A FAREWELL SONG SERVICE
In Honor of Mrs. Addie T. Owen at tn Main Street Methodist Church
 Sunday Night.

The farewell scng service at the Main Street Methodist church last night, in honor of Mrs. Addie T Owen, the retiring organist of the church, was largely attended, and the affair was impressive and full of interest. Mrs. Owen i3 dearly be- loved by every person in the city who knows her, andit was with hearts the Main Street Methodist Church bade her goodbye and God speed last night, for today she left for Greenyille, Texas, her future home where she will reside with her son, MT. Frank Owen.
 A committee of the church ap- pointed by the Official Board pre- pared the following preamble and resolutions which were unanimously adopted last night and ordered spread on the record of the church: WHEREAS, in the course of human events, individuals are called upon to change their homes, and sever sacred ties that bind, and leave loved ones behind to go into new fields of labor, and form new associates, be- cause of existing circumstances, that seems for the best, and whereas, it is fact that our good sister and CO., worker for Christ, Mrs. Addie T. Owen, leaves as to make her home with son in Greenville, Texas, therefore be it
 RESOLVED, That we, the Official Board of First Methodist Church, South, of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, do sincerely regret to loose her from our church membership, from our organ, aud from our society, but pray for Heavens richest blessings to rest on her, and some sweet day ii not on this earth, then in the great beyond to meet again where there is no part ing.
 She has given us faithful service for five years, while in control of the church music. and not only delighted the hundreds of audiences, but she has played an important part i'll the two great events of human life. She has sounded many u wedding note, as well as the last farewell to our l departed dead.
 We wish her wealth, happiness. prosperity and Godliness, and while the loss is great, we congratulate 1 the church on securing the services of Miss Nodie Andrews to perman- ently take charge of our music.
 May the prayers of our people fol- low Sister Owen through all her future and may she ever feel that she has left behind her friendship that is sublime in the name of our blessed master.

cipal oithe school. II was not long before lis ambition took another turn and he studied law, and at 9 he was admitted to the bar. He is one of the best natural lawyers in the United States, and to this apti- tude he has added the wisdom of much reading and experience. While yet tall attenuated lad of 19, he was. taken by Governor Stevenson, of Kentucky. on political tour and it frequently happened that the goxz ernor incapacitated himself from overeating, to which he was prone, and young Carlisle had to speak for him. It is thus seen that the future secretary of the treasury began his political career very early. Mr. Car ljsle soon after his appearance in congress won place for himself as ready and resourceful de- batter and a man of wide informa- ton, especially on all questions of finance. He has courteous, dignified maaDers and admirable tact'and dis erection. He never attacks persons, bat always principles. He never praises nor expects it of another and invariably meets aattcry with a frown.
 Mir. Carlisle was elected to the Forty-tifth, Forty y-sixth. Forty-sev- enth, Forty-eighth, Forty-ninth, Fiftieth and Fifty-frst congresses, and was speaker of the Forty shth, Forty y-ninth and Fiftieth. Mr. Car lisle was elected to the senate to succeed Senator Beck, and resigned to accept the treasury portfolio un- der President Cleveland.

There are those who booted at the
Herald when we suggested free coin
age of limestone. They are probably
not aware of the fact, and it is fact,
that the production of limestone in
1894 was but $4,000, 600 below the
value of the silver mined and to be
in line with Silverite, we might add
that but for the demonstration of
limestone, it would now be on parity
with silver.
