 DEATH OF UNCLE WILLIS MONSoN.
 Willis Monson, former, aged and well known citizen of this town, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs Charles NJ. Baisley, on Grassy Plain street, on Wednesday. December 15, from the ef- feet of d shock which he had the Sunday previous. His funeral was attended from the house on Saturday afternoon at ? o'clock. Rev J. T. Langlois of the Meth odist church officiated. MT Monson, or "Uncle Willis,'' as he was most popular ly called, for the past two or three years, until quite recently, has made his home in Danbury. Until his health be- came too feeble to admit of his plying his trade, he followed the vocation of a shoe maker, in small building on Greenwood avenue, near the railroad crossing. He had large number of friends, and many an idle hour did they while away with him, in his little office, as he always had a pleasant word, or a story for every one. Sometimes his vis- itors were treated to musical entertain ment, as he was quite a musician, and could bring music out of fife in lively manner.

A HARMLESS COLLISION.

each other at full tilt. The engin-

MIR. Hugh lnman, advising cur
tailment of the cotton crop, says !:
The cotton buyer stands before
you with s3OO,OO0,OOO to spend.
You can get that money tor 5000, 900
bales as readily as you can for the
100000. Therefore, when you see
our farmers raising 100000 more
bales than they need, and then send
ing 500, 100000 of the money they
get West for the breadstufIs, you can
see where we are wasting money on
our fields, throwing the balance
away on Western products.
All this leads me 10 say. said MIR.
lnman in conclusion, that we have
the richest land in the world, and
that our remedy is to cut down the
cotton crop, or put that extra ener-
gy into raising our own breadstuffs
and live stock and to take the $780,
100000 which we are now sending
west and put it away. fer rainy

FAVORABLE TO DEMOCRACY.
OFFICIAL returns from fifty eig,

OFFICIAL returns from fifty eight
counties in Arkansas, give Fish~
beck, Democrat, for Governor, Co.,
635; Whipple, Republican, "a, 143
Carnahan, Peoples Party, 22,44444.
Seventeen counties yet to be heard
from will give Fishbeck majority
of at least 1900 more, making 49,
635. The Third party was not in it.
The Democratic majority in Arr
kansas is satisfactory, The Third
party leaders were pulled up with
the belief that their party was strong
in that State and they made a big
effort to carry it. They accomplished
comparatively nothing. They car
riUd few Countless Ealf dozen
perhaps-but their vote in the whole
State was so far below what they
expected'that they will hardly have
the courage to make much of an eff
fort at the November election.
Arkansas was one of the first
states to encourage the movement
that finally developed into the Third
party. Quite a number OF years
ago an organization among the farm
ers, called the wheel, was established
there. The wheel developed into
the alliance, and many members of
that order who were Democrats be-
came identified with the Third party.
Arkansas is safe for Mr.. Cleveland.
That is settled. No combination
that can be made can take the State
out of the Democratic column. And
the same can be said with respect to
every other Southern State. The
Third pastyis not as strong as it's
leaders have led the public to be-
lieve.
1t will be seen pretty clearly what
the strength of the Third party is at
the election in this State next
month. The Third party leaders
boast OF their ability to carry Geor-
gla. They will carry few counties
as they did in Arkansas, but the
Democratic ticket will be elected by
an old time majority. All the signs
point that way.
The Vermont election, that was
held on Tuesday week is worth more
than passing notice. That State
is overwhelmingly republican. The
returns show a large decrease in the
Republican vote, but no decrease in
the Democratic vote. From this it
is talr to assume tina. the tariff doc
trine of the Democratic party is be-
ing regarded with increasing favor
in Republican New England. In
deed, it is thought that Mr.. Cleve-
land has very good prospect of car
rying Massachusetts,.
The Democrats have every reason
to be satisfied with the political out
look. Cheering news comes from
the Vest, and there is a confident
feeling with respect to New York.
The result in Arkansas justi6es the
expectation that the South will re-
main solid.
