We are glad to announce to the citizens of Pine Bluff and neighboring 6owns that Glen MeWiliams, the able and most successful evangelist, is in our city.

who in this way learn modelling in clay and the art of carving stone | The Chicago exhibit illustrates the splendid work done there. There are fifty departments in that assOcia- tiOn's work, which are studied by 300 young men. There is work shown of one young man who, when he commenced, was only getting $50 a month, but now, after course in the mechanical department, he gets $50 month.
 The I. M. c. A. has the only school of carriage draughting The Asso- citation of Carriage Builders says when young man has taken this course he should command $1 200 a year.
 The furniture designs by the Grand Rapids associations are fine. Fifteen of the boys there had their salaries increased $15 a month after the Y. M. c. A. course.
 The wood carving from the Chica- go exhibit is especially beautiful. All were carved from flat prints.
 1t was demonstrated very clearly by Mr Hodges that young men who avail themselves of these opportuni- ties not only are better fitted for their work, but can command higher salaries. He also demonstrated the fact that the percentage of calls for manual and scientific laborers far exceeded all others. An effort will be made to establish an educational department in connection with the Pine Bluff Association.

 Itis not likely the community is fully sensible of it's loss, Maj. Speers performed his duties and fulfilled the trusts imposed in him so unostentatiously as to attract to himself but slight notice from the public. But he made most of the faculties given to him by nature; he cultivated them with un- fagging diligence, so that they deteriorated neither from misuses or disuse. By tireless industry and persistent application of his powers, he attained 8 business and social position which is full of encourage ment and promise to every strug- gling spirit. The chief characteristic of his work was the application of strictly business principles, so that he worked out righteous results While he toiled assiduously, yet tn.

McWiliams and to feel satisfied that much good to our city will result from this meeting. Public opinion, as voiced by the press, wherever this evangelist has been known; pro- nounce him to be a sound and con vincing reasoner. At times overflow ing with wit and humor, and withal a fearless denunciator of evil in all it's forms. He can be serious and humorous just as the ease requires. and he has an almost inexhaustable fund of anecdoteto draw upon in il- lustrating the great gospel truths. He is an earnest, consecrated young man, thoroughly conversant with the Bible.
 We present our readers with very correct likeness of this eloquent young divine, who breaches for the first time in this city at the Second Avenue Presbyterian Church this morning at T. o'clock, anu those de- siring seats should go early. This afternoon at 3 o'clock there will be a special evangelistic song service, followed by services at night, begin ming promptly at 7:45 o'clock.

Y. M. c. A. EXHIBIT.
AN INTERESTING LECTURE BY MIR GEORGE B. HODGES ON Y;m.
 c. A. WORK.
The Exhibit Viewed and Praised by Many
 of Our People.

The international exhibit of the educational department of the T.. NJ. c. A, displayed at Merrill Insti- ute Saturday afternoon by Mr. George B. Hodges was a most attractive and interesting one, and it was viewed by many of our peo- pie It forcibly Illustrates what the associations of the country are doing for young men who desire to help themselves. The exhibit emphasizes industrial and science class work because of the much greater field for occupation for young men. The work displayed in this exhibit is just as it came from the hands of the pupils, and when taken it was not intended to be publicly exhibited, hence it shows the actual class work done in free hand, mechanical and architectural drawing, wood carv- ing, carpentering, blacksmithing and numerous other subjects leading up to the occupation of mechanical and electieal engineering.
 Last evening Mr. Hodges deliver ed most interesting lecture on the subject of the Y. NJ. c. A. educational department, in which he takes the liveliest interest. He stated that last year there were forty more Y. NJ. (. A. night schools than ever before, with q total attendance of about 22.S00 young men who availed themselves of the advantages offer ed to obtain Knowledge which would be so useful to them in life. Through knowledge obtained in these schools last year over 200young men secured positions after fitting themselves for work in these educational depart ments and 150 of these had their salaries largely increased. The work is extremely practical and covers seventy y-fiye different classes. The exhibit contains 300 specimens from about fifty associations:

allurements of an ample fortune neither benumbed his energies nor belittled his aims, and ir his hands wealth was but the supplement and aid to an industry and zeal rarely excelled even under the spur of poverty. In time of war he proved a gallant soldier, in peace a most useful citizen, in death a good man, entitled to share the rewards Of the faithful.
 Upon his loss to us personally, we need not dwell. We resume our burdens, conscious of the absence of the relief his participation would have offered, feeling as to him that when man hath attained worthy ends, his death may but be deserv- ed rest from the burdens and trials so manfully borne in life.
 To his family we offer our sincere eondolerce. In his death we admit the irreparable loss the Bank has sustained, and hereby record our high appreciation of his manly worth.
 That page be set apart in our minutes and copy thereof inserted therein as memento of the deceased, and that the cashier is hereby directed to send copy of the same to the family of the deceased, and also have the same published in the papers of this city.
