Royce X Lansing Company--The
 Coming Attraction.

During the past nine years this com pany has appeared in all the states from the great lakes to the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic to the Pacific. And dur ing these nine years the sarrae members of the company hssye 5ocn together con- stantly; in many instances they have appeared in the same cities regularly each season, and with constantly in- creasing favor and patronage. Nine years of success naturally suggests nine years of improvement, ana the present programme of this company Is beyond question far superior to any they have eyer presented. Wherever they have once appeared the reputation left behind them Is sufficient proof of the reliability of their promises for the future, and the present season cannot fail to add thousands of friends and fresh laurels to those already gained.

OBITUARY.

Mss RUBY YoUNG was born Decem- Der the 10th, 1869 in Pope county. Ar kansas, and joined the Methodist Epis- copal church September the 4th, 1883, at Center Valley, and fell asleep iu Je- sus December the l2th, 1888, aged nine teen years and two days, leaving a widowed christian mother and only ore sister, Miss Della. and host of friends. She was a girl Of telligence and refinement, vein of humor and wit ran through all her conversation. In all her associations, at home, in Sun day school or in society she was the same devoted christlao. She has left the rich legacy of rare beauty and a death of wondrous victory. A few hours before her death she sang verse of "God be with us until we meet again"
 The church ut Center Valley has lost one of her beautiful lights and the Sun day school one of it's most punctual and earnest workers, and no doubt she Is to-day walking in paradise with her sister, Alice and father, awaiting the coming of mother and sister Della.
 The burial services were conducted by her pastor r. NJ. BIakebell and Sun day school at Center Valley, and a large number of weeping friends in the community.
 The entire community joins mo in saying. "Good bye, dearly beloved Ru- by, rest and sing with Jesus until we meet again." w. l.. D. EWING.

In the evening special session of Russellville lodge was held and the new members initiated. The day was very enjoyable socially and all went to their homes more firmly be- lieving In the efficiency of Good Temp lar methods and more earnestly resolv- ed to push temperance work. Plans are already matured for the organiza- tion of lodges at numerous points in the distric. now unoccupied.

 Potts Station Points.

PoTTs STATION, ARK, Jan. l, lSS9. Christmas is passed and every body is quiet and peaceable. There were very few jugs express cd to this place tor Christmas pur poses, which speaks well for the neighborhood.
 On Friday night before Christmas the young folks around the Station gave a concert at the school house which was we'll attended by the peo- pie for some distance around. The actors did well for their practice. Between the pieces the string band most splendidly entertained the au- dience with lively music. Occasion ally the black man would appear on the stage and pick his banjo and sing some lively songs, which Hes very amusing. The receipts amounted to $I495 which will be spent on the school house.
 The Sunday school at the A. R. r. church, which Is one of the best Sun day schools in the county, has recent ly re organized for the new year, with Mr. J. N. Oates superintendent.
 Messrs. K. O. Morton, c. T. Brown and others have gone back to the older states on the excursion, to wis it their old homes and friends. l wish them a pleasant visit and safe return.
 Mir Reuben Brown, brother of our excellent citizen, H. D. Brown, re- turned last Saturday from Texas. He moved from this county to Texas about four years ago, but expects to make this his future home, so 1 hear.
 Madame Rumor don't say much but she keeps sharp eye on the young folks and expects to hear of something in the near future. A.

 Dear Editor It is but justice to the public as well as the parties mentioned herein, to state that on the 2lst ut. ,Dr. s. c. Burgess, assisted by pr. B. 5. Zachary, performed on a lady near San tos (Mill Creek in this county, a very daring and noteworthy surgical opera tion, known in surgical language as the "Casarlan operation," or Casarian sec- tion," it being the only means of say ing the life of the patient (wiie of MT. Jas. k. Pradmore). It was an opera tion of much interest as the life depend. ed on it's proper performance, and re- quired much courage and skill as well as anatomical and surgical knowledge on the part of the operators. It was neatly, quickly and accurately perform ed. It is the first operation of this kind that has been per formed in this part of the country for many years if ever be- fore. Dr. Burgess was ably assisted by Dr. Zachary. Both of these men are graduates oi our home school, the medi- cal department of the Arkansas Indus. trial University.
 The patient Is rapidly recovering, being able to be up some already and bids fair to regain her wonted health soon.
 So much for the surgical skill of Pope county, and so much for the able in- struction given in our University al Fayetteville, Arkansas.
