The Osceola times., 1882-05-27

In our column of announcement
will be found that of Mr.. J. w. Uz-
zell, present incumbent of the coun-
ty treasury, for reelection. Mr.. Uz-
zell is one of natures noblcmer, and
one of Mississippi county most wor-
thy and respected citizens. Plain
modest and unassuming, yet possess
ed OF bright and cultivated mind,
fully qualified to ill almost any po-
sition in life. He has served one
term as county treasurer, and dis
charged the duties of the Office in a
most acceptable manner, and will,
no doubt, be reelected by a solid
vote. When good, honest, upright
conscientious man is in position OF
honor and trust, he should be kept
there by all means. Such man is
J. w. Uzzell. This is our personal
and private opinion of the man, re-
gardless of the usual trimmings ac.
companying candidates announce
ments.
The Osceola times., 1882-05-27

IN an action brought by one c. b.
Clark, to recover on number of Pu-
laski County warrants (scrip,) Judge
McCreary of the U. S. Circuit Court,
has decided that the statute of limit
alton of five years, applies as well to
county scrip and bars recovery on
the same, as does it to any other, or,
private "promise to pay" thus plac-
ing counties on the same footing as
individuals in enabling them to avoid
the payment of their warrants, or
scrip, where the same are more than
five years old.
This decision may perhaps open
the eyes of some Of our citizens who
have been buying up old interest
bearing scrip and holding it up as a
good investment. After FIVE years,
that which before represented wealth
+ takes unto itself wings, and ;umbles
! like a thousand o bricks.

Hon. ii. M. McVeigI.

We are authorized by II. NJ. Me-
Weigh to state, that after the fullest
consideration, he finds it Impractical
BILE for him to announce himself as a
candidate for Governor. He thinks
it would not be right to announce
himself as a candidate for that posi-
ton, unless he intended to make "A
canvass, which his situation at this
time will not admit of his doing. He
wishes us TO assure his friends
throughout the state Of his grateful
appreciation of the good feeling they
have manifested for him; and also OF
his settled determination to stand by
and uphold the principles which he
has advocated in the past, until time
shall have searched and refuted them
as fallacious and impracticable; prin-
ciples which have so far resulted in
giving Arkansas an honored name
throughout the world. In this con-
nection we may add, speaking advis-
edly, that no candidate has been
more warmly endorsed for Governor
by the people and press, and he has
not himself, directly nor indirectly
solicited the support of a single indi-
vidual or paper in the state. The
encouragement he has received has
been purely voluntary, unsought and
unexpected on his part. But for the
crowd of misfortunes which have fall
len one after another on our people,
we know that he would have been
in the field with Berry, Stanley and
Duflie practically testing the strength
of the feeling in his favor. Still, he
is comparatively a young man, and
if he lives, may yet, at no distant day,
under more favorable circumstances,
find an opportunity to interview the
people of Arkansas face to face.
But should the convention when it
meets, encounter any difficulty in
agreeing upon a nominee, and in
consequence confer the nomination
upon him, he will accept it, and meet
the Republican nominee before the
people, an onerbus duty which he
will neither seek, nor decline, but
will be perfectly willing to see per-
formed by Berry, Stanley, Dufiie, or
any other good citizen. We have
all confidence in the wisdom and sa-
gacity of the coming convention.

Grider.Drivcr Case.

The case of Sue M. and w. II.
Grider against James ID. Driver was
about the last case that came up for
hearing at this term. We mention
cd this case when the suit was first
brought; it came up last Tuesday on
a motion filed by Mr.. Driver to dis
miss the injunction heretofore grant
cd in the cause; Mrs. and Mr.. Grider
were represented by Mess. Thomasou
& Edrington, Greer & Adams and
John O. Blackwood, and Mr.. Driver
by Mess. McVeigh & Semmcs, and
Lvles & Harris. All of Tuesday and
Wednesday were taken up IN
reading the pleadings and dispositions
in the cause. The motion to dissolve
the injunction was resisted by coun-
sci for plaintiffs on the ground OF
usury in the Trust deeds, and that
James ID. Driver was indebted to
them by way of rent for quarter
section of land which they allege he
took possession Of without right or
title while plaintiff, Sue NJ. was a
minor. Driver denied usury, and al
legged that he bought the land in
question from w. A. Erwin, the
guardian Of Sue NJ. Grider, then Sue
J. McGavocb, and that said sale was
made by order of the Circuit Judge
in vacation, and the sale afterwards
confirmed in term time, and Erwin,
guardian, ordered to make a deed.
The argument in the case was open
ed by Major S. S. Semmes for Mr..
Driver, who was followed by Geo.
w. Thomason and j. o. Blackwood,
Esq, for Mrs. Grider; Capt. II. NJ.
NcVeigh then followed for Mr.. d.,
and was replied to by Mr.. f. Fred.
Adams, and the argument closed by
Col. 0. p. Lyles, in behalf of the
motion to dissolve. Able speeches
were made by all the lawyers, and
those who did not hear them missed
a great treat. Finally on Friday
afternoon the Court rendered its de-
cree sustaining the injunction and
ordering the Clerk and master tc
take and state the account between
the parties and purge it of all usury
that he may find in it, should there
be any, and also ordering the Clerk
to pay over to James D. Driver, the
slS00,00 which was deposited with
the Clerk by Mr. & Mrs. Grider AT
the commencement of the suit.

On the Subject Of "DunnIng.v

Some people don't like to be "dunn-
ed" Now what is dunning.
The merchant, the manufacturer, or
the publisher of newspaper, for in
stance has accounts on his books against
some of his patrons. The accounts are
due or past due and not yet paid. He
needs his money, which those patrons
are carrying around in their pockets.
He either sees them personally or sends
them statements of their accounts,
showing the balance due him. He is
merely asking that what belongs to
him may be RENTED to enable him
to do what2 We will tell you. This
merchant, or this manufacturer or this
publisher has been "dunned." He
don't call it "dun,', but he might do
so with just as much propriety as do
his patrons. He receives q statement
every 80 or 60 days of his account
from the wholesale dealers Of whom he
has purchased his stock. He expects
it. 1t is q matter of business. 1t is a
fixed custom with Wholesale firms to
send these statements every 80 or 60
days. Does the merchant grumble
and call it "dunF" Not ut oil. The
bills are due and must be met. He
would no more take ofense ut receiving
q statement of his account than he
would to receiving an invitation to
dinner. He pays up and continues to
deal with the eamc firms that have
"dunned' him hundred times or
more. Now why should his patrons
take offense when they receive from
him a statement or a "dun," as they
are pleased to call it He is merely
doing as he is done by. And, yet, no
he isn't. He gives his patrons often
six months or years time, when he
gets only 80 or 60 days time. But

Baron Rothschild as a Bogcnr.

Eugene Delacroix, dining one day in
Baron James de Rothschild's hospit-
able home, fixed his eyes repeatedly on
his host in so searching a manner that
the latter could not help asking his
guest, when they left the dining room,
what it was that had to such degree
riveted his attention. Delacroix &c.

too great favor to ask the Baron to
sit for beggar?
Rothschild, who was fond of art
and not displeased to be reckoned
among its chief protectors, gracefully
assented to act part probably never
performed before by q millionaire, and
appeared next morning in the cele-
brated painters studio. Delacroix
hung tunic on his shoulders, placed
a tall staff in his hand, and assigned tc
him a posture, as if he were resting on
the steps Of an ancient Roman temple
In this attitude he was discovered
by young friend and pupil Of the
painters, who alone had the privilege
Of being admitted to the studio at all
times. Surprised by the excellence Of
the model, he congratulated his master
Oh having at last found exactly what
he wanted. Not for moment doubt

by his features, the young man, espying
moment when the artists eyes were
averted, slipped twenty franc piece
into the models hand. Rothschild
kept the money, thanking the giver by
look, and the young man went his
way. He was, us the banker soon
found out from Dclacroix, without for
tune, and obliged to give lessons in or

later the youth received letter, men,

that the accumulated interest of twenty
francs, which he, prompted by gener-
GUS impulse, had given to a man in ap-
pearance beggar, was lying at his
disposal in Rothschild's Office, to the
amount of 10000 francs, having borne
five hundred fold, like the seed in the
