 SMITHsoN.-Mrs. NJ a t t i e Smithson, wife of w. D. Smith son, died at her home at Lowell. Ark, Dec. ?, 1898, at the age of about 56 years.
 A large number of friends and relatives attended the funeral services at the c. P. Church. and many witnessed the final ceremonies at the grave. How suddenly the light, joy and sunshine died out of the home circle when her precious life expired. She was greatly loved by all who knew her, and not a few in the final day will "call her blessed"
 She was sick only nine days with that dreaded disease pneumonia. When it was evi- dent that she must go she quietly resigned the cares of life, and entered the chamber of death, with the calmness of 8 christian, knowing in whom she had trusted. Committing her husband and children into the hands of God, and herself to Him who said, Fl am the res urrection and the life," breathed away her existence here iD good hope of eternal happiness in Heaven.
 By His grace may the hus band and children say in time, "The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord"
 She was the mother of eight children. who, with their father, live to mourn their irreparable loss. A FRIEND.
 WATsoN.-James l.. Watson was called from his earthly pilgrimage to his heavenly home Oct. IS, 1898, after a lingering illness of over a years duration, during which time his faith and trust in his Lord never wavered, neither was there ever a murmur or com plaint heard, but a calm. peace full hope pervaded his whole being.
 Brother Watson was one of those every day christians, whose spiritual life was always about the same, and never varied much by his physical condition, nor his environ ments. He always knew in whom he had believed, and hls faith never needed bolstering up. For him 10 live was Christ, and when too near the end to speak, he manifested his interest and delight in the singing of a favorite hymn by his earnest look of approval.
 He was born in Roane Co.,, Tenn, September 15, 1S4S, born again in October, 1868, and united with the Paw Paw Plains Baptist church. He re moved to Washington Co.,, Ark, in 1870 and united with the Springdale Baptist church.

OBITUARIES.

GoDDARD.-Lila, daughter of J. D. and Abbie Goddard was born Dec. 13, 1877, and died Nov 4, 1898, of typhoid fever. Her sickness was of short dur ation, and her death was a very great shock to all who knew her.
 She was converted in the year of 1893, at a meeting held by Rev. Irwin Harris. at Prairie Grove, Ark. She was an ac- ceptable member of the Baptist Church at the time of her death. All was done that could be done to keep her with us but God knew best. It was hard to give her up, but earth has one angel less and Heaven one more. She is now resting on the bosom of her Saviour. She leaves a father, mother, sister and brother to mourn her loss.

An Old Family Bible.

Mrs. Billiard, the daughter Of the
late Rev. Edward Oldrin, who lives on
Bank street, Stamford, Conn, owns
probably the oldest Bible in existence
in the state. The Bible came into her
possession by inheritance from her fa-
ther, who was pastor Of the Methodist
church there, when the Hoyt brothers,
two Of them, Oliver and William, ia
nous as millionaire leather merchants
in the "Swamp," New York, became
members Of that church. The book is
in the original binding and well pre-
served, the Old Testament part having
been printed in 1897 and the New Tes-
lament in 1896. The covers are Of
wood, and the book is the size Of the
family Bible seen in the house Of al
most every New England family. In
scribed on the yellow fly leaf are the
words:
Edward Oul1dron owns this book,
and after his death to his son Edward
Oulldron. given by his grandmother
1851"
Later on it appears that the spelling
of the family name had been changed,
for below the name "John Oldrin" is
the inscription:
Edward Oldrin's book, given by his
father on his deathbed in the 1897, Ju-
ly %, to be kept in the family"

HANNA's oRAcuLAR VIEWS.
Says the United States Must Take Its
Place In the East.

Says the United States Must Take Its
Place In the East.
On the eve Of his departure from St
Paul for Duluth recently Senator Mark
Hanna expressed strong and emphatic
American views Of the settlement Of
the peace negotiations. When asked ii
he was in favor Of the annexation Of the
Philippine islands, he replied:
81 am strongly in favor of the reten-
tion of the fortified harbor of Manila
for use as naval station. The time has
come when we must take our place in
the orient All the powers Of Europe
now realize that we have just claim
in the affairs of the far east. do not
think the United States will share in
or become involved through the parti-
tion of China, which is about to be con-
summated. We will not seek to acquire
any Chinese territory.
"But let me say this: With strong
foothold in the Philippine islands, and
the occupancy of well fortified harbor,
and limitless anchorage for the ships
of trade, we can and will take large
slice of the commerce Of Asia. That is
what we want. We are bound to share
in the commerce Of the far east, and it
is better to strike for it while the iron
is hot."
"You have been quoted as being of
the opinion that the United States will
possess Cuba within 20 years. Is that
your opinion?'
"It is not. I have never made state
ment of that sort, but do believe that
the United States will dominate Cuba
in 30 years, and there is vast differ
enoe between owning and dominating.
The force Of our national character and
the push of our commerce will dominate
the island.
"Cuba has magnificent possibili-
ties if properly managed. The war
will result in a great revival Of trade,
but that is not the greatest reason for
the revival which is being felt. The
paramount cause of the improved and
improving conditions is in the return
Of the supreme confidence of the people.
There could have been no revival with
out confidence.
ST believe that this country is on the
eve Of the greatest commercial epoch in
its history. Every line of industry will
be stimulated. The factories Of the coun-
try already feel the stimulus. and the
output is daily increasing. There may
be some revision Of the revenue provi-
sions necessary, but it will all tend to
create better times and equalize all con-
ditions. Chicago Tribune.

Mr.. Kings Eloquent Expression OF His
Gratitude and Patriotism.
Charles King, who owns pie bak-
cry in Jersey City, and is patriotic
American citizen Of German descent,
visited the cruiser New York while she
was lying at Tompkinsville, N. Y. He
was received with SO much courtesy that
he determined to show his appreciation
by treating the Jackies to feast Of
pies. Last Saturday he sent this letter
to Lieutenant Commander Potter Of the
New York:
DEAR S1R-Havfng had the pleasure Of being
shown about your gallant ship and desiring to
show my appreciation Of that favor as well az
to show my personal gratitude for the glorious
services rendered by our noble navy beg
permission to furnish the crews Of the ships in
harbor with a shipment Of that Yankee deli
cacy commonly known as pie. feel satisfied
that the boys will not object to this partial
change and guarantee that there will be no Ill
effects. I would crave your permission and
desire you to inform me as to the number OF
men aboard each vessel. If you can let me
know by Monday next, will have the pies
shipped on Tuesday. Hoping you will afford
me, as n citizen of the United States, this op-
portunity of adding to the comfort of our sail
ors while in this vicinity, remain respectfully
yours, CHARLES Killing.
On Monday night Mr.. Killing received
this telegram:
Letter received too late TO reply by mail
Following ships are at the navy yard: New
York, COO men; Oregon, 525 mon; Iowa, 55e
men At Tenpkinsville are: Brooklyn, 5a
men; Massachusetts, 500 men: Indiana 5S
men, and Texas. 400 men.
Mr. King at once employed extra
men and soon shipped $500 pies to the
navy yard. Then he sent like number
to the ships at Tompkinsville. There
were apple, peach, lemon, huckleberry,
mince, pineapple and plum pies in the
lot, and they were all fat and robust.

Brice and his supposed interviewer did
not exchange five words. They couldn't.
Many Of the Cubans think that as
soon as the Americans come they are
going to put the Spaniards out bag and
baggage. They are happy over it. Co
lumbus' bones are being dragged into
the general misunderstanding today.
Some high priced dreamer got it into
his head that the United States was 60
ing to seize the bones Of the venerated
discoverer. "These bones are ours, ours
alone, and Spain cannot abandon them
to the insults or Indifference Of an
inimical race" he exclaims.
Ell Noticiero Universal this evening
makes laughable attempt to locate the
future position of the Spaniards in Gu
ba. The article also indicates some Of
the popular misconceptions as to the in
tentions of the American government.
1t begins with an expression of satisfao-
tion that the American press has more
or less changed its opinion Of the Gu
bans, but sees very little on the horizon
for the Spaniards, no matter which
way the cat jumps.
"What are the Spaniards to do, fac
ing this black future?" it asks. care
we inclined to help the insurgents or
are we inclined to favor the Yankees?
The sentimentalism Of blood and race
alone calls us to the insurgents. If they
rule, we will have to leave this coun-
try in order not to become the victims
Of their hatred.
"The instinct Of preservation calls us
to the Yankees, because we are at least
bound to confess without hypocrisy that
they are people of order. But sooner
or later we will be driven out Of the
island by them, and we will never be
able to forget that they are the people
who ruined us. What, then, have we
to do? This is our opinion:
1--WE must be only Spaniards; ANAL
gamate, form powerful colony detail
ed in every way to help the prestige Of
the fatherland; leave the insurgents
and the Yankees to settle their own dis
putes, and when they have solved the
problem we will decide as to our future
course, after having studied the pros
and cons Of our own interests. I"
For a reason unannounced the au-
thorities have raked up an old law
which declares that no prisoner shall
wear chains, although chains have been
in vogue here for % years. The con-
victs who work on the streets are no
longer to wear leg chains. People be-
lieve that the authorities are now will
ing to let prisoners escape in order to
avoid the expense of them.
An American who has been in
MORO Castle, who has been mobbed in
the streets Of Havana, who has been
pelted and hooted throughout the prov
ince Of Havana because he was an
. American, said to me today:
"oh, to see the regulars come up
Obispo street, We are all waiting for
Il. !" He had memory for his wrongs,
but we are all the same about one thing
we want to see the regulars march up
