Tn company with three or four other boon companions living in Gardens Bottom, in Yell county, came over to Atkins last Saturday and it seems they imbibed pretty freely of "corn juice" aud as is common with drunk men they quarreled on their way back home. They crossed the river about l2 o'clock at night and when they landed on the other side Huckabee and Marrow en- gagged in fist and skull fight. Their companions took the precaution to take all their knives. as they thought, away from them to prevent serious results. After few knocks had been passed Marrow broke and run saying he was cut. Huckabee pursued him some dis tance striking at him with knife he had kept concealed. Marrow went to negro's cabin near by bleeding pro- fusely from wound in his arm. It was soon discovered that he was severe ly cut across the wrist, the main artery being cut. A doctor was immediately sent for and arrived in about an hour but was unable to stay the blood, and Marrow bled to death. He died in about four hours, after the wound was inflicted Huckabee escaped into the woods but was hunted down and ar- rested soon Sunday morning, and now lies in jail at Dardanelle.

promised much and death cut away the promise. It IS sad to see the young die. We know their purity, their goodness, and their cheery hopes, but we always prefer them to live. No mother and no father loves to sec his loved child pass away al
 though it be to bliss. We who have lived many years are tile ones that apparently ought to tread the dismal path of death. But our reasoning does not change the facts. The young die and they dle Tn peace. One greater than man has said "of such is the kingdom of heaven" Grace lived long enough to win the highest place in the affections of her parents. Upon herthey placed their hopes and around her was bullded their labors in life. The father laid every plan with it's essence in her and the mother applauded the act. She died and they are desolate. She died pure and good. She died with the same gentleness that she had lived. In the arms of grandma Will hams, her Uncle Urb, her cousin Sue and her loved playmate Charlie Hale, she now sings heavenly music in the great beyond. From a celestial at mosphere she sends down inspiration for those she left. To mother and father and brother she beckons and woos them to her. She is their tie to heaven and has made the rugged pathway less rough and has planted along it's sides many flowers. She carried light and life to many hearts while living and that light and life remains to cheer those hearts when away. Where is she? Out in the great world of Gods clean spirits en- toying eternity. Out in the regions where liberated souls take unlimited pleasure in the presence of God. Out in the realm where millions of white robed children make music at the feet of God. Out In the house no hand has touched but whose maker and builder is God. Out among harper and hallelujahs. Out among children and christians. Out among her brothers and sisters-God's ehil
 dren, the redeemed of the world. She is there. Jesus has said it and we must meet her. For the stricken mother this is tho balm of Gilead and tue healing charm. Let her lift her head and shout. There is no joy greater than that your child is eternally at rest, We drop tears with her but they are tears of glad ness. We loved her too--not so passionately as she, but fondly and truly. We hated to see her go, but we would not call her back. Her life was right here and her lot is better there. Cheer up, mother. Lift your eyes to the skies and cry for joy that your daughter is there. Touay she is bathing her littlo wea. ry limbs in the ripping waters that outflow from the throne of God; to. morrow she will bask in an eternity of joy. Peace, mother, the reunion will be sweet. The little spirit still cries Mamma" oyer the battlcments of bliss and mamma must go, as Of old, to the voice of the child. "Papa, I'se lootin' out for you was song she loved to sing and how true it IS. God bless the fathers and mothers

Never in the history of amuse-

ton gained throughout the county
so quick and great popularity as
this great Panorama. This institu-
ton has been visited during the
last year by nearly three-quarters OF
million people, and is doing to-day
the largest business of any Pano-
rama existing throughout the world.
1t is the first and only Panorama
representing an episode of our late
Civil War. The spectator steps
from Wabash avenue, where the
building is located, upon Americans
greatest battlefield. He is placed
in the center of the union troops in
action, and views in the most vivid
manner possible the Battle OF
Gettysburg, as it really took place on
July 8, 1868.
Do not fail to visit it while in
Chicago. Take the cable car to
Gettysburg Panorama Place, on
Wabash avenue.
