Helena, Ark, Points.

Especial to The Times-Dcmocrat.l
Helena, March 29.-Thc suspen'
sion of trains again to-day between
Madison and Memphis, on the
Memphis and Little Rock Railroad,
indicates a stage Of water in the
st. Francis boottom which warns
us here Of q pretty stiff rise to
come.
Tho river is stationary, but ex-
pected to begin rising about Mon
day next, and fully 2 feet in ad-
dition to what we now have are
expected. This will bring the wa
ter to within IS inches of extreme
high water. AS the upper rivers
are nearly all rising the situation
is becoming serious for bottom
planters, as the probabilities are
the overflow will be kept up til
too late for planting.

Sad Accident.

On last Tuesday night sas the
steamer Issaquena was landing at
the wharf-boat. the II year old
son of j. w. Flood attempted to
jump on her. He missed his foot
ing, fell in the river, and was Of
course drowned.
There have been a number Of
similar fatalities from the wharf
boat here in the past. The pro.
prietors of the wharf.boat have
often and vainly endeavored to
check the practice, Of the drove
of boys of the town swarmine
to every boat, of jumping on boats
before they land. Mr.. Trowhridge'
Superintendent, will in future en-
force prohibition thereof.

Gorge Ia the Missouri.

Bismarck, d. T., March 29.-The
twenty-five-mile gorge In the river
here still holds. The river rose
slowly all highland is now station
ary. The gorge above Washburn
is now broken, and is expected to
reach here tonight. 1t will raise
the water here, and 1t is feared
will do much damage to railroad
and steamboat interests. Reports
from Mandan, which was flooded
in 1881, state that great anxiety
preyails. Stocks of goods are be-
ins removed is the upper shelves,
preparatory for an emergency.
II requires q further rise OF SIX
feet to equal the flood Of 1881
Later:-The gorge here gave
way last night, aud the ice is now
running heavily. The boats at y
o'clock were all right, and the
prospects were they would como
ont safe. The railroad warehouse
building, two blocks long, fronting
on the river, was emptied, bnt II ls
thought no damage will occnr'
Twenty passengers came over
from Mandad to-nightin q SKIN
but It was very dangerous trip
At Washburn, 20 miles above,
the river has been rising steadily
all day, and is now the highest Il
has been this year, and full OF ice
all day. If there is no further
gorge no further danger is appre'
hended there.

Fire Company,

The fire on Saturday made it more
manifest than ever that we need an
organized fire department. At the
Cry of fire every one, or so nearly every
one as to make it almost a unanimous
thing, strike out for the scene and soon
there is a crowd, something like an un-
organized mob, many in a dazed mood
but others ready to work but without
a single appliance at hand. If instead,
we had an organized department of
men whose first duty it was to get out
the engines and hasten with them to
the spot; others to carry the hooks
and ladders and buckets; others again
with axes and hammers, Ia sort of sap
pePs and miners company, the fires in
most cases would not get beyond their
first confines. The fire on Saturday
originated among the most infamma-
BILE material possible, making the
speedy arrival of the engines the more
necessary. But instead, they were
late in getting there because the force
which did go, were not adequate for
speedy work, and the ladders, which
were greatly needed, never reached
the ground at all. As it was we were
saved, but had the arrival Of the en-
gines been a few minutes later the re-
suit must have been Of a very differ
ent character. The town ought not
and need not be subject to such fearful
possibilities. What we need, with or
without water works, is two, three or
more men to take the leadership at
fires, the first on the ground to take
the command. with organizations to
bring the necessary appliances, as in
dicated above. In the absence of
others to take the initiative, if the
Town Commissioners will move in the
matter they will find a plenty of men
ready to respond.

AA0NAOA ~ IOAAA LAeAlNOUs
MR.. EDITOR-Prof. S. r. Ford gave
one of his rare elOcutionary entertain
ments in the NJ. f. Church, Monday
evening to a large and appreciative
audience, Notwithstanding the people
had but three days notice. Old and
young alike were so delighted that he
has been requested to come again in
the interest of the Sabbath School.
Mrs. w. G. Jump is very i'll with a
chronic affection of the liver and her
physician, DIR. Cooper, does not have
much hope of her recovery.
Monday morning, while many were
at breakfast, a large horse attached to
a small farm wagon belonging to Frank
Greenwell came running up the street
at full speed, paying no heed to the
many endeavOrs made to stop him !;
turning towards the depot, he barely
missed a milk wagon whose driver was
fortunate enough to see him i'm time to
get around the corner out of the way.
He ran against post near the depot,
breaking the wagon and harness and
coming loose at a damage of about $12.
There was considerable excitement
over the school meeting on Saturday
and they voted "a for and 4? against
moving the furniture from the old cold
house which is not half as good as the
two nearest school houses east of here,
owned by the cOlOred people. The
generous "a offered to pay ali expenses
incurred thereby and pay an assistant
teacher and provide two comfortable
rooms in KentOn until the first of April.
They are determined rot to be defeated,
but will have select school for their
children.
Prof. Ford payed the school visit
yesterday and read two pieces for the
children, and more delighted school
was never witnessed. He will ever be
remembered by them with kindness

Smyrna times., 1884-10-22

THE absence of moisture to germi-
nate the wheat, and the possibility of
its rotting in the ground, or at least
that drilled in with phosphate, is.
already causing our farmers to
prophecy a very short crop of wheat
next year. Usually at this season of
the year the newly seeded fields are
having quite shade of green over
their surface.
THE social event Of Thorou.hfare
Neck next week, will be a church we'd
ding at Friendship" next Tuesday
afternOOn-the contracting parties be-
ing Geo. G. Rothwell and Sallie, daught-
er of George G. Deakyne. When it is
remembered that Mr. ROthwell has 50
cousins alone, TO say nothing Of the
other relations, and that the Neck "
is full of Deakynes, big time may be
expected.
JOHN II. CUNIMINs, a brother of the
family here of the same name, died at
his residence in Galena, Md, Monday,
after a painful illness from cancer in the
stomach, aged 70 years. He left here
to engage in farming in Kent County,
Md, when young man and continued
his residence there until his death.
Four children survive him, two sons
and two daughters, all of whom have
been grown some years.
On Saturday afternoon as Geo.
Beck was returning to his home near
Dulaney's Chapel from this town, when
beyond Clayton his horse got frighten-
ed (Mr. 3. does not know for what
reasOn) and ran into a bank upsetting
the dearborn, Mr.. Beck receiving in
the fall painful wound on both his
head and hip. The animal then tried
to kick itself loose, and in doing so its
legs were cut so severely as to need
the surgical attendance of DR.. r. J.
Lambdin.
THE painted month "-OctOber-as
some writer has called it, is here,
"when every green thing is marching
out Of the year in gay colors, as if to
leave the earth in triumph and not in
sadness" Every puff of wind is cast
ing down in field and forest showers of
golden leaves, but not a leaf has drop
ped until a bud was norm to il, not
flower that has not left its house full of
seeds. Already another year is hidden
along the boughs; another Summer is
laid away among the branches.
FRANK GREENWELL, SR., of Kenton
had an experience last week that might
have been serious if he had been en-
tirely alone. While in the act of burn
ing some brush on ditch bank his
linen pants caught fire, and he could
not put them out, and but for the good
fortune Of having men near who ban
daged his legs tightly with their hand
kerchiels There was no water nearl he
must have been fatally burned. The
flames caught to the corn and eight
shocks were destroyed before the fire
was stopped.
