Ark. Gazette April 6, 1899: Warren, Arpil 5 - The
municipal elections held here yesterday resulted as
follows: For mayor, E. N. Wilson; for aldermen, J. T.
Beard, J. R. Quinney, J. A. Shirey, S. M. Davis, R. F.
Powers; for recorder, W. T. Thompson; for treasurer,
S. W. Wheless.

Wilson & Hurley, dating from 1891, is a consolidation
of E. N. Wilson, grocer, and of J. F. Hurley, grocer,
both of whom began at this place in 1890. As
authority in the premises they come under two heads,
that which applies to the country, Mr. Wilson before
his advent in this trade having been engaged in
farming, and that which applies to the morals of the
place, Mr. Hurley, though a young man, being at the
head of the Christian Endeavor movement which
flourishes wonderfully here at Warren. This is
exclusive of their business opportunity. Mr. Hurley
in particular being an intelligent hustler who makes
and keeps friends, while Mr. Wilson is the "heavy
weight" compensating balance of the firm. They do a
business which upon the whole aggregates $12,000 to
$15,000 annually. Mr. Hurley is from Monticello, this
State, and has been identified with Warren three
years. Mr. Wilson is from Georgia, and before coming
here had lived in an adjoining county [more likely
Drew Co.!!] thirty years.
