Des Arc News.

We are having fine weather. Farm
ers are sowing oats and planting
potatoes.
F. F. Farr has returned from the
West. Sold his claim, so l under
stand.
l was at Harviell, Greenville, and
out on Nc. s. S. Business picking
up over there. Called on M. L. Cope
land. He has a big stock of goods,
farming implements, etc. | saw more
plows at his store than I ever saw at
one place. He seems to be busy all
the time. Sells by wholesale to saw
mill stores, / also met Brother Fred
Geitz and wife. They we're returning
from Bunker where they organized a
N%azarene Church. They are fine
singers and church workers. They
have several solicitations to assist in
meetings this summer. Rev. VIM.
Seals is pastor of the Ellington church.
He is a good preacher.
While at H~endrickson, l called on
Harwell & Harwel, merchants there.
They are selling lots of goods; mostly
cash. They tell me they average one
hundred dollars per day. Nicely Har-
we'll was formerly from Des Arc. /
took supper with him. He has just
completed a new house; the painters
we're finishing it up when I was there.
1 shall call on d. F. Stevenson at
Taskee who has opened a big store
and saw mill there.
Mrs. M. A. Polvis is visiting friends
in Piedmont and Patterson,
Sorry to hear of the death of DR..
Holmes. He will be missed very
much by the Sunday Schools and
Churches of Piedmont. They can
hardly get along without him. He
was also a fine business man.
While at Piedmont I met my old
friend, Jim Bowers. He is bookkeep-
er for 8. A. Lee and he told me he
will be a candidate to succeed himself
in the next Legislature. He will make
a good race for he has been there
before and everybody knows him.
Miss Allie Fitz is visiting in Poplar
Bluff and also her brother, WI Fitz,
at Lilbourn, Mo.
VIM. Pole has opened up his new
store. He also has built a nice little
home.
We were glad to hear of the great
revival by Burk and Hobbs, While
we were only there a few times, we
are glad that SO many stood up for
Christ and promised God that they
would lead q better life. Religion is
a business transaction between a man
and his God. 1t is a debt he owes to
his maker and the only way you can
pay it is to live right; and if you live
right you will die right. So stand up
for Jesus. You may fall down and
get weak but rise, again; don't give
up.
9. M. Stevenson is doing quite a
land business down in this section.
He has sold IA farms in the last six
months and has several more on the
string. The total amount these farms
brought was fourteen thousand and
fifty seven dollars. ISAAC.

The Harvest Festival

The Harvest Festival of the M. E. Sun
day School, held last Saturday, was sue
cessful beyond all expectations. The
attendance was large, there being fifty
nine people on the grounds, all ages be-
| ing represented, but under twenty years
| predominating. Ample transportation
| facilities were provided by o. A. Barrows
and w. R. Collins, and the ride was a
feature that was much appreciated by all
The grounds were ideal, being dry, well
carpeted with a rich growth of pasture
grass, free from weeds, stones and sticks
with plenty of shade or sunshine as de-
sired.
Reaching the grounds p little before
noon, the Harvest dinner was soon laid.
upon % spacious table that had been pro-
vided by Mr.. Collins, and the tempting
array of pumpkin pies and other fancy
dishes, gave all a good appetite for dinner.
Immediately after dinner the Ring Game
and Bowling Alley, originated and built
by W. R. Collins especially for this &C.
company for two hours, their popularity
being attested by the reluctance of all
to respond to the call for the Sports at
three O'Clock.
The leading featured the Sports was
the running race for girls, IA years and
older, which was "fercely contested,
Miss Ruby Barrows being the winner by
a narrow margin, Miss Hart was close
second, MissNatalie French was distanced.
Considering the ages and height of all
contestants in the races, Annie Crosby,
was by far the fleetest runner of the day,
she being winner of the 10 to IA class.
Although the day was cool, the sun
shone its brightest, and the event was
enjoyed and pronounced a
success by every one present. The next |
