The Harrison times. (Harrison, Boone Co., Ark) 1876-1938, 1886-09-25


Judge w. M. Walker, of Vail
ley Springs was in town Wednes-
day, looking as pleasant as ever.
' The young folks had a nice
party at the residence of Hon. II.
IA. Crandall, on Saturday evening.
VA. C. Phillips, of Marble City,
was in town ON Wednesday. His
many friends are always glad to
meet him.
Last Sunday was a hot one,
the thermometer registering 100 Il
in our room about three O'Clock ii
the afternoon.
Clint Davenport, of FayetteE
vile, was in town the early part oil
the week looking after Uncle Sans
financial interests.
Mr.. Alex. Penn, has quit farm
ing, moved his family to town, and
is now clerking for Phillips & Ba-
ker in their Hardware branch.
v Our job work has been es-
hpecially lively lately and it, with
the paper has made all hands
hump themselves since the editors
absence.
We learn that all the Sunday
Schools of our town are regularly
attended by large scholarship,
and that much interest is mani
tested by all interested.
George Daniels, of Marshall,
was in town the middle of the week.
He informed us that Stephenson
was contestlng the clerks election
in Searcy, and that the trial would
come off the first days of court.
( From the amount of new
buildings in this town, and in-
creased transient trade, all our
mechanics are up to their eyes in
work. A good sign for a town
that is "bound to lose the railroad. y
Miss DeEmma Jones who has
been visiting relatives and friends
in Harrison, for several mon tbs,
started for her home in Springfield,
Mo-, on Thursday last. We hope
she may have a lively and pleasant
trip.
The bricklayers have been
hard at it ON the new jail the past
week, and from the looks of things
there about the middle of the
week, we should say the brick
work would be done by Saturday
night.
If the A. |. Z. at Fayetteville,
had rs more scholars than it has
at present, it would be as well at
tended as the Harrison Public
School at the present time. This
is fact that we all should feel
proud of.
Hopper & Speer's new build
ling is fast approaching completion,
the mason work being completed
and the other mechanics all busy,
roofing, etc, etc. A couple of
weeks will see it fit for occupancy
we think.
8. C. Speel of the firm of
Speer & Hopper has gone to
Springfield and st. Louis to pur-
chase a large bill of Groceries.
Mr.. Speer is an old and expert
enced Grocer, and we predict that
he will make wise selection.
We were pleased to notice on
Sunday last, while perusing the
Annapolis dispatches to the Wash
ington Post, dated the 9Th inst,
that Master Claude Bailey, of this
county, had been admitted to the
Naval Academy at that place.
On Tuesday of last week a
son and daughter of w. j. Raden,
who lives about twelve miles north
of town on Bear Greek, were very
seriously burned by lightning.
1t struck the chimney running
down to and along the floor to
where the children were.
Mr.. Samuel Caruthers did us
q favor the early part of the week
for which we wish to thank him.
We had been for two weeks trying
to get our supply of paper from
the railroad and had failed in
every instance, but he overloaded
himself to accommodate u, and
the kind act will not soon be for
got on our part.
Hon. w. w. Watkins, Clerk,
| informed us on Wednesday morn
ing, that he had been officially in
formed that Mrs. Terry who was
lately sent to the Insane Asylum
from this county, made her escape
from that institution on the 18th
inst, and that her body was after
wards found in the river and inter-
