 And when they had read the things Fizer spake unto them, saying "Blessed is he that understandeth and keepeth these commandments, for he shall partake Of the joys of my administration" And all the people saId: "Amen; so mote it be. " Now, the children of Clayton set for ward through the Valley Of Despair, and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way. And they cried out against Clayton and against Fizer, and they wept and cast the ashes of their political am bition upon their heads, and the stink that came forth from among them did penetrate the uttermost parts of the land of Arkansas. Now certain spies whom they had sent un- to the land to view lt--among whom was one Featherstone, who sat in the Sanhedrim of the Greater Kingdom reported 70 them that they had seen the land, and that it was 8 goodly land-s land where there is no want of anything that is in all the earth so far as political aspiration is concerned. 1. And they were ex- ceding glad, and they went straight way over to possess 1t, and pitched their tents over against the city of Democracy. Now, when they beheld the city they marvelled, because of the greatness thereof, for It had an exceeding high wall built of fine marble, around It Democratic prin- ciples l, and many gates, and the in habitants thereof numbered four score and five thousand souls, and the Claytonites could not look upon the brightness thereof. And the people were sorely grieved thereat, for they knew that they must first take the city, and their courage had flown from them. But the captains and men of valor Candidates mum bered the Claytonites, and com manded them what to do; and it was so. And the priests offered sacrific- es, and clothed themselves with the priestly robes and the breastplates, and washed and anointed themselv- es, and after they bad partaken Of the shew bread Fizers "reform" taffy and Of the Kentucky "red eye" they went forth unto the city, bear ing the Ark of the Covenant (which was the sign of the covenant which tue Clsytonites made with the Chos en people ], and the Chosen People followed them, but the Claytonites staid behind, and hld themselves for a season. Now these are the seven priests which bare the Ark of the Covenant: There was the Pill roller Norwood, and Wharton, the false prophet, out of whose mouth came forth stream of sweetness Scrip tural quotations continually, and one Reuben, disciple Of Ananias, and who had an empty ink horn at hIs side, Mcclure, surnamed Poker Jack" the Claytonite digging time" prophet, and William Henry Harris on, Clayton's nigh kinsman, Isom, the scribe, devont man fallen from grace, and Thomas, the High Priest And other seven priests which had seven trumpets of brass, followed af 1 ter them, and they were commanded l to compass the city round about, and | to sound their trumpets until the l walls should fall down. Now, these l are the seven priests which had the | seven horns of brass: John, of the | family of Ansley, and one who was a | Baker, who dwelt in the province of White land it came to pass that his brethren who ate of the bread which he baked, became sick unto death ], i and certain Mallet(t) which did fly of it's handle continually, Brant, named for a tiller of the soil, Bush with yerdant boughs, from the prov ince of Pike, and 8 certain Moore, and Johnson, Clayton's beloved ar monrbesrer. And the horns which they carried were named thus: Prescott Dispatch" "Campsigner," "People's Yindicator," Faulkner County Wheel" "Pike County Seuti nel," Arkansas Economist andl "Arkansas State Register" And Y was so that they marched around V ,e osE kf
