DYER, ARK.
The flourishing little village is
situated on the Little Rock and Ft.
Smith railroad in the eastern part
of Crawford county. It is surround
ed by a beautiful and productive
country and is destined in the near
future to be one of the leading
towns of west Arkansas. But of all
the good things about this thrifty
litttle town, the best is it is a pro
hibition town and likely to remain
so. Right here, I want to tell the
people ;of Sumtnsrville and sur
rounding country, that whisky is
not essential to the growth of any
town, but to the contrary a disad
vantage. Mulberry, a town on the
L. R. A Ft. 8. railroad, a few miles
east of Dyer, will, with hundreds of
other towns, testify to this.
The crops up to the 10th of this
month, were better than they were
ever known to be in this state, so
said old settlers, but since that
time the boll worms hare made
their appearance and the prospect
for a good crop is gloomy indeed.
Corn is all right yet, though there
has been some complaint of the
chintz bug, but it has not been
general.
The fruit crop is fine. The peo
ple in the northern part of this
county, I am told, are busily en
gaged in gathering their peaches
and apples and having them made
into brandy. I guess they will
have a merry Christmas.
The health of the surrounding
country is good, they say, and I
suppose it is true, if they do not
consider chills sickness.
Arkansas, it is said, has several
advantages over Georgia, but the
one I love her most for is her pub
lic school system. Here the poor
man can send his children to school
from three to six months each year
without paying a cent of tuition.
I am confident if “Fogy” could see
the workings of the public school
system here he would never be guil
ty of of spooking or penning an
other sentence agninst public
schools.
I spent the most of last week in
Crawford County Teacher’s Insti
tute, which convened at Fine Spring
and can truthfully say that I was
greatly benetitted by attending it.
It is truly of great benefit to teach
ers and should be supported by all
who feel any interest in education.
What has become of Buck and

HILLSBORO, TEX.
Hill county is situated within
leas than thirty-five miles of the
geographical Center of the state
and forms a portion of territory
which is recognized as the most
fertile and productive in the state.
The Brazos river forms a western
boundary of the county, separating
it from Bosque county, the other
adjoining counties being Johnson
on the north, Ellis and Navarro on
the east and McLennan and Lime
stone on the south. Hill county
was created in 1853, being formed
from a portion of Navarado and
was named after Dr. George W.
Hill who then represented Navarro
county in the legislature. Hill
county embraces an area of 1030
square miles or 650,200 acres, and
the altitude is about 800 feet aboie
sea level. The surface of the coun
try is generally rolling, with alter
nate gradual elevations and depres
sions, while along the Brazos ex
tends a rich and picturesque valley
averaging about four miles in width
and not surpassed anywhere for
purposes of farming and gardening.
A person entering the county from
the east will, on ascending the
mountain slope dividing the head
waters of the Trinity and Brazos,
behold a land of beauty and capa
ble of great wealth. This fine
stretch of land is principally prai
rie, streaked with timbered creeks
and branches which head high up
in the mountains and make their
way to the Trinity and Brazos. One
standing ou this elevation may see
one of the most beautiful land
scapes the suu ever shone upon.
Let the reader imagine a valley
reaching across the entire county
from north to south,thirty miles in
length and ten in width with scarce
ly an acre of poor land in it, dotted
with farm houses from one end to
the other, the most of which can be
seen from this elevated standpoint
with a winding stream through the
center and you have the picture.
This valley embraces about 500
square miles, capable of producing
9,600,000 bushels of corn in one
year, enough to feed fully one mil
lion of people. West of this valley
is the cross timbers, a belt of woo 1-
land from six to eight miles in
width which passes through the
western portion of the county, the
course being from north-east to;
south-west. Beyond the cross,
timbers is another picture of beau
tiful scenery, viz: the Brazos slope,
composed principally of prairie
dotted with live oaks, green in the
winter as if in derision of the cold
north wind and in summer promises
magnificent shade—a delightful
view upon which to rest the eye.
Next is the Brogus valley where
may be seen some of the finest cot
ton lands in the world and a river
which is the most noted of any of
the Texas steams.

FROM SHINBONE VALLEY.
„ ■ ■,—.<)■■■
Allow me space this week and I
will write you a communication
from our little valley as I have seen
nothing from here yet.
The sudden death of Rev. I). T.
Thurman is deeply jegreted by
his many friends. We offer our
heartfelt sympathies to his bereav
ed family and say to them, though
they have lost a father Heaven has
gained a son; though it is the
world’s loss it is Heaven’s gain
and though it is our loss, it is his
gain. “Blessed are the dead who
die in the Lord.”
We are glad to hear that Mr.
David Thurman, of Chattanooga,
will make one of Shinbone’s future
and most welcome citizens.
Miss Cleo Lawrence’s school is in
a flourishing condition which is
very flattering to Miss Cleo as a
teacher.
Miss Ollie Williams, of Rome,
is visiting relatives near Teloga
Springs. She has been the guest of
Miss Maggie Wilson and. sister and
Miss Cleo Lawrence. I think some
of the boys would be delighted if
she were to prolong her visit. I
would say to the young man of
Rome who claims her that if ho is
not watchful he will have some
rivals.
Miss Maggie Bankston, ofTexas,
is visiting friends and relatives at
her old home in this place. It is said
she will shortly return to her home
in the far west and has many friends
who will regret her departure.
Mr. John Crowder made a flying
visit to the Cove last week. We
think there must be some attrac
tion over there for him. Bring her
in John ; if you don't some hoy will
get the best of you.
More anon.

CHATTOOG-AVILLE, GA.
We have had rain in abundance
for several days and not much fod
der has yet been saved. Corn
crops will be tolerable good; cotton
has a powerful weed, but is not so
well formed as it ought to Im? for
a good crop. Most people have got
a good turnip patch in our settle
ment.
The health of our community is
only tolerable good; there is some
sickness and some people are chill
ing.
Walnut Grove High School is
fine with a good attendance.
We had quite a sad accident, in
Seminole Monday morning Rufus
Haskins, colored, was working in a
well for J- M. Smith and while be
ing drawn out fell back about
fourteen feet and broke his neck.
It is supposed that the gas in the
well was very bad and in all proba
bility that caused him to fall out of
the box. Seminole.

Walton Edwards was born Feb.
Ist 1870 and died Dec. 30th 1888.
He joined the church in the year
1886 and was baptised by Rev. J. M.
Smith. He lived a pious and hum
ble Christian during the time he
J lived among us and was loved by
; all who knew him. He was indeed
; an example among us and especial
l]y the young Christians. He gave
’promise of usefulness in the Mas-
Iter’s cause, but alas, affliction
i seized upon him and he was called
iby the Master to come up higher.
' He bore his afliiction in patience
and Christian fortitude, for he had
one to guide him until death and to
pass with him through the trying
hour and so he califfly passed away
to join the redeemed throng in
praising his Savior where there is
no sorrow, sickness, pain nor death
—where eternal day excludes the
night and pleasures banish pain.
He is gone, but not lost; and while
the fond parents, brothers, relatives
and friends are sad because of his
absence at their home and associa
tion, but he has now a beautiful
home that Jesus prepared notfor him
only but for parents, kindred and
all who love the Lord Jesus Christ.
Resolved Ist, That in the death
of Bro. Edwards the hearts of many
are made sad, and the church has
lost one that might have been a
co-wo’rker with us, but that we bow
in submission to the will of Him
who doeth all thingswell. That we
will try to imitate his many virtues
ami retain his memory in our
hearts.
2nd, That to the parents ninl rel
atives we tender our heart felt sym
pathy in this bereavement and sor
row but remember that your loss is
his eternal gain and may it bind
your hearts nearer to the Savior
whom he loved, so that when this
life is over you may meet
your loved one in that land where
there will lie no more sad parting,
nor tears of sorrow.
3rd, That this be spread upon
the minutes of the church and that
a copy be furnished the bereaved
family.

The Picnic.
Last Saturd i; iii :;nir.g L> i:i i
your correspon lent on his way to
the Allen Spring picnic, occasion
ally humming and whistling a low
tune with blissful expectations de
picted on his mind.
On arriving the first to greet the
eye was the large well arranged
platform well shaded, close by the
rippling brook, on which the boys
with their best girls were tripping
the light fantastic toe to the sweet
strains of the violin rendered by
the vetera np I aye r, Gus William’.
Farther on were seen the most
pleasant and entrancing features of
the day—-i well selected, cool and
inviting place, with seats well ar
ranged under large embowered caks
were a party of young ladies and
gentlemen playing croquet. For
this part of the programme I give
my friend Mid credit for arranging.
Alabama comes in for a very
large credit to be placed < n her
margin, as she contributed a trio
of beautiful you ng ladies, consist
ing of Misses Carrie and Hattie
Alexander and L >;i Curry, who
were quite an acquisition and added
materially to the enjoy meat of the
day. After they were gone my
friend Hbnry seemed rather cress
fallen as he could no longer enjoy
Miss C’s sunny smiles that day.
Catoosa county must have her
full share of credit as she furnished
one of the most fascinating and
beautiful young ladies, Miss Lena
Careathers. Without her pleasant
and mirthful presence a bright link
in the day’s chain of enjoyment
would have been gone.
Mr. Sam Blaylock and .Mr. Sims
were also visitors from Catoosa,
who seemed favorably’ impressed
with Chattooga’s fair, as their faces
were wreathed in smiles.
Ono of the enjoyable features of
the day which comes second to
none was the bountiful repast which
was spread at late twelve, composed
of rich and varied viands as wbuld
satisfy the (host fastidious epicuri
an, which gives evidence of our la
dies being well versed in the culin
ary art.
All was pleasure, relaxation and
fun until three o’clock, p. m., when
dark clouds were seen to rise up in
the western and southern horison
accompanied with deep mutterings
of heavy distant thnn ler which
pre li te<l a heavy rainfall, which
predictions were borne out by facts.
We soon emigrated to the Allen
residence by invitation of our gen
ial friend Mid.
After the rain was over the re
luctant good liys were said and were
soon homeward bound with pleas
ant memories of the Allen Spring
picnic. Orestes.
