Around About.

Matrimony is rapidly coming to the front about Wilmar. A we'd ding last week. another next week, and several more to follow.
 On last Wednesday evening at s o'clock, in the hall of the school building at Wilmar, in the pres ence of several hundred people, we witnessed one of the most beauti- ful weddings we have seen in good while. The contracting par ties stood high in these parts. Rev. l. w. Mccain was raised in Tenn. and came of good stock. He is a cultured, refined. Christian gentle man. He is pastor of Saline A. k. r. church at Allis, and would adorn any church or ministry gracefully. Miss Lula Connerly is a native of Mississippi. She Is a most excellent young lady and en- joys the confidence of all who know her. We feel that both par ties to this contract are to be con- graduated. The knot was tied by Rev. T. o. Rorie, assisted by Rev. ]. L. Young. of Monticello. This bright young couple have a bright future before them and we conf- dently expect for them to do well.
 There was a fine crowd at the camp ground last Sabbath. John Hoover, Miss Lizzie Hoover, Miss Lizzie Baxter, Miss Jessie Far bridge and C. r. Coker contribut- ed to the cause. At 3 p. m. Miss Jennie Hall was baptized by inn mersiop.
 Protracted meeting began at Wilmar Sunday night.
 The 4th Quarterly Conference for the Mt. Pleasant charge will be held at Rock Springs on the first Saturday and Sabbath in Oct. This meeting being the last for the year, will be full of interest. Ev- erythingis moving on finely in the circuit and the reports at this meet ing will be especially interesting Rev. K. Cason will do the preaching.

THE political pot, called by old-timers a caldron, is begin ming to boil and bubble. The candidates for United States Senator have, already, began to make the welkin ring from stump and rostrum, and the lesser lights are peeping from their secret places and extending the friendly "how-de-do" hand to the important voter (and all voters are important to the candidate) while the placid and serene smile takes it's accustom- ed place around and about the mouth.

William Mckinley, breathed his last, at Buffallo, New York. as the re suit of the wound inflicted by the assassin Leon Czolgosz, on Friday evening of the week be. fore. In the sad death of the President the whole nation mourns, for besides being a good officer and one who had the in terest of his people at heart, he was a pure and upright man. His loss to the American peo- pie is sad one, indeed, and the grief of the nation is more uni versal than ever before in it's en- tire history. To his noble and afflicted wife. "who mourns for him in her widowed home the true and genuine sympathies of the people. from every section of this land, are extended.

Barkada Notes.

Barkada has resumed the usual quiet of the woods since the color- ed folks, protracted meeting is over. They fairly made the "welkin ring for three weeks, and night was made hideous by their un- earthly yells, perhaps ought to say melodious; but it didn strike me that way.
 Quite a number of our people have made short summer tours from one county to the other.
 MT. ILL. Rhodes and family are visiting in Lincoln county.
 Mir. Robert Wright and wife and Mrs R. 5. Anderson and Miss Fife Cornish are in Calhoun Go.
 MT. Wilson Wright is now in Palestine Texas visiting his fami- y. We will be sorry, indeed, to have them move from our neigh, borhood, as we have heard they contemplate doing.
 Misses Lula Hearn and Inez Barker left on last Saturday. The former to take her position, as teacher in the Ouachita Academy, located at Magazine, Logan coun- ty; and the latter to visit her sister in Jonesboro.
 Mrs. R. s. Anderson gave an entertainment to Miss Inez Barker

On motion, follow ing committee Was appointed to draft suitable resolutions for the occasion, C. T. Gotham, I. R. Gotham, W. F. Slemons, W. A. and z. T. Wood
 Whereupon. said committee re- ported the following resolutions, which were on motion adopted unanimously as a whole
 Whereas, the worst fears of the American people, inspired by the murderous attack upon the Presi- dent on Friday of last week. have been realized by the sad announce ment today that Mckinley is dead,
 And, whereas, the fatal shot fir ed by the damnable and traitorous Czolgosz was aimed not at the breast of William Mckinley, but was intended as death blow to our free institutions and our repub- lican form of government.
 And, whereas, William McKin- ley, rising above a petty patisan- ship and seetionalism, has proven himself to be the President of the whole people, and has endeared himself to the south by his success full efforts to heal the wounds of civil strife, and has known no north and south in his recognition of American valor, and has de- lighted to honor many of the south's military heroes who served under the Stars and Bars,
 RESOLUTIONS.
 Therefore De t resolred;
 First. That we join with our fellow citizens of the north, south, east and west, in deploring the calamity which has befallen our common country in the assassina- tion of our President, William Me Kinley.
 Second, That we urge upon congress the necessity of taking some steps for the better protec- ton of our Chief Executive from the treacherous assaults of such as- sassins as Czolgosz, and for the suppression of anarchy in whatev- CT form it may show its head, and to better subserve this end that more stringent immigration laws be passed to exclude from this land of liberty. but not of license, all foreigners whose creed is mur- der or the subversion of free gov ernment.
 Third, That our heartfelt sym  pathies go out to the lonely widow. who has so faithfully watched by the bedside of her distinguished husband. and we assure her that her loss is the nations loss, and

THE IOWA CENTRAL.
Work of Improvement to Go
Steadily On.

General Manager Day says the Iowa
Central was to ne improved, and i'm
proved ontinually until it was rail
road in every sense of the word, and
that no changes in any line, in the
present system of management, were
under contemplation The road is to
be run Independently of any other,
even the M. & St. L., with which,
however, it will continue to have
close traffic arrangement.
In anticipation of and in prepare
ton for the vast amount of work that
is to be done next year Mr.. Wing the
purchasing agent, has just closed
contract with theT. j! Moss Tie Com
pany, of st. Louis, Mo, for the pur-
chasing Of 1913, 900 oak ties, all to be
delivered to the Central by Jan. 81,
1902 The ties are to be used in the
laying of heavier STEEL next year and
will be on hand here in plenty of time
30 that they may be distributed as
early as possible to all points on the
line, to be ready for the work which
will begin as soon as the frost leaves
the ground. This il the second extra
large enstallmeat of ties purchased
by the Central within the past year,
$4,000 having been bought just about
a year ago, and 20, 900 more since that
time. The present invoice is Of Ten
nessee oak, cut in the mountains of
the northern and western portions of
the state The ties will cost the COM
pany 500 900.
General Manager Day has author
lied Mr.. Wing to purchase $50 new
stock cars instead of 100, as was at
first intended The specifications for
the cars have notyet been completed
by Master Mechanic Brooke, but will
be soon, employees of the car shops
being now engaged in building a
sample car. The new stock cars will
differ somewhat from the. ordinary
cars for the transportation of stock
although not materially. At any rate
they will be the best that can be con
ceived, 10000 pounds capacity, and
35 feet in length. 1t is the intention
to make them as easy a riding car as
possible, and with this in view each
will be equipped with swing motion
trucks instead of those known as
rigid trucks. This will be done to
make it easier on stock while in
transit
