Alta meeting Of the Physicians OF
Plymouth, to express their apprecia-
ton Of the late DR.. Joshua Bennett,
the following was deemed fitting and
appropriate:
Be IL Resolued, that; whereas, by
disease, one Of our fraternity has been
called from our midst, we do believe
that in his death the science Of medi-
cicine has lost an earnest advocate,
and the people one who was always
ready and willing to sacrifice his indi-
vidual interests and comforts for its
general good.
Fidelity and integrity were marked
characteristics of his daily walk in
life.
In his departure the community has
lost a useful member, and his widow
and relatives a true and faithful hus-
band and friend, with whom we con-
dole in this hour of their bereavement.
1t is further ordered that copy OF
these proceedings be presented for
publication to each OF the county
papers, and one to the bereaved, af-
fiicted and heart-striken widow.

Mr.. j. J. Thompson, of Wolf Creek,
has just returned from Arkansas
where he has been looking the lay of
land with the view OF making that
his future home. He brings some fine
samples of small grains produced in
the vicinity of Fort Smith. The eli
mate and soil are entirely satisfactory
to him, and with the view of locating
there he has bargained for land. II
he does go to that state he will re-
move sometime next Fall. He reports
one fact that it is hard to decide
whether it is favorable to the csun-
try or not. In the Fort Smith Jail
there are forty prisoners-seventee
of them being for murder. Three have
been tried by the U. S. Courts and
will be hanged in April. This would
indicate murderous spirit OF lawless-
ness unbearable; but this being so
near the Indian Territory, it is likely
that the crimes were done over a
wide section OF country. And it must
be remembered that the enforcement
of laws to the extent indicated by his
report is something new. Mr.. Thomp-
son says that he heard less politics in
Arkansas than in Plymouth, and the
people say il there is to be a war that
they propose to let the North do the
fighting while they do the heavy look
ing:on.

The very large attendance at the
Opera House on last Sunday after
noon to hear the Rev. H. v. Reed ON
Mans place in Creation" indicated
the deep expectations of the people.
The lecture was one OF interest. al
though it did not lay down premises
and deduce logical conclusions so
much as was expected. 1t abound
ed in glittering generalities, more
pleasing to the ear and instructive
to the sense. The harmony OF
the Bible and science is not such
matter Of speculation that it can
only be sustained by extravagant
assertion. Mr.. Reed asserted that the
term six days" as referred to in the
history Of creation meant six periods,
the time of each being indefinite.
Thus the geological theory OF the
formation Of the earth, and the plac-
ing on it Of animal and vegetable life
was in harmony with the Bible rec
ord. Man was the browning act OF
creation. What is regarded by some
scientists as proof that man has ex-
listed for period of 10000 years the
lecturer showed to be absurd; /. Q. the
human remains i'm the bed of the
Nile at 70 feet below the surface,
and it being claimed that the deposit
OF Nile mud was only about three
and one half inches per 100 years,
it would naturally follow that the
time required to deposit 70 feet
100000, or more, years. The fact that
burnt brick was found also at the
depth Of 20 feet, showed that the the
ory that these deposits antedated
civilization was untrue, for burnt
brick and burnt pottery were first
made in the Roman empire. The lec-
turer elucidatsd the fact that the ex-
tremists were in error, and that a
middle ground was the only safe and
true one to follow. Taken altogether
Mr.. Reeds lecture was a successful
effort, the only criticism being that
too much Of his time was occupie d
in rhetorical fourishes. However ii
was accepted by most OF his hearers
as very able and instructive.
