IN MEMORY OF.

Little Annie May Ozment, who was born Tn the year of 1893 and died August 27th 1891.
 Dear friends 1 know how i'm possible it is to silence your grief with words; the heart pleads for uteranee in tears and let it speak, for thus We bow in sorrow for tbe taking of our little one. Feeling that while the ripened fruit may be gathered it seems cruel that the bud be taken before it has, even, an opportunity to un- fold its blossoms. But in nature fruits fall and so do blossoms and buds. In the way of kind nature this IS, perhaps, best. And in taking from our arms sweet Annie May, we will try to accept the cross and bear it, believing that the bud will vet blossom and bear fruit in the angel land where the spirit has so early flown. Weep not dear parents, for your little girl is at rest She is waiting tor you on the golden shore. just be-  yond the river. l know your home is dreary without her. but remember she is safe in that eterna- al home where she will be ready to welcome you, eff you will only trust in the Lord) in the gate that stands open for us all.

THE CYCLONE
The Male Part of the Insane Asylum Destroyed and the Penitentiary Bad
 ly Damaged.

At 7:30 o'clock, on Tuesday evening last, terrific cyclone struck the city of Little Rock, car- ryiee death and destruction in its path. Houses were blown down, unroofed and otherwise managed. Several persons were killed and many injured. The damage to property is estimated at Sl,000,- coo.
 The storm struck the principal portion of the city and razed many costly brick buildings to the ground, while many others were unroofed aud the stocks of goods were ruined by the food of water.
 At the Insane Assylum the male side of the main building was blown down, and Dr.. J. T. Ingate was killed. Only four of the pa tients cscaped--the rest being taken to sate quarters. IL i5 thought possible that the missing ones were buried beneath the de bris. The damage to the assylum is estimated at SI00,000. Great damage was also done 10 the pen i.enliafy, aui one conv ct by the name of Griffin was killed, while two guards and several trusties were se4onsly injured. s20,oo0 will not more than cover the dam. age done tine penitentiary.
 It was the most fearful cyclone that ever struck this State, and il will be many day before Little Rock will recover from the ftju ry it received.

 Peaceful in the grave at Enon. You no more will join our number,
 You no more our songs will rill. Dear Mary you have left Us,
 Here, your loss We deeply feel But 'tis God that has bereft Us,
 He can all our sorrows heal. Yet, again we hope to meet you,
 When the day of life has fled, Then in Heaven with joy to greet yoa,
 Where no farewell tear is shed.

Little Vance, son of Brother and Sister, Will BrantIey, was born Dec. the 29, 1893, departed this life September the 6, 1891. Dear parents your little one is in the land of rest, the blessed master has said, of such is the Kingdom of Heaver; so live that you may meet where parting is no more. He leaves a farther and mother and several brothers and sisters to mourn their loss, Our Brothers home has lost one of its precious, purest, and brightest gems, but we should not say lost, just transferred to that bright, celistial home where there is no pain and sorrow but all is joy and bliss. Father and mother, you have sympathy of friends, the consolation ot the gospel and the bright prospect Of meeting little Vaneea bove where this sad farewell is never gwen and kindred ties are never broken.
 That once loved form, now cold and dead, Each Homnfal thought employees We weep our earthly comforts fled,
 And withered all our joys.
 \ precious one, from us i, gone,
 A voice we loved i, stilIet, A place is vacant in our home,
 Which never can be filled. God, in his wis1i,;;iaas. wi1i;aa has recalled,
 The boon his love had giv.s: Though body lies mouldering here
 The sou is safe in Heaven

The Road Question.

In view of the fact that the great State of Arkansas cam neT- CT reach the rank that her natural resources should give her under the present road system, 1t would be timely move for each county to make q special demand of it's representative in the next legisla- tnre to exert his best efforts to do away with the present makeshift of road law and give the people a perfect and practical system one that will make all points of the interior accessible to market and give the travelling public high ways that would reflect honor and respect on the law-making powers of cur State. The State never can be developed under the present system.-IIuntsville Republicans
 There is no sense in demanding the enactment of better road laws as long as the people of the State persist in cIinging to system un- der which it is an impossibi1ity to obtain them. The system prevail ing in Arkansas is utterly inefiei- ent. This will be denied by no- body, but until the roads are work ed by system which provides for both labor and taxation, they will remain just as they are. Our leg islators cannot accomplish impos- sibllities. They realize the need of better roads, and at every ses- sion of the Genera Assembly de- vote no little of their time in de vising schemes to procure them; but they fail in accomplishing the de- sired result because of the limited >Neans at comand and the imPossi- bi,fN> of getting the people of the iffereHr~ctions of the State to agree upon a>1Smeasurc that prom ises relief.
 Where is the common sense
 demanding of their representatives that which is not in their power to do, and that in which tho people themselves show no disposition to assist
 We shall never have better roads in Arkansas until We build them with money, just as all Of the most progressive states of the Union are doing. Amendment No. was intended as stepping stone to- ward a reform in this direction. Had it been adopted il would have given the legislature something to work upon, and in tho course of q few years it could have developed a good road system; but 1t was de feated-and defeated, too, ny those who complain most in thls matter, and as q result the system will remain as at present.-F. s.

Hon. Woodville E. Thompson.

It was with sorrow ard surprise that his many friends in Monticel- To, received information of the death of Hon. Woodville E. Thompson, which occurred at his home in Little Rock on Saturday last. The immediate cause of his death was Bright's Disease.
 Mr. Thompson was so years old the aay he died, and during his life, was one of the most use ful men in the State. He came to Monticello before the war aud be- gan the practice of Iaw-his pro. fessioo; but after the war he adopted the profession of teach ing, and in this line made for him- self q most cnviable reputation. In 1882 he was elected State Su- perintendent of Public Instruction. and so well and faithfully did he perform the responsible duties of that high office, he was reelected by the people of the State of Ar kansas for three succeeding terms making total of eight years a longer period than has ever been given to any other man in the State, in that office He was q scholar and gentleman, ever sociable and companionable.
 Mir. Thompson leaves wife and eight children, who mourn for him, besides other relatives and many friends.
 Our sincere sympathies are ex. tended to the boreaved in this hour Of trial and trouble. The remains of Mr. Thompson were brought to this city, on last Mon. day evenings train, accompanied by Judge c. D. Wood and wife. Roy, Claude, Guy and French Thompson, and Mr. Chris. Led widge, of Little Rock, and Mr. FL sic Remley, of Baxter.
 The Funeral cortege was met at the depot, here, by large con course of our citizens and the cas- ket conveyed to the residence of Hon. J. G. Williamson, on South Main Street, to await burial on the morrow. At 10 o'clock on Tuesday the Knights of Honor, which Order the deceased was an honored mem- Der, took charge of the remains and conveyed them to the New Cemetery, where, after appropri- ate and impressive funeral serVi- ces, conducted by Rev. $. c. Al exander, of the Presbyterian Church, they were laid to rest.
 The funeral procession was one of the largest witnessed here for long time; and out of honor of the distinguished dead, both, the Hinem orAIniversity School and the Monticello Graded School dis missed, and the teachers and pu- pills attended ttle Funeral in a body.
