MAYORS OFFICE,


Little Rock, Ark, March "a, '83.
Editor Mansion:
Dear Sir-Thanking you for
your kind notice and recommen-
dation for sheriff of Pulaski coun-
ty, [ desire you to state that l
am not a candidate for said Office.
| shall endeavOr to fulfil the du-
ties Of my present office until the
expiration of my term, April
1885, and then retire to private
life.
Very respectful y, etc,
FREDERICK KRAMER, Mayor.
1t is with much reluctance we
make the above announcement of
the withdrawal from the race for
sheriff of Pulaski county, the
name of Hon Frederick Kramer.
He is a good, worthy and com
petent man for the office and un-
like a great many of the would
be red hot republicans. He is
willing and has paid for his an
nouncement, and expresses him
self ready to pay the necessary
expense if it was $4,000 but feels
too Independent to he antagonized
by both friend and foe and then
be defeated by a compromise.
The mayor is right in withdraw
ing for the present, but he it under
stood that Mayor Kramer is al:
ways ready to serve his people
when they want him. He be-
lieves in the old maxim, let the
office seek the man, which will
doubtless be the result in his case.

Dear Sir:-Please allow me
space in your valuable journal to
say a few words in regard to the
prospects and progress of the
work on the Fort Smith District,
of the A NJ E church, having
Just returned from a long tour
through the district.
[ first visited Rev d X Tur-
ner's work on the Conway circuit
he is doing well.
Rev Jesse Ashbury at Morril-
ton, is doing a good work and is
loved by his people. The color
ed people around that town are
living on their own lands and
have a good future before them.
Next place | visited was Darda-
nellie, where l met Rev g w Ha-
ley, who is doing very well.
Thence to Clarksville, where |
met Rev NJ E WiIdman. L think
he is the right man IN the right
place. He has the best and
largest Sabbath school in the dis
trict. After which, l went to
Pa:is, Logan county, where |
found the colored people doing
well. Here l found Rev Reuben
johnson pushing ahead. Then L
visited Ozark and was pleased to
meet with Rev II Smith, who is
moving along slowly but surely.
Then | visited the Crawford cir
cult, where the Rev Stephen
Quinn is pastor. He has ia
members on his work, nearly all
of whom live on their own land
and are doing well. Then 1 Wis
tied Fort Smith, that coming
city of W est Arkansaw, here the
colored people seem to live at
home. Rev. J NJ Collins is pas
tor. Notwithstanding the wealth
of our people at this place, things
don't look SO well. So much for
j NC.
From here I took the rounds
of Sebastian circuit, and found
Rev II r Briscoe, the pastor in
charge, all right and puch loved
by his congregation. Our people
here all live on their own land in
this part OF the country, on say
from 80 to 16O, acres. They grist
their own flour and meal and
raise all that they need to live on.
From here l returned home and
found my family we'll and the
boys blowing, making ready for
planting. G RYLEs, + f.

in her countenance was noticeable.
Immediately after the verdict Was gwen
