Calvin Bland was arrested here
last week under a charge of bigamy.
It is stated that he was married here
once before to a woman who at the
Lime had a living husband. The first

uannot see it in this light, hence the
prosecution, All the parties are
colored.

On the 19th of October, 1!KJ(?, the

On October 21st, her remains vere
aid away to rest in the Carter cemjtery
near Daisy. She leaves a husband
and seven children, besides
i host of friends and other relatives
,o mourn her departure.
Her illuess only lasted about
light days and did not seem serious
in til a few hours before she died.
She was united to the Methodst
church at Rehoboth in early life,
*here she remained a consistant
nember until called away by the
jord who knoweth best and dooth
ill things well. Her superior useulness
has been realized by many in
.his vicinity. We feel assured that
>ur dear fiiend and mother is a
bright angel in heaven, sitting
iround God's white throne, sweetly
esting in the Saviour's love. T:
?eems that it is always the sweetest
lower that is plucked first, but the
[jord knew best and has taken her
i way Yet if she was with us again
iow glad we would be. The joy is
burs ol knowing that when life's
lark day is ch-nr we will meet her
n the land of many mansions bright
ind fair. Yes, we are satisfied she
s through with the trials and dis
ippointinents of this sinful world,
\nd groujied with the angels on the
ight hand of God. Dear friend wo
annot call you back, but oh how
Mid to be separated for life with only
/our dear image enshrined in our
learts to remind us of your animated
presence
She was 41 years of age. She
possessed qualities which many
others do not possess. She delighted
in making her friends and neighbors
feel pleasant when in her company.
She was loved by all of her
icquaintances. Oh how hard1 to
part from a loving friend and kind
aiother. There is a sad gloom cast
bver the home of the breaved family
to which we extend our heart felt
sympathy.
Truly we can say,
A loving one from is gone,
A. voice wo loved is stilled,
A place made vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
May we all find a home in heaven
vhen our earthly work is done.

ALMOST A DISMAL FAILURE
WAS THE MEETING CALLED l?Y
MAYOR SMITH.
Wo. as Citizens. Should Take More
Interest in Municipality -Tlie Mu nicipality
But a Reflex of tlie
Character of Its Citizenship
The meeting of citizens called for
last Wednesday evening by Mayor
Smith for the purpose of consultation
regarding matters looking toward
the internal improvement of the
citv of Conwav. was not. whsit it
was expected to be in enthusiasm,
numbers and in results. In fact it
barely escaped being a dismal failure
in these respects, yet it cannot
be said that the meeting was entirely
devoid of interest and good.
The meeting, as the Herald undcrstai.ds
it, was called for a specific
pur]?ose, the discussions of matters
in which every citizen, no matter
how rich or poor he may be, should
take a lively interest, and should exert
himself in furthering every
laudable undertaking tending toward
the advancement of all the varied
departments of the city government,
for as the municipality progresses
so will its citizenship. The one is
but the reflex of the character of the
other and as a general proposition
the habits of the citizenship can be
judged by the condition of the public
utilities of the municipality, because
as wild as the statement may
appear to the thoughtless and unconcerned
about these matters, yeti
to the thoughtful student of passing
and coming events, which
almost invariably cast their shadows
before, there is a fountain elTcrvesc
ing with reason and logic in support
of this statement that there never
was public undertaking for the public
good until that undertaking first
found birth in the demand for it by
public opinion. Hence, how important,
then it is for the citizens
of a municipality to interest themselves
in matters having for their
object the betterment of the conditions
of Conway, bet the citizens
create a demand for improved sanitary
conditions, improved streets,
puhlic buildings, and up to date
systems of electric and water works
for public and private use, and
other utilities necessry for the conveniences
of the citizenship and required
by a live, ambitious and progressive
city. A former council, in
response to the demand of public
sentiment, spent hundreds of dollars
in building a city for the dead, which
was along the lino of progress from
a practical point, of view as well as
from a sanitary one, the reasons for
which are too obvious to discuss at
this time Hut why not make pro
visions for the comfort, convenience
and happiness of the living? Why
not now create an active, healthy
sentiment in favor of internal improvements
such as those mentioned
above? Conway is no longer an
infant in swaddling cloths and pinafore.
It has long since outgrown that
stage of its existence, and has fully
entered the race for business and social
preferment and recognition mi
dor the most favorable conditions
and the brightest prospects for winning
and it only remains for us to
help ourselves for the fates to help
us. The present city fathers have
given us uti excellent opportunity
to help ourselves along these lines
Did v e improve that opportunity
by attending the meeting and with
our presence and counsel help start
the ball rolling, or were we laggards

Special Notice.
IN I OS F, who are due us for the
Paper are expected to pay up
during the fall. The Herald finds
it necessary to make larfte additions
to its mechanical out fit
to handle the increased and still
increasing subscription list and
job work. The present out-fit
was all tint was required when
the paper- had a thousand circulation
and less. The patronage of
the paper has increased until it
becomes necessary to print the
paper more quickly, and thechange
cannot bo made without
great expense. A county paper
is not a gold-mine, as everyone
knows, and lomakc such changes
as are now contemplated, requires
nerve as well as cash. So our
subscribers will catch tac point
when we say that we will need
nil t hoy can pay to help us out in
our elTort to tfivo thcin still a
better ]>aper tluvn wo have in the
past, and wo promise with their
help to furnish the readers in
Horrj county a home paper that
will be up to date in every respect.
So help us all you can in
November and December.
