TIMELY WARNING.
The Time tor Bringing Suits to FOreclOse Mortgages
 Near at Hand.

To the Editor of the Gazette:
 LITTLE RocK, Feb. 28.-There is an important matter to which the newspapers of the State ought te call the attention of the people at once, so that persons not familiar with the law may be able to save themselves from losses that will oth erwise occur.
 The last Legislature passed an act which bars suits to foreclose mort. gages, whenever the debts secured by them are barred. which in the case of promissory notes, IS five years. See Acts 1889, c. "A. This act, which was approved March 25, 1889, allows one year from the passage of the act for the bringing of suits to foreclose mortgages that would be barred by the terms of the act, or that would be barred in less than one year from it's date; which time will expire on tue 25th day of next month (March); and partial pay. ments on debts secured by mortgage are required to be noted on the mar gin of the record of mortgages in the office of the Recorder.
 I apprehend that many persons holding mortgages will be caught mapping, will let the time slip by, and so will lose their securities. Such losses will probably fall on married women who are not accus- toned to strict sttention to busi- ness. A timely menhen of the situ- ation by the public press will no doubt render such misfortunes fewer in number. Respectfully,
 IT. M. K.

THE Russellville DEMOCRAT seems to think that because Judge Gun ningham is democrat that no other democrat has right to pass criti- cism upon his conduct. That is certainly a singular theory. So far as this paper Is concerned, we wor- ship no man, either In or out of tbe party.-Clarksville Herald-Journal.
 Wrong you are agaln, Bro. Ludwig. The DEMOCRAT does not think "that because Judge Cunningham is a democrat that no other democrat has a right to pass criticism upon his conduct" We maintain that Judge Cunningham being innocent of the charge trumped up against him by republicans, democrats have no right to circulate the islander thus origin ated and criticise him on account of it. Our proposition and yours is widely different. Be just though the heavens fall.
