OBITUARY.

Mrs. Eliza Susan Rollow, (nee Brit. ton,) was born in Russellville, Jeffer- son county. Tenn., June 7th, 1928; pro- fessed religion when quite young and joined the NJ. E. church south. She was happily married to P. J. Hollow, Oct. 9, lS47; moved to Ark, in 1857, and died of consumption at her home in Dover, Nov. 11th, 1886. For many years Sister Rollow was greatly affiIct- ed, but was one of the most patient, cheerful sufferers ever met. For about twenty years this writer has been acquainted with Sister Rollow, and can say she lived above reproach in every respect. She was not very demonstra- tive, her piety was constant and uni form, and shone as brightly at home as in the house of God Indeed there have lived few persons whose daily lives comported more perfectly with their profession. She was true, devoted wife, gentle, loving mother. She taught her children to live for God and heaven, and was permitted to see them all religious and members of the church. Two of them preceded her to those God-built mansions, and five are following her as she followed Christ When asked by her husband if she had any special request to make, answered "no, except to meet me in heaven"
 Many preachers of the Arkansas Con- ference will feel sad when they read these lines, for she was truly the itin- erant's friend, and they found warm reception at her beautiful, christian home. A very affecting scene was wit messed by her friends just before her remains were taken from the room to be buried, Bro. Rollow requested all the children kneel, and while they were lowing, made solemn vow to meet the companion and mother in heaven. May Gods providence as shield be over them, His grace sustain them and His spirit guide them, Is the prayer of their pastor,

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 19.-Rev. J. Mill ton Turner, the we'll known colored politician, says he has become con vinced the time has come for coIored people to seek some other means than politics for the betterment of their condition. He believes the negroes must be distributed through out the country, and has a plan for the formation of colony in Missou- ri, in Butler county.
 Whether his ideas are practicable or not to distribute the colored peo- pie throughout the country, Mir. Turner's head is level in the opin lon that the betterment of their con dition lies in something else besides politics. The colored man, like any one else, will be apt to go where he thinks his condition will be improv ed, and like every one else, if he has not already learned the lessen, he will have to, that his prosperity de- pends on elbow grease and not poli- tioo

Prize.

Annther lottery wave passed over New Orleans last Tuesday, and m its course struck Mr. Aolph L. Bel sran, son of our we'll known fellow citizen, R. BeItran, Esq, commission merchant on Decatur street.
 The blow was a severe one, and It struck Adolph so unexpectedly that he has not entirely recovered his senses, though in possession of more cents than lie ever had Tn the course of his check cred career.
 On Wednesday, with dollarous expression in his eye, he visited the office of The Louisiana State Lottery Company, and inquired for the root doctor. This singular inquiry ex cited the curiosity of the office, and he was invited to seat in the left hand ward.
 His pulse being felt, an extraordi nary contraction of the muscles of the dlgits of hls right hand was dis cerncd. On reducing the same, a lottery ticket was revealed, hearing the number 94,552. A qnink diag nosis of his case was made. The lottery wave had given him, in the drawing on Nov 9, for one dollar investment, the sum of fifteen thous and dollars.
 The "root of all evil," in the form of very hard cash was at once ad ministered. and Mir. Beltran's singu lar inquiry was explained.
 In pleasant chat with the writer, the fortunate holder (wllo is appar ently 2I years of age) stated that he is native of New Orleans, and is now working in the laboratory of til e Planters Sugar Refinery, learning the business under Mir. John Key holds, and that the sudden accumu- lation of wealth will in no way af- feet his resolution to master hls adopted profession.-New Orleans { La. Picayune, Nov. 13.

When catarrh has progressed to a certain extent, it is only a step to that terribly fatal disease, consump

Arkansas Mineral Wealth. New Orleans Times-Democrat

It has long been known .has Ar. kansas is one of the richest mineral States on the Mississippi. It boasts larger coal area than any of it's neighbors, and is rich in all the met als, both precious and non precious. It seems singular, at first blush, that no very serious attempt should have been made to develop these miner als, but this is the experience of nearly all the Southern States. It was the same story with Alabama coal and iron, which invited the world for centuries before any at tempt was made to utilize them. The lack of railroad transportation may account for the tardy develop ment in both states. It is only of late years that Arkansas has secured good railroad connections through out the State, and even now some of it's best miner portions are without railroads.
 It begins to look, however, as if these resources of Arkansas are about to be developed and that min ing is to take prominent place in industries of the State. At Bear Mountain, in Montgomery county, precious ores have been found in large quantities. A number of min ing camps have already been estab. lished and there is quite rush for the "diggings." Stamp mills and other machinery for the reduction of the ores are in course of erection, and smelting furnaces will be put up at Crystal Springs. It is only be ginning, it is true, but there is eve rything in beginning. Now that attention is called to the mineral re- sources of Arkansas and they are found to pay, that State may hope for an increase of labor and capital for their development.

The Treasurer of Greene County
 Short in His Accounts.


 Greene county is lamenting the absence and mysterious disappear. ance of County Treasurer John N Johnston. Johnston was elected to that important position at the coun- ty and state election of 1884. He gave good bond, as required by law, and 80 far as was publicly known there was no objection to his official record. However, he was defeated at the last election by Hen. " Trice, popular farmer.
 Just before the time came for John ston to turn over to his successor the books, accounts, money, etc, of the office he mysterlously disappeared and has not since been heard of. The books show him to be $5000 short and his bondsmen will be called on to make good the deficit. The bonds men have been able to find $200O worth of property, which they have seized.
 Johnston is about 40 years of age and native of Greene county, where he had lived all his life. He was prominent member of the Methodist church, took q leading part in local organizations, was conspicuous in the Knights of Honor, Masonic and Odd Fellows lodges. was highly respected and was related to promi- nent and leading families of North east Arkansas.
 His malfeasance subjects him to indictment and on convection to not less than five nor more than twenty years in the state penitentiary.

CHICAGO, Nov. 10.-A New Orleans special says new factor has been introduced into the labor problem in Louisiana. It has long been known the Knights of Labor were engaged among the field hands organizing lodges of the order, but the first ef- feet of their work has just been man ifested. About one hundred hands on Fairvlew plantation, one mile above Berwick, owned by Capt Pharr, have been on a strike since Monday. Cutting, hauling and grind Ing cane has entirely ceased. The hands are all Knights of Labor and the strike was instituted by order of the local lodge at Berwick. The men demand an advance of 50 per cent in wages.
 The strike is bad enough in man. ufacturing districts. It has hitherto thought to be confined to railroads, manufactures and other similar pur- suits. When it begins to invade the farm and affect agricultural labor, it will put the matter in new light, and the farmers of the country will begin to think abou: it in a new way. An institution that threatens to tie up their labor, and stop cotton pick ing etc., to force an advance in wages, will bring the matter to the attention of farmers in way they had not thought of It before.

ss, 100000 for the Choctaws.

The Associated. Press dispatches give the intelligence that the Sn- .preme Court of the United States on Monday the 18th rendered judgment in favor Of the Choctaw Indians for $2,s58,797. This judgment finally settles the great net proceeds claim which for nearly sixty years the Choctaws have urged against the government. This claim had it's origin in the provisions ofthe treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek, made in 1880 by which, under certain condi
 tions the government obtained the cession of the Choctaw lands east of the Misslssippi and the removal of the tribe to their present domain. By the 14th Article of tha. treaty it was provided that the Indians who desired to remain should be entitled to such land and upon notice to the U. s. Commissioners might prove up the claims and continue in uninter- rupted possession. A great many Indians sought to avail themselves of this provision but with the con nivance and aid of the government they were prevented from doing so and compelled to emigrate. After years of fruitless attempts to obtain redress for their wrongs or even pay for their lands the government being desirous of securing cession of g part of the tract originally yceded them in the present territory enter ed into the treaty of 1855 with the Choctaws in which in consideration of the desired cession the Govern. ment agreed to leave all matters of difference to the Senate of the U. s. In persuance of the. authority com
 posed by the treaty tho Senate, a year or two after, made an award giving the Indians the net proceeds of the lands wrongfully taken, that is, what the government had sold the lands for, minus the expense of survey and sale. This award was slightly under $3,000,000. The war prevented the execution of the award and for long years afterward the Indians sought apparently in vain for further action until 1881 Congress conferred jurisdiction upon the Court of Claims to review the senate award and render judgment for the amount, if any found due. Last winter the Court of Claims set aside the award, did away with the bulk of the claim, and gave judgment for only $400, ,000, hardly tenth of what the senate had adjudged due. And now as the last action, this drama of delay, bringing tardy jus tice when all the original complaints are dead and gone, the Supreme Court reverses the decision of the inferior court and snstains the award of she Senate. The judgment em
 braces two other items aggregating less than $l0O,000, the first for un- paid annuities due the Indians, the second for lands of which they are deprived by the erroneous location of the llne between them and this state. An appropriation of the money by Congress to pay this judg- ment is the next step and this may be looked for this winter. n

Co., NJ. K. Benton, who was sus. pended from the office of United States district attorney in Missouri, for participation in the recent politi- cal canvass by President Cleveland, has been reinstated. The facts in the case showed he had neglected no official duty, and had done his political work only after his official work was attended to, and that he simply did what any earnest citizen ought to do for his party, and what he has right to do in office or out of it.

THE government wants plenty of money to run it's machinery. Dem
 ocrats and everybody else want this. It don't make any matter who is m power. They must have enough of money to pay expenses, and the tariff has been resorted to to get it. Where in the democratic idea differs from some others is that it is satisfied with enough, and only enough. to pay expenses. It wants to raise money for current expenses and no more, while others contend that the tax s''"uid not only be for providing gov ernnent revenues, but also to confer benefits upon certain individuals.
