This is undoubtedly one of the finest amateur companies in the South and should 1t decide, or desire, to go on the road it would doubtless meet with success from the beginning. The compa- ny is composed of some of Arkan- sas City's most graceful and most beautiful young ladies and some of of its most gallant and most intelli- gent young men, and we highly appreciate their visit to our city and their most extraordinary effort to please We hope to have them with Us again, and often.

NJ Hughes, was born in Maury county, Tenn, Dec. 21, 1854; came to Drew coun- ty, Ark, in the year 1879; was married to Miss Anna Hankins, near Monticello, Ark, Dec. 2I, 1882, and was killed, accidentally, by piece of falling timber, Sept I, 1897, being 42 years, months and 10 days old. He leaves good wife, five sweet children and a host of friends and relatives tc mourn his untimely death. He was an affectionate husband, | kind father, steadfast friend, . generous neighbor, successful farmer and a good citizen. Above all, he was an earnest christian man, having obeyed the gospel 1T early life, before leaving his na tive home in Tenn. The writer oi these lines has often enjoyed tn, hospitality of his christian home and deeply sympathizes with tho bereaved wife and fatherless chil dren, left dependent on a mother care. May He who "drieth mourner's tear" ever keep anc conlfort them.

"They are Joined to Their Idols.

The Populist Central Committee met here last Saturday evening and decided to remain "in the middle of the road. The Committee called township and county meet ings for the nominating of candi- dates, and will probably put out a full county ticket. Considering the fact that that party has gone to peices nearly everywhere, and knowing its extreme weakness in this county and State, the action of the Committee seems very fool ish to Us. We see no necessity or sense in a division of the reform forces and had hoped for better re- suits from the Populists of this sec ton.

Death of MT. J. W. Manees.

It is with feeling of deepest sor- row that We have to chronicle the demise of our old friend, MT. W. Manees, which occurred at the home of his son Mr. K, Manees, one mile and half west of this city. NIT. Manees was 73 years old, but was in good health and was quite vigorous for one of his age. He was in town on the morn ing of his death, had returned home and attended to some work about the place, and just about the time he reached the house he dropped dead, t is supposed, from paraly- sis of the heart. His death oc- cured on the Ist inst. The funeral services were conducted by Revs. $. C. Alexander, of this city, and N. C. Denson, of Warren. Mir. Manees was, and had been for many years d consistent member of the Baptist Church. His funeral was largely attended by mourning relatives and friends. He was one of our oldest as well as one of oul best citizens and his death is uni versally regretted. He leaves sev. eral grown up sons and daughter: and many other relatives to mourn his death, all of whom have oul heartfelt coincidence.
