APPEALS FOR AID.
Legislature Asked To Support Or
ganization Of State Militia By
Liberal Appropriation.
Little Rock, Nov. 23.—Adjt.-Gen.
Charles Jacobson Saturday addressed
a letter to each member of the com
ing legislature asking for a liberal ap
propriation for the State Guard.
Among other things he says: “I ad
dress you because the State Guard has
risen to a dignity and assumed such
proportions as to challenge the favor
of the people of Arkansas. It has
attained its present standing without
any legislative aid, by appropriation
or otherwise from the State, and has
now two fully organized and equipped
regiments, containing twenty-four
companies; also a third regiment in
process of organization, which we are
not actively encouraging for the rea
son of our inability to equip them as
they should be, the State necessarily
depending upon the national govern
ment for everything.
“The State Guard cannot maintain
its standing without some financial
assistance from the State, and to this
end I enlist your sympathy and co
operation. The office of adjutant
general, as well as all other military
positions connected with the Guard,
being without an allowance, the period
has now arrived, it is believed, when
the State should supplement the act
of the Federal government by making
a reasonable appropriation for its
military establishment. The national
government contributes one million
dollars annuklly, apportioned accord
ing to representation in congress, to
the several States, this sum, however,
Uollig ov/ioij avanauu ui aitua u>nv*
equipments. No money allowance is
granted, therefore the need of Arkan
sas lining up with her sister States by
making a suitable appropriation for
handling the supplies annually fur
nished by the government at Wash
ington, also for the general conduct of
concerns relating to the State Guard.
Arkansas alone of the States has not
in many years assisted with funds the
organization of its active military es
tablishments, its only direct support
having beeri the commissioning of of
ficers, whose efforts have brought to
its present efficiency a force aggre
gating twenty-two well organized and
well appointed guardsmen.”
PRAISES*PARAGOULD PASTOR.
As the annual conference of the
Methodist church draws near, and
the moving time for the pastors of
that denomination is close at hand, in
terest in the pastoral fate of Rev. M.
B. Umsted the popular minister of the
Paragould church, becomes a matter
of public-concern says the Soliphone.
From his entrance on the ministerial
work here, Rev. Umsted has grown in
popular favor and has ably maintained
the high standard set by his pre
decessor Dr. Jeffett. While his style
in the pulpit, and his manner in ming
ling with the people differ from that
of Bro. Jeffett, the churcn and cause
of christanity at large have lost noth
ing under the miuistery of Rev Um
sted. His sermons make up in prac
tical, consecrated power, for the
fervid eloquence of his predecessor,
and all have been made better by
coming in contact with him and his
truly pious wife.
It is the well-nigh unanimous wish
of the people of Paragould that the
conference return Rev. Umsted and
his good lady to this charge again.
And as it would be contrary to the
customs of the church and to the
wishes of the people in general to re
move him after the first year’s work
here, it is confidently expected that
there will be no change made in the
Paragould pastorate by the Bishop.
BIG LAND DEAL.
Messrs. Bird and Smith, of Sioux
City, Iowa, recently purchased from
the Pond-Decker Manufacturing
Company 13,000 acres of land, situ
ated in the southwestern part of the
' county, and most of it is cut-over land
. which can easily be put in cultivation.
, The price paid by the purchasers
' amounted to nearly $100,000. Mr. W.
1.1 jamb, our enterprising real estate
agent, had a finger in the pie, in the
i matter of looking up abstracts to title,
and he is also retained as agent for
I the sale or disposition of this property
! to home-seekers and people who want
to purchase small farms.—Osceola
Times.
SERMON FOR*PYTHIANS.
All Knights of Pythias are requested
to meet at the lodge rooms at seven
p. m. Sunday, Nov. 30th, that they
may march in a body to the Metho
dist church, where Sir Knight Rev. J.
W. Smith will deliver an address upon
Pythianism, to which all are invited.

RECEPTION TO MERCHANTS.
Tbe St. Louis merchants, manu
factures and bankers were enthusias
tically and cordially received by the
business men of this city. After the
drive over the residence portions of
the city and through the business
section, they were taken to the rooms
of the Newport Club.
The address of welcome delivered
by Hon. J. M. Stayton was responded
to by H. S. Tuttle, president of the
St. Louis Merchants & Manufacturers
Excursion Association, who is also
manager of the St. Louis Furniture
Building Trade. His remarks were
timely, and happily expressed, thank
ing the business men of Newport for
their hospitality and evidence of good
will and assuring them of good credit.
In one corner of the club rooms, a
beverage of sufficient age to tickle
the palate of an Epicurean was served
and the health of guests and hosts
were here toasted.
After this informal reception, the
visitors were taken to the business
houses of the merchants, that they
might have an idea of the stocks car
ried by Newport houses and form the
acquaintance of members of the firm,
who could not be present owing to
the rush of business.
The special train left at 4:15 p. m.
after a stay of 1 hour and 45 minutes,
for Walnut Ridge. Only one other
stop was to be made, Corning, and
the St. Louis representatives expected
to reach home Sunday morning after
their two weeks excursion through
Louisiana and Arkansas.
They were very pleasant gentlemen,
who made a most favorable impres
sion with Newport and we hope that
these excursions into their trade
territory may become annual visits.
SEARCY AND DES ARC
RAILROAD EXTENSION.
The long talked of extension of £he
Searcy ana Des Arc is taking some
definite shape. The surveying party
previously mentioned after running
the line from Hazen to Des Arc, made
a number of surveys about town and
finally settled on a line out of town
as follows: Leaving the main line
near the east end of the depot by a
gradual curve across the Public Square
and striking Thornhill street just
north of its intersection with Main St.,
thence south out of town by Thorn
hill St. This was deemed by the rail
way people as the most satis' ictory
route. This route was selected of
course subject to the will of the prop
erty owners located thereon and ‘the
City council in regard to streets and
public property.—Des Arc Guidon.
LYNCHING VERDICT.
Wynne, Ark.,Nov. 23.- The coroner
did not come from some cause to hold
the inquest on the negro hanged here
Thursday night, and R. C. Castleman,
'justice of the peace, empaneled a jury
Saturday morning and a verdict was
returned as follows:
“Good and lawful jurors of said
Cross county, who, being sworn in due
form, say that the said Elias Wells
came to bis death at the hands of un
known parties by hanging him by the
nock and a blow in the back of his
head. C. M. Crain, foreman of the

The remains were taken charge of
by Mr. J. L. Catlett for burial.

STREET FAIR
FINANCIAL SUCCESS.
There can no longer be a doubt re
maining in the mind of any one in re
gard to the financial success of our
street fair says the Poplar Bluff
Sentinel. That it was a howling
success every other way, has never
been disputed. The financial com
mittee has finished settling all ae
counts, and a check for 30 per cent of
the original donation has been pre
sented to all who contributed. It is
certainly encouraging and the pros
pects for another one next year are
very good. The managers who took
j such an interest and w'orked so un
ceasingly for the success of the fair,
certainly deserve great credit and the
thanks of the community.
