The levee board had a meeting in
Forrest City Tuesday. Nothing def
mite was accomplished as it was dis
covered that a defect exists in the levee
bill. The board did not want TO levy a
tax and have an injunction issued on ac-
count of defect in the law. The board
sent Capt. Tom Farr and Jno.B b. Driver
rs a committee to Little Rock To have
the defect remedied. Another meeting
of the board will be held at Wynne IN
about twenty days The secretary WAS
instructed to furnish the press with the
proceedings of the meeting in which
so much interest was manifested aud

lie laugh is on Judge Hinton now.
Friday night, about the Time the prls-
oners were escaping. he WAS discussing
with the attorney of Will Scott. hi,
objection to having SCOTS bond re-
duced from $1,000. SCOTS attorney
thought the bond excessive but Judge
Hinton per listed that il was not, and
moreover that the men who went on
the bond would have to qualify that
they were liable for that much. BY
TIN time the argument waS finished
aud tile decision rendered Scott un-
known IT, his honor, had taken leg bail
from the county Jail. which beats no
bail ut all.
G. n and J. n. Bynum came in
Monday and gave us an order for
printing posters for fine stock. Mr.
Bynum says he now has has his farm
products like he has desired them for
twenty years. He raises his hog and
hominy at home, raises number of
young mules every year and raises cot
ton as 4 surplus crop. He says he can
not afford to raise cotton as staple
crop when he can raise IA mule for $50
and sell him for 800. The need of
this country is to have more farmers
like Mr.. Bynum We have the best
country for the farmer chat the sun
shines on, and diversificatio of crops
will prove this. More hogs, more stock
and less cotton acreage will put this
country III healthy financial condi

Abraham Lincoln's physician, the emf
nent DIR. Holland, who attended him in
his last moments. when the brave mans
life was fast ebbing away, stated that it
was not the direct result of the fatal shot
of Booth" but the reduced physical con-
ditition of the president due to the enOr-
nous strain upon his nervous system;
that if he had taken necessary precautions
to have kept his Blood, Liver and Kidneys
in a sound and healthy condition. recev-
cry would have been certain, and that the
remedy he always recommended was He

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
thediA passed portion of the ear There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is CAUSED by infiamed condition OF the
mucous Inning of the Eustachin Tube.
When this tube is lntlamed you hive
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing.
and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result. and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and the tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be dis
troyed forever; nine cases our of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
intlaned condition of the mucous surface.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

The Earmer,s Convention.

@Thereswas hundreds of farmers
IN townSSaturday. They came to
hold mass meeting to discuss
matters pretaining to holding their
wheat untilS.th market offers
better price,.
The convention was called to
order at / p. M, and Frank Park
yn was chosen president and w.
A. Sample secretary. Short speech
es were made by the president and
by J. N. Stone, R. M. O'Brien, ].
N. B. Gerking, George Carmichael,
DR.. G. w. King, David Ashpaugh,
Louis Bergevin, J. G. Myers, Da-
vid Richardson, Rev. Daisley, J.
X. Sailing, J. HI. McBroom, w. A.
Sample and Others. The general
tenor of the remarks related to the
general national distress and the
grave situation of the farmer, es-
pecially if he should be compelled
by creditors to sacrifice his pro-
ducts.
After the speeches q committee
on resolutions was appointed, con-
sisting of George Carmichael, Dir.
King and r. f. Johnson. They
drafted and submitted the follow
ing resolutions, which the conven-
tion adopted:
WHEREAS, the market price of
wheat is below the average cost of
production, and to sell our crops
now means ruin to farmers with
out extinguishing our debts, be
it
RESOLVED, that while we wish It
distinctly understood that we b i
no desire to repudiate any legal ~
legations, we earnestly request that
creditors allow us until December
Is to dispose of our crops in order
that the producers may get the
benefit of the higher prices which
we believe will be obtained by that
date.
Resolved, that q committee Of
three be appointed to correspond
with Portland and other wholesale
and creditors to present to them
the danger ofpushing retail mer-
chants in the city until after July
/, 1884,
David Ashpaugh, N. Pierce and
w. A. Sample were appointed as
the committe called for by the re-
solutions. They will correspond
with the wholesale creditors and
may call. upon them personally,
Ifthe postponement in collections is
granted the farmers feel that they
will be ablesto crawl out of the
hole in which they are at present
situated. If the request is denied
another meeting will probably be
held, to consider further measures.

date for mayor and president of a
POLITICAL club llnawn as Little

,Aeinous crime Of having outraged
his 18-year-old daughter, Maud.
For several days pnst rumors have
circulated to the above effect but
the facts could not be verified until
late Saturday night, when the vic
tim escaped from herbrutal fathers

known her terrible story.
Soon after, men to the number of
about fifty gathered together and
went to Muloch's residence for the
purpose Of making him the central
figure in a lynching bee, but ne
had evidently become aware Of
their intentions and skipped, as no
trace of him could be found.

A Fine Building.

MA PREss reporter visited the new
school house yesterday and found
the work gradually coming to a
close. ellis Bros. who have the
contract for the wood work and
Chas. Sharp, the painting, will
finish up today. Too much praise
cannot be given our directors, and
Supt. Garden, who used such good
Judgment in selecting efficient
workmen and the best of material
for the construction and remodeling
of the building.
The huge proportions of the ex-
terror of the building with its mas
siye coat of cement, presents a
striking contrast with the dull,
monotonous brick structure OF
yore. And here again, the board
showed their good judgment in
putting on the cement, for it adds
very much to the appearance of the
building, besides preserving it
from the ravages of the elements.
The interior is divided into
eight large rooms, besides cloak
rooms, etc., six of which are finish
ed and ready for occupancy, the
other two win not be completed at
present. Two large halls, one on
the ground floor and one on the
upper, run through the center of
the building east and west, afford
ing egress and access through
large double doors in the east and
west enIs of the building. The
upper hall is lighted by large
sky-light.
The roomslook comfortable and
cheerful with. the clean floors fresh
painted wood work, plenty of
light and ventilation.
The teachers have all arrived
and are ready to enter upon their
duties. They are Prof R. O.
Hawks, late superintendent of
schools ofColumbia county Wash,
principal; r. e. Story, of McMinn-
vile, Ore. assistant principal; Miss
Cora Beech, intermediate; Miss
Irene Taylor, primary; Miss
Maud Wade, End primary.Next
Monday morning all will hear
the merry clang Of the school-bell
calling the little ones, and the big
ones to the work of another school
year. May it be a profitable one,
is the wish of the Press.

A Love Feast.

An incident happened at the
camp meeting recently held at
Mosier, which is q good illustra-
ton of practical Christianity. The
minister's sermon was on the dec
trine of forgiveness, and the Ian
guage used was very forcible and
impressive. After the preaching
services the gentleman in charge
extended an invitation for those
willing to forgive their enemies to
come forward. Immediately two
advanced to the altar, who had
been bitter enemies for long
while over a dispute in matters re-
lating to the school district in that
neighborhood, and they embraced
in the presence of the large congre-
CATION. They humbly asked the
forgiveness of each other, and with
closed hands in front of the pulpit,
pledged e-long friendship.
These were followed by others, who
settled long standing quarrels in
the same Christian manner. The
person who related the incident to
us said the scene was very affec-
ting, and many strong men who
were not susceptible to religious
ENTHUSIASM shed tears like children.
1t was truly u feast Of love and
good feeling and had more bene-
fical influence on the people than
all the sermons preached and
prayers offered. Times Mountain

Who is He.

E. O.: Wednesday afternoon at
the depot, as the branch freight
was leaving, big man from
Athena saw a dog on the platform
and kicked it. Frank Goodrich,
who owned the dog, remarked that
the kicker was not gentleman.
and the latter replied that he
would serve Goodrich the same
way. He tried to make his prom
Use good, but Goodrich used his
fists to good advantage, and when
the big man departed for Athena
he was considerably damaged and
disheartened.

The Proposed Train Change !.

e. O.. 1t is learned that the
matter Of change of trains on the
Union Pacific is now in the hands
Of the general manager at the
Omaha office, having been recon-
mended to him by the division
superintendents. It is proposed to
have the Spokane train arrive at
Pendleton in the morning and run
to Portland, and to set its leaving
hour shortly after the arrival Of
the west bound passenger at night.
This will afford close connections
at Pendleton for all directions, and
a double train service between this
city and Portland. II will be a
convenience to people along the
branch who wish to come here on
business, but Pendleton hotels will
suffer. The change may not be
made.
