The railroad company finally con-
sented to have the man Sterling, who
was killed while attempting to alight
from car in which he had been steal
ing a ride, buried at its expense.
While, of course, there was a great
variance of opinion as to whose duty it
was to bury the body. it was the
general opinion that the railroad
company ought to do SO.
The letter of Supt. Peck, of the Mo.
Pacific, threatening that the action of
the council in compelling them to flag
their trains across Main street might
cause the removal of the division from
here looks like good stiff bluff. This
action will not influence such removal
unless the company can see advantages
in moving away from here and if they
saw those advantages at some other
point no favorable action of the council
would keep them from moving.

From the Fort Smith Times Democrat
There is no more popular preacher in
the Arkansas conference of the NJ. E.
church, South, than Y. V. Harlan, of
Clarksville, and his many friends in

entering the pulpit. Several months

the brain. He recovered speedily, but
lately has had relapse, and his con-
