Ark. Gazette Nov. 16, 1893, Rison Nov 14 - While Rison is not on a boom, according to the common idea, it is steadily and substantially on the up grade in the way of improvement. We now have twelve business houses, two good hotels, one blackmith and work shop, two large church houses, Methodist and Baptist; one first-class high school, real estate and abstract office, one newspaper office, Cleveland County Herald, and a good court-house and jail. On Sunday night Rev. Edward A. Tabor closed a series of Gospel lectures on "Our Country in Peril, or the Problem of Young Men." His lectures were delivered in a forcible and logical manner, by which a large percent of the people who heard him were impressed with the importance of a high standard in social and religious life. Our young people should be taught along these lines just as Mr. Tabor is doing so. In connection with other matters, it is gratifying to note that our people are recovering from the financial shock which so threateningly overspread the country a few months ago, and that perhaps they have learned the importance of providing more of the necessaries of life at home. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
