From DeS Arc.

Rev. Giboney, evangelist, is holding a |
series of meetings at the Baptist chur6,
and, from present prospects, l think we wal |
have glorious revival at this place. TIE |
church is crowded every night and much In |
terest is being felt among the people. al
The town board has built plank wall
from the depot to the post-office, which is
credit to our town. They have also graveled
the streets where they needed it.
E. W. Graves made flying visit to St.
Louis and Iowa last week.
We are very sorry to hear of DR.. L. M.
Pettit's sad condition. He has been faith.
full doctor in this country, ready to go, pay
or no pay. 1 remember some years ago he
was attending a man that had the consump-
ton, and he knew his time was short, and
this man had a life insurance policy of $4,000
that was about to go back, and the Doctor
kept it paid up, and when the man died he
drew the money and paid it to the widow,
and gave her his doctor bill free. Where is
another man in this county will do that?
May God help his afflicted family.
Thanksgiving day was very poorly cele-
brated here. Most of US had crow for din.
ner in place of turkey.
In regard to the wreck at Gads Hill of No.
vember 9th, received my information from
reliable freight conductor, and he put the
whole blame on the night agent. L did not
refer to the day agent at all and / don't see
why he should get his back UP, but, l sup
pose, the shoe fits him Is why he took it up.
There are two agents at Gads Hill, day
man and night man, their duties are the
<;ol,o ,I.,x 10,
has more to do delivering freight, etc. Gads
Hill Is a very poor station and the wages are
very small. A good man will not accept the
office, and, If he does, it is only for short
time, until he can do better. All the agents
that have been there before this dude came
always left very soon or died; the most of
them die. The fact that this dude has been
there quite little while shows very plain
that he is not much punklns. l will not say
any more about this matter in the paper, for
dislike quarreing, so il l have said any
thing the dude don't like he knows where I
live. ISAAC.

The revival meeting is still going on at the
Baptist church, and, up to The present writ
ing, there have been eleven or twelve CONVEX
sious. Six joined the Baptist church o-day,
Sunday. This being the first Sunday, 1t was
the regular day for the Methodists' regular
Quarterly Meeting. So last night the COM
bned forces of the Baptists and Methodists
met at the Baptist church, and we had one
OF the largest crowds that ever met in Des
Are. Also had a fine sermon from Rev.
Green, Presiding Elder. Among the visitors
from Piedmont were DR.. Holmes, Mrs.
Plunket and Miss Mamie Yancey. The
meeting will continue several days yet.
Miss Birdie Collins of Sabula is visiting
here.
Thos. Farrar Of Washington county is here
to see his family. He is running mill near
Potosi.
E. W. Graves is laid up with cold.
Q. c. Morris has gone to Holladay's log
camp to haul logs.
The American millers certainly are noble
set of men. They propose to give the starry
ing people of Russia 10000 barrels of flour,
valued at 100000, and the railroad proposes
10 take it free to the sea coast. This is very
liberal.
Another very charitable move is coming
off at the Exposition Christmas night. The
Sunday Schools will have an entertainment
in order to raise money to buy the poor
children, from five to twelve years old,
pair of shoes. They want to buy rs many as
eight thousand pair. 1t would be a good
time for the shoe dealers to be around.
Mr.. Hinchey was here Saturday in the in
terest of the Post Dispatch. On account of
no night mail or express he made no engage
meuts for it.
Doc Clarkson was in town Saturday.
The lumber shipments at present are very
slim.
