The Ciioctaw Railroad Company has gently made some very liberal COL = .ssions to timber men in St. Francis b,ttom in regard to log trains. Tie timbeimen appreciate the thoughtful ness of ,he company, and should and will, no doubt, readily and faithfully comply with the slipulatiOns; and the railroad will receive greatly increased business thereby. But timbermeb still complain that they are greatly iapdi- cipped and seriously inconvenienctd b cause the company does net stop al least one of it's passenger trains each way every day at all of the sidines We feel sure that if the matter is prol l, erly laid before the company's officials they will arrange to still further a6 . commodate and facilitate the rapidl, growing industry of that wonderfully fertile region. The railroad company has il in it's power to advance or retard tae activity in St. Francis bottom. It i to the interest of the railroad to ad- ytnce 1t, because it will sooner or later furnish an immense amount of busi niss. The request for greater facili. ties is reasonable, and we have no doubt the company will grant any taing which is reasonable.

Marriage ;n High Colored Circles.

The circulation of an elegant invitation a couple Of weeks ago, announcing the marriage of Christena Hendricks, niece of Peter Coyngton and wife, of Madison, to Howard Williams. of Texas, on Sunday November II, 1900, at the Spring Creek Baptist church. created quite a furry among the colored folks and at the ap- pointed time the little church on the hill WIS crowded to it's utmost capacity by b,ih white and colored friends of the contracting parties.
 The church was tastefully draped in egergreens and flowers, and beautiful arch of evergreens and white flowers fFonted the altar from the center of which hung a large bell, composed of flowers, with two long white ribbons attached thereta. The back of the altar was dgaped with handsome lace curtains The church was darkened and lighted by chandeliers.
 At little beyond the time appointed the bridal party appeared, and entered the church in the following order, while t.e organ presided over by Stella Duncan, Of Little Rock, poured forth delightful wedding march:
 First. the ushers, Engene Pryor and Theo Bond. Then the four flower girls Henrietta Davis, Beatrice Coyingtop, Anna Hendricks and Fanny Dickerson- who scattered sweet yiolets in the path way of The bridal party, who came in the foloGing order:
 The groom and Clara F. Blackwell the bride and her cousin, Walter Coying- ton John Williams and Elisa Hayden John Strickland and Mary Banks. On approaching the altar the bride and groom stood under the arch. with the maid of honor and best man on either side. Rev. l.. F. Ayant then approached and solemn ized the marriage.
 As the bridesmaid stepped forward to remove the veil from the face of the bluShing bride, to allow the groom to salute her, the subdued light from the gayly decorated chandelier cast halo around them, as an omen of happiness, making a picture worth the pencil of an artist.
 After the ceremony the bride and groom and Il few friends repaired to the home Of Pat Banks, where collation. awaited them.
 The bride is niece of Peter Coyington, a well-to do colored planter, and is in every way fitted 10 make a loving aud helpful companion for the mau she has chosen Howard Williams. the groom.

THIS is STRANGE.
Same Train Meets With Bad Luck on
Every Trip.

Atlantic City, n. j., Aug. 20.--(Spl.)--
A strange fatality appears to follow
the Pennsylvania Express leaving this
city at 10 o'clock p. IN. Last Friday
night this train, known on week days
as No. As, narrowly escaped destruction
mt the hands of train wreckers. Last
night the same train, run as no $50 on
Sunday, met with an unlocked for nc
cideut at nearly the same spot on the
meadows, where No. 4S ran into pile
of ties Friday night. The express train
last left Atlantic City promptly on
time. 1t consisted of baggage car, ten
coaches and two parlor cars. All the
cars were crowded with eNcursionists
returning home and there We're nearly
500 people aboard the train. The eX-
press had Just crossed the draw bridge
spanning the thoroughfare at the west
ern end OF the city when the passcn-
gers In the fifth and sixth coaches
We're alarmed by the cars running or
the track The train was rapidly in
creasing its speed at this point and the
ioltng of these two cosches over the
ties caused the greatest CONSERVATION.
After running in this manner fer
some yards, the trucks again mounted
the rails, but minute later they were
again ploughing their way over the
ties through the ballast and started to-
ward Philadelphia on the south bound
track. At this junction Engineer
Holmes realized that something was
wrong with the tram, and promptly ap-
plying he air brakes he brought 1t to
stop.
Had the train continued without its
rate of speed being checked 1t would
have gone over an embankment into
the marsh. The passengers in the de-
rallied coaches were badly shaken uo.

for this action are the lack of apprecia-

take advantage of it 10 continue their
resistance to the British and the con
tinual breaking of the oath of neutral.

Useful Improvement In
Building Blocks.
Grocers Were Unable to

Mcnamara.
Especial Correspon dence.)

Bsrberton. Aug. 2o.Mr. VIM. A.
Johnston and O. G.. Barber have been
granted a patent on new and useful
Improvement in building blocks.
The invention is an improvement in
masonry, more particularly in what
is known as building blocks
One object of the invention Is to
provide building blocks of uniform
walls of varying dimensions, the
blocks being so designed that they
may interlock at the varying adjust
ments to insure strength and rigidity.
A further object of the invention is
! TO produce building blocks in which
surfaces of the walls are uniform and
in which the faces of the blocks are of
equal size
The blocks will form hollow wall
of great strength, which will prove to
a great degree, impervious to heat,
cold or moisture, and in which the air
space can he used for water, gas and
soil pipes, or for electric wiring.
The invention is very valuable one,
and II is probable that factory will be
erected here to manufacture the
blocks.
