A PREACHER IN BONDS.

CRAB ORCHARD. May ls--Our peo-
pie had the novel experience Of listen
ing To n soul-stlrring sermon from
minister OF the gospel, who was under
arrest aud in the custody OF the mar
shall of Crab Orchard. Rev. a. NJ.
Lambert, who has lately located in our
town, began "A meeting here the sth OF
May and from the first sermon he began
TO speak in plain terms against the
whisky traffic here and 10 try To awak'
en- the people TO sense OF their duty
In behalf OF the young men aud boys,
who are daily coming in contact with
the evil effects OF whisky.
on May 9th, Rev. Lambert received
a package of whisky papers, which
were sent by Mr.. J. w James To par.
ties in Cincinnati and without proper
addresses on the envelopes. As the
messenger told Mr.. l.. they were for
him, he opened them, looked through
each package for II personal letter to
himself, and finding none, he at once
came to the conclusion that 1t was an
insult thrust at him because he had
taken so prominent stand against the
sale OF whisky. He made no effort to
conceal the matter, brought the letters
TO the church, held them up before the
congregation, with the remark: 81
have this evening received three mes
sages from hell, and while il costs our
government many dollars to get it,
mail carried, the devil gets his free OF
charge and his messenger boards him
self"
MIR. James swore out warrant Tor
his arrest and when the marshal went
To serve IL, he found Rev. Lambert en-
gagged In prayer for his evening servt-
ces. Mr.. Lambert persuaded the mar
shal 10 walt until after services were
over. and In his custody came 70 the
church TO find his congregation in pray
or for his delivery just "a Paul found

which he disposed OF the case. Much
sympathy was felt for Hon. +. +. Bob

handsome widow refuse To sit 10y him

why his effort was such a miserable
failure. But MIR. Bobbitt says there

lady remarked To him that such an ar
rest would never have taken place any
where on earth except in Crab Orch
ard or Battle Row In Lancaster. Rev.
Lambert comes TO US with the highest
recommendation from West Virginia
aud is calculated 10 upbuild our com
munity. He thanks the christian peo-
pie Of this place for so uobly standing
by him, an utter stranger, feeling that

Not one bit of your scoop is true, and the next time you get an item of like nature it will doubtless pay you to investi- gate. See
 We have been reliably informed that the Cotton Belt is thinking of no such movement, although, come to think of iti, would be very benes ficial to thriving Pine Bluff.

THE ACACIA CLUB
quilted

The Acacia Literary Society" is destined to become one of Pine Bluffs most interesting and instruc- tive organizations. It's object is for mental improvement with musical and social enjoyment. A partial description of the last meet ing may interest some of your read CTS. Promptly at D. m. the mem bers had assembled at the home of Miss Gussie Taggart, the appointed hostess for that afternoon.
 The House being called to or der, each member responded to the roll with aseleetion of poetry fropa Ia faYorite author. The readers are appointed alphabetically, and the first paper read was by Mrs. ". Coleman, on the "Origin and Pro- gress of the English Language It was deep subject and required study and thought to accomplish such thorough particulars.
 The next paper, obligingly read by Mrs. Young for an absent mem Der, was on "The Religion and Poli- tics of England to the 18th Centu- ry." In this was explained the mythologlcal arrangement of the days of the week, the origin of the 'Round Table, also of the "House of Lords" the "House of Commons !" and other interesting and gratify- ing information.
 The third paper was by Miss Will lie Atkinson, on the subject of the Rough Stone and the Bronze Age of England. The condition of the inhabitants and their surroundings, even when that island first separat- ed from the main land, she "Chalk Cliffs, the "Cave Men," with their Rough stone, and afterwards Pol. ished-stone implements of defense, and other unknown or forgotten in formation of those remote ages, were interesting topics.
 Music at intervals by Miss Giles pie and Mrs. Coleman, added in cresed inspiration to the occasion.
 The dignity and presiding ability of Mrs, N. B. Trulock and the pleas ing manner of Miss Taggart, the hostess, are too well known for com ments.
 The Acacia organization is com mendable in every respect, and should be encouraged by husbands. parents and friends-a good exam pie being a perpetual precept, the younger members of our community will be encouraged to cultivate the same taste.
 Literature is d part of the world s History, and in many respects the most important part; for the real life of nation is preserved h its literature The student who is fa- miliar with the personal memoirs, letters, plays and songs of any era, has better knowledge of the char acter and condition of the people,

Then comes Cbas. E. Blaney's big extravaganza success, "A Boy Wanted, which will be the attrac. tion at the opera house Wednesday, December 21. It is conceded to be one of the biggest financial suc- cesses of the past season. IA Boy Wanted" is a farce comedy, bur- iesque extravaganza and vaudeville, and was written by MT. Blaney for the purpose of introducing a host oi pretty girls, clever comedians, tal- ented vocaists, expert dancers aud high-clase vaudeville artists. There is most successful scheme to enter tain an audience-one which should meet with the same big business at our play house as 1t has every place it has played during the past sea- son. There are great many funny situations throughout the play. which are brought out in the bright est possible manner. The witty re- marks and the jokes are all new, the scenery is handsome and in keeping with the play. And with such bright production, together with everything surrounding it being carried complete, the success is guaranteed, as with all of Mr. Blaney's attractions.
