L Departed this life at the residence of his son. ln-law, Mir. 5. F. Smith, on the morning of the 29th October, 1858, 4Ir. ANTOINE BARRAoUE. sen, in the Seth year of his age Mir Bar.aque was horn on the 18th April. l"3, Tn the department of hhin Hautcs, France, near the Pyreenes mountains, and at a very early age sent to Paris 10 be edu atcd. There he enjoyed the best educational advan ages and completed full collegiate cou.se.- iis reading was very extensive and few men n our country were better critical scholars
 In the year 1916, he came to the United States, and at once adopted Arkansas AS his permancnv home. The subsequent year he married Miss Mary T. Dardenne, the worthy and respected lady who now survives him. Eleven chiliren of whom eight are living and .hree deceased were the result of this mar riage.
 Mr. Barraque has 50 long been identified with the social feeling of large communitv. that hIs death will perhap, De felt more widely as general calamity, than the demise of almost any other individual His frankness of man. ner, kindness of disposition and companiona- ole nature won him golden opinions, and en- deared him to the hearts of a large family.- 1 Few men who have outllved the allotted term ot human life retain the brilliant social oua- ties and amIable disposition that may have characterized their earler years; on the contrary, we are accustomed at finding moroseness of temper. and sourness cf disposition belong to those much advanced in years. The subject of this notice was In this respect remarkable ex- ccptlon Up to the hour of his death his mo- bIe and kind heart throbbcd with the same gen. erous impulses that marked his entire lfe Du- ring ,he progress of his severe and protracted hiS off l., on foolish words of murmuring or tones of com plaint escaped his lips. He would not have "rlucked death from the Makers hand"- When his life hung in suspense and he saw around him anxious friends and members of the family whose affections he knew and reciproca- ted and nearest of all, the wife of his bosom ali binding him to earth and offering all the happiness earth can bestOw--cven then, he cx- pressed the most perfect confidence in God and bowed in christian humility to his man. date.
 Thus he passed from earth with confidence and self possession superior to fear, calmly re- signing his spirit to the Gol who gave it. With him lic's duty isdone and the places which knew him once, shall know him no more, He has been summoned away by the order of Him who commands the armies of Heaven and the inhabitants of earth, whose hand none can stay, nor unto whom none can say what doest thou?
 It will be long ere we ara called upon to la. ment companion whose life was so genial so happy and pure. After an intimate acouan- tance and association 0t many wears with the deceased, have not an urkiud, an ungeuerous or an unchrstian remark of his to record. He was ever the fine old French gentleman we all delighted to meet, to honor and respect Let n ,nt Iis ,lo lo I.. those unto whom he was more Haat q tnhfY
