When the business men of a town fail to advertise, they diminish the inn portance and trade of place and per- init more onterprising localities to take the latter from them. Although done for their individual interests, advertis- CTS sl.ould be looked upon by the citi- zeas of the town where they reside as public benefactors and should be en- couraged accordingly. The merchants who advertise very extensively are worth more to a town than forty who never show themselves in print, and Tor that reason they should be given preference in local patronage.
 No paper can be published without home patronage, and every man is in- terested in keeping up home paper. Il railroad or factory is wanted, the newspapers are expected to work for it. If a public meeting is wanted for any purpose the paper is called on for free rotiee. If the charitable society have supper or sociable of any kind, the newspaper is always expected to give all the necessary notice and then they puff 1t after it is over. The news paper must puff the schools and do ey- erything else to advance the interests of the business men of that place, and then give them a handsome notice when they go to Heaven. And yet some of them do nothing to keep up a paper.
 Mir. k. ". Lipscomb, who left here last week in company with his young est sister, to visit his old home in Flor ence Ala, died at the latter place, Monday evening at 7;30 o'clock. He has been under the care of physicians for some time, being afflicted with a complicated affection of the liver and kidneys, and although his case has been considered precarious, it was not thought to be near so dangerous as it proved to be. The trip was taken be- cause it was thought he might be ben efitted by it. He was a young man of good parts, generous, companionable and honest. He has been for two years the junior member of the firm of Bernard S Co. and the esteem in which he was held by his associates in busi- ness attests his worthiness. His aged mother, sisters and brothers, have the sympathy of all In their sore bereave- ment.

Dr. William Erwin Shinn was born in Pope county, Ark, Dec. 18th 1859, and died at his home in Yell county, Ark, Jan. 2d, 1888. Our acquaintance with the deceased was limited. Being associated with him as guest in his family, during the Annual Conference held in Dardanelle in the fall of 1881. lead us to admire him as q gentleman. As our host he was attentive, and hos pitable. He spared no pains to make our sojourn in his family one of com fort and pleasantness. In the family circle is where the true traits of char acter are made most prominent. At that time he was not a member in full
 fellowship in the church, but was & candidate for membership as seeker of religion. He maintained this rela- tion in the church for s years by con- stantly evidencing his desire to flee the wrath to come and to be saved from
 sin. In the year 1884 God through
 Christ spoke peace to his troubled spir- it, and he was made to rejoice in real ization of the love of God shed abroad
 in his heart by the Holy Ghost in the forgiveness of sin. He at once assum- ed the church vows in the M. E.
 church, south, having been dedicated
 to God by baptism in infancy, by his
 devotedly christian parents. As q christian, he was not particularly emo- tional, but with a meek and quiet spir- it, he continued to exemplify the true christian character from the day of his conversion until death called him to his reward. As a citizen, he was loyal,
 and manly; as a neighbor, accommo- dating and obliging. The sick and
 suffering had no truer friend among men. As husband and father, he was prevalent, true, loving and indulg- ent. In his sickness he seemed to be conscious that he would never recover ; and was prayerful, patient and resign ed. Peace to his ashes. May Gods blessing rest richly upon the bereaved family and friends, and may the bles- sed hope, of an eteraally uninterrupted reunion soon again in the mansions above, rift the clouds and dispel the gloom and shadow of death, which has gathered about their hearts and homes. w. H. W. BURNS.
