weeks ago that we, to-day, would be paying the last tribute of respect to the playfellow of our childhood, and the school-mate and friend in after life.
 Reared on a farm. he was abundantly blessed with the indis- pensible qualities of self-reliance perseverance and moral courage.
 He attended the country schools of his neighborhood until he was about twenty years of age. He then entered IIinemon University School where, after four years of hard study, he was graduated with f the highest honors of his class. Having won scholarship, he entered Ouachita College and inn mediately took first rank. He on ] ly lacked one year of graduating from that institution when he was compelled to leave on account of his health.
 No young man in the State had brighter prospects than he. Just elected principal of the literary de partment of the School for the Blind, he bid fare to soon be one of the leading educators in the State. On account of his frank open countenance and generous disposition, he was the friend of all whom he met. Kind and gen tie i'll disposition, he was loved by all; scholarly and conscientious, he was modest and unassHming firm and resolute in all undertakings 1 he was ever mindful of wounding the feelings of others. To say that he was worthy all the praises men of integrity accord to truth, just ness, integrity and honor, the life he lead, the hosts of friends he left are lasting witnesses. Grand indeed was his short and wei spent life. But it is better far tc have lived a short life well, to have lived for God and the bettermeni of humanity, to leave bright ex. ample of pure manhood as a shin. ing light to the youth of the coun- try than to have lived an age with nothing accomplished.

The Ft. Smith Elevator, whose editor was a member of the last Legislature, says: Gov. Jones has issued a proclamation declaring void Act 157, which through a blunder of the clerical force of the legislature, appears in the published acts as law, when the records show 1t was defeated in the House This was a measure providing for the or ganization of trust companies not trust companies in the sense generally implied by the term, but companies to provide securi- ty or bonds for officials, admin. istrators, etc. 1t was a good measure but failed because it's provisions were not thoroughly understood. Some of the mem bers of the house voted against 1t because they thought it bill to encourage trusts or combina- tions to control trade. Others who thoroughly understood it's provisions. voted against it be- cause they thought the word trust" in its title would imperil their chances for reelection. "
 Can 1t be possible that the people of Arkansas were repre- sented by as silly a set of nin- compoops as indicated in the above extract, from a paper ed ited by one of the members of the late lambasted We had some faint idea that some of the members were bad enough, but did not think them entirely daft.

later. The seasons, ruled by law that knows no change, come and go with unvarying regularity. Day succeeds night and the even- ing follows the morning by the di- rection of the omnipotent power. Everything, every blade of grass, every flower that buds in the spring must fade and perish in the autumn. Everything that has d beginning must have an ending. This beginning is birth the end is death. Death comes to all living things, sooner or later. Why then should we dread itf Why should we look upon it with horror? Those that die in Christ are many times better off than those that are left For the Bible says "Bless- ed are they which die in the Lord. a This Is the end of the Chris tianas greatest race, the great boon for which he has been eontending, hoping, struggling so long.
 Whether we have trodden in the paths of the stars, calculated the distance of the sun, imprisoned the lightning or fed and clothed the hungering multitude, We, it makes no difference how exalted or how degraded our station here on earth, must render unto Him who holds the records of justice m account of the deeds of this life when we pass over the dark and mystic river of the unknown. A brilliant star has just passed from our view. He, like brilliant meteor, had hardly appeared in the eastern horizon, before it sank back from our view forever.
 Beautiful stones will mark the place where he rests, and magnifi- cent flowers will blossom upon his grave. There the sweet birds will carol their loving songs which will be waited by the gentle zephyrs over the hills and through the val leys that were once made joyous by his own mellow voice. The sun in his evening splendor will paint the flowers of his grave with luxuriant colors as he passes be- yond the western hills to give place 10 his more feeble sister, who with the stars keeps watch over the remains of him whose spirit has gone

 It may be true that those who favor trusts and combines will oppose both Rector and Davis for Governor but that does not signify that the con verse of the suggestion Is true. We presume that very few peo- pie in Arkansas favors trusts and combines" and We likewise surmise that the gubernatorial material will be scarce that fla vors such doctrines, hence, the people will have an opportunity of selecting a governor who Is qualified for the exalted place, and not be forced to take some impracticable, because he is blatant i'll opposition to some thing that nobody, scarcely, in the whole state favors.
 It IS quite likely that every candidate for governor, on the Democratic ticket, will be out spoken against trusts and con- pines" and ''both Rector and Davis - will have to stand up and be measured by that stand ard that all patriots require and demagogues abhor. lis he capa- bic, IS he honest. V When meas ured by this standard, and, If not found wanting, they will re ceive just as hearty support from..the people ofthe large,,towns and cities as they will from the starms and from the small towns and from the shops.
 The people of the large towns and cities are not all cut-throats and thieves, nor are the people "from the farms and from the small towns and from the shops fools, so, in our opinion, 1t will require more than invidious classification to get either Rector or Davis into the executive chair.

THE COTTON CROP.

The New Orleans Times-Demo- crat of Tuesday contained elabor- ate reports from important towns in the South concerning the condi- ton of the cotton crop up to the first of August. The information obtained from the numerous corre- spondents Is summarized as fol- lows
 In Texas the outlook is extreme ly good with the exception of the country along the Brazos. Com plaints of injury from insects and shedding are heard, but no serions injury seems to have been done as yet.
 In Louisiana very diverse condi- tions prevail. In some sections very fattering prospects are re ported, while the outlook Is gloomy in others. There seems to be a large proportion of late cotton. the future of which Is extremely prob lematieal.
 In Arkansas the condition is generally good, although some complaints are heard.
 In Mississippi the crop Is very spotted, the delta reporting q very good outlook, while the story from the uplands is less optimistic by far.
 Alabama Is fairly good, but the crop of the state will be extremely susceptible to the vicissitudes of weather during the remainder of the season.
 In Georgia and the Carolinas the outlook Is far from reassuring. and all the advices lead to the be- lief that the yield will be distinct ly below last year.
 In the Memphis district the crop is very spotted and the ultimate re-

On several occasions We have mentioned the war in the Philip pines in such a way as to material ly decrease our standing with the administration, and yet the gory work goes OH and every day or two somebody gets hurt. We had
 hoped to get along harmoniously with the present administration, but Mr. Mckinley and the editor of this paper have opinions that are so widely divergent in places that there isn't much hopes of our getting together before spring and the gentle reader will at once perceive that our relations are somewhat strained. The Filipino is a bold, bad man, and wants to cripple the United States in some way, so he waits until there is a large and opaque chunk of gloam- ing spread over the islands and then he slips up to where the sol diers are gambling away their month $ salary and fires into q coy ey of them. Then he insolently

We have the highest regard for the medical profession. Our preparations are not sold for the purpose of antagon- lzing them, but rather as an aid. We lay 1t down as an established truth that internal remedies are positively injuri- ous to expeetant mothers.

MR. ! E. Wood, of Mariana, who says he is a candidate for Governor, is after the scalp ot Mir. Jefferson Davis, who says he wants that office.

It is over year until the election, and the peo- pie prefer rest from politics.

The strike in the coal mines of western Arkansas might have been avoided had 1t not been for the presence of three or four agi- tators who were unwilling to ac- cept anything short of their entire demands. A great majority of the miners did not want to strike, but were almost forced to join the movement by these leaders. It is deplorable fact that the good men will permit themselves to be influenced by irresponsible charac- ters and led into unproftable movements. The coal miners of western Arkansas have gained nothing thus far. On the con trary, they have lost the wages of months and the operators have lost the profits of the entire season. Left to themselves q majority of the miners would have settled their differences long ago. All good citizens must deplore the existence of strike which promises no good on either side.-Ar<. Dem.

Occasionally we are given a
lesson'showing us the necessity oil
having some adequate protection
against fire in our city. Lucky
for us these lessons do not occur
very often and losses from fire
have been very small here but no
one can tell when a fire might
break out and do great amount
of damage. If it gets a start it
will burn until all within reach
has been consumed for we have
no way of stopping it. The city
can scarcely afford to put in ex-
tensive waterworks to protect the
city but the city council could
protect the property by purchas-
ing a chemical fire engine which
would answer all purposes here
and be great benefit to the city.
We should then be prepared for
the worst and if a fire ever broke
out in our city we could success
fully meet it. The engine might
soon save more than it cost and
it would Immediately reduce in
surance rates here. Tie subject
is worth considering.
