The mattes has aroused much discussion in and about town during the past thirty days, and in some instances things have been said on both sides which might better have been left unsaid, but it is to be hoped that the fairness of the final count has wiped out all bitterness. -Harrison Times.

A Mrs. Smith accompanied by her two small children arrived in this city from Harrison, last in destitute circumstances and has since been cared for by charitable citizens of this city. She was formerly a resident of Searcy county, where her husband was employed in the mines, but who died there last fall. Here is an excellent opportunity for some of our warm hearted people to apply the text: "I was a stranger and ye took me in." In addition to this case there are a number of our own residents who are in dire need of food, fuel and clothing and should be cared for by the people at large so as not to throw the entire burden upon neighbors who are in but little better circumstances. There is no necessity of a call for state and national aid as in less favored districts, but each should contribute proportionately to his means in tiding these unfortunates over the winter season.

Marshall is to have a telephone exchange within the next ninety days. The J. L. Reich Telephone Co. has been granted a 25 years franchise by the city council, and work will be commenced at an early date.

and Mrs. R. W. Perry of George's Creek, was born in Marion County September 3, 1883, and died at her home Jan. 20, 1902.

'Age 18 years 4 months and 17 days. She was converted and joined the Methodist Church when but a child. She lived a consistant christian life and died in the triumphs. of a living faith in God. She was a very obedient child, a loving sister, and kind play-mate and friend.

All who had the good fortune to know her, loved her. Those who knew her best, loved her most. She was just bloomling into beautiful young womanhood, and promised to be the "fairest and best of all;" but the Heavenly Father sought her for one of the flowers of Heaven and thus the angels plucked it and transplanted it in the fragrant garden of the Heavenly Eden. There the beautiful rose-tint of youth shall never fade from her cheek and blighting wintery winds shall never come. She was the youngest child of the family, therefore became the idle of the father, mother, brothers, and sisters.

She was the only child at home, all the others haying married and gone into homes of their own. It will indeed be a lonely time for the father and mother; but knowing as we do that our dear Eddie has gone to rest, let us say: "The Lord gave and the Lord bath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord." The writer conducted the funeral and we laid her remains to rest in the George's Creek cemetery. Many friends and neighbors were there and shed many tears over the casket in which her body slept. May God's grace attend the sorrowing ones through this trying ordeal. "Go, spirit of the sainted dead, Go to thy longed for, happy home." The tears of man are o'er thee shed; The voice of Angels bids thee come." Jan.

28, 1902. LEE BEARDEN, Notice to Miners. Few know it, but the fact is, parties mining, contemplating the purchase of machinery of all kinds from a bolt to a 100 ton mill may purchase same, good as new at low prices through E. W. McNEAL, Galena, Kans.

Kingdon Items. Plenty of ice in these parts but not quite thick enough for storage. Business somewhat dull here at present, on account of the blizzard staying with us so long. The epidemic of sickness in kingdon is about to subside and leave us all well again. As soon as fair weather opens up, Kingdon will begin to boom, as there are several new buildings under construction and contemplation.

We forgot, in our haste, to mention the various other business ventures under consideration, and the barber shop we now have. Our genial townsman and carpenter, Bro. T. G. Utley, has a new dwelling under construction, which he intends to occupy.

We welcome Bro. Utley to our growing city, as he is an efficient mechanic and capable of erecting almost, if not all kinds of buildings, and seems to be very reasonable in his charges and tries to give satisfaction. May he stay with us always. We learn from seemingly reliable source that we are to have a P. O.

here sure enough, then, with the P. O. and telephone, there will be nothing to keep us from putting on city airs -see. With a lumber factory, turning out all kinds of building material, and turning factory combined, two hoisters for lifting mineral out of old mother earth, an electric light plant, a telephone system, post office, a dry goods, grocery and drug store combined. A blacksmith shop and a few loafers, whycan't we call ourselves a city? Estray Notice.
