PUBLIC MEETING.
ISThe citizens of Des Arc and vicinity
are requested to meet at the Mayot s
Office this evening, at 7 o clock. Let
everybody attend, as all arc interested.

: Arkansas Hotel, Napoleon.—We have
neglected to call attention to the “Arkansas
Hotel,” at Napoleon, Arkansas. Messrs.
Randolph & Gracie, the proprietors, we are
assured, offer superior advantages to the
traveling public. We hope our friends,
wlini traveling that way will give them a
call.

Bkillep.—We learn that William Combs
killed his father-in-law, Wren Carter, on
Upoer Surrounded Hill, Jackson county, on
Monday morning last. It seems that Combs
had made over his property to Carter to save
it from execution, and that after lie had paid
the amount against him, he wished Carter to
return him the property. Carter refused to
do so, and Combs, after mature deliberation,
told the old man that if he did not do so he
would kill him, as his (Combs’) family would
suffer if they did not get it to live on. On
Monday last, as Carter was passing Combs'
v„ .... /p,,mi,o\ Irvnlr his rifle and accosted
him, insisting that Carter should give up the
property or he would kill him. Carter still re
fused and screened himself behind a stump, but
Bombs followed him up and shot him, while
in a stooping position, the ball entering his
left side and ranging down. Carter died in
stantly, and Combs made bis escape.
0 Emigrants, Lan*> Hunters, &c.—The em
igration to and through this section of the
State is far above that of any previous year.
For several weeks past long lines of white
covered wagons have been seen wending their
way towards the ferry on the opposite side of
White river, or spreading their tent-cloths to
await their turn in crossing the stream. From'
early dawn till late at night the ferrymen are
bringing over wagons, stock, carriages, bug
gies; also, negroes and white families com
posed of all ages, from the prattling babe to
the aged sire. And the cry is still they come.
The Dos Arc route has advantages over all
others, as plenty of food for both man and
beastcanbe obtained on the most reasonable
terms.
Land hunters from all sections east of the
Mississippi are traversing the country, and
those who made investments several years
line,., are looking up their lands for the pur
pose of settling or selling out to those who
have determined to locate near White river,
k’ever have we known (lie determination of
S ttling in Arkansas exhibited by a more no
ble looking class of people. At night, around
the camp fire, the song of thankfulness to Him
‘■Who rides upon the stormy skies
And calms the roaring seas,”
js chanted in clear and ennobling strains, by
Tvoices that from infancy have been learned to
|»iraise and adore ‘‘lire King eternal, immortal,
invisible, the only wise and true God.” There
|s nothing that makes 50 strong an impression
Upon the human mind as the true devotion of
those who, having left behind them their old
homes, have not forgotten their pledge to their
Creator to serve hi in faithfully, whether, in the
building dedicated to His worship, or around
the rude camp-fire, beneath the trees of the
forest.
