The shadow of great rock in weary land is
grateful according to both Scripture and ex-
perience, but Mr. GOulds gratitude for the shadow
of the elevated railroad structure in Battery Park
is not shared by his fellow-citizens of this
metropolis. Like many other men of great prac
teal sagacity Mr.. Gould occasionally drops into
humOr.

noted this week, prominent among
which is the removal of Shannon's

Messrs. McClain & Smith are

Why Did He Le6Ce?

A decided sensation was created
in Camden last Sunday by the sud
den disappearance the night before
Of Charles H. Sullivan, who mar
ried Miss Flora Bowles under very
romantic circumstances about a
month since, an account Of which
was published in these columns at
the time.
Mrs. Sullivan had nothing to
say, a CHRONICLE reporterwas told
by her mother, Mrs. J. I. Bowles,
and an interview with Mr.. P. Mel
ton, Sulliyan's step father, failed to
throw any light on the case. About
all that could be learned is that on
Saturday evening Mr.. and Mrs.
Sullivan went to spend the night
with friend, and after supper Mr..
Sullivan informed his wife he would
probably not return until a late
hour and not to sit up for him. He
then went home, procured his
clothes and left without further
explanation.
Mrs. Sullivan knew nothing of
his intentions or his departure un-
til the following day. AS he failed
to show up at breakfast she made
inquiries, and when told the facts
by a friend, she refused to believe
them until she saw her husbands
mother, who confirmed the report
Mr.. Melton has received a letter
from Sullivan announcing his ar.
rival at Lonoke, Ark, and says he
would not be surprised to see him
back at any time.
The case is decidedly mysteriou;
to the public, as the young couple
are not known to have had any dis
agreement, and were, up to the time
he left, as afectionate as all newl!
welded couples usually are.

Sound AdUice.

"To discontinue an advertise
ment," says John Wanamaker,
Philadelphia's great merchant, " is
like taking down your sign. If you
want to do business you must let
the public know it. Standing adj
vertisements are better and cheaper
than reading notices. They look
more substantial and busine5s-like,
and inspire confidence. I would
as soon think Of doing business
without clerks as without adver-
Using"

As an evidence of what untiring
energy, thrift, and enterprise COM
bined will do we point with pride
to the furniture establishment of
Mr.. Tom III. Bateman, on the west
side Of the square. BY square deal
ing, and a keen perception of the
best values for the least amount Of
money, together with a quick ap-
probation Of the demands Of the
public, he has built up a lucrative
trade that extends far beyond the
limits Of Benton County, and his
establishment is yet in its infancy
His stock is complete in every de.

accidentally Shot.

Bud Oliver, colored, was acct
dentally shot by Mrs. James Bruce,
a white woman, who lives with her
husband 9 miles south from this
place, Tuesday morning. OLIVER
had gotten a gun at Bruce's to hunt
with, and when he returned in the
evening he came by where Bruce
and his wife were unloading some
corn, and upon being asked to help
with the unloading he handed the
gun to Mrs. Bruce and asked hel
to take it to the house, as she was
going. She took it and in a playful
manner held it toward him, at the
same time saying she would arrest
him for taking it with him. Be
fore he could finish saying "Look
out, that guns loaded" the gun was
discharged. The charge took effec
in his left shoulder, producing a Sc
rious, though not necessarily fata
wound.

A Coal Saving Composition.

In regard to coal saving composition,
lately tested at Leeds, The Iron and Coal
Traders Review says: The composition is
3 chemical compound resembling fine sand,
and one of the principal properties claimed
for it is that when sprinkled on an ordinary
fire, after it has been made up, it insuTes
thorough combustion, all the gas and tar,
which in the ordinary way is allowed to
pass off in smoke up the chimney, being
consumed. The modus operandi is very
simple, all that is required to be done being
to sprinkle about half an ounce of the com
position over the fire. A chemical react On
takes place in the coal, and the top of the
fire becoming cemented together, gradua ly
consumes all of the tar and black smoke
given off, while the heat, instead of IS
Gaping through the top of the fire, is thrown
ont into the room. After the fire is about
half burnt out nothing but coke remains,
and it gives off a great heat. The compo-
sition is not, however, suitable for use with
a coke fire.

sand be always placed within convenient
reach of each workman employed where

practice might well be followed wherever
there is possibility of fire starting in oils
