On last Saturday, one of the
most unprecedented Quarterly
Conferences was held in our
town. Bro. Taylor reported all
the benevolent assessments paid
in cash for the year and more'
than one fourth of the pastor’s ,
salary paid. A splendid showing ;
for our pastor and his flock. Bro.
Davidson, the presiding elder
preached two very able discours
es; one Saturday night; the other
Sunday morning.
Messrs. W. A. Montgomery,
and J. W. ftitterson, two enter
prising merchants of Saltiio,
Tenn., have moved to town and
will open a grocery and jewelry
store in the McCrory building
south of C. B. Cook’s grocery.
We welcome them in our midst'
and hope this will only be a be
ginning to get more Saltillo peo
ple to move to our town. There is
room here to do wonders.
Last week, we inadvertently
failed to notice the return of Mr.
and Mrs. E. L. Hamilton and
their sweet little daughter Fan
nie. They had spent several
weeks enjoying the hospitality of
the old Kentucky, the Blue
Grass State. To say they enjoyed
themselves is putting it very
mildly. People in Kentucky
were surprised to see such
healthy looking people come from
what they term the swamps of
Arkansas, but if they were to see
Dr. Neal, Dave Burkett. Bob
Smith, E. T. Wherry, H, T. Ran
ey, or even the News man, they
would abandon the heresy of
swamps and seek the true relig
ion of a great and glorious com
monwealth, the grand old State
of Arkansas.
Our town is slowly but surely

the City Barber Shop is a credit
to our tov:n well ae to the pro
prietor John Phillips. Two el
egant chairs with furniture to
match and the supply of bottles
with the necessary contents to
make a barber ehop complete,
makes one feel ae if cit y life- was
dawning on our village. Here’s
three cheers for KcGroiy and
its enterprising citizens. We
have citizens, who cannot see be
yond their little cap-bands., for
such we have nothing but sym
pathy. They need o^ r most care
ful attention. They need to take
a teaspoonful of ant.iselfishncss
every five minutes until their tor
pid liver sees daylight and then
as a stimulating tonic, the doctor
would prescribe a tableful of
wholesouled liberality and Chris
tianity. With such a treatment,
we will have a healthy citizenship
and all will work in harmony for
the good of the entire communi
ty.

We noticed a man became a
raving maniac on account of his
religious beliefs. Such men have
our sympathy. They need mort
light; more common sense; more
reason. Before the Bcorching
.rays of fact and reason, thought
and knowledge, creeds and cults
fade away in the mystic realms
of everlasting exile, Dfenomina
tionalism saves no man. Nothing
but the strictest obedience to
the immutable and everlast
ing laws of God can save a man.
