Death of Capt. P. Pennywit.

Our old and esteemed friend Capt. PnIrIIr
PENNYwIr, Is dead. For many years citizen
of Van Burcn-he was one of our most enter.
prising and successful business men. Since
the close Of the war he has resided with Mr.
c. G. Scott at Little Rock. We find in the
daily Little Rock Republcoa, of the 9th, the
following notice of the "old Captain" :"
DxAra OK Az 9tD AsRp EdfNfnER ~ GhES
that Captain Phillip Pennywit died at the
residence Of Mr.. Chas. G. Scott in this CITY
this morning at 4 AS in the 10Th year of his
age.
Capt. Pcnnywit was born in the Shenandoah
Valley. Virginia, and at an early day, before
stcamboating had fairly commenced on the
Mississippi riyer,was supercargO of keel boats,
plying between Cincinnati and New Orleans,
Louisiana. floating them down and cordelny
them back to the place of starting. He built
the first steamboat ever constructed i'm Gin
cinnati which was called by the name of that
city and in 1926 came to Arkansas as master
Of the steamer Facility with which he ascend
ed the river-the third trip that had ever been
made up 10 that date. lie continued in active
and successful steamboat life until Al. when
he retired from that occupation and engaged
in merchandising and manufacturing at Van
Buren and Fort Smith, until interrupted BY
the late war The firm of phillip Pennywit
q Co.. and subsequently "Pennywit, Scott &
Co.." was widely known throughout the State
for years, and the pioneer boatman proved
not less efficient in manufacturing flour and
importing goods than in rigging sail or ply
ing an oar.
The deceased in his prime possessed vast
fund of energy, and by his integrity and per-
severance he won the highest success in busi-
ness way. together with the confidence and
esteem ofthe many with whom long and ac-
tive life had thrown him in contact.
The Captain as he was familiarly called. was
q bachelor, and during the last twenty years
he was member of the family of Mr.. c. G..
Scott. \ stroke of paralysis had rendered
him an invalid for the last two years Dur
ing his prolonged illness he received the most
tender care and attention that loving hands
could bcstow. The last sad rites to one of the
relies ola generation gone By. will take place
Tomorrow ut II o'clock, from Mr. Scott's resi-
dence.

All who desire the prosperity Of the state
and who feel satisfied that no good can come

delight. at the sight Of 80 many Of the citizens
Of Crawford County as were present at the
meeting on Saturday last. The people are
arousing and the thunder Of coming numbers
are distinctly heard In the distance. The
doom Of Rallcalism in Crawfprd, Is sealed
When the ballot box Is again opened In this
County new turn will be given to our poll

an overthrow. They have finished the pit
they will soon fall into. The people have
opened their eyes to the error they committed
ia intrusting power to acarpet-bag adventur-
er and Ofiice-seeker. They see how soon he
tergets his promises Of reform, retrcnchment,
etc. by his creating 30 many new and useless

'YcN s@isk standard opposed 70 Uni.
versal Negro Suffrage.


We ARE pleased TO notice IN the S,asdar,l
ofthe lith, that II takes strong grounds IN OPP
position to Negro Suffrage. The Editor sees
that the attempt 10 negroize the Southern
States, Is obnoxious To the great masses Of the
people North aud South-.and that any party
sustaining the principles of Negro Equality,
will h. swept from the face OF the earth. Our
space. will only permit US to make few ex-
tracts:
There Is no necessity. common sense or
reason. why the whole mass Of illiterate me-
groes should he showed along all at once and
clothed with the ballot. IL will only work
mischief 10 the Ieacc and good order OF the
state. There are very few indeed Of the whites
Who are prepared and are willing TO sanction
a state of affairs which will lead 10 a condition
OF SOCIAL EQUALITY of the races. Tn. God OF
nature has implanted in our bosoms an In
stinct which revolts at such an idea. That
universal negro suffrage would force upon us
such state Of facts, no one can deny. We
have only To look at Tennessee, Alabama ard
Louisiana where the negroes are a power and
controlled by ambitious white men, who, for the
sake Of power and place, yield to the demand
Of the negro vote. Hence laws are nasse! 70
'phiptl tbliiilun 'dili'iN 10 tdffN UfETpe, over
railroads and on steamboats, on the same foot
ing with whites. and to compel hotel keeper.
to do the same thing.
IL appear. TO us the white man who owed
his election 10 negro votes, aud who took hi,
seat in \ legislative body by the side of negro
., could do nothing less than bestow
all the foregoing privileges on the blacks
Then let no one deceive himself The white
man who votes for universal negro sufitage
votes for negro social equality. Are the peo-
pie of Arkansas prepared for this! Did the
loyal Arkansiar. .when he enlisted In the union
army To uphold the old flag. and to preserve
the union of the States intact, for one moment
believe he was so soon to be invited TO such a
feast as negro rule, and negro social equality"
II will be recollected that the STANDARD, was
indorsed AS the organ ofthe Radicals of Craw-
ford. at their meeting recently. We have all
along insisted that the great mass of the white
men that voted the Radical ticket at the last
election were not for Negro Suffrage. The
appearance Of quite a number of Union SOL
diers, at the meeting on Saturday is another
evidence that the people-Fed and Confed-
on this question are all right. They are for
the white man all the time. Let all opposed
to Negro Supremacy be of one mind. In
81 uion there IS strength"

The Boy" is dead The restless hearts stilled-
It's fierce ambition, recklessness and pride,
And all the sweeter attributes that thrilled
With passions fervsncy intensified.
His was no singing -birds meIfuous note,
Whose cadence soft the heart enchanted heard;
But, trumpet-toned, the ambient air il smots
And TO its deepest depths the spirit stirred.
Even the dulcet strain that love might breathe
COuched tendery, in accent soft and low
Was warm with smoldering fires that burnt be-
meath,
limiting Of lava and the cratsr's glow.
His wss the song that nerved the patriots hand
When wars fell clangor rang DER earth and
main;
He gave himself to his adopted land,
And stroye the periled Union TO maintain.
But when the note Of strife was haply hushed,
And all the tumult found q glad s1rUeAse,
His was the song that with grand fervor gushed,
To welcome In the reign of sovereign peace,
Old strife ignored bis hand was outward held
To grasp the hand that lately met his Own,
On ba tie nelds, by deadliest hate impelled,
Forgetting war when wars fierce blast was
blown.
His vas the csustic pen that ever sought
To prick the bubble Of a vain preteuse;
BE strove by song, With wit and satire frsught,
To Danish wrong and bold Incompetence.
But, with genius free as birds in May,
He'd leave, a. times, the touch Of meAner things
And In the smpler ether soar away
On Poesys most subimsted wings;
Or strike some tuneful strain, the humble ear
Could hear, and treasure iron the darling
boy
The one beloved. who fsin life's pah would cheer
By strewiDg along the hoEers Of hope and joy.
Now, stiled the hand that struck the living Tyre
Dead 10 all life, all honor. and all pain
Quenched at It's hight the intellectual fire!
Fallen 10 earth the proudly cherlshed fame
But not forgOtten-no mere memory
To fade away as lesser ones have flown;
For death. 10 such, IS not TO cease TO be,
But still to live 10 deeds as firm as stone.
