An anthem for the dead!
And many a flowery wreath
To deck the dust Ger glorys' bed,
For those who sleep beneath!
An anthem to their MEM 'ries sing.
And here your floral tributes bring.
Come, sisters, once again,
A fair and loving band,
And honor. now. your brothers slain
The martyrs of your land!
Once more assemble at the graves
OF silent heroes, fallen braves
Recall their glories past.
And think OF them with pride.
For they were loyal to the last,
And for their country died!
They fought and bled for us, of yore,
And they shall live forevermore!
They live upon tn historic page;
Their deathless memories are
The themes of poet and Of sage,
Who hail them from afar!
And strangers view their glories fled.
And honor still our Southern dead!
Theirs was indeed. an early doom,
But, ah a glorious one!
For honor hallows still the tomb
OF every martyred son.
And on the gilded lists of fame
They have bright, immortal name!
They stood in battles stern array,
A fearless band and true;
And there the boys that wore the gray
Fought With tie boys In blue!
Whil" either side maintained the fight,
win equal valor, fearless might.
Aid II among our Southern slain
A Northern soldier lies,
Unhonored let him not remain.
Who died meath Southern skies!
But think upon him with the rest.
And be his grave as fairly dressed.
For many Southern soldier sleeps
Where Northern willows wave.
And there some kindred spirit weeps
Above his lonely grave!
Some tender heart to memory Just,
Perchance hath sighed above his dust.
Yes. some have perished far away,
Where Northern fields appear,
And in the faded suits of gray.
They slnmber sweetly there!
And numbered with the brave and true,
Perhaps their graves are honored too.
Y.
An anthem for the lead,
Your mournful tributes yield
To ali who nobly fought and bled
On many a battle field.
Their former triumphs now recall
And bcalitify the graves of all.

gI~ The Ozark Banner edited in part
by a lady of refined taste and education,
after copying the stinging rebuke of the
Fort Smith New Era, to Yeatman, of the
Alma Herald, the retailer of bawdy-
house slang, has this to say The
above well-merited rebuke reflects the
views eff nearly all the newspapers in
the State. The language made use of
by the editor of the Alma Herald shows
either depraved taste in the choice OF
language, or else he allowed his anger to
supersede his reason. Such expressions
as made by him are unjournalistic and
indecent, and should be frowned down
by the entire press"
ANoTHER.-The Fort Smith New Era
rasps the Alma Herald for using Ian
guage unbecoming a journal. Such Ian
guage is good evidence of the writer's

ity to find an argument strong enough
to represent his ieelings.-Des Arc Citi.

Those latter for time protected them from the
heat of the lnrid James, The wreck finally
drifted ON o sHnd-bar near the southern shere,
when men, women and children got into the
river, the water being waist deep, and
waded ashore. Another FIVE minutes OF
delay and the loss Of life would
have been appalling. Getting ashore,
fire was built In The woods, where the women
dried their soaked garments, and the men per-
formed the same service under the river bank
near by. While the boat drifted across the river,
many women, nearly frantic. wanted to jump
into the water, but by the watehful efforts OF
Osptain Nowland and Mate Powers, ell were kept
on the deck until the boat lodged, and the cap
tain told them to go overheard. One Of Captain
NowlandH children was saved by its mother, and
the other by the texas-tender. A hatbeat was
obtsined, and the shipwreoksd people made their
way to Terrene. opposite the mouth Of White
River. In 1t they were over twenty.fsur hours
on very seant rations Of pork and crackers. A
fine supper was prepared at the mouth Of White
River for the sufferers, and the steamers that

steamship Diego, Capt. Gastanager, for Liver

Gotten seed and 100 bbs cotton seed oil, which is
probably the largest clearance by steamer on
record at this port. Before the present solid
