well liked and respected as a good Chris
tan woman. Deceased was the daughter
of Hosia and Eliza Plummer Welch. She
was twice married. her first husband be-
ing Lewis keenan,, whose death occurred
while working in the western states
many years ago. Her marriage TO Mr..
Caldwell took place in May, 1852, since
which time they have resided in Tops
ham. She is survived by her husband
and five children Ernest Keenan, of ST.

first marriage, Eber Caldwell of st.

shown by the following story told by
DR.. Harvey w Wiley:
ut was Saturday afternoon in one
OF the interior counties of Arkansas.
Hundreds of vehicles of oil sorts
drawn by mules. most of which were
in good condition, were picketed
around the public square. The great
department store, which my guide
owned, was filed with colored people.
They were buying most literally and
were extremely well-dressed and we'll
behaved. was struck with their APP
pearance and prosperity and happi-
ness, and was curious to know why
1t was that these people seemed so
much better of than those had seen
In other localities. / asked the pro-
prietOr, who was freely giving credit
to his customers, IL he did not lose on
many accounts. He replied: Never
one How do you account for their
prosperity l asked. Strictly en-
forced prohibition was his answer.
If we were to permit the saloon to
come into this county again, 1t would
wreck our prosperity; it would ruin
my business and send this town back

The farmers Of the Belyidere com.

into the pure-bred beef cattle business.
The farmers in this community are
recognized as among the foremost of
the state. AS one rides through this
section their well-kept farms, with the
broad acres of clover and alfalfa, speak
for themselves. Their history is very
interesting. In less than thirty years
they have redeemed valley that had
been given over to sedge grass and sas-
