Death of Mrs. George Arthur.

Last Wednesday, George Arthur re-
ceived by letter the sad intelligence that
bis wife is dead. The letter referred to
a telegram which had been sent, but
which Mr.. Arthur has not received, on
account of some instruction. The news
is an exceedingly sad blow to him, who
was doing all in his power to restore his
wife to health and strength.
Amelia d. Arthur, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. John o. Flanders of Maple
View, New Brunswick, was born July
26, 1860, and would have been 81 years
old had she lived a few months more
She was married seven years ago to Geo
Arthur, and together they took up theil
residence at Neihart. They have had
two children, the elder-o whom Anna
Maude soon to be six years old is with
her father at Neihart. The younger died
two years ago, in the care of the mother
-Four years ago, Mrs. Arthur, quite
feeble in health went to visit her parents
Not finding relief from the burden OF
disease she was sent to a hospital neal
the seaboard in the hope that superio,
medical attendance and nursing nigh
bring her to health. Eighteen month";
in the hospital only tended to weaker
her vital forces, and last fall she return
ed to her parents home and On Marcl
10 quietly passed away. Hasty consump
ton, which caused a series of violen
hemorrhages near the closing days, wa
her malady.
All who have lived at Neihart for thu
past five years knew Mrs. Arthur, ant
none knew but to love her. She had
comfortable home, surrounded by kim
friends, and to leave it was not accord
ing to her wishes, only that she nigh
grow stronger. Her husband, who j
one of the best citizens of camp, wei
liked by everybody, is grief-stricke
over the news.

HE St. Tammany (La.) Farmer
let's the truth escape in the follow
ing manner:
"As the business season, when
cotton begins to move and to pull
--1oney out of its hiding places, ia
now coming on, we deem it right
and opportune to notify the public
that merchants who advertise their
stores and stocks, are the men who
want business, are the men from
whom TO buy goods. Cash buyers
should keep this fact in their mem
cries that merchants too penurious
TO advertise what they have to sell
are generally hard lot to get bar.
gains from. Let readers of this
paper look over it's advertising
columns and select the merchants
whose invitations are standing out
to customers and go and deal with
such merchants when money is to
be invested in the stores IN Cove
ington. Such merchants want the
public's business, aud they will do

1t is reported that Lexington,
Richland, Goodman and Plckens
are to have negro postmasters.
We sincerely hope and trust it IL
not true. We are doing and are
getting along finely with cur negro
population, and it would be crimi-
nal to disturb these relations. If
Mr.. Mckinley, however, feels no
interest in the peace and harmony
of the races In the South, the ap-
pointment Of negro postmasters to
humiliate our people would stir up
feelings in time OF profound peace
that, should the United States gov.
eminent get into trouble with any
other power, might kindle fire In
It's rear not easily exringuished.
Our people desire quiet aud a con-
tinuation of friendly relations with
all sections OF the country, but,
above all things, peace at home.
1t might not be amiss for our con-
gresham and senator to present
and explain the import IF such APP
pointments to Mr.. Mckinley and
urge him not TO force them on our
people. There is nothing that we
know Of that would breed more
hell in q shorter period than to
place negroes in our postoffices.
1t may also require United States
troops to keep them in Office, and
we can scarce think the administra-
ton would 60 that far.

ton to send Mr.. Hanna along as
