Another old landmark is gone. Old Uncle Lige Truitt, so long and well known by the citizens of this county, passed away on last Sunday. He has been confined to his bed for a long time but he is released at last. He came from Tennessee to Arkansas at an early day and settled at Norristown where he has been living from the first. He lead an honest and industrious life, and leaves behind him many friends who mourn his loss. He also leaves the wife who has so long stood by his side in the battle of life. We extend sym pathy to the bereaved ones, and especia' ly to this neatriarch whose sun IS also dipping low towards tie other shore.

duced Hon. %. icrrcll, the Democratic

mastcrly speech, in which he reviewed
the issues of the day, state aud NATIONAL,
in an able and eloquent speech, which
ELECTED rounds Of applause.
Mr.. X. =. kinhrough, candidate
for representative, next addressed
the meeting, AMI IN an
able and comprehensive speech, hand
led matters pertaining 10 the state and
its future welfare. He spoke of our
corporation laws and recommended that
chartered companies be formed only
for public and quasi public purposes.
lie favored the formation OF 4 Crimi-
nal district court TO DO in session all the
time and made a plausible argument
showing that such a court WAS nrccs-
sity. He claimed that instead of in
would lessen the same, a. our iuilS
would be kept clean, comparatively
speaking, and criminals would not go
unwhipped OF justice rs they do to-
day byEreason of long cOntiuuauccS.
The lease-law, which no favored with
some amendments, was discussed by
the speaker in an able manner. lie
favored making burglary pcnitcntiary
offonse for life, and was or the opinion
ceBled weapons ought to be
made felony, but II that could not be
done, make 10 II all otGense for from
thirty to ninety days, with fac suili-
cient to pay the offenders board VIII le

cuSsed. lie favored making the county
surveyor eX-utiiciU county road cngi-
ncer, and dividing the counties into
road precincts, and election or appoint
meut by tho ommissoner's court, APP
pointing road overseers in each pre-
cinct. Then we would have a system,
first tho engineer, then tie county COM
mis'ioners, ending with tho oversocr.
He showed that beginning next
April We would have S25,OOO
or more to cXpend on
roads and bridges, and their efficiency
and system should characterize its eX-
penditurs. Mr.. Marlborough spoke of
other matters, rhlch the reporter did
not fully catch, Ut his effort was bust
nsss-li ike and to the point, and he made
good impression on those who heard
him. The meeting was success i'll
