 MT. Will Cole, of Dardanelle, pass ed through the city Saturday having in custody a young man named Sears. It appears that Sears had been indicted in Yell county for gambling on Sunday and was admitted to bail, which he for feited by leaving the county and not appearing at the last term of the court.

 MT. A. ".

 -Dr. Narston, of St. Louis, and Dr. Benj. Thomas, Little Rock, wilb be in this city next Wednesday, Aug. I'd, ,and the former will preach in the Baptist church. Dr. Marston is an eminent divine, a finished scholar and enter taining speaker. He is secretary of the southwestern branch of the Baptist Home Mission Society of New York. and Is making the tour of our State in the interest of that body. We know our people will extend a hearty well ceme to Dr. Marston and honor him with large audience at the church.
 There are now visiting our city, MT. Geo. $. c. Scott, of McGregor, Iowa, and Mrs. Elizabeth A. Jones, of Chicago, brother and sister of our hsn- ored fellow-tewnsman, Capt. J. R. Homer Scott, the former after an ab- sence of 26 years and the latter 3S years from the State. Mr. Scott and wife formerly resided in Ciarksville and removed thence to Iowa in March, 1856. Mrs. Jones was born in Pope county, November 26, 1929, on the farm now owned by Capt. Scott near George town, and, in April, lS43, went to Gal ena, Illinois, with her sister, Mrs. Eliza II. Campbell, with whom she lived until her marriage to Hon. J. Russell Jones in September, l84s. These venerable persons are once more among the scenes of early days, but how many changes they will find. Where once were forests or farms they will find thrifty, f0urishing towns and villages; and they will see on every hand that Arkansas has been keeping step to the march 0: progress. Many who were their friends and acquain- Cahces III lhose early uays nave passed away, and but few are left to greet them, but we know those who still re- main will welcome them with out stretched arms and warm hearts. They will remain in Russellyille about a week, the guests of Hon. H. Clabe Howell, and then visit ClaI Iksville Vnd Dover. The DEMOCRAT nnites with our people in a hearty welcome tu Mir. Scott, wife and daughter. and Mrs. Jones, and hopes their stay in Russcllville may be one round of happiness.
