From Des Arc.

Last Saturday night old man EZell went
down near Piedmont to see his best girl, a
lovely grass widow of 50 or 40 summers, but,
behold, he ran into her former husband, a
penitentiary convict from Tennessee, who
was liberated with several last summer by
by the strikers of the Tennessee coal mines
near Nashville, land he has been hiding around
here ever since. Mr.. Eel came back to
Des Arc and photographed the authorities at
Nashville if this man was wanted, if SO what
reward would they pay: They answered
back SO and expenses, and to bring him
along. So Sunday night he went back to
Piedmont and took the marshal and consta-
BILE and went on: in the country where he
was stopping and took the fellow out of bed.
Mr.. +. not only gets the reward, but will
stand better show 10 get the widow.
John McFaden got q pension last week.
1t seems here OF. late that any man that saw
a live Rebel and killed a yellow dog during
the war gets a pension.

message, and that is Re recommends that
the railroads devise some better means to
protect the brakeman, as there were over
300 killed and 1903 crippled during the last
twelve months.
The Baptists held a meeting Saturday
night and elected Rev. j. Watson pastor for
the coming year.
Jas O'Neal of Mill Spring Sundayed in
Des Are. Ifreports are true, he will take a
better half soon.
Miss Lizzie Lowe is visiting friends in
Des Arc.
Some one stole u sack of corn from John
Kelly's crib one night last week, while John
was away from home. His wife heard the
fellow and made him drop it. Quite a brave
act for a woman, but she came from brave
stock-a daughter of Col. t. B. Lowe.
Madam Rumor hit it exactly about Chas.
Stevenson's getting married. He came in
from Brunot Saturday night, and took his
intended bride, Mrs. Fannie Daniels, daught-
er of Barney Brewington, to Ironton. There
they were married, and the happy couple
went to st. Louis. We wish them much
Joy, &c.
There is not much preparation being made
for Christmas; but one thing every family in
this county ought to do, and that Is, while
they are feasting and having a good time,
they ought to stop and think for one moment
of the poor children around them that have
hardly bread and clothing to keep them
warm this cold winter. And open Your
hearts and pocket books and do something,
no matter how little it is, to help the poor.
God will bless cheerful giver. ISAAC.

Revival Meeting!

A revival meeting will begin at the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, in Irontou on New
Years Eve, Dee. 3lst. The people worsh ip-
ing at this church will observe the old-fash-
Toned watch Night Services, closing at mid
night. We believe this will be an excellent
way in which to close the year 1891, and be-
gin the year 1892; thanking our heavenly
Father for the many mercies and blessings
shOwered on us the past year, and praiSing
Him for the richly laden opportunities,
which, by the eye of faith, we see in the
incoming year. We invite ali of our friends
who are so disposed, to worship with us
that night. The series of revival services
will be conducted by the Rev. B. S. Taylor,
y. NJ, of Des Moines, Iowa. Mr.. Taylor is
a man of ability. in the yigor and freshness
of young manhood, and is wonderfully
clear teacher of Scripture truth. We invite
all people to come; especially do we invite
Ministers of the Gospel; and we request all
Christian people who earnestly desire the
prosperity of our Lords Kingdom, to be
much in secret devotion, asking God fer
the salvation of their friends, and members
OF their families who are unsaved. Let US
all plead for the fulfilment Of the promise in
Ezekiel Sc: 1921. Even SO, Lord. Amen.
