§ BELIEVE BILL IS
I DOOMED TO DEFEAT.
m Hon. Gustave Jones, W. D.
® McLain, 0. D. Watson, T. S. and
ft Dr. G. K. Stephens, Dr. E. L.
if Watson and others were in Lit
tie Rock Wednesday to oppose
k ^the Village creek drainage bill
ii now before the senate,
p At a meeting of the levee com
■ mitstee of that body, with Senator
jr ^larrison of this district absent,
P\*fter hearing arguments by
m Messrs. Watson and Jones, the
• ■ committee promised to return the
I bill, recommending unanimously
I that it do not pass. Whether
I these are Chairman Harrison’s
I sentiments is doubtful, as the
1 ojSpuiients of the bill construe
■ his absence to mean that he is
H with the other side.
1 Mr. Jones says the bill is un
1 constitutional, and should the act
1 be passed there is no doubt but
I that it would be tested in the
I courts.

There was preaching at Sand
Hill church Sunday. The writer
never visits this church but what
it brings back pleasant memories
of long, long ago. It was there
in 1879 that our career as a school
boy commenced; it was there we
: chased the ball from its hiding:
at the old house our little band
gave chase to the fictitious deer,
and for an hour at noon roamed
over the old vine-clad hill. Truly,
those were the happiest days oi
our young life, and we never pass
the old church but what some
thought comes to us of old asso
ciates, long since passed frorr
our view. We make special men
tion of our good teacher, who is
standing far back in the meadow
of a well spent life. Asweleav<
this old church, with her rusti<
i benches—more than a centurj
old—and still bearing marks fron
the 25-cent barlow knife our fa
ther gave us, we follow the quie
path w'hich leads us by the grav<
of some dear friend who ha:
passed o’er the mysterious river
A moistened cheek and we pas:
on, thinking that some day thi
little path will end with us onl;
to re-appear beyond the dark tid'
after a dreamless sleep.
