We were Informed by gentleman
this week. who had just come down
from Carmel, Ark, that DIR. S. A.
Scott, of that place, who owns a
plantation of over four hundred acres
of land, that when the engineering
corps of the Texas & Pacific railroad,
or Gould syndicate. reached his place,
that be spent two or three days with
them, and that be made an offer to
them, which they are to report TO the
head officials. that if the road was
built and came through his lands,
which includes the little village of
Carmel, he would give the road the
right of way, ground for side tracks,
ground for depot. and would lay off
the place in lots for town and give
the railroad company every other lot
to build their round house and shops
at this place. Carmel is five miles
west of Cariola, Ark. and lies just at
the foot OF the high lands, has five
stores and is building up quite rapidly.
This is a big inducement, and if the
road is built, which is said to be
certainty, such proposition will be
considered with much favor. lfsuch
thing as car shops aud round house lie
to be built sin this division" by the
contemplated road, our progressive
citizens should keep their weather eye
open and see that when the road is
built that our town 10 not left out, and
that if it takes tax and money even
TO induce them to place their shops
here, that 1t will be done. 1t is
long time off yet, but we just mention
this to show to our citizens that other
places are awake and working for
such things as these that go long way
in boosting the town that is. lucky
enough to get them.

Prison Sunday.

The observation Of Prison Sun
day by the churches of our land is
had with increasing interest each
year. Indiana is sharing in this.
Her work in prison reform and the
steps she has taken for the proven
ton Of pauperism and crime lead US
to expect that. Last year hundreds
Of churches in this State observed
the day that has been designated
Prison Sunday, the last Sunday in
October. On it, consideration was
given to those things which lead to
crime, as we'll as to the effects OF
crime; to criminals and their treat
ment; to efforts at reforming the
offender and measures for the pre-
vention Of crime. In these and kin
dred topics our people are deeply
interested. This year Prison Sun
day is October 9th. Several Of the
district and State meetings Of differ
ent denominations have adopted
resolutions requesting their minis
ters to observe the day. The result
will be many other churches will
take part in the observance. All
those who contemplate doing SO are
to write the Board OF
State Charities, Indianapolis.
