DIED.

DEDMAN--ln Pine Bluff, Ark, Fri day, November ,. 1897, at s o'clock D. m. MT. R. r. DEDMAN, aged 51 years.
 That Grim Reaper, Death, has again entered the happy family cir cle of home in this city and cast a pail over it, and left anguish and tears behind as a memento of his visit. The family circle is now broken. and member of the circle the husband and father-now sleeps in a grave in our City of the Dead
 The deceased, Mr R. P Dedmau, was an old resident of the State. He, with his family, recently moved to this city from Calhoun county, this State, where he was highly esteemed, and for q number of years. was County and Probate Judge. He also filled other offices of trust and honor, and in manner, too, that won for him the plaudits of his friends ard neigh bors. After his removal 10 Pine Bluff he rapidly made friends of those with whom he came in contact and his untimaly death will be deep ly lamented by all who knew him.
 A few weeks ago Mir Dedman was stricken with typhoid fever, which caused his death. The day before his final summons came, he seemed to realize that his earthly work was done, for he called his family around his bedside and one by one bade them final farewell and urged each member to meet him in that land where there is no death, no parting and no sorrcw. After this his strength rapidly declined, until about 8 o'clock Friday evening, when his spirit peacefully and gent lly left it's earthly tenement.
 Mr. Dedman was a devoted hus- band, a loving father, faithful friend. He leaves a wife and eight children to miss his protection and loving care. May God, in his mer- cy and goodness, give them courage and strength to bear their affiiction.
 The remains of Mr. Dedman were inferred in Bellwood Cemetery Sat urdav afternoon.
