■ Not many men are living now who served on a jury before which Lincoln pleaded, or who have stopped in the woods to chat with the great emancipator while he was splitting rails. Yet that was the experience of William Treadway who served in the Mexican war and whose father served with Washington in the Revolutionary war. Mr. Treadway has reached the allotted four-score-andten, and the story of his life reads like a chapter of American history.

BONO — It once housed the Bono Church of Christ, but soon the brick building at the corner of Church Street and Arkansas 226 will be home to about 30 mentally troubled children — a situation upsetting to neighbors. Methodist Family Health, a behavioral health service based in Little Rock, announced last week that it purchased the church and intends to open a children’s psychiatric care facility there by March. The center will serve up to 28 youths, ages 6-18, said Methodist Family Health Director Craig Gammon. Gammon has told residents that while some children at the center will have had “brushes with the law,” they won’t be considered dangerous offenders.
