''My name is Stanmore," he said. "Wha, Is your business with meY'
 CT am detective officer" replied tho man. He had looked at me when he entered. and had turned away, apparently not recognizing me-my appearance was so changed.
 I do not know you. said Stanmore. "You are not the detective employed"
 "No. but am working with him in this affair. Your wife has arrived, and is now safely lodged at the Bull and Mouth. My partner is watching her and the man with her. She cannot escape"
 ''But why should she want to escape?" in- quired Stnnmore, who. saw, was somewhat puzzled.
 "rhat," said the detective, "is what have como to explain"
 "Shall leave you. S.anmorep" asked.
 'No, sir; you had best remain"
 It was not Stanmore who answered me, but the detective. When I spoke he had turned towards me again, and his sharp eyes took in every detail of my appearance.
 "You had best remain, sir, he repeated. "What have to say may be of interest to you." He now addressed Stanmore. "I have a story to tell which it will interest you to hear"
 'Let us hear it, then, by all means," said Stanmore. "If it is long story, take q seat"

An Indiana Skunk Farm.

A man in Huntington, Ind, has a skunk ranch. "I expect" he said the other day, ''to make big money out of the business. Already have sold Q number of skunks to various geological gardens at s10 pair. But my chief profit will be from the oil and pelt. A full-grown skunk will weigh from twenty to thirty pounds, and it can be made to produce at least quart of oil. This oil retails at drug stores at 10 cents an ounce, or at the rate of $12S0 a gallon. It may be surmised that the wholesale price affords a fair margin. Besides, there is pelt which brings from $1 to S2, according to size and color Skunk fur ranks next to that of the beaver in point of quality, and is highly prized by the ladies, who rarely know where 1t comes from Black pelts fetch the best prices, but careful breeder can manage so that the greater part of his pelts will be of tho desired color. In a short time Ishall be making e5,0 900 @ year."

from man this inherent desire for pleasure
that finds its seat in the body, nor does it
seek to rob man OF the innocent enjoy
ments OF this life, but simply to add to
these the moral restraints and religious en-
ioyments that bring man into harmony,
not only with himself, but with both
Heaven and earth. In short, it is the
Christian that has, not only the life that
,o,D is, but also the life which is TO come.
My young friends, never say you want to
"reinain out OF the church to have good
time" Come in with us, and give us the
aid of your warm blood, your hopeful
heart, your jubilant nature, your bright,
cheerful life, and help us to make the
church what il should be. Too long have
YOU stood aloof and abandoned it to the
infrm, the aged and the broken-hearted
The church needs you. She calls for
you. She only asks you to cast aside all
sinful practices, and join her in the holy
mission OF making this world truly happy
with the prospect OF meeting where David
said there is Guinness of joy and pleasures
forevermore."
Avoid frivolous, sensual life that will
only tend TO paralyze your youthful pow.
ers, cripple your ripened manhood, and
fill the later years Of life with want and
woe.
Turn upon the life you now live the
light Of the higher life. 1t will give to the
youthful cheek the glow OF health; TO the
brow OF manhood the glow OF godly
growth; to the heart Of age the anchor OF
hope.
II will reveal to you all the marvellous
tints of beauty, and lead you to all the
clear, sparkling fountains of pleasure, and
guide you into all the sweet harmonies Of
this life, and light your soul 10 the beatifc
delights OF the higher life in the world TO
come. Do not seek Tor pleasure where
you must make companions Of sin, and
where the snow-white garments of thy
soul will be stained with evil. But let US

The NelC Road Lane.

The new road law passed by the
Legislature abolishes the Office of
Road Commissioner, and puts the
whole matter Of roads again in the
hands of the County Court. 1t pro.
vides that no material but broken
stone and gravel shall be used to
form the service Of the road-bed when
the same can be conviently obtained.
a great deal of the work which has
always been done on public roads is
worse than useless. A lot of dirt is
thrown up ON the roads in summer
or fall, which only serves to deepen
the mud in winter. There are few
roads in Warren county for which
broken stone or gravel cannot be
easily obtained. and while the labor
and road tax is not sufficient to prop
erly work all the roads with stone or
gravel in single year, yet what
work is done should be done
in this manner, and the roads
can thus be improved year af-
ter year. 1t is better to put all the
labor and tax on small portions of
the road each year, and make such
portions permanent, than to scratch
over the whole length every year
without beneftting any oft. Judges
are required to give the new act in
charge to grand juries, and it is made
their duty to see that the roads are
properly worked.

Rose Bud, Ark, April /, 1889.
EDITOR STANDARD-For a few
weeks some one has been sending
me the STANDARD, but it is almost
like reading paper from a strange
land, for most of the people spoken
of about McMinnville are strangers
to Inc, as | left that vicinity nearly
80 years ago. | removed to White
Co., Ark, where | have made my
home ever since.
This county is about so miles long
and 80 miles wide, with River bot
tom valley,and uplands, where many
valuable farms are situated.
Owing to malaria white people are
sick great deal in the bottoms dur
ing summer and fall.
Searcy, our county site, is a thriv-
ing town of about 1000 inhabitants.
1t is quite popular watering placein
summer, and great cotton market
in the fall and winter.
The Galway Female college was
located at Searcy last summer and
the building has just been completed
at a cost of $4,000. 1t is a magnifi-
cent building stories high, with a
great many rooms.
A Miss Patty very amiable young
lady of Searcy has had a remarkable
and sad experience. A year or SO
ago she was engaged to marry Judge
Goad, of Searcy, but the Judge had a
spell of sickness a few days before
the time for marriage and got better
ind expected to be up for the cere-
mony,b but he died few hours before
hand. Time rolled on and this young
lady became engaged to be married
on last Wednesday to DIR, Marbury,
of Dover, Ark. On the day before the
intended wedding a Mr.. Foreman
murdered DIR. Marbury on the streets
Of Dover. The Doctor was a relative
Of the McMinnville Marburys.

No Bridges Yet.

Several earnest speeches were made
before the County Court last Monday
in favor of the bridge tax, hut cam
vass of the Court convinced the
friends of the measure that it could
not carry, and it was not submitted
to a vote. The sentiment for bridges
is growing, however, and the agita-
ton of.the matter should not cease.
The time is coming when such a
pressure will be brought to bear on
the Court for bridges that it cannot
refuse longer to delay the matter.
The spirit of progress and enterprise
must eventually conquer old fogyism.
