white man who lives in the house with
William Stafford, made an attack upon
him using abusive language, and finally
they came to blows in which Stafford
used up his man very badly. The police
got wind of the matter and both parties
we're arrested with the charge of assault
and battery slated against them. Stat.
ford put up.a forfeit of$75. for his appear
ance Wednesday morning. He placed
his case in the hands of our new LAWYER
r. L. McGhee and it was tried before
Judge Burr of the Municipal Court. Mr..
McGhee handled his case with such
ability as to receive many compliments
from the members of the bar who were
present. Through the efforts of lawyer
McGhee, Stafford was acquitted on the
charge of assault and battery, but fine
OF $40 was assessed against his client for
disorderly conduct. Had the first charge
been sustained fine of not less than
$50 would have been imposed and he
would also have been sent to jail. In
view of these facts the result of the case
is victory for Mr.. McGhee.
Gone to Rest.
'On Wednesday July Sd, 1889, in Lewis
vile, Ark, Mr.. John Glover at his
mothers residence in his 3Oth wear
passed away. The pale horse with death
for it's rider has broken loose from its
confinement. and has trampled with
iron hoof, over the loneliness of tie do
nestle circle. How sad it is for us to
record to-day that death with it's unmer.
clful hand has broken up Toying family
circle. Mr.. Glover lived for four years
with his loving, kind and affectionate
wife, Mrs. Emma A. Glover, without a
ripple to mar their domestic felicity.
During his many months of illness she
proved to:.be ofkind and admirable man
ner Rd conscientuously endeavored to
do wife's duty to devoted husband.
His friends believing he might regain
his health possibly by:going to Arkansas,
induced him to take the trip, to all OF
which he consented. But death that
markes its victim with fevered counte-
nance, never lost sight of him. Mr..
Glover was one of these few men whose
reputation scandal dare not touch. whom
malignity dare not invade, whose mo-
tives prejudice dare not impugn. Men
who knew HIM best loved him best, and
those who associated with him most
valued him best. His religion extended
into his business transaction, and was
mingled with the intercourse of daily
life. He was tender husband, and his
fall has left q chasm in the family circle.
which He alone can fill, who has prom
lsed to be the husband 20 the widow.
His piety was intelligent, steady and
active, its flame never flashed out to
burn and bewiIder, and then die away
in darkness, but its light, like the vestal
tire, never went out. Just think, bat
tive or six weeks ago he started on the
voyage to his mother in Arkansas, with
hopper of recovery, babe his wife and
friends farewell, he stepped on to his
coach, waving his handkerchiefgood by.
Weeks rolled on, and the sad intelli-
gence came to his dear wife, and friends
on Tuesday morning July 9th, that
husband and brother was no more. The
consolation which / offer to the affected
wife aud relatives is the blessed assur-
ance that one brother shall rise again.
that Though he be dead, yet shall he
live" Requiescat in peace. w. 4.
