EVENING SHADE, Oct. 5th.

EDITOR RECORD: On Sunday morn
ING, the 28th ult., myself, together
with a few other gentlemen Of our
town, started to attend the burial
of our beloved friend and brother,
the Rev. B, T. Hall, who departed
this life at his home IN La Crosse,
Ark, On Friday, the 2fth ult., at
7:45, D. m. We arrived at La
Crosse about 10 o'clock, a. M at
which time a considerable crowd OF
persons had gathered at. the resi-
dence of the deceased TO accompany
the remains to the grave; and about
half past II the members Of the La
Crosse lodge, Y. q A. N, marched
in q body from their hall to where
our brother slept and took charge Of
his body, and proceeded to Phlia-
delphia, the place of lnterment, a
distance of two miles, followed by
the bereaved mother, wife and chill
dren and mourning friends. On
arriving ut this memorable grave
ward the La Crosse lodge was joined
by members Of other lodges until
the procession numbered about 100
members of the order, and the body
was buried between ! and 2 o'clock,
D. m, with Masonic honOrs by the
fraternity, IN the midst of five or
six hundred friends, who were pres
ent to witness this last tribute OF
respect to one who was so widely
and we'll known. The occasion was
one long to be remem bered, espe-
cially by those whe witnessed the
scene, and nearly all seemed to re-
alize the fact that the church, fra
ternity and country had lost q good,
useful and much beloved member,
brother and citizen, His heart-strick-
en- widow and children, together
with his aged mother, as also his
only brother and sister, were per
mitted to attend him to this, his
last resting place on earth, The
services were conducted by Bro.
Carroll Williams, D. G. H., in his
usual easy and free manner, though
solemn and impressive. After the
burial services were over we return
ed to La Crosse and partook Of the
kind hospitalities Of friends, and by
the hour Of 4, p. my we were en-
route for home, where we arrived
at 8 o'clock at night. c.. J. W.

ter is as near tho center Of the
county as a situation can be found,
accessible to al parts of the county,
it would be the height of injustice
to locate the county seat south Of
Strawberry river, even if there
should be few more living in the
pine hills south of Strawberry than
there is in the mountains north of
Spring river, besides the injustice OF
compelling those in the north part
of the county to ride 10 miles to get
to the county town, while those in
the south part would have only to
travel 10 or II miles; and further,
the north has to cross Spring river,
Big creek, Strawberry and Finey
Fork.
The south part of the county has
had the county seat 10 or II years,
to the entire exclusion Of the north
part from all privileges Of the same.
Would say that Center is before
the people, and will be as long as
the matter of removal iS before
them, claiming the right to the
county seat upon her merits Of CEN
tral location, beautiful situation,
liberal donGtion and easy accession,
together with many other good and
lawful reasons, and purposes to pre-.
sent her claipS to the people fairly
and squarely, asking nothing but q
fair representation of the interests
of the entire county. knowing that
tho question will never be settled
while the county seatrenains south
of Strawberry, i am satisfied that ii
would be greatly to the interests of
the county, financially, to locate at
Center, Remember, gentlemen, that
honesty is the best policy, as this
question will fully demonstrate.

EDITOR RECORD: As stated IN your
issue of Oct. I'd, the directors for
school districts No. II and Is have
failed to forward to the county ex-
aminer the scholastic enumerations
of their respective districts, and
thereby said districts have lost all
their school funds, both state and
county; and this will continue to oe
the case so long as directors neglect
to furnish the aforesaid report.
Now, as to the cause Of No, II failing
to report, it is unknown to me, but

to the grasshopper, "You sang last

like preachers, generally have good
appetites, we may confidently ex-
pect one of two results-either that
large amount of fish and game will
be captured or the hen roosts on

We advise our patrons thereabouts

BRITISH MUTINEERs.

LONDON, November GA Times dispatch
from Paris says tho crew OF the British
ship Coringa, Captain Gibson, from New
York, September Goth, have been arrested
at Antwerp. The Consul is investigating
an outbreak which occurred during the
voyage. The mate had several times
tried to repress the iusubordination which,
on November Sd, reached such height
that the Captain ordered the arrest Of the
ring leader, one Kearney, Of Liverpool.
The crew resisted the Captain and seized
his revolver, and the mutineers also armed
themselves. The mate struck a man with
a hatChet, in1icting injuries which proved
fatal on tho 9th inst. This act restored
order and Kearney was arrested. The
mate and FIVE sailors are under detention,
