The Combine.

The Republicans and Populists met
last Saturday and after many convul.
sions brought forth the following tick
ct, to be showed under next Septem.
ber:
Representatives,. F. Roberts and
D. d. McGinnis.
Sheriff.. A. Floyd.
County Clerk. A. Kimbrough.
Circuit Clerk-A. NJ. Orrick.
County Judge-JOhn King.
Treasurer. N. Haley.
Assessor-J. H. Branson.
The Republicans are represented by
four and the Populists by the other
four. The P. P's. are mostly former
Democrats who could not get office IN
their own party, so they changed
Goals, and, presto here you are. The
ticket, in itself, lacks strength, and,
then, there is likely to develop con-
siderable dissatisfaction among GER
tain class of Republicans, who could
not get what they wanted. The
"bosses" had a ticket already cooked
and dried, but were unceremOniously
sat down on, and are now nursing
their wrath. 1t is not a ticket that
crrries with 1t any strength, and for
the most part composed of mediocre
men.

IN MEMORIAM.

To the Officers and Members of Ivan.
hoe Lodge No. q, Van Buren,, Ark. !:
BRETHREN;
Resolutions passed by Ivanhoe
Lodge No. q, Knights of Pythias, up
on the death OF J. w. Kerr.
The pages Of the history of our order
which contain the biography of the
life and character of our late lamented
brother, James w, Kerr, as a mem.
Der Of this organization, are among
the brightest, though briefest, that are
to be found therein.
The extent of his value and worth
in our community as brother, as a
friend, as business man and In all
of the various relations which he sus-
tanned to those whose lives touched
upon his at any point is but feebly
and inadequately expressed by the
universal demonstration of sorrow
produced by his sad and sudden
death. And he could have left his
relatives aud friends no richer heritage
of his shining qualities and virtues
than the fact that though yet young
and not having reached the meridian
of his life, he had in three and one
half short years established for him
self reputation in business and carv-
ed out for himself a place in the hearts
and affections of the people which is
scarcely excelled by any other.
James w. Kerr has gone from us for
ever, but his memory will be fondly
cherished, And we, as members Of
this, committee, are grateful for hav-
ing enjoyed the beneficial pleasure of
association with him, and we desire
to express our especial appreciation
Of the sterling integrity and lovable
character exhibited in his daily life
His intercourse with us has been like
that of kind and courteous brother
and it is q pleasure to publicly declare
that In oil the years of intimate daily
association with him we have never
known him In any lns stance, under any
circumstances. to suggest or approve
any transaction except such as were
within the strictest rules of integrity,
mercy, justice and right. In fact it
may be truly said of him that he was
one of natures noblemen.
Resolved, Thatin the death of James
w. Kerr this Lodge has lost an active,
true and Jealous member. the town q
worthy business man and the State a
60 I'd citizen.
Resolved, That we extend to his
relatives and friends our deepest SYM
pathy in this their hour of bereave.
ment.
Resolved, That this Castle Hall be
drapped in mourning for a period of
thirty days; that these resolutions be
spread upon the minutes that a copy
of the same be furnished his rela atives,
and that the city papers be requested
to publish the same.
