leading member of that church was
in our town one day last week only
a few minutes, aud got $500 and
our town will give more yet. That
is good showing for little cot.
ton mill town, whom 1T is made
known that the Same Little town
has jnst completed 81 500 houso
of worship of its own.
Rev. Trammel will preach at
Old Plckens the third Sunday in
May at o'clock p. m Let every
body that can go to hear him.
The report is that n certain man
of means in our section is soon to
build large store room near Camp
Creek church and will ask for a
share of the peoples trade. Look
out Messrs. Sanders & Lark, you
are soon to have a competitor from
Pea Ridge. Methinks 1 hear your
hearts beating.
Pea Ridge also thought she was
going to have a candidate for
County Commissioner, but as every.
thing is not granulated sugar that
looks white, we don't know whelh-
er he will bud or not.
Mr.. j. F. Williams says he will
not be candidate for Sheriff this
time, but don't say he never Will
be an applicant to tie hangman' S
knot legally.
We need good County Commits,
sloner in this part of the county,
one that Will discharge his duty
fearlessly and not be ruled by any
man or men, one that will have no
pets, and work for the interest of
the county. We have man IN
view that we believe will do that,
one that hasn't got single charac-
terlstlc about him, gentleman
and chlstian in every respect. The
writer has lived by him for seven
years and has watched him. II"
has served his county as Il grand
juror for the past year and is now
one of that honorable number.
That man is ID. l.. Kay. We don't
know whether Mr.. Kay would offer
for the Office or not, as we have
never mentioned the matter to him,
but we hope he may decide to serve
his county in that capacity.
Mr.. w. F, Broughton was plant
ing cotton seed last week and pick
ing out his last years cotton all at
the same time. Who can beat that
"Uncle Billy" keeps "bachelor's

If all signs don't fail in dry
weather we are told the wedding
bells will ring near by soon. We
hope the contracting parties will
not forget that b. likes cake as
we'll as "slicks," and would not
object to some of both.
Now that the blushipg sex are
preparing the lawn, the muslin,
the pelerines, resetting the frilIs,
dying ribbons and twlning the
flowers over on their hats and using
all kinds Of lace and insertion, from
the width of shoe string to that
OF back band, we were made to
believe that something was up; 50
we studied out plan to find out,
and at once conceived the idea Of
"cave dropping" couple that
were at work over hauling an old
dress that looked to be the one
that Eve must to have had on when
the Lord made her leave the gar
den with Adam. This is what we
heard: "Now S., you can 20 with
j next Sunday to Six Mile, if you
want to, with them old breaches
on and them old run down shoes of
hisen, but if II. don't get him a
new suit and new lat, marry
time am going with him. lie
amt took up all that lien, and /
know he can get a new suit. We
have got nearly a barrel Of flour
and about all that dollars worth
of meat he bought tother day; the
COW will soon be giving milk, and
] think we can get along splendid
till black berries come in" That
was enough; we crawled away he.
