AUGUSTA.
By Our Regular Correspondent.
Rev. McIntosh is conducting a
revival at the First Methodist
Church which promises to be very
successful. He is a clear and log
ical speaker and will undoubtedly
accomplish much good.
At about 10 o’clock Sunday night
the fire alarm was heard and those
who responded to the call found
that the servants’ house at M. Wil
enzek’s was in flames. The alarm
was given too late to save the
house, but the fire company arriv
ed in time to keep the blaze from
spreading to the houses close by.

a brass tag somewhere about his

far the Chief has sent 25 or more
assorted dogs to the happy hunt
ing grounds and is looking for
more.
Behold it has come to pass that
there is great commotion among
the scribes, pharisees and hypo
crites who do gather ’round about
the Princess Rink, and for lo!
these many days there has been no
peace. Those who do go ’round
about, and up and down on skates
have divided into two parts and
each side holds for the other the
same cordiality and good will that
a lop-eared, yellow Thomas Cat
holds for a bob-tailed bull dog.
The party of the first part are de
cendants of Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob; the party of the second
part being composed of Knockers,
Kickers and their Friends and Ad
mirers. Aud it has come to pass
that the Knockers, Kickers aud
their Friends and Admirers have
grown exceedingly wroth and have
said unto each anti every maiden,
“If therefore you skate with the
decendants of Abraham, Isaac aud
Jacob, you don’t skate with us.”

Dental Specialist,
WAVERLY HOTEL, McCRORY, ARKANSAS.

As the Doctor has already opeaated upon
scores of the best people from McCrory and vicini
ty, all of whom speak in the highest praise of his
skilled work, and as his reputation for Modern
Dental Work is thoroughly known, further refer
ence would be here useless. Can refer you to
scores upon scores of testimonials. MODERN
DENTAL WORK of all kinds done.
By the use of his Modern Electrical Instru
ments, together with his three years’ course of
Dental Sugery, carrying diploma from the oldest
dental colleges in the world, makes it most practi
cable and secure, as well as entirely painless for
any and all patronage.
CONSULTATION FREE.
Courtesy, like charity should
begin at home. Of course one
does not expect to find the same
degree of ceremony practiced there
as the formalities of mere acquain
tanceship exact, but there certain
ly should not be less respect and
deference paid to those who are
nearer and deader to us, than to
outsiders. The man who is a
gentleman in his home and among
those who comprise his immediate
household, can be trusted to do
nothing unbecoming to a gentle
man when beyond the precincts of
home; but the man who is cour
tesy itself when abroad is often
times the veriest boor within the
confines of his own dwelling place.
Such a man may pride himself on
being a gentlemen; but he is de
ficient in the elementary instincts
of the true type, and is consequent
ly somewhat akin to a counterfeit
that has obtained more or less cir
culation among the uninitiated,
but is neverless a spuriour coin,
the worthlessness of which will be
discovered sooner or later.
There is not such a great amount
of happiness in the world, even at
the best, that we should risk losing
it by our own misdeeds and ill
nature. There are many people
in life who may be likened to a
briar bush, when one comes too
near he gets stung by thorns; but
each individual should remember
that he himself is sometimes
thorny and apt to inflict wounds.
Therefore each one should be
more lenient toward the other, re
membering that the more one
strives against such things the
deeper they penetrate and the
more painful wounds they make.
A spark of fire if left to itself will
eventually die out, but if it be
nursed and fuel added, behold,
wbat a great conflagration ensues.
Forbearance is the only remedy,
and although everyone may not
possess the unexampled patience
of Job, yet what little they have
may-be, cultivated till things will
be made to go smoothly and easily.
The frogs have begun to sing.
What more welcome sound to the
heart and soul than the tuneful
melody of the little nocturnal, aq
uatic webfoot troubadour? The
meadow lark for the fields and the
robin for the back yard, but for
energetic wholesouled crescendo,
for care dispelling, debt-forgetting
enjoyment give us the frog.
