in the city of Pine Bluff, Arkansas,
in tue early part OF this month.
1t will be remembered by the
elder citizens Of our town and
throughout this county, that the
deceased was formerly, and for
many years, one Of the most promi-
nent and respected citizens of TIP
pah county, He was at one time a
very successful planter on the wa
ters OF Muddy; and it as been SAID
of him, that he could raise more
cotton per acre, and with the same
number of hands and mules, than
any other mar who has ever farmed
in this section. Afterwards he was
a prominent dry goods merchant
in Ripley, but, owing to his gener-
osity and confding disposition.
failed to succeed AS we'll, in this
business, as he had done while

that this has been the experience
of too many men for the good Of
this country.
