Obituary.

On Thursday 24th inst, our commu- nity was made sad at the death of Johney Swan who had been in delicate health for over two years. The history of his case is we'll known to many, in the winter of 1883 while picking cotton he indulged his childish fancy by plac- ing cuckle burr between his lips, by accident he sucked it down his traehia (windpipe), 1t iritated the right bron- chus and resting on the right lung caused much irritation, which condition finally passed into tuber culosis or con- sumption from the effects of which he died, he suffered intensely but he bore it with surprising fortitude, he was perfectly rational until within very few moments of his death, he bade the friends and relatives good bye, and quietly sank into the sleep that knows no waking. The bereaved family has the sympathy of the entire community. "His face on earth is seen no more
 But his soul has flown to mansions
 above,
 He now rejoices on the other shore
 Where all to him is peace and love. While we weep that his stay on earth
 is ended
 He basks In the smile of his redeem
 er's face,
 His brilliant voice withangels blended,
 Singing songs of Heavenly praise.'

 Little Stella c. Florence Winfield was born June z, 1885, and departed this life June 23, 1886. Thus has pass ed away the tender little babe. so dear to the mothers heart, staying just long enough to become sprigbtlv and full of glee. How sad to be robbed of those we love so dear. But those who look to God for comfort and help in time Of trouble shall not be disappointed Mother, weep not, for in the sweet lover there'' you shall see little Stella as an angel of God shining bright in the pure land of light. o how precious the promise and hope of heaven. God help us to be ready as was little Stella to enter the future state.

Comp Imentary to Miss Emma
 Howell.

Howell.
 We take pleasure in noting the un- limited popularity of one of Popc's fair daughters among the good people Of Georgia. We clip from the Rome Daily Courier It's glowing account of the splendid reception recently given Miss Emma Howell on the occasion of her visit to friends and relatives who reside in that city:
 "1he lovely home of Mir. and Mrs. w. T. McWilliamson was the scene last Thursday evening of a social gathering that for elegance, beauty and grace, is scarcely witnessed. It was the recep- tion given In honor of Miss Emma Howell, of Russellville, Arkansas, by Miss Leila, the charming and accom- plished daughter of the host and hostess.
 The fair daughters and handsome sons of Rome never looked happier, and the visiting young ladies who were present. wore an air of attractiveness that added specially to their many oth- CT accomplishments, while they who did the civic honors were the centre. around which gathered hosts of admir- ing friends to pay their respects.
 During the evening Miss Howell sang, and her rich and we'll trained voice so6n caught the attention of every one, and at the conclusion she received n round of we'll deserved applause. The duett between Misses Howell and McWilliams, with piano and guitar ac- compartment, was also received with hearty applause. Other friends pres ent also furnished music, much to the delight of all.
 At II o'clock supper was announced, and all repaired to the dining hall, where table was spread fit to tempt the gods. It was beautifully decorated with flowers and pyramids of cakes. The repast was heartily enjoyed, espec- ially the Glove in the midst" The hours sped by all too fast, and the time for saying good-byes came too soon, but all left after attempting to say "How-ellv they had enjoyed the eve- ming, feeling that it was good to have been there.
 Long will those who were present remember this occasion, and often will they refer to it as one of the happiest evenings of their lives"

 DOVER. July l3.-A protracted meeting is in progress at the Meth odist church here under the manage ment of Revs. Jolly and Hicks ~. Dover celebrated the 4th on the 3d with the good people of Mountain Springs, and Russellville, at least the most fascinating part of 1t, cele- brated with us, of course l do not mean that the fasclnation was my good friends Garden and Crow, "niv- CT bit" 1t was the balance of the delegation. After the picnic we re- turned to Dover, and the young folks were rendered social gathering at the residence of Mir. and Mrs. R. B. Hogins, whose ccuntenances always beam with pleasure when they can in any manner contribute to the hap piness Of the young. We return to them our unqualified thanks for their kindness and sincerely hope that fu- ture life may be rife with genuine happiness for them. Henry Car den of RusselIville visited Dover twice last week, but did not come around and explain the object of the meetin' Rise my son, and explain to your Aunt Wash. Miss Marie, daughter of Capt. and Mrs. D. C.. Brown, to the great delight of friends and relatives, has returned from Lit tie Rock, where she had been attend ing school at St, Mary's Academy. She graduated from that institution on the 24th of June last, and as was predicted when she entered school, she has added to the amiable quail ties of which she is endowed, all those accomplishments that charac terize an elegant and refined woman. We gladly welcome her back. Mir. Ben Roach of Ozark IS here visiting hls uncle, John R. Young. :. There IS nothing of importance going on in the courts, one suit only having been filed since my last, viz: w. H. Poyn- ter and l. J. Brown, vs. T. $. Forrest, ejectment.
