In its issue of Sunday, under the
heading of "Gulf States BeIles.D the
Times Democrat has a photo of Miss
Elise Baynard, of this city, with the
following complimentary remarks:-
Miss Elise Baynard is tho eldest
daughter of Mr.. Ludlow Bowman Bay-
nard, ore of the most honored citizens
of Alexandria, La, an old resident of
Alexandria, La, an old resident of
that pretty town whose interests aud
prosperity are dear to his heart. This
charming young lady is just nineteen
years OF age, with all the freshness
and bloom that belong to yonth. Her
figure is slender and supple, her height
being of the happy medium" and
she is unusually graceful in move
ment. She has silky dark hair, with
a wayward ripple running through its
strands, and "eyes darker than dark.
est pansies"-eyes full of soul and ex-
preston, their beauty emphasized by
long, curling lashes black Gas any
blackbird's feather" She carries her
pretty head wish a spirited poise tina,
does not, however, indicate hauteur
as all who know her can testify. Miss
Baynard's friends and admirers prize
far above her undoubted beauty OF
person her saceet naturalness of man,
ner, and the sincerity of heart and
speech which makes her so true and
valuable friend. Friendship with
her is no empty word, but sacreG
obligation to which she has never
been false.

Mr.. G. A. Yancy, representing

ries, is still in Alexandria. soliciting
orders, aud has met with, we are
pleased to say, much encouragement.
He has just thought of first-class
idea, in the way of putting Leconte
gear trees in the place OF some of
the old, dilapidated and useless shade
trees in Alexandria. The Laconte
trees not only answer the same pnr-
pose of the shade trees but yield
abundant fruit, of the finest kind
every season. Several Alexandrtans
have long ago made this change, and
now would not be without them the
difference in cost is a mere trifle.-
Now that our town is growing, new
buildings going up on every side
with lnnumerable yards aud walks
and drives to beautify, it would stand
every one we'll in hand to plant tht
pear trees. Mr.. Yancy is now taking
orders for these trees, all of which ar,
to be delivered in November. LIE
every property owner give him al
order.

DIED.

John H. Coleman died Thursday afternoon at his residence in this city after an illness of several weeks. For several days the patient watchers at his bedside have believed he could not rally, and his death yesterday was not unexpected. He was generous and charitable, he nursed not enmity to- ward his neighbor. Liberal and kind hearted, he was beloved by host of warm friends, and by all who knew him for his courtesy and manliness. He was nearly S2 years of age. He WAS at one time a member of the Knights of Pythias, and at his death was Knight of Honor and a Mason. The remains were inferred in the For rest City cemetery at l2 o'clock to-day. under the auspices of the Masonic fra ternity, ot which he was au earnest and valued member. His devoted wife has the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community in her deep sorrow.
 A large number of Masons from Cross county arrived at II o'clock to participate in the obseQuies.

THE COUNTRY PR EsS.

We have for several weeks past been giving rather closer attention than usual to the country press. We are gratified at the excellence of our Ar kansas papers. The large majority of them are well edited as to local mat. ters and fairly well as to matters of general interest. The typographical appearance is generally good. and the moral tone is without exception very high. No papers anywhere deserve patronage at the hands of the public more than those of Arkansas They are public-spirited, anxious and will ing to do anything that will promote local or state interests. We are proud of our state press, and only regret that they do not receive the full measure of support they are SO well entitled to- Arkansas Farmer.
