Mr.. Robb tells us he expects to be
a candidate for congress next
year. He represented his district
in congress several terms and

fluential member. He is q strong

ity, is his integrity and trust
worthiness as a man.-Jackson

Rev. Strother was here from
Des Arc last week and reports all
things working smoothly at the
Holiness College, with a prospect
of q decided increase in the number
of students for the remainder Of
the year. The new music hall is
ready for occupancy and a number
of residences have been finished
the past two months. Stevenson
Bros. have just removed into a
brand new store house in College
town and many more buildings
are expected to be put under way
soon. College town, not yet three
years old, has spent over $4,000
in improvements exclusive of the
school building. A fine showing
that and cause for congratulation

denoed by recent election. In
conclusion, please permit me to
wish you a most happy Christmas
and for you and yours a very
prosperous New Year, and may
you be spared for many years yet
to hit the heads Of the scheming
politicians in Missouri with that
most effective club, the REGISTER"
