WHILE so much is said by Mr.. Gar
lands enemies concerning his tele-
phone stock. it is not amiss to listen
to what be has to say. The attention
of Attorney General Garland being
called to a dispatch from New York
which stated that The World said that
the President had decided to ask Gar
land to resign, Mr.. Garland answered:
You may say that there is no truth
in the report so far as I have been ad
vised and it occurs to me that / should
know. You may further say" said
the Attorney General, "that the re-
ports that have received gifts of the
Pan Electric stock or am dOnee of
that company, are not correct. Peo-
pie seem to have forgotten my letter
to the President dated October ), 1885. "
Turning to that letter, the Attorney
General read this sentence: About
three years ago, l with some six or
seven other gentlemen, entered into
an organization known as the Pam
Electric Telephone Company based
upon what was called the Rogers in
vention. We formed that company
in good faith and started it in its ope-
rations." "You will see from this, !"
said the Attorney General, that l
was one of the original incorpOrators
of this company, and As such entitled
TO stock"

Death OF John II. Cough.

John B. Cough, the famous temper
anee lecturer, died at Frankford, Pa,
at 4:40 last Thursday afternoon, after
brief illness. He was stricken with
apoplexy while lecturing in the First
Presbyterian Church, Frankford,
district of Philadelphia. The church
was filled to overlooking in anticipa-
fioa of hearing Mr.. Cough. When
the orator appeared before his audi
ence he seemed to be in his usual Wig.
or and began his lecture" Peculiar
People with all his wOnted elo.
guence. Soon. however, it was no.
ticed he had not entire control of his
organs of speech, the symptoms grow
ing worse until he broke down COM
pletely. Medical aid from the audi
ence came to his assistance, and the
assemblage was dismissed. Mr.. Cough
was removed to the house of DIR. Burns
directly adjoining the church. Mr..
Coughs entire right side was paraI-
yzed.
John B. Cough was born at Laud,
gate, Kent county, England, August
%, 1917. In 1929 he emigrated to New
York, and there learned the trade of
bookbinder. Assoeiating with the
dissolute of his craft, he fell into hab-
its of intemperance.
In October, 1912, he was induced to
attend temperance meeting. Here
he took the pledge of abstinence, and
soon began to publicly advocate the
principle. His reputation as an orator
spread through the United States and
Canada, and reached England. In
1858 the London Temperance League
invited him toGreat Britain. The visit,
intended to last only six weeks, was
protracted to two years, during which
he advocated the cause of temperance
throughout the island. He then re.
sumed his labors in America. In 1857
he again visited England ,and lectured
with still greater success than on his
former visit, and in 1860 returned tC
on other topics with great success
acquiring large fortune. In 1916 he
published his Autobiography" 8
volume of Orations" " in 1854, col.
lection of Temperance Lectures y
in 1879, and "SuRlight and Shadow
in 1850. In 1873 he announced thai
he was about TO leave the field as .
public lecturer, but he has since ap.
peared at intervals. In 1878 he again
visited England. He was a resident
of Boylestou, Mass.

Plant Field Peas.

The season of the year is now at hand when the laying by" of the corn crop will soon be the order of the day, with our free handed farmers. And here we desire to speak a word in favor of the field pea. This vdgetable, it is we'll known, is one of the most useful grown upon the farm. It not on- ly serves as most excellent sub stitute for the bean, in it's green or dried state for food. but is most excellent food for all kinds of stock, and fowls as well. Then, again, the vines are most excel lent substitute for clover hay, if cut or pulled before frost. This pea may be planted and success. fully grown between the rows of corn, and may be planted at the time of the laying ny of the corn crop, and often need no further cultivation, unless an unusual crop of weeds and grass spring up the part of the season. Should this happen, one blowing with a small shovel blow, or run through it with a narrow cultivator will suf- flee. Rural and Workman.

Obituary.

Mrs. Lula Thomasson Gaston died in Prescott, AIkansas, April 6, 1886, leaving bright testimony that sho had gone safely to her glorious reward. She was con- verted and joined the NJ. E. Church, South, when quite a child. She grew to wOmanhood a beautiful specimen of modest, earnest, Chris tian zeal. She was always attract i've favorite in society, at home and abroad; before she left Ccor- gia she was for years the Orgamst in her church, and soon after go- ing to Prescott, Ark, among strangers, her musical talent and sweet christian character won for her q high and strong place in the hearts of her new friends, who at once called her to take charge of their Church organ. Sho contin- ned Organist till her sad death Ca period of four years.) Always ready to help the needy, she felt that no labor or sacrifice was too great when done for her Lord. A kindlier or sweeter disposition l have never met. She was always ready to do or suffer anything to make others happy. She left q husband and precious little babe, with mother, brothers, sisters and many friends to mourn her as lost to earth, while she went to meet father and three sisters in the home ofthe good. o, what sweet commun- ion, what joy thrills her angelic spirit now! That voice, so rich and full and sweet on earth, will again baptize us with a wealth of glory of which we can have no cou- ceptiou now. We would press on to the same glory. Sing on, sweet one, ull we comc.-W. F. Quillian, in Christian Advocate.

Greenbackers' Methods.
EMM EFT, ARK. ,Tuly 13. 1886,


 Editor PICAYUNE:-I have learn. oed that Mir. o. s. Jones, the mar tyr of the late Greenback county convention, says that Democrat was the cause of his not getting the nomination for sheriff, and that this Democrat had to perjurc him- self in order to do this. l amin. formed also that Mir. Jones only lacked two votes of getting the nomination on the first ballot and that one Wilson Dougan bohed his instructions and voted for Reagan. Now Wilson was formerly a good Democrat, but quit the party be. cause neither the sheriff nor the congressman would give him a DO. sition of honor or trust. 1 also learn that two persons, named re. spectfully Charley and Peter, citi. zens of Hickory Grove notcriety, came 10 this township about ten o'clock on last Friday night and went to the residenc of our Jno. D $. and waking him from his peace flll slumbers and having christen. ed him as Greenbacker, appoint ed him as chairman of the town ship central committee and then proceeded to hold a mass. m eeting, with Jno. D. s. as chairman and Charley as secretary, and Peter, from Missouri township, to make up the meeting. The meeting having been called to order, Peter moved that the chairman of the meeting be appointed as delegate to tho county convention to meet at Prescott next day, Saturday. and instructed to cast the vote of the township for Jimmy R.. broth CT of Peter, first, last and all the time. This vote was carried unan- imously. Then after a rousing speech from the newly christened chairman, cnjoining upon his hear. CTS to be true to the cause he had so lately espoused, the meeting ad- burned sine die. JnO. D., awak. ing with the early dawn, hied him self to Prescott and promptly cast his vote for Jimmy R. leaving poor Oliver out in the cold, with the blessed consolation that he had died martyr to the canse of true Grecnbackism.
 Now the above are facts that can substantiated by as good authority as we have in this township. l bring an oid-time Democrat of the Jeffersonian and JacksOnian school, am opposed to all the trickery of modern Democratic and Greenback conventions, So. called, honce l deem it a duty to publish the above facts to the world, in order that such actions may be condemned by all true Jeffersonian Democrats like mpself,
