gy The Rev. J. M. Walsh, will preach
at the Methodist Episcopal Church in this
place, on next Sabbath at 11 o’clock.
J^"Let ail our readers who are in search of i
a sign, other than the sign of the Prophet,seek
for the new signs on Buena Vista street.
Look Out.—Wise, prudent and far-seeing
men are always on the look-out for rare
bargains, and we would advise all such to read
the advertisement headed “Land and town
lots for sale,” by J. H. Quisenberry, and act
accordingly.
Panther Killed.—On the 9th inst., a
male Panther was killed in Monroe county,
near Crockett’s Bluff, by James Mayo. He
measured nine feet from the tip of his nose to
the end of his tail.
w That beautiful season known as “In
dian Summer,” took its departure from this
latitude on Saturday morning last. We had
a change from the balmy breezes of the South to
the chilling winds of the North in the short
space of an hour.
-—■—
($gr A company of Georgians passed through
our town on Saturday last on ftieir way home
from Pike’s Peak. AM we could learn of their
success goes to corroberate the fact that the
same amount of toil and money necessary to a
trip to these mines, expended in cultivating
the rich lands of Arkansas, is productive of
much greater results.
Photographic Portraits.—Those emi
nent artists, Mr. and Mrs. Bailey, have ar
rived and will open at the Des Arc Hotel in
the course of a day or two. The citizens,
one and all, are invited to give them a call.
'Their pictures are of a superior class—try
them and satisfy yourself. Satisfaction guar
anteed or no pay.
A Pumpkin that is “some punkins.”—
Capt. Price, of the Fortune, on his last down
trip called the aftention of “Our Jim” to
« inammouth Pumpkin, grown by Mr. George
Rainey, of Jackson connty, which weighed
■ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE POUNDS!
Talk about the Great Eastern, fast horses and
baby shows, but when it comes to Pigeon
Roosts and big Pumpkins “ Arkansaw ” may,
most emphatically, be considered in.
For the Des Arc Citizen.]
A Trip to the Pigeon Ro&t, etc.
O, fly to the Pigeon Roost, and we will tell
Vou a glorious tale, Capt. J. C. Morrill ;
Of the chickens and pigeons, without number,
That were slain as they pass’d our way like
thunder.
Confinement to the editorial chair has doubt
less stiffened your wings, and a flight so far
distant would not be a very pleasant under
taking. With this reasonable supposition we
Will Come to your sanctum without further
ceremony and tell you of the fine times we
had on Grand Prairie, and some of the won
ders of the Pigeon Roost.
Early one lovely morning last week, in com
pany with Col. W. W. Wair, Dr. O. A. Rives
and Gull, and L. D. Hardshaw’s well trained
.pointers, I left your beautiful town en nouTF.
for the Pigeon Roost. According to previous
arrangement we hatted at the residence of
Col. B. B. Allen, one of Carolina’s most no
ble sons, who has recently settled in Arkansas.
• Judging from the snowy whiteness of his neat
ly arranged and widely extended fields, he
must be a No. 1 farmer, and will enjoy a rich
reward from the prolific soil he has cultiva
ted. At Col. Allen’s we met with S. Massin-'
gill, Esq., of North Carolina, one of the
Colonel’s old companions and boyhood friends,
a kind hearted, high-toned gentleman, who is
on a vistit to this section In search of a new
home. He is highly pleased tvith the lands
in this country, and we hope the day is not far
•distant when he will be “ one amongst tts.”
After partaking of a sumptuous dinner pre
pared by the direction of Mrs. Allen, we re
sumed our trip, Col. Allen and Mr. Massingill
accompanying us. At early dusk we halted
at the residence of Col. R. E. Rives, two
miles from Grand Prairie. We have often
been the recipient of kindness—but never
avere we met with a heartier welcome, or a
more free bestowal of favor and and kindness
•than we received at the happy home of this
kind family.
After a pleasnt and refreshing sleep we
awoKe luu iiL Ai morning, enjoyea mine uroua
fast, and were soon again on our way, our
number augmented by the company of Messrs.
J. I. Farrar and David Ross, two high spirit
ed, jovial, fine fellows—just the spirits for
such a hunt, and better marksmen are but sel
dom found. We soon reached the widely ex
tended and beautiful prairie.
“Type of the Infinite ! I look away
Over thy billows, and cannot stay
My thoughts upon a resting-place, or make
A shore beyond my vision, where they break s
But on my spirit stretches, ’till its pain
To think; then rests, and then puts forth again.”
Our dogs were soon busily engaged and In a
very short time flushed several prairie chick
ens, which were no sooner up and on the wing
than they were brought down by the unerring
aim of our marksmen. In a little while we
were out of ammuii’tion, hut had a goodly
number of delicious birds in its stead. We
then crossed the prairie to the beautiful villiage
of Brownsville, where we replenished our
stock of powder and shot, got our dinners and
hastened for the Roost, which we reached
just In titec th se? the pigeops come in. We
halted at Mr. Tate’s, who lives just on the
edge of the roost. This kind family gave us
an excellent supper. After which Messrs.
Wm. and Enos Tate and Mr. Sawyer offered
their services as guides for the night, which
were readily accepted, and after a few mo
ments’ ride we were in the roost. And here
language cannot give the most remote idea of
this feathered tribe—they are as the sands of
the seashore, or as the stars of Heaven—they
occupy an area of four miles, and the noise
they make is disgusting—they qan be heard
long before you get among them. We fired
several rounds into their midst, and were soon
satisfied and willing to quit. Wo cannot tell
exactly how many we killed, but the number
was enormous. We could say much more
about this interesting sport, but time will not
allow us. We close by wishing that all who
go on the same or all who visit the Pigeon
Roost and Grand Prairie, may have as jovial
and pleasant a time as we had.
Respectfully, Ac , Ac

NEW PATENT.
The undersigned having procured the exclu
sive right ot manufacturing and selling to
the citizens of Prairie county Arkansas, the
late improvement in plows, (known »e Har
ris’twelve pointed shovel and turning plow,)
would inform the planters of said county that
he is prepared to receive and fill all orders,
which will be done in regular turn, notifying
the person ordering, as soon as ready.
Tnis is no Yankee humbug for speculation,
but was gotten up in the South by an expe
rienced workman, on scientific principles, ts»
suit the wants of the cotton growing commu
nity, and five minutes examination will satisfy
the most credulous, that it is the neatest, best,
and in the end, the cheapest plow ever of
fered.
They will be put up at Atlanta, Prairie
county, under the superintendence ot an ex
Cerienced woruman and no means or time will
e spared in making them neat and durable.
The advantages of this over all other plows
to the farmer is, cheapness, time saved in go
ing to the shop, time saved in changing plows
and the smith’s bill. In this yon have four
distinct plows, all working perfect, (no sub
stitute in either,) which yon can change at
pleasure on any part of your farm.no other
tool being required but your clevis pin; first,
you have a small shovel, suited for all ordi
nary purposes of that tool, by adding one
mould, either right or left, you have a good
turning half shovel for ridging amrhiiling and
place a cutter before it and you have an excel
lent new-ground plow: in the third place, put
on both moulds and you have a large above),
perfectly suited to breaking out the middles
of cotton rowsj and fourth, by reversing the
moulds of the large shovel, you have a good
cottoh sweep, all four working better than you
can get any common smithtomske of wrought
iron. In addition you haVe, by adjusting the
point, (which is made of the best of wrought
plow steel,) five extra points and eleven extm
sharpeqings, over other plows, which it said,
by soffte of the most prominent planters in
North Mississippi, to l>e sufficient for five
crops; and all this for $6 50-100, without
cutter, or $7 50-100 with cutter attached;
these are shop prices. I twill send them to
Brownsville or tncaory in iota oi zu
for $3 per lot or to Des Arc, at $6 per 1st.
