We were pleased to meet in our eff1ce
Tuesday, our old friend, David w. Butt,
of Morristown. Mr.. Butt was a resident
of our place several years ago and is
we'll known by some of our citizens.
He was here with view to locating and
opening a tin and stove house. He is
an experienced workman in tin, and we
learn has made arrangements to go into
business here. We welcome him among
us again.-Stoeettoate Democrat
We regret to lose the citizenship and
society of neighbors like Mr.. Butt, but
we are glad to know that he has located
in so attractive place and among such
clever people as abound in Sweetwater.
One and all will find him and his family
an aquisition to their town of which
they may we'll feel proud. His indus
trious, upright gentlemanly demeanor
during his residence here has won for
him the respect and confidence of all
who have had business or social trans
actions with him and not one of them
but sincerely trusts that he and his
family may have health and prosperity
in their new home.

Speaking for one of your contempt
raries we would modestly remark that
we were induced to that style Of SPELL
ing the word nearly forty years ago, a
period, probably, before the editor of the
Herald was architecturally dreamed of.
Somewhere about that time it was our
privilege to overhear the learned and
venerable DIR. Anderson, then President
of Maryville College-and he was emf
nently fit for the place-speak of his fruit

village paper, the MaryvIlle East ZsnRes-

subject impressed itself upon our mind
and has ever since induced us to follow

members of the press, who held him
 in high estimation. In November 1877, iug to practical ill health he retired from the> active duties oi newspaper life, but by word and ac- tion encouraged the proprietors of this paper in their labor in it's inter- est. He was the last and youngest of fonr brothers who emigrated to this country years ago. Major Sparks was true friend, and his friendship was lasting. He was quick and impulsive, but harbored no i'll feelings against those who he thought, had injured him. With the death of Major Sparks the Herald loses its best friend, the commun- itv one of its most active members, and Fort Smith one of it's most hon. ored citizens; and out of respect to his memory this paper appears in mourning-a mute reminder of the loss of it's former veteran editor and proprietor. Peace to his ashes, and may the sod rest lgthtly on his grave.

THATINyEsTIG ALTON.

THAT INVESTIGA ALTON. From the Little Rock Democrat, 9th.
 The committee continued it's labors yesterday afternoon, commencing with Col. Logan II. Roots, President of the Merchants National Bank, who, prior to the arrival of our re- porter, had testified that Major Peek came into the bank with Mir. Holi- field, representing him as 2 friend who had swamp land scrip to dispose of, and that he was friend and wanted to help him.
 Question-W there anything connected with the visit to your office that would lead you to believe that there was any improper transaction.
 Col. Roots-No, sir. No such i'm pression was left on my mind; but busy as 1 was, remember Major Peek was anxious to please this gen tleman.
 Chairman Fishback-I write your reply Gas above), and if not right, you can correct it.
 Mir. Braley-I have it this was
 Mr. Fishback-Don't bother me- Read the reply, as above.
 Col. Roots-Well that will do.
 Mir. Thomas When MaJor Peek and Mr Holiield came into the office did Major Peek say to you that this man is to have $500, meaning Holi field? Did you say that if Major Peek says there are $500 for you it is here for you, Major Peek is re sponsible2
 Col. Roots-There is only one an swer to that question. It is, mo- There is but one answer to the ques- ton. think it would be proper to state why I can speak positive. It is because there was no money there subject to Major Peek's order.
 Mir. Holifeld-Did you tell me he (Peek) was reliable2
 Col. Roots--I do not remember that portion of the conversation, but think it lroDabie 1 did so state.
 Mir. Thomas-In making that statement, did you desire to convey tue impression he was reliable flnan- cially, or as a gentleman? Audible smiles.
 Col. Roots-I wish first to state, that do not remember to have made tine statement, but if l did it was in connection with an impression that he was talking about the value of scrip; and believing that he would not misrepresent, l would very like ly have said that his representation would be correct.
 Mfr. Holiiield-Can you recollect one word that passed between us was said by Peek or myself, concern ing scrip, one single word? If you can't there's no use in telling it.
 Col Roots T do not think Mir. Hoiileld spoke to me once while in the room after passing the courtesies Of introduction.
 Mr. Holifleld--Did Peek say l had scrip or he had it?
 Col. Roots-He represented MT. floIilield as being friend having scrip and wanting money. Aside to Mir. Holifeld. There couldn't have been much said during the short time we were in there. Mir. Holified-No, sir; l know every word that was said,
 Mir Holiileld- Did you hear Peck speak to me while Tn the bank?
 Col. Roots-Not that I now re. member while I was in there. l went out.
 Mr. Holifeld-I think you were in there about twenty seconds, you say sixty; you barely spoke to me.
 MT Fishback -Is that all? Any other gentleman desire to ask q question:
 There were no other questions and at the request of Col DuVal, attor- ney for Major Peek, the evidence was read.
