 Students should work to program. It begets habit of working systematically Ky doing everNthitt. in it's proper time,

 No less important is "a place for ey- Ierything, and everything in it's place : This is the secret of we'll ordered home An orderly arft@Sement of the desk is a start in the right direction. Another new stove adds to the comfort

 at the Worlds Fair by the De Moss fam | fly. and won so much fame as now to bt 1 in great demand. Soon our school will
 be singing their love of this home. It is
 an undoubted fact that we neglect culti-
 vating within the rising generation the proper love for Arkansas and her re- sources, hence our youth are disposed to
 wander beyond her borders. 1ardiness and absence indicate lack
 of interest in school on the part of either the pupil or parent. Written excuse. l should explain every case of necessity | those without necessity should not occur | at alI

 Dr. Chuyler has said It is not what we earn but what we save that makes us rich; not what we eat but what we digest that makes us  strong; not what we read but what we remember that makes us learned ; not what we preach but what we practice that makes us Christians. These are common truths, yet are often forgotten by the spend-thrift, the glutton, the book worm and the hypocrite.

 We failed to place the names Of Mir. Willie Warren and Miss Mary Eubanks among the new boarders, but notwithstanding they are here and doing good work,
 Among the outside students we see Miss May Horton, J M. Turner, Almons Cobb, Robert Brashears and John Horton.

-Rey. WI. MeAnally died at the home of his son, Walter, in Russellville on Thursday night last aud was buried Friday in the city cemetery, Rev. W. E. Rutledge officiating at the grave. The deceased was well known and for some years had been a minister in the Metho- dist Episcopal church. Tn October 1890 he left Russellville and moved to Okla hona and took work in that new field and remained until lis health compelled him ;o retire from the hardship of labor. Prom Oklahoma he went to Texas and located at Bowie. but remained there on lY few weeks and then returned to Rnssellville in October last to tarry among his friends q very short time, however. He died Of that dread disease consumption, leaving a family of wife and three children by his last marriage and three by his first. These with many other friends mourn his death.

Death of T. C. Deaton.

Charles Thomas Deaton departed this ! life on the sth of November, 1893, in his l3d year. He was born March 20, 1850, near the city of Atlanta, Ga. His par ents shortly after his birth moved into the city where he was raised until the war troubles necessitated the removal of the family as refugees to Hawkinsville, In the same State, where he remained until he came to Russellville in the fall or winter of 1871. He was in business with his brotherinlaw, Capt. J. II. Perry until Capt Perry sold out to Mr. c. K. Howell. He then engaged with MT. J.. l.. Shinn and staid with him year, aQd then went to Mississippi and was in
 business there couple of years when he returned to Russellyille and went into the service of the railroad-then the Lit tie Rock and Ft. Smith road-but since merged into the Missouri Pacific system. He remained in this employ until his death. being a foreman in the bridge building department on the Bald Knob branch, when he died. He got to be one of their trusted men in this line. He was a man in physical form and power with but few equals, and possessed a physique which he considered almost proof against exposure and the natural hardships incident to his business. On the 9th of November, 1881, he was mar ried to Miss Sue c. Munday, with whom he lived in the most agreeable compan- ionship for twelve years, lacking one day. To them were born five children, the oldest of whom, Charles Thomas Jr., died in infancy. The other four-three little girls and baby boy-suryiye him, a precious charge to griet-stricken wife, made widow under such sad circum- stances. In hIs family he was the soul of devotion, administering the good things of this life to the measure of every want. The only thing that marred his happi- ness was the separation from his family which his business made necessary. He came home Oct 2S with his system sur charged with the malaria of theMississip- pi swamps. He also was attacked with Erysipelas of the head, face and hroat
 So violent and malignant was the form of these diseases that his vigor and force, strong as they were, had to succumb. Loving hands supplied every office that devotion could suggest, but could not save him. Tom was not member Of the church. His name was not there, that is, but his heart was. No measure for good went without his support, and not one Tor eNll put iouhu Il ioe III lliih. The native kindness of his heart and generosity of disposition made him a friend out of every acquaintance. And among his railroad associates he was par excellence. No name stands better with them than Tom neatons. Some of them have taken the trouble to make substantial proof of their friendship to his bereayed wife. Besides hls own family there are his old mother and sis ter, Mrs. Sue Perry, and her family to bemoan his death. Russellville has lost many noble specimens of manhood, but none truer than Tom. May the Lord show compassion to the ones left behind.

Militia at the Worlds Fair.

Portland Telegram: There will be
no special display Of military at the
worlds fair. The bill introduced into
the senate by Senator Mitchell, provid.
ing for mobilizing the militia, failed to
pass, and of the various schemes sug-
gested none have materialized. There
Is absolutely no preparation being mad,
at Chicago for the reception, encamp-
ment or entertainment of the National
Guard, and there IL no special induce
ment for military organizations TO go
there az such. IL IL not at all certain
that single military company will
visit the fair as an organization. If
senator Mitchell's bill had passed, the
benefit the National Guard would have
received would have been very great {.
Even had the plan of supplying subsis-
tence and tentage been carried out,
large number of militia would have
gone, but, as II is, such Of the National
Guard as visit the fair will doubtless do
80 as peaceful citizens. Even the ma
tional troops will not be present, az the
war department has decided not to
send any troops nor the West Point
battalion any cadets.
