u Capt James Howard. great
steamboat builder in Jeffersonvi:Ie,
Indiana, came to- his death recently
by drowning. His remains were in
tered in Cave Hill Cemetery, near
LouisxilIe, ky :, and more than 5o,-
900 people attended the funeral.
The Courter-JoafnaL contains the
following beautiful elegy:
He has launched his last boat and got in
IL alone, a
And sailed to that beautiful cline,
Where angels are waiting TO welcome
him home,
On the banks of the river of Time.
He will land himself in Eternity's port,
Then pull the boat out on shore,
And quietly walk through the beautiful
Gates,
And never come back any more.
We trust that some angel win show him
the way
That leads to the great throne of Grace,
Where God in his mercy will give him
a a seat y
And smile on his time-wrinkled face.
If ever man was true, honest and kind
We think it was old " Uncle Jim,"
And if God has home and crown for
good men,
7 He i'll certainly give them to him

The Reasons for Coming South.
LIST. The lives Of thousands who are
injuriously affected by the sudden
changes and extreme cold of Northern
winters, will be prolonged.
I'd. Considering the social, education
al and religious advantages, trstnsporta-
ton facilities, public improvements and
fertility of soil The lands are cheaper
here than in any other section Of the
country. s@
3D. Considering the cost of land and
expense of tillage, a much greater net
profit can be realized annually, in the
South, than is realized by the farmers in
any of the Northern States.
4th. Owing to the long and temperate
summers and mild winters, the South
ern farmer need never be hurried by his
work, but has ample time to carefully
and thoroughly cultivate his crops, and
prosecute successfully the other opera
tiOns OF the farm. For the business of
stock raising this feature is Of special
importance.
9th. The tide of emigration has turn
ed Southwark, and this section is des-
tined to become densely populated az
and manufacturing region.Sl

WHO WAS IT ?

A correspondent Of the Argus writing
under date Of May 9th says among other
things:
Under Radical rulc, we had our Coun-
ty scrip eounterteitcd or Duplicated. then
it was called in and re,issued, and then a
County supervisor bought up this Illegal
paper at Is to 90 cents, and had bonds
issued to himself for 1t, and now our
County has it to pay.
Who eoull the Supervisor be? Was it
p. G., Williams or was it p, S nccherd or
our present County Judge Creekmore or
was x.Judge IIarrcll or Mr.. IIatley.
These are all the Supervisors this Coun-
ty has ever had. This charge should
not be allowed to rest upon innocent
persons; and if there is any truth in the
charge it should be made public. Let
this correspondent and the editor of the
Argus be called before the grand jury and
tell what they know There has not
been term at court in Judge Mansfeld's
time that he has not charged the grand
jury to make dilligent inquiry into all
such cases. n

Hon. Jesse Turner.

On our visit to Little Rock, during the
last week, we had the pleasure Of neet
ing Judge Turner, that old and honored
citizen of Arkansas, and one of the prom
inent candidates for governor. Cur
knowledge and remembrance Of Judge
Turner goes away back to the days of
our early boyhood. He has had n wor-
thy and useful life, and hundreds and
thousands of his fellow citizens wish him
to be made chief executive. AS one of
the old Arkansas boys we have had great
pleasure in the honor and respect shown
to such men as Turner, Walker, and
Royston. There is no honor we would
not confer.-Lewtsbug State.
Er Among the distinguished resi-.
dents, here, at present, is the Hon. Jesse
Turner, one of the most prominent can
ddates named for the gubernatorial
chair Mr.. Turner is now an lonored
member Of the state senate, and is es,
tecmed wherever he is known. He is a
native of North Carolina, but came to
this state in 1881. He has never falter
ed in his devotion to the best interests
of the state, and is held in cordial appre-
citation everywhere. Mr.. Turner has fill
ed various stations, and would honor
any duties he might be called on to dis
charge. Hot Springs Telegraph,

II The Argus editors reply to our charge
Of wilMlly pcrverting the truth. in charging
ns with bolting democratic convention, is
worthy of pettifogger. We charged him
with an untruth. and he says we did attend n
township meeting. Yes we did. and found
that the radical party was well represented,
and we tried our best to prevent them from
taking part and voting, believing that they
had no business there. And one of them said
10 US. day or two after. that they had no
business there. but that they had been urged
to be there by Mr.. Wilcox and his friends, and
did so. Democrats have no right TO mettlle in
republican meetings and conventions to help
control them. and we do not iatend to sit qni-
etly and let radicals, not in sympathy with
