Extracts From the Comments of the
state Press.

From the Augusta (Ga) Chronicle
The people of Augusta are very proud
Of the military achievements of Gen. Nc
Laws He won his high rank by reason
of his merits as a soldier.
Perhaps. there were soldiers in either
army with more brilliant records, but
there was no better, braver soldier in the
confederate or federal army than Gen.
Lafayette McLaws.
Augusta has reason to be proud of her
sons, and so has Georgia for the honors
which they have conferred on her by their
valor and patriotism. Georgia had no
truer son and the southern confederacy
no braver officer than Maj. Gen. Lafayette
McLaws. After life's duty, nobly perform
ed. he sleeps In the bivouac OF the dead
on fame's eternal camping ground. All
honor TO the memory of the grand soldier
whose highest ambition was 70 do his

HARRISON-ID Pine Bluff, Ark. Sunday, August 9. 1897, Mrs. PAR MEIIA MARTHA HARRISON, eoDsOrt of Judge W. D. Harrison; aged 67 years.
 The death of the above estimable lady occurred yesterday afternoon, after lingering illness, and, while not unexpected, if has cast deep gloom over this community.
 The deceased WIS born July b. 1890, in Kinds county, Mississippi. She was a daughter of Wm II. and Maehaly Fairehid Her early mar ried life was spent q Monticello, this State. Shenas= the mother of seven children, five of whom survive her, viz: John O.. of Fayetteville, Wm. H., Jr., of Indian i sX. beni. E., of Washington, D. c James and Mrs. C. H. Owens, of this city.
 Mrs. Harrison was a lovely char- aeter. During her life she Was q devout Christian, being q member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and she was ever an earnest worker in the cause of Christ.
 As wife and mother, she so pre- sented and exemplified divine truth, patience, wifely love and obedience that her husband and children called her blessed, and to them her memory will ever be sacred even while bright flowers are blooming atoye her sleeping dust.
 She was the incarnation of good ness, and her power and influence over those with whom she came in contact was immense. IS friem', she was all that tke word implicit Many were the good deeds that her right hand did, without her left hand knowing it. Her Beighbors and friends were under many obliga- tions to her for kindnesses, and the poor had cause to bless her for deeds of charity, bestowed without osten- tation and with true Christian spirit. Her loss is a loss which will be greatly felt by the community
 To the bereaved husband, children and relatives, words are but feeble to express sympathy, yet may they take comfort in the thoughts that God plucks from us those whom are dear to Him. He plunges us into sorrow to sanctify us that we may escape the sorrow to come. Every trial, brayely borne, is sanetified each wound is a scar Of glory, ard each drop of grief will glitter | diamond in the Christian < crown ot bliss.
 Could that white srohed company that has gone Def lore be permitted tf spaek to us, we should hear them from the heights of bliss exclaiming Weeping may endure for the night but joy cometIl in the morning. Int night is already past, the day is ai hand. Then. lift Hp your heads, foi the time of yonrredemption dra wetl nigh?'

After Going Through Arkansas, Vice President Warner is We'll Pleased
 With Pros.
 poets

Vice. President Warner, of the Gould lines, who recently made I trip Of inspection in Arkansas, has given his opinion or the outlook. He says: HThe condition of the corn crop over the country traversed by the Missouri Pacific was never bet ter than at this season, and a large yield is expected. The cotton crop in the South, over the Iron Noun tain road, will be an average crop in some districts above the average. The cotton crop along the line of the Texas and Pacific, trans-con- tinental and eastern divisions, never looked better than at this season and is in excellent condition, and so far as appearances go it could not be better. The same condition ex- ists as far south as Alexandria, La. In southern Texas, however, the stalk appears to be shorter, but the fruit is heavy. I have just returned from a trip over the southwestern country and talked with the mer- chants, planters and others, and the universal opinion was that the crops were all that could be desired The sawmills along the line of the Iron Mountain are running under full orders. The car movement has ln- creased tc the full capacity of our equipment. Prices on all eommo- dities have increased. Freight earnings are showing steady anu satisfactory increase. Passengar earnings are lot quite equal to those of the preceding years. Rates are well maintained. The railroads are not participatingin the rate war be- tween the steamship lines between New York and Galveston. It Is hoped that this struggle will soon be over.
 The traffic agents of the Cotton Belt or St. Louis Southwestern, state that the cotton crop for the southwest is considerably better than last season. Along the line Of the road, except in south central Arkansas, it is very much improved. Lumber business is improving greatly. The car movement shows a handsome increase over last year. Information indicates that the price of lumber is increasing and other commodities in proportion. The increase for freight and passenger traffic is very satisfactory ove. a wear ago. Rates on both freight and passenger business are well maintained. None of the rail lines in Arkansas, Texas or Louisiana are participating in the steamship light between New York and Galvestoths
