RELIGIOUS AWAKENING.
Methodist Meeting at ionesfaoro
Arousing City—Many Con
versions Result.
Jonesboro, Nov. 14.—The re
vival at the First Methodist
church h;-.s started on its sixth
week. Rev. Mr. McIntosh is
conducting the meeting. Men,
women and children who have
not attended church in years
have joined and become zealous
workers.
. At the morning service Sunday
the pastor, Rev. Fred Little,
preached, and just before the,
sermon received a class of 25 j
into the church, and at the night;
service a class of 14. At the j
meeting in the afternoon, for
men only, the entire auditorium
and gallery were packed with
men and boys, and a large num
ber of chairs had been placed in
the aisles. At the close of the
sermon fully one hundred came
forward for prayer, and 23 per
sons were converted. At the;
night service the house was
packed, and many turned away.
At the sarhe hour there was
preaching in all the other
churches of the city, and it is
estimated that more people at- j
tended church in Jonesboro Sun
day night than ever before at
any one time. At the night ser
vice 29 were converted, and
great numbers came forward for
prayer.
BIT INTO BIG PEARL.
Profitable Experience of a Hot
Springs Policeman in a Lunch
Room.
Hot Springs, Nov. 14. —When
Patrolman James Medloek drop
ped into a lunch room in the
rear of Joe Mazzia’s saloon last
night for a lunch of fried oysters
he became highly indignant
when he bit a hard substance in i
one of the bivalves with such
force as to nearly dislocate his
jaw, as he thought the cook was
trying to play a practical joke on
him.
His anger was soothed when,
upon the advice of a friend, he
took the “jaw breaker” to a
jeweler and found that it was
worth $500.
It proved, after fragments of
oyster were cleaned away, to be
a peari without flaw and of un
usual size. It -was apparently
uninjured by having been fried
in the oyster.
$100 Reward, $100.
The readers of this paper will
be pleased to learn that there is
at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only
positive remedy now known to
the med-ical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease,re
quires a constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surface of
the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease,and
giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative pow
ers that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of testi
monials. Address

ROBINSON CIRCUS WRECKED.
Two Cars Ditched and Wiki Animals
Escape Spreading Terror
Among Natives.
Arkansas City, Nov. 14. Two
cars of the fourth section of John
Robinson’s circus w’ere ditched
near Norfleet, Ark., on a -harp
curve. The train was running
slow, otherwise the entire MG*
tion would have been destroy L
One cage contained the bi '■ ng
lioness “Sultana” and four Mbs.
She escaped to the pines and her
roaring frightened the natives.
It was answered by another
animal far back. Another cage
wrecked contained ten huge
snakes of the python, anaconda
and boa constrictor varieties, all
over twenty feet in length.
These disappeared into the
swamps with the speed of a
horse.
At daylight the lioness “Sul
tana” returned for her cubs.
With her was her former mate,
“Cincinnatus, ” that a year ago
was sold to Campbell Bros. ’ cir
cus, and that escaped when that
show was wrecked a week ago.
Harry Reed, superintendent of
the animals, with his assistants,
coralled the two beasts and re
captured them. The lions killed
a horse belonging to a planter,
William Simpson.
A late report has it that the
bunch of snakes are terrorizing
tVio nonnlo tn thp north of Nor
fleet, and are killing stock. The
loss to Robinson’s show is $20,
000. An elephant, “Tip,” leaped,
as in the Brookviile collision, and
saved her life.
Four showmen are missing,
James Walts, candy butcher,
Memphis; Charles Rankin, ani
mal man, Chicago; Percy Jones,
chandelier man, St. Louis; Fletch
er Liggett, hostler, Cincinnati.
Latest reports show monster
black-maned lion “Jeff Davis”
out and preying on farmers’
stock.
