Death of Maj. David West.

Editor of the DHMoCRAT.-It is with pain and sorrow we are again called upon to mourn and lament the demise of one of the most venerable, noble and respected citizens of our county.
 At o'clock, a. m., on Thursday the 18th day of May, A. D. 1880, at his resi- dence near Dover, Pope County, Ark, Maj. David West departed this life, aged S8 years, 4 months and days, full of golden years, honor, virtue, and spotless integrity, possessing in an em- inent degree all the social and essential requisites necessary to constitute tho true, good and perfect man. Genial and pleasant at all times. He WAS the life and wit of good humor, and had the fascinating power of entertaining with his wsll.timsd anecdotes and jests tho attention of those at all times in whose company he was thrown. Ever welcome guest at home or abroad. Greatly esteemed and universally ad- mired for his suavitv of manners, his goodness of heart, and his gentlemanly and honorable department throughout a long and eysntful life. None knew him but to honor. admire and respect him. He is the last of thirteen mem bers (save one vet living) who petition cd for . dispensation and organised Dover Lodge No. IT, A. F. & A. M., at Dover, Pope County, Ark. He was \ volunteer soldier in tho U. s. A. in the war of 1912 and served with honor and distinction at the battle of New Or leans under Gen. Andrew Jackson. He was captain of volunteer co npany of U. s. Infantry during the Mexican war in IS47. He was member of the legislature respectively of each of the States of Tennessee and Arkansas. He was County and Pro- bate Judge of Pope County, Ark. some years and held other prominent posi- lions, in all of which he discharged his duties promptly and efficiently with credit te himself and honor to his country.
 He was born in Swansboro, N. C., on the 9th day of January, A. D. 1792. He came to and settled in Pope County, Ark, in the year 1888.
 He leaves a most estimable and deep ly afflicted wife, several children, nn- merous relatives and large and exten- sive circle of friends to mourn his de- psrtures
 The writer of this small tribute and sketch of his history had known him long and we'll for many years as q neighbor and q devoted friend of "auld lang syne," and fully realizes the se- were loss to his country, his family and friends, with and to whom he extends his heartfelt sympathy and sorrow in their sad aflliction and bereavement.
