Senator Douglass Passes Away.

After comparatively short illness and
In spite of every attention from the best
medical talent at the state capital Sem
ator Jas. K. P. Douglass passed away
last Monday at 1 :45P PM.
The remains were prepared and &C
com panied by a delegation of members
fro n both branches of the legislature,
were conveyed to his former home, a
mile south of Alma.
Tuesday afternoon many of the friends
Of the late senator from his town and
Van Buren met to pay their last respects
to the memory of man whom they had
always found true to every trust i'm
posed upon him.
According to the wish of Senator
Douglass his remains were inferred on
the home place beside those of his
father. The services were conduced by
Rev. Bascomb of the Presbyterian
church of Van Buren and he was fol-
lowed by Senator Ferguson who in a
few words paid feeling tribute to the
character of the deceased.
Senator Douglass left no near rela-
tives to our knowledge, Messrs. George
and Charles Douglass of this city being
nephews of the deceased.
Senator James Knox Polk Douglass
was born in Polk county, eastern Ten
nessee, February 25, 1S41 and at the time
OF his death represented the Twenty fifth
senatorial district, composed of Craw-
ford and Franklin counties. He re-
ceiyed liberal academical education,
supplemented by collegiate course at
Emory and Henry College of Virginia.
While attending school the war broke
out and he enlisted in the Confederate
service, Lookout artillery, and served
till the end, being paroled at Meridian,
Miss. He then went to Banks county,
Georgia, where he remained until 1873,
when he came to Arkansas, settling in
Crawford county, one mile south of
Alma. He was engaged in planting and
milling. Senator Douglass was elected
to the state senate September, 1896, and
was one of the leading members in both
sessions. Since reaching the senate in
1896 his principal efforts have been di-
rected toward improving our fencing
laws, exempting from tax manufact-
uring enterprises, securing railway
commission, and he has been earnest in
his efforts toward the refunding and pay
ment of interest on the state debt, and
i'll every way concientiously tried to
represent the people who had elected
him. OF him it can be said that he did
his duty as he saw it, and what better
could be said of any man.

Undertaken and Funeral Director.

Now can be seen the difference of
slipshod and thorough methods in the
cultivation of berries The man who
worked his berries will make the money
and the other fellow will grit his teeth
and grumble at hard times while he
wears out his jack knife whiting dry
goods boxes.
Rev. j. b. Stevenson returned to Van
Buren last Friday night. He left with
the intention to come back but when he
arrived home found he could not do so.
For about twelve days he expounded
the scriptures faithfully, clearly and
ably, which was not in vain, for chris.
tians were quickened and irreligious
persons awakened and converted. The
reverend gentleman has the gratitude
and esteem of very large number of
Ozark s people. Ozark Democrat.

Be Consistent.

Why do the United Mine Workers of
America patronize non union sheet
The Fort Smith Times-to state their
case, and ask the support of organized
labor. They should be consistent and
not support a paper that makes long
face for one branch of organized labor,

and uses what is known in printers par

John Temple Graves.

The 189S-99 lecture course was closed
last Friday by the above named celebrat-
ed Southern lecturer, and to say that our
people were pleased at the words Of
wisdom and truth that fell from the
speaker s lips for two hours would not
express it. The interest in and quality
Of the lectures had increased as each
successive lecturer appeared here and the
season could not have been more fitting
ly crowned than by that masterpiece of
the lecturers art 1.-The Reign of the
Demagogue falling from the lips of so
matchless an orator as John Temple
Graves.
Every one was pleased at the forcible
expression and the ungloved manner in
which Mr.. Graves handled that great
est of all menaces to society-of course
we would in this case have to except the
demagogue, of which every community
possess some, were he present.
On all sides we hear the hope ex-
pressed that there be no opportunity
lost to have another lecture course
signed for the season of 1899-1900. To
Prof. Peacher who was principally in
strumental in having the lecturers ap-
pear here the community owes world
of thanks, for there can be no better
means of elevating the intellectual
standing of community than a good
series of lectures. Who of those who
intelligently listened to the lectures de-
iivered here this past season has not
been benefited by them?
