CITY Council of this city, copies Ct
their ideas on the silver question.
Their ideas are in pamphlet form and
ale intended to lead the city fathers

gladncss and jubilation to the
 hearts of the attendant listeners
 This concluded, Jas. C. Knox
 Esq. made the address of wei come, which was delivered in q masterly manner and breathed forth the kindliest and friendliest greetings to all. His tribute to the fair sex, especially, was mag nihcently grand, and won for the orator the good opinion of those who were present. More music, by the Band, and Dr. John Me Laughian, was introduced to the audience. His theme was, "Our order.' To gay that the Dr. did the subject justice would be mild y stating the facts. He did, even, more than well. His address was historical, classical and poetical; it was logical, pathetical and prac- tical. He outlined the history of the Pythian Brotherhood from it's early organization to the present time; showed it's rapid advances and told of its great achieve ments for good and it's manifold acts of benevolence. The address was we'll received and most high ly appreciated and heartily enjoy. ed. More music, and the crowd was invited to the tables, winch were placed just in the rear of the speakers stand. They were ar ranged in Y shape, artistieally dee orated by the hands of the ladies and ladened with ice-cream, straw berries and many kinds of delic- ious cakes. The supper was pleasant and enjoyable affair. Ev- erything passed off in the most agreeable manner. Taking it all in all, the K. of P. Entertai nment, on the present occasion, was one of the most enjoyable affairs that it has been our good fortune to witness and participate in for sometime. Not single incident, so far as we observed, occurred 10 mar the pleasures of the occasion. May the noble Order of the Pyth, ian Brotherhood continue to grow and may the Monticello Knights, of Jas. A. Jackson Lodge, live to celebrate many moro aniversa- ries

 At an early hour the grounds were splendidIy lighted with lamps, Chinese Lanterns, &c., and soon the K. of Ii. Cornett Band be gan to delight the ear with excel lent music. The Knights of the Pythian Brotherhood, with tbeil families and invited guests, early assembled. Seats had been pre- pared in front of an elevated stag or speakers stand. which was nice ly and elaborately decorated witt flowers, ever-greens, flags, bunt ings and Pythian emblems.

HOME HAPPINESS.

There is real, true, genuine home happiness but once in life, and that is when the children are all young, and with the "old folks" around the hearth-stone. Years roll on and time is feeting; and the first, or eldest son goes away to some distant place to be- gin for himself the battle of life, or the daughter-the pride of the family-is wooed and won, and borne away to strangers home. Then, for the first time the charmed circle is broken; the fond moth er's loving heart is filled with sad ness, and tears take the place of smiles. The father, too, becomes morose; and gathering gloom per vades where sunshine was wont to stay. And as time goes on, anoth- CT and another leaves, until the old folks at home are left desolate and alone; and they live in remem- brance of the once happy days that have passed and gone to re- turn to them, in this life, no more forever.

Two Lives Saved.

Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of June tion City, Ill. was told by her doctors she had Consumption and that there was no hope for her, but two bottles Dr. Kings New Discovery completely cured her and she says it saved her life. Mr. Thos. Eggers, l39 Florida St. San Francisco, suffered from a dreadful cold, approaching Con. sumption, tried without result ev- erything else then bought one bot tie of Dr. Kings New Discoy cry and in two weeks was cured. He is naturally thankful. It is such results, of which these are sam pies, that prove the wonderful ct- ficacy of this medicine in Coughs and Colds.

RYAN-In Chicago, Ill.,, Tues Jay, May :, 1895, John George Ryan, aged 54 years.
 It is with deep and sincere re- gret that We chronicle the death of Col. Ryan, whose demise was the end of severe sufferings which he had undergone for years from wounds received during the late unplesantness, he having been 3 brave and gallant soldier of the "Lost Cause
 He was born in Toronto, Canada in 1S41, and had resided in Missis sippi and portions of Louisiana before locating in Arkansas which he did prior to the war. Ht was a prime mover in the organi zation of the "Carroll Guards,' { company organized in this city a the breaking out of the war, anC which dld credltable work during the long struggle.
 From the trade edition of tn, Press, Eagle, of which paper Col Ryan was for years and at th' time of his death the bright anC 1 gifted correspondent, we take thu following extract:
 "When Col. Ryan left New Or leans in May, 1861, he intended tC join the Louisiana troops tha were being organized to join Gems Price and McCulloch in Missouri but sickness caused him to disem bark at Pine Bluff. When Gen Earl Van Dorn called tor 10,0O' volunteers, Col. Ryan was among the first to respond, as many of hi comrades who now resides in Pin Bluff will cheertully testify. Fron that time until the close of tn bloody struggle, Col. Ryan wa constantly in the line of duty with exception ot when the enem. wounded him and made him thei prisoner. At the terrible battl of Corinth, Oct. 3 and 1, 1862, O the morning of the second day C the fight. he was trightfnll. wounded and made prisoner. l i the same battle Capt. Gcorg" AT

cello that needs attention. and tha
 right speedily, and that is th' question of the new railroad
 What has been d0ne2 and what Il
 being done about it? Do the peo pie intend to make an effort to ge' this new road, or do they intenc to lay low, keep quiet and d. nothing and let the iron horse pull up the slopes west of us, along the Saline river? This is what is going to be done, unless our peo pie go to work and comply with the proposition made them by the Company. Other parties and other places are at work for this same line of railway. This is | fact, and Monticello will find il out to her sorrow, soon, if some thing is not done.
 The Southern portion of our city has developed quite a galaxy ot first-class farmers. Among the number, are Messrs. W. II. Mul. lins, J. K. Wells, E. R. Gotham, c. T. Harris, F. o. Robertson and J. R. Gotham, Jr. (we put the "Jr. " there, you see, for fear some would think it was us, which it is noO. We are somewhat of farmer, our self, but we are of that class who had rather farm with thelr mouths than with their hands. It may not pay so well, but, then, it is n great deal easier. But we are di. gressing from the subject we had in view, and what we started to write about. The gentlemen re fcrred to, are farming on both the intensive and extensive systems and are starting off with glowing and glorious prospects. They all appear to have corn in view and seem to be fatally bent on making it. Mr. Mullins is the oldest and most experienced farmer among them, and never fails to make good crops; but some of these new tyros are striving to keep up with him, and one or two of them are endeavoring to excel him. So earnest are they in their efforts that they have purchased all the stable manure to be had, exhaust ed the visible supply of cotton seed, ran-sacked the town for cot ton-seed meal and raw-bone, ploughed down a halfdozen strong horses and as many able bodied negro men. And yet, if they don't look sharp, and dig early and late, the sequel will prove that the old man will house more corn, this fall, than all of them put together.

 DEAR EDIToR-Not seeing any thing lately in the paper about our city, will drop few lines. Having an abundance of rain, cool nights and the cut worms are playing smash with garden truck, some of our citizeas have been fire hunting for cut worms, they catch from five to oHe thous- and per night, can't utilize them to any purpose at all, not even fit for soup or pies. Corn is looking fine, cotton is beginning to lave chills. Every body is well up with their work. It is distressingly healthy; our doctors have the oppo- tunity to work their truck patch es and go hunting, even our friend and dentist Dr Peacock IS ire quently seen between tho piow handles, people are too hard run to have the tooth. ache. Through tho enterprising efforts of Messrs. Henly, Quinn, Peacock and Touch- stone, assisted by Prof. Breedlove we are having fourishing school at the Myhand school House. Rev. John TIllar, son of our old friend Dr. Tillar, came up few Sundays ago and organized q Christian Endeavor Society for the benefit of the young ladies and gents, he also preached us an ex- cellent sermon on Sunday. MT. Macon Lord has lately built n large new edition to his house and now has his name enrolled as one of our best farmers. Our old friend Charles Pick ems handles the yard stick behind the counter al the house of Mrs. NJ. F. Prewitt X Go. they are doing fine business, and Charley don't part his hair in the middle but always looks like q basket oi smiles, as he receives the large bask cts of hcn-iruit brought to exchange for goods Report, the old liar, assisted by the horse-editor, still does busi- ness at the old stand, turning out yarns and neigh borb ood gossip for the enjoyment of the curious and lovers of cheap fire side con versation. They are talking of starting a monthly paper. 10 be known as the Drew County En- lightner. In opinion,i it will be know nothing, in politics Republican. It will advocate female suffrage and utillze good deal of poetry in it's local columns. Old father Mason still sits on the front gallery, ever  ready to walk over anl see evry- thing that springs ap new in the city. Dr. Moore and his old horse Jake, brought the old man over 3 few days ago, in hurry. The Dr was trying to blow his garden with old Jake and the old man thought the cars had arrived in the city, but, alas, 1t was nothing but the Doctor whispering to Jake.
