GOV. BAXTER DEAD.

Elisha Baxter, tenth gov.
ernor of Arkansas, died at
his home at Batesville May
3lst. after a protracted i'll.
ness. The following inter.
esting history connected with
the life of the deceased is
taken from the Batesville
Guard:
In 1864 he was elected
Judge Of the Supreme Court
of Arkansas. Two weeks
later he was elected to the
United States Senate, but
that body refused to admit
him on the ground that his
State had seeded, whereup.
on he returned to Batesville
and resumed his law practice.
He was appointed Register
in Bankruptcy IN 1868 and
Circuit Judge in 1869. lr
1872 the republicans nomi'
mated him for Governor.
His opponent was Joe
Brooks, Greeley republican,
who was supported by the
democrats. One Of the most
exciting campaigns ever wit.
messed in the State followed,
The Powell Clayton admin
istration declared Baxter
elected. Brooks instituted
custer proceedings in the
Circuit Court, but the case
was not pushed. After
Baxter served q few months
the carpetbag clement, find
ing they could not use him as
a tool in the issuance of rail-
road and levee bonds and
other schemes Of public plum.

scribe to attend the Children's Day
exercises at Lebanon last Sunday, and
if Won will permit me space we will try
TO give YOUR readers a few thoughts OF
how we'll everything was carried out.
The exercises were opened with q
hvmn, after which Rev. Mr.; Williams
! led in prayel, which was followed by
short address from the pastor. There
were several recitations by young
ladies on appropriate subjects, inter
spersed with songs. One OF the most
interesting features of the exercises
was Facts About the Bible" The
questions were asked by the Superin-
teudant, and the answers given by a
class of twenty little girls and few
| little boys. We must praise this part;
for never did we hear so many small
children answer so many questions
without break. Rev. Y. !. Masters
made a short and appropriate address.
The collection was taken by four young
ladies. The programme throughout
was most interesting and impressive,
and all who participated did their parts
well. Mrs. j. 6. Dnckworth had
charge of the training OF the scholars,
which accounts for the success OF the
occasion. Miss Rosa Welborn, one OF
Lcbanon's most charming and accom-
plished young ladies, had charge OF the
singing, and this accounts for the
school having such mclodious music
In short, the Lebanon congregation
deserve much praise for the success OF
the occasion. May the richest bless
ings of Heaven attend the c0nErc-
cation. CnAs. II. CtRTEH.
