ling elder of the Batesyille district
nd A. r. Winfield was sent to the
ateSville station.
We met DR.. Hunter in 1889 and
e said when he was presiding eld-
,'r of the Batesville district all the
vest part Of what is now Sharp
',tounty, including Evening Shade
and vicinity, was in the bounds of
,the Salem mission, and services
were held on Saturdays only. DR..
Hunter had forgotten the name OF
! the preacher who had this work.
The new recruits were all sent to
the southern part of the state except
j. H. Rice, who Travelled and preach
ed in the northern section, filling the
Batesville station in 1888, and
during the latter year was married
to Miss Fannie Denton of Batesville,
He continued his labor in this sec
ton until 1868, when he entered the
Confederate army, being appointed
chaplain of Col. Robt. G. Shaver's
regiment. In 1854 while returning
to Batesville to see after his two lit
tie, motherless children he was met
in independence county by a
scout who shot his horse from
under him. Rev. Rice tried to sur
render, but was told that he had to
die, and while on his knees praying
he was shot twice through the head
We are glad to say that this scout
did not belong to the regular army
but to the scallawags,
Rev. McAllister did efficient work
as a teacher for many years in this
state. The name Of Rev. Winfield
for years was a household word in
hundreds of home. He was promi-
nently connected with every enter
prise of the church and was doubt
less more widely known than
any Methodist in the state. He
was editor-in-chief Of the Arkansas
Methodist a number Of years before
bis death.

/ LIVERPOOL. May 3.-Wheat: There
was good support at the opening, with
some covering by shorts in the near
months, and values were rs TO IL
higher. This strength was induced by
firmness in America and the closing
! strength in Buenos Aires. Later and
during the morning there was free re-
alizing by weak holders and prices de-
clined "a to q with the principal weak
ness in July. There was less inquiry
I for cargoes, with Australian offerings
freer at slight decline. The weather
! in the United Kingdom was fine, and
reports from Argentine and Russia
were favorable, with Russian offers
/ liberal on the advance and reports
/ from there that arrivals at the ports
are large and interior stocks heavy.
Private houses here are predicting lib
eral shipments from Argentine this
week. At 1870 p. m. the market was
weak, a to Il lower than yesterday.

HACK" WILL SAIL FOR
U. S. SHORES AUG. 9

George Hackenschmidt will sail from
Southampton. England, tomorrow for
the United States to meet Champion
Frank Gotch for the wrestling cham
pionship on Sept. at Comiskey ball
park. He will be accompanied by DR.
Roller. who is chief trainer of the Rus
slams camp, Johan Koch, a German
wrestler and strong man, a Russian
masseur. and German chef. Hack
will sail on the Olympic.
While on the voyage across the
ocean Hack will train daily in the
gymnasium on the steamship. He also
will be able to take his daily plunge in
sea water in the tank aboard ship.
Manager Curley last night received
a letter from Roller announcing the
details of the trip. Never saw a man
have so much endurance and strength"
wrote Roller. He weighed 235 pounds
today. The Gotch people will stare
when they see how hard Hack looks"
If encouraging reports are received
from the Hack camp, Manager Klank
is not to be oGtdone in the eSploita-
tion of his big Iowa charge. "Gotch
never looked in better condition"
writes Klank. He could whip three
Hacks all in the same ring. He IS so
anxious to get into the ring that he
has to be reminded at times to put on
the brakes in his training"
