Died.,

at Eureka Springs, Ark, Friday,
July 10, 1851, DAVID McCRAN1E, a
Citizen of Ouachita parish; born in
South Carolina, February 8, 1909.
Sorrow for the death of this aged
man is becoming the writer OF this,
and its most appropriate expression
would be quiet submission to the
natural law which terminated his
long and Industrious life. 1t was no
part of his nature to appear and be
more than quiet, good citizen, aud he
was in no respect DESTROYS of postum
nous praise. His exit from the walks
Of life, like his course living, was in
perfect keeping with this trait Of char
|acter, so that a peaceful life, though
not unmarked with affections and
hardships, found happily close, sub
missive and resigned. This event had
not been, for some years, unexpected !;
but was looked to, at each alarm,
with resignation and without murmur.
He was strong and brave in all these
trying emergencies. His visit to
Eureka Springs, was not undertaken
so much to prolong iife-its carly close
being fully anticipated-as to be rid
! of bodily pain. The long and tedious
Journey, after but a recent illness, was
too fatiguing for one so far advanced
i'm years. So the writer feared, but the
force of will and purpose which mark
ed Uncle Dawes acts, carried him for.
ward. The result was physical pros
[tration, and death. His remains were
brought to this city and inferred in the
Monroe Cemetery.
These few sentences will supply those
who knew DAVID MCCEANIE for
many years, with such information as
they will be most likely to seek con-
|cerning his death. It remains to be
said, in personal view, that he was
the uncle Of tho writer, and the
writer's brother, S. M. McCranie, and
that their father and mother died
while the former was a little boy and
the latter an infant. DAVID MC-
CRANE inherited his brothers BUSH
ness and the care of his two children
He was careful to educate these chill
|dren, and equally careful to teach them
Ito act like men. Whatever they have|
failed to do in following this council isl
due to no lack of discipline or care on|
the part of thcri deceased Uncle. The
task, for one who had no children him
self and was bachelor until his death
was not, perhaps, one without it's
trials ). but the writer is not doubtful
las to the satisfaction his dead Unclc's
efforts afforded him.

A sense of the imperfections of the
Constitution of 1879 is growing in every
section Of the State, and we feell sure
that before many months there will bel
so determined q demand for a conveu7
ton that it will be irresistible. The
Alexandria Democrat in an able article
on tho present judiciary system says !:
s'Thc Constitutional Convention of
1879 did many absurd things and did
some things which brought its name
into rcproach, but it did no more fool
ish and silly thing than in providing
for us such a bungleso,ne and useless
judiciary system. With the Constitu-
ton of 1852, to which the people were
anxious to return, before them as a
guide, they must needs try expert
ments. Their experiment has now had
a fair trial and if VIC mistake not the
people will demand a return to the old
landmarks. ''-N. O. States.
