Hon. HUGH +. THoAAsoN, Judge
OF the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit,
died at his home at Van Buren, on
Sunday. His death was due to over
work, the first admonition that the
hour Of dissolution was near at hand
coming while he was engaged in the
conscientious discharge of his duty.
After charging the jury in murder
trial last week he became prostrated
by the heat, his condition growing
worse until death relieved him of his
sufferings. Judge Thomson spent
nearly all Of his life IN Arkansas and
held several public positions, all Of
which he filed to the satisfaction Of
his constituents and with credit to
himself. He was self made man,
steady, plodding student, who
reached no conclusion in law or any
thing else without mature delibera
tion. He enjoyed the confidence of
a great nuR0er Of friendss who will
deeply deplore his death.-Arkansas

ACRES upon acres of Lawrence
county lands are planted in large
fruit orchards, but Notwithstanding
that, the fruit growing business is in
its infancy, so to speak. 1t is a
fact that Lawrence raises and ships
a large amount OF fruit, yet is unable
to supply the demand made upon her
by northern and western markets.
The question of growing fine fruit at
a small cost is a matter Of little con-
sideration, but is quite an item to the
producer when he comes to placing
his products on the market; it is then
that he realizes where the profits
can come in Black Rock Blade.
The same statement Of facts apply
with equal force to our own counties
of Miller and Bowie. Indeed this

verted into a great and profitable

War in Tarawa.

King Tiburemoa, the ruler of the
British Gilbert islands, is alive and
still kicking, according to the
latest reports brought from the
group by the schooner Viking,
Which arrived Tuesday morning
His anxiety to be an American
citizen seems to increase with time,
but he feels he is hoping against
hope.
The British Commissioners was
expected to arrive on June lst
from the Fiji islands and assume
authority over the Gilbert group.
The king took his daily constitu-
tional ride over his coral-rock race
course six miles long, but never.
theIess manifested great fear OF
having a British boss.
Everything was very quiet
when we left the islands" SAID
Captain Dennevig. Business was
dull to nothing. [ called at one or
two of the islands, but what was
the use of calling at more? we
did not get a full load of copra, but
we brought up what we could get
hold of. Trade is very dull at the
Gilbert islands, so how can any one
expect vessel to do a rushing
business?"
Advices received by the Viking
state that civil war is going on
in the island of Tarawa, south OF
Butaritari. The native kings and
their forces are daily coming, TO,
gether in conflict, and much blood
is split. The internecine war has
been going on for several months
mast. and there was no prospect OF
a cessation of hostilities when the
Viking sailed.
People in these localities eat one
another. and if the subjects are
young they are in great demand
whether roasted, broiled or stuffed.
