WITH AN AXE.
A Negro Almost Kills H. J. scruggs
 on sheppasd's Island.

With hand axe, Jim Henry, a big negro brute came within an inch of killing H. J. Seruggs, on shep. pard's Island few miles south of Pine Bluff on the Arkansas river Saturday.
 The manner in which the assault came about is as follows. Scruggs is hard working white man, having one boy to support. He is sepa- rated from his wife, but she still lives on the island. Saturday some dishes were stolen from Scruggs' home and later in the afternoon. the negro, Jim Henry, panied by Mrs. Scruggs came to Scruggs' home and he asked Henry if he had taken or known who had taken the dishes. Henry grabbed up a hand axe lying near and Seruggs made for rear window to escape, it was locked and Henry struck him in the side with the axe. Scruggs fell and Henry dealt him another blow, on the head. Henry's wife, who had just come into the house, interfered and prevented Henry from killing Seruggs, as he expressed his desire to do. Henry and the white woman left the house together, Henry remarking as he stepped from the door, If you don't die from that. Til come back and finish the job. A doctor dressed seruggs wounds, taking sixteen stitches in the opening on his head.
 Henry was arrested and brought to town and now lodges in the county jail awaiting trial.

wh., to Do Until, the Doctor Strives.

It is very hard to stand idly by and see our dear ones suffer while awaiting the arrival of the doctor. An Albany (N. Y.) dairymaa called at drug store there for doctor tn come and see his child, then very sick with croup. Not finding the doctor in, he left word for him to come at once on his return. He also bought a bottle of Chamberlain Cough Remedy. which he hoped would give some relief until the doctor should arrive. In a few hours he returned, saying the doctor need not come, as the child was much better. The druggist, Mr. Otto Scholz, says the family has since recon mended Cham berlain's Cough Remedy to their neighbors and friends until he has a constant demand for it from that part of the country.

JUDGE SORRELLS IS DEAD BREATHED HIS LAST EARLY SUNDAY
 MORNING. CAREER OF USEFULNESS.
A Grand Character-Loved, Honored and Esteemed
 by All.

The grim reaper of, death has again visited Pine Bluff aud. remov ed from it one of our oldest eitizens and 8 man who was for many years a prominent factor in both legal and political circles in Arkansas-Judge Tbeodoric F. Sorrells.
 That venerable and highly esteem ed old gentleman died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. ". L. De- woody, at the corner of Fourth and Laurel streets, Sunday morning at o'clock. He was 79 years of age. His long career was a useful and profitable one and filed with many charitable deeds, which will ever finger in the soft spots of the hearts of those who were the recipients of his kindness. He was always cour= teous and favors were never too dis tant to accommodate friend.
 For years he was an earnest and consistent member of the Methodist church and labored feithfully to up build 1t. H was was a true, kind, thoughtful and diligent SOD, hus- band and father, and friend wor- tEy of the confidence of all. He was a man in every sense of the word and 70 better evidence {. his con- servatism aud great moral worth could be given than the fact that several important and most respon- spoasible offices were conferred up- on him during his existence.
 He was a bold and original think CT. and never a slave to the dogmas of either religion or politics. To his friends, and especially to his broth CTS before the bench, he was always as courteous and dignified as if in the presence Of refined ladies. He was modest and unassuming, but with his intimate friends he was one of the most congenial and eompan- 1 ionable of men. No man bore less malice than he. Judge Sorrells was eminently selt made man, owing his success mostl J to his integrity, energy, application, perseverance, andtkind manners; his talents were far above medlocrity, and his mental training first class. The recent death of his life long friend, Judge w. M. Harrison, for whom he had the tenderest affection, left last ing and profound sorrow in bis heart.
 Judge Sorrells leaves several de voted children to mourn his death. They are Mesdames W. L, Dewoody, Tom Gillespie, Messrs. T. F. Sor. rels and Prosecuting Attorney Walter B. Sorrells, of this city and Will F. Sorrells. of Hot Strings, To them we extend our sincerest sympathy and heartfelt condolenee.
 All that is mortal of Judge Sor rells was laid to rest in Bellwood cemetery this (MondaJl afternoon beneath a wilderness of flowers The funeral services were copducted by Revs. J. F. Carr and J. A. An. derson at the Main street Method ist church at 3 o'clocK. The pal bearers were Messrs. James Gould, N. T. Roberts, J. W. Crawford, R. H. M. Mills, R. M. Knox and c. B Valiant.
 Hallum, the author of the famous biographical history o. Arkansas, has the following to say of Judge Sorrells:
 Judge Sorrells was bora in Bed ford county, Tennessee, Dec. IS. 1921,
