50 strongly made, that it must have been a dull and Inattentiye listener indeed who failed to be edified. The church and the world needs more such scrmons as this, and did such teachings always flow from the sacred desk the world would be cer- tainly benefited.
 SEE | IERE. Why don't you go to the store where you can find the best assortment of goods, and get everything at the very lowest pricesi The place to do this is where they carry the best stock and have the best stock and have the largest facilities for doing business. That is at J. l.. SHINN's.
 P. S.--My customers are reminded that new additions have been re- celved this week, of winter calicos, jeans, boots and shoes, fannels, lin seys, and almost everything else, and my stock is more complete than ever. I will beat all competition on ready made clothing. 1 will also sell better boot or shoe, for the same money, than any house in Arkansas.
 MT. Jesse R. Duke, last Friday brought in the bale of Central Amer ican Prolific Cotton which he will enter at the State Fair. He showed us sample of the fiber, and we have never seen anything that beats 1t. It is fine, silky and strong, and ol good length. MT. D. showed us a letter from his commission merchant in New Orleans to whom he had sent sample of the same cotton, and they state that such cotton as il would command price far above any quotations given, and they think they could readily obtain 20c, for it. Mir. D. also has the Six Oaks and the Cheatham Prolific, and we understand they have done well. The yield of all these cottons is fal greater than our common cotton. We understand MT. D. will have quan. tity of the seed of each kind to dis pose of, and it does seem to us that it is utter folly for our farmers to plant common cotton seed when they can get seed which brings cotton ol so greatly superior quality.
