The other day, in Monticello, people going down town, on Nam street no- ticed a very disagreeable odor coming from the old Owens office, just across the railroad from the square. Nothing was thought of it until the odor be- came so offensive that MT. R. w. Shel- ton opened a window to see what caused such stench. He was mortified on looking through the window to find the dead body of a man in an advanced state of decomposition. The authori- ties were notified and an inquest held, the jury returning a verdict of death from unknown causes
 The body proved to be that of Charles Marks, an itinerant painter who had been there several weeks, but was sup posed to have gone to Warren. He was a native of France, but whether he had relatives in this country is not known. His remains were inferred in the potters' field.

Our Colleges.

 The Arkansas colleges, both male and female. have opened with a much larger attendance than ever before This demonstrates the fact that the people of Arkansas are beginning to realize we have excellent colleges at home, and that it is no longer neces- sary to send a girl or a boy off to another state in order to give them a good education. The Methodist and Ouachita Baptist col leges at Philadelphia and Cumberland college at Carksville are good schools, and have demonstrated that with prop CT management, co-educational schools are successful. The Galloway college and Searcy Female institute, at Searcy, and Central Baptist college at Conway, are strictly for girls, and it would be difficult to find better schools anywhere in the land
 The Searcy college at Searcy and Hendrix college at Conway afford ez- cellent facilities for educating boys and young men. Experienced teachers bearing excellent regulations are in charge of each school.
 There are several other colleges in the state. also doing magnificent work, and all should receive all the home en- couragement possible
