GONE TO HEAVEN.

DIED:-At his home near
Strawberry, little Larman-in-
fant son of Matthew G. and Ellen
Bristow. Little Larman was one
year and twenty-five days old.
He departed this life Sept. the 2.
Our sweet little babe died very
sudden, as only a few days be-
fore the Doctor had pronounced
him better. At two o'clock the
death angel visited a home where
it had never been known before.
Weep not dear papa, mamma,
brothers and sisters for the loved
one, only look forward to the
happy time when we can meet
our loved one where there will be
no more parting. Hold out faith
full to the end dear Bertha and
meet your little brother at the
right hand of God where we will
be eternally blessed.
The young, the lovely, passed
away,
Meier to be seen again;
Farth's fairest flowers to soon de-
cay,
The blasted trees remain.
Full Oft, we see the brightest
things
That lifts its head on high,
Smile in the light, then droop its
wings,
And fade away and die.
And kindly is the lesson givon;
Then dry the falling tear.
They came to raise our hearts to
heaven,
They 60 to call us there.

MUST REMAIN IN SERVlC@,

Our regiment Of Arka aas
soldiers must remain in the army
whether they want to or not. the
president of the United States
says so in effect. Two thirds OF
the men desire to be mustered
out, but their wishes will not 6e
compliedSyith beyond discharg-
ing a nqmpgr- so as to leave 1900
in the Second regiment, which is
designate@ for continuous SER
vice.
When Gov. Jones wired the
president(Tuesday insisting that
both regiments be mustered out
little hopelwas expressed by many
Of a favorable reply, inasmuch as
the secretary of war and the ad-
jutant general had 'laid the law"
so to speak, down to Adjutant
General Arthur Neill when the
latter visited Washington last
week.
Executive Mansion, Wash
ington, D, c., Sept. 7, 1898. =
Hon. Dan W. Jones Governor Of
Arkansas: Answering your
telegraphic request Of the 9Th
inst. for the muster out of both
your regiments, I have already
directed that 100000 Of the vol
unteers shall be mustered out Of
the service. This, because in my
judgement, that number can be
spared. About 100000 will re-
main, as the government now re-
quires in Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines, a larger army
than the regular military estab-
lishment affords, The muster
out as we'll as the muster in will |
be as nearly as possible accord
ing to the population of the sew
eral states. The suggestion to |
muster olt all the volunteers
fro9 y reg 11s 1st9 can not therefore
be eNlt6ftalhed. The secretary Of 7
war has already inquired Of the
governors Of the several states
what regiments, in their judge
ment, can with the least incon-
venience remain in the service,
Their advices will so far as con-
sistent with the public interests
be complied with.
