On our first page appears a timely
article from the pen of ex-senator Joseph
f. Brown, of Georgia, or the political
situation which now confronts u CON-
mon country. 1t will well repay a care
full reading. We shall not attempt to
give a synopsis of its strong points.
These the reader can note for himself.
Like all articles from his tongue or pen,
it bears the marks of strong common
sense applied to the matter being treated

The Lutheran Sunday school picnic, in
the grove of Mr.. II. W. Pieper, on
Wednesday, was a most enjoyable occas-
ION for the many young people who
joined in the happy festivities. The
other Sunday schools were invited to
participate III the exercises, and many
attended. At II o'clock an appropriate
and timely address was delivered by Mr..
c. X. D. Burns. An elegant dinner was
then served by the ladies and all partook
of the many delicacies so beautifully
spread.
On last Friday night. ear Pine Bluff,
! Arkansas, there was a fatal wreck, caused
by the collision of a freight and passen-
GER train on the Cotton Belt Railroad.
The collision occurred at 40 o'clock and
was caused by the crew of an irregular
passenger train disobeying orders. The
engines of the two trains ran into each
other. and all the cars of the passenger
train were thrown from the track and
UPSET. Nine dead bodies of the killed
have been recovered and twenty persons
were seriously wounded. Among the
wounded we notice III u daily ex-
changes the name of Rev. NJ. l.. Davis,
of Waco, Texas, who is reported seri-
I OuStN DIUlSSO. ~ silN LIZ UlOlbSi 'oA
rem were returning from their visit to
South Carolina, and were aboard this
train. We have not seen Warren's name
among the injured, and it is probable that
he escaped unhurt. The railway officials
secured the United States steamer Wich-
tia to 60 down the Arkansas river to the
bridge at Rob Roy and bring the dead
and wounded to Pine Bluff, Arkansas, as
the trains could not reach the wreck on
account of the high water. The most
appalling reports of the condition of the
country caused by the ioods in the Mis-
sissippi valley are contained in our ex-
changes. There is not a single farm be
tween Little Rock and Pine Bluff that
has sufficient dry ground to place stock.
There is great suffering and restitution
among the people.
Death of Mr.. George W. Phillips.
