Bro Paisley, the pastor, is attend ing the Association at Poplar Grove church near Forrest City. 7. Quarterly Conference will be held here Oct. 30-31, which is the fifth Sunday. Hope to have a good time as it is the last one to be held this yeaE Sunday school has gone into winter quarters early. Now, this is too bad. We can't afford t3 do without Sunday school. With proper interest 1t can be carried on all the time. Oh for an old time revival to wake up and rouse the people to sense of duty. Then we would have Sunday school all the time, prayer meeting and regular at- tendance at church too. BORN
 To Willie Bob and Katie Hen- derson, a fine boy last Saturday. We offer congratulations. ... Tom Hamilton will clerk for Walter at Postelle, for q short while. <. A number of our cit izens, old and young, have gone to Helena courting this week. Hope they will have good time.

 Frost reported on the 14th. ....s We have had pleasant weather for the last week. Miss Bettie How ard. one of our far damsels, re- turned from Springfield, Ill. last Saturday night. J. L. Williams found two car loads of hls stolen cattle in Kansas City. We were mistaken in regard to the time they were stolen. It was about four weeks ago instead of on the 2nd A good many farmers are reporting their sweet potatoes rot ting in the patch. Some say that the stench from the rotten potatoes is almost unbearable. =. Rev. Jno. k. Jones will commence his protracted meeting at the M. E. Church on Wednesday night the 18th. We sincerely hope that the meeting will be largely attend ed and that everybody will lend a helping hand. Now brethern come out and help us to have an old time revival. We need 1t and we ought to have it. Come don't be a stumbling block. <. Rah for 1relandl That's the way to talk 1t my brother. If the young ladies would respect themselves more and not allow any young men to visit them who perfumes their breath with demon Hbust skull", they would reform them much sooner than they could in any other way. Any man who guards his coward 1 ice with "popH and swells his coat pocket with quart has 1 lost all self respect-if he ever. had any, and should be refused 8 visit by all young ladies =. We note with deepest regret the at tempted assassination of Joe. L.. Williams or last Saturday eve, a. bout four miles northwest of Roe. He MAS w.-s- lls;iiii,. ;iiii and shot twice, once in the right arm and once i'll the right lung Drs. Kelley and West attended him as soon as pos sIble which was several hours af- ter the shooting They report | that he is doing well and seem to think his wounds are not serious. He says Bud" Cannon a brother of Mrs E. l.. Williams did the shooting. Deputy Sheriff R. F. Mlwee was sent for and came on the midnight train and proceeded to the place of trouble. He ar rested Bud" Sunday morning and turned him over to Deputy Sheriff Mayberry of Roe. Bud denies the charge and says he had nothing to do with it. No doubt the trouble grew out of the arrest of four parties charged with the stealing of Joe's cattle

The great credit system has ruined more than it has ever made and when you deal on a credit you not only pay more for the article that you buy, but you materially damage the cash buyer. The farmers can plainly see that cotton is thing of the past and it is not worth the ground it is raised on

Great damage was done to the cotton crop in Georgia by three. days and nights of wind and rain, last week they put the damage at 5,OO0.000 with such damage it does look like the price of cotton would advance The Public School was closed for two days last week as both of the teachers were sick but are again at their post of duty and hope they will not be sick any more. =.

The Secret Of Longevity.

Sir Isaac Holden, who died in his
ninety year, was neither teeto-
taller nor a nonsmoxer. Sir Isaac was a
man with theories According to him,
the two great essentials for those who
would live long and DO healthy are
plenty of fresh air and plenty Of fruit.
His rule was never, if he could help it,

the open air. When he entered his first
situation, he said to his employer that
he would be glad to have an hour daily
in the afternoon for walk If granted.
he would not ask for any holiday, or
would make up otherwise for the time
so spent This was agreed to. Sir Isaac
took his walk daily, and to this, he
used to say, he owed both health and
fortune.
But though in addition to fresh air
he believed in plenty of fruit, Sir Isaac
was not a vegetarian It was not meat,

We agree with Brother Mitchell, of
the Richmond PLANET, relative to
Abraham Lincoln's actions or suppos-
ed intentions. Our support of the
Republicans has nothing to do with
what Mr.. Lincoln did. II the parties
principles are not broad enough for
colored men to stand on, on equal
footing. then we have no right to sup
port those representing them.
Our votes should go TO support the
men, and not parties, who treat US as did
Lincoln, Grant. Sumner, John Brown,
Garrison and Philips. Cleveland did
more for the eolored people than ever
Mckinley has. He signed the bill
that mixed the schools OF New York
State and signed another that they
should ride in street cars, and when
Pre- sident, stood like brother to his
colored supporters. Such men are
safe for US to support-others are not.
