarked from the steamer Commercial, and the horses in one of the ambulanees or hacks becoming rsstivs commenced to back it toward the river. when double barrcled gun fell f,om the hack. which was picked up by small lad, and in al tempting to repl ce it the hammer caught against the upright pieces supporting the top and was discharged. woundlng pretty severely, though not dangerously, four persons. The parties wounded belonged to three different families, namely: Mr John Boyd, slightly wounded in the heai; Mrs. Sarah l.. Sullivan wounded in the head; .Nrs Elizabeth Hendricks wounded in the cheek, and small child wounded in the head. The gun WAS charged with duck shot and provideutially none ot them are mortaly wounded We arc indebted to Major Laniori for these par ,iculars, who WAS at the time trying to prevent the ambulance from running into the river, was an eye witness to ibe whole scene, and run narrow risk vf being shot hiuisclt.

| DT Before another number Of the 1 Citizen is issued, the old year 1868 will be with the things of the past. It is. therefore, fitting time to look back and see what has been accomplished, or what advance we have made; what anticipations have been realized and what hopes have bed, blasted. With out entering into particulars. we think we can honestly say that in Arkansas we have materially prospered. A kind Providence has reached out his hand and given to us abundant crops that we might amid our many disappont- ments have this wherein to rejoice
 Notwithstanding the great political disappointments that have come upon us, the hopes of victory that have been destroyed, we are in an infinitely bet ter condition than we were twelve months ago. The unsettled condition of our State affairs-which at that time parslyxed every branch of trade, and threatened every individual with bank ruptcy-has given place 10 q fixed gov ernment; fixed at least for time; a government, which, whatever may be said of it's defects. has a form and | purpose. Under this government mod flied by the changes or time, our State may be benefited and her citizens pros pcred. This much then (call it ever sc l;ttta hos haau oc.n,o rlsaha1 Jur;p.v the present year. The dead interests Of the State have been resurrccted, and there is now & reason for the hope that schools will bc built. manufacture en- couragel, and the resources of the State developed. True. it is. that very many of us have no sympathy for those who rule the State; we have been dealt hardly with by them; our voice has not been heard. or if heard. has not been needed; they have made without 1 our sanction government. and have given us laws not 10 our liking. yet, with all these wrongs there is some good and we give them credit for it. Nationally il is beyond our knowledge |
 to say what our condition is; we have during the year passcd through great conflict. in which we honestly believe fraud has triumphed over the people. | Whether or not the coming adminis- tration will give us hope for more than we obtained from thepresent one. must for Il time remain unanswered-we can do no more than wait and sec. But as individuals we have most reason 10 TO- joice in the benefits of the dying year; here and there aud every where we have prospcred; the farmer has plant ed and God has given tho increase abhndantv. The merchant has been relieved from threatened emharrass- ment, the mechanic has found employ ment. and every branch of industry has found encouragement; truly, we as . people have been greatly blessed, and x it is duty incumbent on every man to give thanks in all gratitude to the Author Of all blessing. for His great mercy toward Us, and pray that the new year may bring us additional prosperity.
