The protracted meeting at the
Methodist church in this place
closed out last Monday night. A
good interest was manifested in
this meeting from the beginning
by a number Of christians and
sinners. Revs. Wayman and
Castleberry preached good SER
mons at each service. Bro.
Wayman returned to his home
at Sulphur Rock Sunday after
noon. While here he made a
number Of friends. He has a
christian experience which can
charm the hardest unbeliever.
Up to four years ago he was a
hard drinker, having reached a
point where many friends gave
up hope. "But" says he, 81 put
my life upon the altar and have
every since been a happy men,"
Rev. Castleberry has many
friends here. He was sick the
last few days Of his stay but was
able to return to his home last
Wednesday, In this meeting no
one labored more faithful than
Bro. Southworth.

on the character Of the elder
brother.
"But amid all the rejoicing"
he said, "there was one to whom
the preparations of the feast
brought no joy, to whom the
prodigal's return gave no pleas
ure, but only bitterness; one who
did not approve of the feast be-
ing held, and who had no wish to
attend it. Now can any of you
tell me who this was?"
There was a breathless silence,
followed by a vigorous cracking
of thumbs, and then from a dozen
sympathetic little geniuses came
the chorus:
"Please, sir, it was the fatted

nae and mistook Monday for
Sunday and had also failed to
note the change in his rider, at
any rate when he reached a GER
taic dead dog wood sapIing he
quietly turned from the road and
walking up to it, refused to go
any farther. His Honor sought
to correct his mistake by a state
ment of the facts, but this prov
ing unavailing he grew eloquent
in his entreaties and followed by
a generous application of the fer
ule with like results. At last
when the sun was sinking low in
the west and His Honor had ex-
hausted his physical strength as
we'll as his entire vocabulary of
choice epithets and anathems
that he had collected to hurl at
his friend, the. enemy he sue
ceeded in getting Old Jim's head
turned homeward.
Old Jim was both a moral and
.pious mule, while he was not
given to "speak out in prayer
meeting" nor sought notoriety
by loud nor persistent braying,
yet by precept and example he
sought to impress all with whom
he came in contract with his con-
victions of right and duty; thus
his memory stands to day as an
eloquent rebuke against the
political fallacies Of his other
wise worthy master for he lived
until his blended locks of white
and black merged into silver,
showing that all true excellence
concentres in the argentine rays
of our beloved white metal.

ANOTHER WORTHY TRIB-
UTE TO OLD JIM.

Editor RECORD: Having read
the death notice and subsequent
obituary of cold JIM the ven-
cradle mule of Hon. Jno. S..
Medley and noted their defici-
ency in properly describing his
characteristic traits, We feel it is
our duty to add our reminis-
cences of him by way Of more
clearly enlightening the public
on his noble character.
While Old Jim was lacking in
the vocal powers Of his illustri o.
Gus ancestor who rebuked the
erring prophet, we feel assured
that he will 60 down in history
as the most noted descendant of
that worthy beast.
Old Jim was a dignified mule,
we remember once when we COM
prised a fifth part of a 2500 pound
load that Old Jim assisted in
drawing from Batesville. Our
normal weight is 175 pounds, but
upon this occasion it was greatly
increased by having assisted
ellis Honor" in discussing the
merits of two jugs CT native corn
juice the previous night. On
this memorable trip E. A. Medley
was steersman, His Honor as
skipper, applied the ferule and
performed the vocal duties per-
tanning to that office, while your
correspondent occupied a seat
in the rigging and assisted His
Honor in selecting choice epithets
to hurl at the devoted head of
Old jim; but not once during
that exciting journey did Old
jim compromise his dignity by
quickening his pace not once did
the flapping ears vary their mo-
mentum, but with quite dignity
and a disregard for pain worthy
OF a stole, he persisted in main
tanning his usual gait 1 mile an
hour.
Old Jim was patient mule.
We have known him to stand
hitched to a dead dog wood sap.
ling from noon Sunday until
"wee sma" hours Monday with
out uttering a single note to
remind his recreant master of the
righteous mans duty to his
beast,
Old Jim was a dutiful mule.
Like Mr.. Meagles he put duty
above all other obligations and
we are told that this trait in his
character at one time came near
forever severing the friendly
relations existing between him
and His Honor and was a potent
factor in retiring His Honor to
the blissful shades of private
life.
II happened in this manner
in the middle eighties when the
storm cloud of wheolerism over
our fair and fertile country and
threatened to forever engull the
old ship Of democracy; His
Honor fired by the holy zeal Of
saving the old ship at the hazard
of putting himself for q time in
the state house mounted Old jim
aal started south via the Bates
.y,'ls road to arouse the native
clans, show Jhe ross Of Gre as

A BLOW FOR LIBERTY,

Heroic little Greece will pIay as i'm
portant part in modern as in ancient
history If she persists in the attitude
that she has taken. 1t appears now
that her dispatch of assistance to Crete
was no mere military maneuver or
empty threat. but that she is resolved
to take the responsibility Of the situa-
ton upon herself and to accent the
consequences. Very probably, as is
usual in such cases, the other powers
have been dealing with her craftily
and insincerely. Some of them have
egged her on to this step only to desert
her when circumstances come. She has
only to stand fast in order to rout
them all. Before anything can be done
it is probable that the whole of Crete
will have yielded to the arms CT Greece.
There are no Turkish forces in the
island sufficient to resist the troops
that have been dispatched from Athens.
and the Turkish sultan is in no position
to take active defensive measures. He
is apparently relying upon the assist
ance of the powers, and he is likely to
find that the same broken reeC that it
was when the Christians Of Armenia
tried to lean upon it.
The aggregate powers of Europe
are about as cowardly O. lot
as it would be possible to find.
They are in deadly terror of an out
break that would involve them in hos
tilities with one another, and it has
been proved that any party outside of
them can do what he pleases in Europe
without reprisals. If the atrocities of
the Turk, resented as they were by the
people Of all Christendom, could not
stir the powers to united action, there
is little fear that they will interfere
