A There will be a regular Commiinica
tion of White River Lodge No. 37,

All Masons in good standing are invited to
attend. P- H. HAYLEY, S.
The Weather, Crops, etc.—During
the past ten days we have been visited
with heavy rains, but we are pleased to
learn that the maturing crops of cotton,
corn, &c., have not been injured thereby.
Cotton is coming into market freely, and
planters are receiving a fair price for it,
as our quotations will testify.
Frost.—On Mondy morning a slight
frost was discernable upon feucps and
dry timber, in the neighborhood of Des
Arc.
Fire.— A fire broke out about 4 o’clock this
morning, in a negro shanty, on the premises
of Reason Reagin, Esq., corner of Pike and
Thornhill streets. The house was torn down
before the flames reached the adjacent build
ings. The fire is attributed to the carelessness
of a negro woman.
Agricultural Fair Concert.—By refer- ,
ence to an advertisement in our columns, ,
signed by the Secretary of the -Prairie county
Agricultural Society,’it will be seen that the i
Ladies have again consented to favor the at- ]
temlants at the approaching Fair with a con- ,
cert, the proceeds to go into the treasury of i
the Society. This is indeed commendable on
the part of our fair friends. There was noth- ;
ing, during our last annual Fair, that the large ,
number in attendance were more highly grati- ]
lied to see, than the fine array of musical talent j
presented on that occasion. We are safe in j
asserting .hat this concert will be equal, if not :
superior to th t of last year.
Our townsman, Dr. Theo. Sanders, left
on the steamer Admiral, last Friday. He pur- 1
poses visiting Virginia, and will be absent
several weeks. He will resume the practice
of his profession on his return. i

G. & J. McLaren & Co.—This firm are in
receipt of their fall and winter supply of
goods, and are determined that “no one shall
sell cheaper than they do, if they know it.” —
Their stock has been selected by George Mc
Laren, Esq., the senior member of the firm,
which is a good assurance that the right kind
of goods have been procured for this market.
They are determined to please their custo
mers, both as regards quality and prices.
“Call and See John Jackson & Co.”—
Our friends opposite the “Des Arc Hotel,” the
same house wherein may be found a trio, con
sisting of John Jackson, Matt. Cooper and
Jiido-e Anderson, are in receint of their fall
and winter stock of goods. They have a large
stock, and an endless variety. See their ad
vertisements interspersed throughout our col
umns generally.
Goodwin & Son.—This firm are receiving
their supply of fall and winter goods, and are
desirous that purchasers should give them a
call, as they have a full stock, a great varie
ty, and are determined to sell as “cheap ! as
the cheapest!! See their advertisement, -
Scotch Soled Boots.—Messrs. O’Bryan
& Holt, as everybody knows, are No. 1 work
men. They understand the art of shaping
leather to suit the “feet” of customers, no
matter if their “feet” are a “foot long.”—
Their make of fine boots, we have tried, and
know them to be good—but what we wish to
call attention to is an article known as “Scotch
Soled Boots,” a specimen of which were on
exhibition at their shop on Monday. We
won’t attempt to describe them—but call
and examine for yourselves. They are
well adapted to muddy weather, impervious to
water; and the individual who wears them
will escape “kotching cold and having a fe
ver.” If our town authorities fail to grade
the streets, and owners of pi operty don’t lay
down their pavements, it would be a good idea
to appropriate a sufficient sum, and contract
with Messrs. O’Bryan & Holt to furnish ev
ery man, woman and child in the town with a
pair of their “Scotch Soled Boots.” They
are warranted to last a lifetime, provided the
purchaser don’t live too long.

Fine Fruit Trees.— Mr. Wm. Morrow,
from the Nursery of Jno. D. Morrow, Tishe
mingo county, Mississippi,called on us yester
day. From the well known reputation of this
Nursery, we take pleasure in recommending
the proprietors to the public. Their Apple
and Pear scions, &c., are superior to those
brought from the North, bb they have been
reared in the Southern climate, and there can
bp no deception as to their growth and matu
rity. The specimen of Queen apple left with
us, is of a superior kind. Mr. Morrow wish
es to make engagements for the delivery of
scions in the month of December. On his
arrival here at that time, he will make it
known to our readers.

diana, than whom a truer friend to the
Constitution and the rights of the States
does not live north or South of Mason and
Dixon’s Line, zealously advocates the
nomination of Gen. Jo. Lane, of Oregon,
for the Presidency in 1860. Gov. Wil
lard knows the sort of stuff “Old Jo.”
is made of, and thinks his nomination
equivalent to an election.—^Memphis

Memphis and White River Packet Ad
miraY.—This splendid freight and passenger
packet made her appearance at our landing on
Wednesday night last Capt. Baird has had
the Admiral thoroughly overhauled during the
past summer, and she is now one of the neat
est packets in the trade. Our old friend Capt.

all her officers are experienced and careful
men. With Capt. Baird in command, and
Capt. Thomasson ii^the office, passengers and
shippers have full assurance of “comfort,
safety and expedition.” The Admiral leaves
Memphis on Tuesday’s, arriving at Des Arc
on Thursday’s.
The Gen’l. Pike.—The Memphis, White
and Little Red river packet Gen’l. Pike, Capt.
Riley Jones, with Pete Fleming in the office,
passed up Monday evening, and returned last
night. The Pike has taken her place in the
trade again as a regular packet. Capt. Jones
has spared neither trouble or expense in
fitting out his noble steamer. Every appur
tenance necessary has been applied, and pas
sengers and shippers will find politeness and
attention always at hand. Capt. Fleming, as
is usual with him, furnished us with full files
of late papers. The Pike is due again next
Monday afternoon.

Win. F. Young, is due Friday morning, bound

Sinking of the Steamer “ Irene” in the
Arkansas River—Loss $21,COO.—Thu Na
loleon and Little Rock packet Irene, Capt.
iohn D. Adams, when near White River Cut
)ff, on the 21th, struck a snag, and iminediate
y parted in the middle, and sunk in sixteen
eet water. Among her freight were seventy
>ales of cotton, which with the boat are an
mtire loss. The Irene was comparatively a
lew boat, having been built at Cincinnati, for
2apt. Adams, her owner, in the spring of 1858.
She was ack nowledgly the handsomest boat ever
een on the Arkansas river. The Irene was to
lave been one of a new line of steamers which
s shortly to be established between Mein
ihis and Little Rock. She was valued at
>24,000, $12,000 of which was covered by
nsurance. ■»
A Liberal Gift.—Capt. Abner Baird of
he good Steamer Admiral, on the 30th ult.,
presented the Methodist Church of Des Arc
vith a fine bell. The gift seems to be duly
ippreciatcd by our Methodists friends, as the
ollowing proceedings will testify.
At a meeting of the Quarterly Confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, held at Des Arc, on Saturday 1
the 1st of October, 1859, the follow
ing preamble and resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas, Capt. Abner Baird, of the Mem
phis and White river packet Admiral, has ;
presented the Methodist Church of Des Arc,
a bell, for the use and benefit of Watkins
Chapel; and Whereas, We highly appre
ciate the generous spirit exhibited thereby; 1
be it therefore
Resolved, That the thanks of this Confer
ence, and of the members of the Church rep
resented thereby, as well as that of the public
generally, are hereby tendered Capt. Baird.
Resolved, That we trust “the sound of the
3hurch going bell” may not only be heard, but
hat the multitude may be persuaded to come
ind hear of “him who died that we might
Resolved, That the foregoing preamble
ind resolutions be published in the “Des Arc
Citizen,” and a copy of the same be presented
0 Capt. A. Baird.
J. F. CARR,
Preacher in charge Des Arc Station.
Gratuitous Advertising.—The follow
ng paragraph which we quote from the
•Prairie (Mississippi) News,” we trust, will
>e read and pondered over by the public gen
erally. We have published the -Citizen’ near
ive years, and during that time have done over
hree thousand dollars worth of gratuitous
idvertising:
“Some people there are who are so innocent
y simple as to believe, or affect to believe,
hat the editorial columns of a newspaper are
jublic property in which every society, every
ichool, and every meeting has a special inter
•st that entitles it to a special right to be
down into notoriety or puffed into public fa- ,
ror. Preambles and resolutions, no matter
low long or of how little general interest they '
nay be, individual puffs, business announce
nents—all are expected to be printed, gratis.
We have, to some extent tried to disabuse the
public mind of this hallucination. It is all
/ery well to argue that an editor must fill
lis paper with something, and that such
diings will “fill up” as well as anything else;
but be it distinctly understood that we possess,
ind intend to exercise, the right of being the
udge of whatever matter is likely to be of
most interest to our subscribers. We pay for
ivery line of type that is set up in this office,
ind no one can reasonably expect us to pay for
:he setting up of type for his pecuniary bene
fit, without paying us for the space he wishes
;o occupy. In cities a man would as soon
:hink of going into a store, and ask the pro
prietor to give him a suit of clothes, as to step
nto a printing office and ask the editor to give
lima notice that would benefit him pecunia
rily. In the agrarian districts, however, it is
1 little different; but printers, like other me
:hauics, must be paid for their work. Money
is as necessary to the steady going of a print
ing office, as are wheels to the running of a
:art.
As a man we treat our fellowr-men with the
ame degree of courtesy and kindness they ex
tend to us; as a printer we will mete out jus
tice to those who are just to us.”
There is a class who have been neglected
by the “News.” We mean those who beg a
paper from the printing office, or “pick up”
one from their neighbors door—they get the
paper—no matter how—so they don’t have to
pay for it. They won’t try to beg a yard of
goods of the merchant—they pay for that—
but the newspaper “ don’t cost the publisher
anything!” Oh, no 1
-Mr. Leslie, the interesting young man
who swindled a platoon of girls by hiring
them as teachers, and leaving them suddenly j
in this city, at the same time trying to steal!
their baggage, was sentenced in Philadelphia
yesterday to three years hard labor in the
penitentiary.— [New York Tribune, 21st.

NEW PATENT.
rlie undersigned having procured the exclu
sive right of Manufacturing and selling to
he citizens of Prairie county Arkansas, the
ate improvement in plows, (known as Har
is’ twelve pointed shovel and turning plow,)
vould inform the planters of said county that
le is prepared to receive and fill all orders,
vhicu will be done in regular turn, notifying
he person ordering, as soon as ready.
This is no Yankee humbug for speculation,
uit was gotten up in the South by an expe
ienced workman, on scientific principles, to
uit the wants of the cotton growing coinmu
lity, and five minutes examination will satisfy
lie" most credulous, that it is the neatest, best,
nd in the end, the cheapest plow ever of
ered.
They will be put up at Atlanta, Prairie
ounty, under the superintendence of an cx
lerienced worKinan and no means or time will
ie spared in making them neat and durable.
The advantages of this over all other plows
o the farmer is, cheapness, time saved in go
ng to the shop, time saved in changing plows
nd the smith’s bill. In this you have four
listinct plows, all working perfect, (no sub
titute in cither,) which yon can change at
ileasure on any part of your farm, no other
ool being required but your clevis pin; first,
'oil have a small shovel, suited for all ordi
lary purposes of that tool, by adding one
uoiild, either right or left:, you have a good
urning half shovel for ridging and hilling and
dace a cutter before it and you havo an excel
ent new-ground plows in the third place, put
hi both moulds and you have a large shovel,
lerfectly suited to breaking out the middles
if cotton rows; and fourth, by reversing the
noulds of the large shovel, you have a good
:otton sweep, all four working better than you
:an get any common smith to make of wrought
ron. In addition you have, by adjusting the
loint, (which is made of the best of wrought
low steel.) five extra points and eleven extra
harpenings, over other plows, which is said,
y some of the most prominent planters in
forth Mississippi, to be sufficient for five
rops; and all this for Jf*(i 50-100, without
utter, or $7 50-100 with cu(ter attached;
hese are shop prices. I will send them to
Irownsville or Hickory Plain, in lots of 20
or $3 per lot or to lies Arc, at $6 per lot.
(IS" Terms invariably cash on delivery of
he plow. C. A. HARRIS.
