 DlED-At her residence in Ashley county, Ark, on the 10th September, Mrs. MARTHA w., consort of Mir. Gideon Reese.
 Mrs. Reese was born in Tuscaloosa CO.,. Ala, the Dist of December, 1921. She protessed faith in Christ at the early age of sixteen, and joined the Methodist church. After she removed to this county she joined with her husband the Cumberland Presby- terlan church, in which connection she re- mained until death called her to her long home.
 Mrs. keese's piety was of that consistent and elevated character so we'll calculated to eXemplliy, amid the pressing cares and du- ties of an active live the religion of Christ.
 She was benevolent without ostentation, charitable almost to q fault, always kind and generous to the poor and suffering She lived the life of christian and died the death of the righteous. For many days before her exit, her physical suAerings were of an intense character, but she bore 1t all with christian tortitude The church has lost a valuable member, society an ornament, the community an esteemed neighbor and friend.
 We deeply sympathize with the husband and children in their sad bereavement, but we are confident that "our loss is her eter- nal gain"
 "They who die in Christ are blest-
 Ours be then no thought of grieying.
 Sweetly with their God they rest,
 All their tolls and troubles leaving:
 So be ours the faith that saveth,
 Hope that evey trial braveth,
 Love that to the end endureth,
 And through Christ the crownsecureth."

 In Lavacca county, Texas, on the 11th day of October, 1859, aged ninety years, Major EZRA OWEN, formerly resident of this county. INpExEp
 Major Owen was born in Halifax county, Va., on the 17th day of March, 177O.- When youth he went to the "dark and bloody ground" as Kentucky was then called, where he fought the Indians, and with Daniel Boone protected the small frontier settlements. In 1909 he moved to Kaskasia, H., with his family. He was well known there and rendered his country important services as ranger. In 1925 he came with his family, to Little Rock and resided here until 1S46, when he em- grated to Texas. He was type of those bold, adventurous pioneers, whose lives are unwritten romances. An honest, fearless and patriotic spirit, prompt to serve his country and his friends, he lived to see the wilderness of Kentucky become a pround and flourishing Slate; the territory of Ar kansas settled up. and rapidly rising to greatness and the once foreign domain of Texas added to the American Union. The death of such man deserves more than a passing notice. He was one of the links that bound the present to the past and type of American energy, bravery and pa triotism. A true democrat, he never voted other than the democratic ticket; patriot, he never refused to serve his country when his services were required. Peace to his ashes.
 At the residence of John Clems, on the morning of the l1th of November, 1859, in Hot Spring county, Ark, WILLIAM HARVEY GLEN, only son of J. c. and Mar tha Clem, aged years, } months and 13 days. Man cometh forth like flower and is cut down, he feeth also as shadow and con- tinueth not, the resistless and fierce harvest CT of all of woman born insatiate, tireless and never resting death, is ever reaping; he reaps on land and sea. A sweet and delicate flower did he cut down and gather into the garner of mortality, in the person of the bright little boy, whose fall we sadly mourn, yet we have hope both sure and steadfast, knowing that death has but trans planted him in richer soil, for the Great Harvester's immortality, when the blessed angels shall bind up the sacred sheaves, and chant in heavenly numbers the harvest home of all the stainless and puain spirit. By this glorious hope, may his bereaved parents be soothed and sustained, may they look to the Father of mercy and the God | of all comfort, for He alone can strengthen and bind up and heal the bruised and broken
