 Information has reached here of an unfortunate affair which occurred near Dover last Tuesday afternoon, result ing in the death of 1. J. Brown, oi
 Martin township at the hands of his son-in law, Ed. M. Truett. Some three or four weeks ago Mir. Truett married MT. Browns only daughter much against her parents wishes. There has been no concealment of Mir. Browns utter displeasure since the event. As we learn it, Mir. Brown, whilst enroute home from the Dover speaking, stop ped at the school house where his son. in-law was teaching and made an open attack upon him. After hand-to-hand encounter they were separated by the pupils, but not being satisfied tlfe attack was renewed by Mir. Brown when he was shot by Mir. Truitt, the ball enter ing his left breast, causing death al- most instantly. It is understood that 1 Mir. Truett is evading arrest. The in quest was held by Esq. Pitts, of Dover township, the verdict of which we will publish next week. MT. Brown was a kind indulgent father, devoted husband and useful citizen. and his untimely end is sincerely regretted on all sides. The Gazette's Kingsland Cleveland county correspondent pays our honor cd fellow -townsman, Mr.Jeff Davis, the | following marked compliment, on the occasion of the recent political discus sion there: Speaking was resumed by Hon. Jeff Davis, who held the large au- dience spell-bound, as if by magic, for two hours; never was an audience so electrified and enthused as was done by this young orator. He literally de- molished Foster to such an extent that democrats got sorry for him and no doubt it will be long time before the union labor pigmv attacks our demo- cratic giants again. Mir. Davis speech was mainly on national politics and particularly upon the great issue now before the people-tarif revision. It abodnded in numerous illustrations which were so plain that everybody
 
 ment. His speech was literally inter- spersed with numerous anecdotes from the beginning to the end. At its con- clusion grand rush was made by the vast audience to grasp by the hand the brilliant young orator who had so no- bly, upheld the principles of democracy which continued until he was literally exhausted.

 Editor Marlboro. of the Little Rock Sun, a colored mans paper, makes 8 good point in the following:
 In his speech at Russellville Dr. Nor wood assailed Col. Eagle in puny way and through sheer desperation at the result of prevalent sentiment against him and his gang of political money grabbers and starved-out office-seekers, he makes blow at the colored voters in Arkansaw oyer Eagles shoul ter, setting forth what he regards as the "lmpropriety" of Col. Eagles intimacy ith"niggers." The Doctor may laugh in his sleeve over what he thinks is strong point gained, but the Sun offers the prediction that the Doctor will be glad to transmogrify that compliment tary(?) title "nigger" into the more respectable and proper term Negro, with a capital N to start with. at least one hour after If not before the election. If Dr. Norwood feels satisfied that he is benefitting himself by throwing outinsinuations against the cOlored vot- CTS of the State he will see in tue com ing election how we'll he succeeds. He acknowledges the disgrace of being identified with the Republicans, and re- gards it still greater disgrace to his lordly dignity to be mixed with ''nig- gers" If the colored voters in Arkan- saw can swallow the dose Norwood Is pouring into them throughout the State they can stand anything.

 Quite large crowd assembled at the courthouse on Monday evening last to listen to the addresses of Capt. J. W. Russell and Judge J. G. Wallace. Cant. Russell was the first to talk, and delivered his speech in his usual happy and attractive vein, his audience being close and attentive listeners from be- ginning to close. The speaker paid his respects to the leaders of the Il. l. p. and charged them with being simply an adjunct to the republican party, bent on getting control of the State govern ment. He said that the republican par ty with it's iniquitous record dared not come before the people with ticket Of it's own, but having found number Of men willing to act as decOy ducks and do their bidding after election, they were put forward with the party's en- dorsement to wrest the government from the democratic party and set up one in opposition thereto. The ap- plause which greeted the Captains fre- quent telling points showing how fully his hearers appreciated the fact that his statements were nothing but the liv- ing truth. Judge Wallace followed in an able and effective speech treating of the financial condition of the country, and the relation of this problem to the people. He dwelt at lengh upon the tariff and explained the relative posi- tions of the democratic and republican parties upon this great political issue. His Illustrations were plain and tangi- ble In support of the charge that under the protective system the rich manufacturers were growing rich l CT and the poor consumers, were be- coming poor and poorer day by day. It was telling talk and was received with every evidence of approval.
