don't think that that bass viol ever did better service than it did stwenty years later during the pastorate of Rev. Wm. O. Walker and when MT. Preston was at his best. I was then living at the Merriok homestead and a constant attendant at church. The pastorate of Pastor Walker was from 1850 to 1857 during the Maine law campaign, and MT. Preston was not in full sympathy with the pastor and would some times speak out in meet ing, and one such an instance I recall. MT. Walker was very much in earnest and took an active part in carrying forward the movement, and one Sun. day he spoke his own views very plainly and to the point, and MT. Preston spoke right out ''That is your opinion," direct from the gallery. Pastor Walker seemed little flushed, but that was all. In 1857 the Will lington Thread company sold out their business to the Willimantic Thread company and with that began the breaking up of the famous old choir and orchestra and the civil war fol- lowing soon after completed the work. Many of the best singers moved away. There was regular stampede to get away and will plead guilty, as I fol- lowed very soon after. It was just at this juncture that a move was made to buy for the church . piano cased melodeon which was soon done and Miss Anna Taylor returned from Monson where she had been teaching for several years and soon married Dr. Brown and with the aid of her moth. CT for a number of years took the dir. ection of the music and right then the bass viol was lost sight of and cannot be found. Right here seems to be several years from 1866 to 1876 or when the church was renovated that no orchestra was used. I very much question whether after fifty years any one will recall what was done with that bass viol. I would advise to ask Josiah Sparks to put on his thinking cap and search his mem. ory, for if any one can recall that time he is that one.

Mathis For Representative.

In the proper column of this paper appears the announcement of Ross Mathis, candidate for re- presentative. In commenting this young man to the Democra- tic voters of Woodruff County, we feel that we can do so advis- edly. MT. Mathis is a young man and young lawyer, and a credi- table example of home produc- tion, having lived in Woodruff county since his birth twenty-five years ago, and having been edu- cated in the common schools of his county. By his own efforts he has fitted himself for the practice of law, and although he was admitted to the bar only one or two years ago, he has already manifested those characteristics and attainments that mark him as one of the coming lawyers of Eastern Arkansas. He is an easy, graceful and forceful speak CT, is familiar with the civic and economic questions of the hour, and with the needs of the people of his county and state. As your representative, we believe he would serve with honor to him. self and with credit to the county and that he would at all times be alive to the interests of his con- stituents.
 Ross has a host of friends all over the county who are predict ing his selection by the people of the county by a large majority. We believe that should he be e. lected, he will justify the conf- dence his friends feel of his abil- ity, and that the people he repre- sents will have no cause to regret sending him to Little Rock.

Hutchins who was at that time principal.
 The subject of this sketch is widely and favorably known over the Southern District of the county where his modesty and tact have always made him friends. He is thorough, exact and correct in all he does and, If elected, will make us a courteous and efficient treasurer. The best wishes and votes of his friends and neighbors go, with him in this race. At home he is termed JOUR Roy" and his people feel deep interest in his being the successful candidate in the above race.
 As we said m the beglnnlng, we take pleasure in announcing the candidacy of this deserving young man and we ask that be- fore casting your vote on March 29, to please consider carefully the claims of this gentleman who will greatly appreciate your support.
