MT. and Mrs. M. B. Russell, who have been here for the past few weeks engaged in their work with the State Sentinel, regarding the political edition which is to be published at an early date, left Thursday for Tahlequah MT. Russell is a writer of note, and has been engaged in special edition work for many years, both in this country as well as the Phillipine Island He stated just before leaving Stigler that the political review of State Sentinel had received more unanimous support of the different candidates than any paper with which he had been connect ed. The edition will bear out the statements of MT. Russell, as he has covered Haskell county and her politi- cal aspirants very close. He has made many friends both among the business men of the town, the professional men, and the different county candidates speak in highest praise of his treat ment. He and Mrs. Russell left Thurs day morning for Tahlequah, where he will engage in the same work in Chero- kee county, that he has in Haskell county. The best wishes of all mem bers of State Sentinel force, as well as their new friends, go with them in their work. State Sentinel, Stigler, (Okla.) )

A May Evening Picnic.

The leading event of the season took place Friday evening, May 3, at the home of Mrs. Sneed. The young ladies of the Twilight Sunday School class entertained their friends. The lawn was beautiful to behold The May pole was prettily decorated in the class colors, pale blue and white. These colors were artistically carried out in all other decorations. The many Japanese lanterns lighted the yard and added great deal to the beauty of the lawn.
 The young people were entertained by new and interesting games. Every one had jolly time and thoroughly enjoyed the evening. The contests were also interesting and amusing.
 One of the most interesting events of the evening was the crowning of the Queen of May. Mrs. Sneed was unanimously voted Queen. She took her seat in the chair prettily decorated for the occasion and was crowned with a wreath of fragrant flowers.
 The girls served light refreshments consisting of dainty sandwiches neatly wrapped in white paper napkins and tied with small bow of blue or white ribbons, cake and glass of frappe.
 Following lunch several more games were played after which all guests de- parted happy and light-hearted, voting the Twilight girls royal entertainers.

HISTORY OF
 CARROLL COUNTY
Compiled by the Goodsspeed Publish ing Go. and Was First Published
 in the Year 1889.
MILITARY RECORD.

Mexican War.-At the opening of the war with Mexico the President called for one regiment from Arkansas, and the governor of the state issued call for ten companies of mounted rifle men, to be accepted in the order in which their services were offered to the state. In due course of time the governors proclamation reached Car roll County, and with characteristic promptness a company was organized, equipped and mounted at Carrollton One Gregory was then dispatched post haste to Little Rock with the muster roll of the company, to secure it place in the regiment. He was just too late; the regiment was full, and the Carroll county company was obliged to satisfy its military aspirations by the ma neuvers necessary to disbanding.
 The Old Militia. In ante bellum days there were two battalion ~and four company musters every year, the for mer at Carrollton and Crooked Creek (Stroud,s store, now in Boone county), the latter in the respective townships. These occasions were largely attended, the battalion musters particularly. The only instance in which the militia of this county was called out occurred early in ''the fifties" Marion county became involved in fight between the 
 militia of the adjoining counties was called out to quell the disturbance. Carroll furnished two companies, under Co.'s. Tilford Denton and William c. Mitchell, the former from Carrollton It was in the autumn that this occurred, and the companies were gone about six weeks.

THE CIVIL WAR.

Public sentiment at the opening of the civil war was almost unanimously opposed to secession. The number of slaves and shareholders in the county was not large; the people were almost entirely of Eastern Tennessee descent, and inherited the ardent patriotism that has distinguished that section. When the time came to elect repre- sentatives to the secession convention. Dr. Dion and E. c. Mitchell appe. ed as secession candidates, and ". W. Watkins and B. H. Hobbs as Union candidates. The former received but thirty-six votes in total poll of 1,500. The convention was earnestly desirous of taking a neutral position, and unit ing with the other border states in an effort to effect a compromise. It soon became apparent, however that this was impossible, and the call of Presi- dent Lincoln for troops from Arkansas forced the issue. The delegates from Carroll met their constituents in mass meetings, and, finding that there was but little disposition to take up arms against the section to which they naturally belonged, cast their votes for the secession ordinance, which passed with but single dissenting voice,
 Home Guards. Four companies of home guards were organized in what is now Carroll county, to repel tie threat ened invasion of the state by Gen. Lyon. H. B. Fancher was captian of the company recruited "Up-Osage, /" Capt. J. M. Pittman's company was formed at Carrollton; Capt. John Dennys and Leander Hayhurst's com panies at Berryville. The four com panies proceeded individually to Camp Walker, Benton county, and with seven others from different parts of the state were organized into the Fourth Arkan- sas Infantry Regiment, under the com mand of Col, ]. D. Walker, forming part of Gen. Pierce's brigade. Mai Gen. Ben. McCulloch was in command. The enemy was met at Wilson's Creek, near Springfield, Mo-, August 10, 1861, and defeated with severe loss. The Fourth Arkansas Infantry was station ed upon a hill across the creek from the principal fighting, supporting Capt. Reeds battery, and took no active part in the battle It suffered no loss. Within few days the regi- ment returned to Benton county and was disbanded, after a term of service of less than two months.
