Obituary

Once more it becomes our sad duty to chronicle the work of death and once more one of the brightest jewels of earth has past to his reward on high. On last Sunday Dec, 8th, 1901, after a few days illness with the croup Master Perano Thomas son ot MT. and Mrs. I. E. Thomas was called home to dwell with Jesus in the realms of glory above. He was born May, 18th, 1897 near Wiville, Ark. making him four years and nearly seven months of-age at the time of his death. He was a bright little boy, the flower and joy of the home but his sweet voice is hushed forever; his little chair is vacant and home seems deserted.
 "He is not dead but sleepeth. , We look about us in vane for com fort and consolation.
 Friends may offer their sym. pathy and condolence but it re- mains for Christ our loving Sa- vior to pour his love upon the troubled waters and soothe our anguished breasts. He alone can comfort us by pointing to us the heaven above where loved ones are waiting and beckoning us to join them in the realms of ever lasting bliss.
 The News extends it S sympa- thy to the bereaved relatives.

an early start. Of course as everyone knows this explains why the dogs had all taken up their beds and fled. Everyone was satisfied and no more ques- tions were asked out of respect for MT. Phillips.
 As Jeff Spradlin never was very successful at hunting with out dogs, he would not venture out from camps at all. There was nice large blackgum stump near about which Jeff sat away the most precious hours of that day. Someone told us that he had a bucket full of Brunswick Stew settling near him. It seem ed that he had the contract to empty this bucket with a tin cup of some kind. Everyone knows, who knows anything about such business, that this was quite an undertaking for Jeff. Nothing however daunts him. He sat by that stump and actually emptied that five gallon bncket. He did his work well, but his looks and  actions were not as they ordinar. fly are after completing this task. Between acts, he would contin- ually call Dave Burkett bv his pet name. On the following morn ing, someone asked Jeff about the Brunswick Stew and he said James E. was the cause of it all,

Governor Davis He Makes Three Speeches in

Gov. Jefferson Davis spent Sat- urday in Craighead county. He spoke in the morning at Brock land to about 5000 people, at Bo- no in the afternoon to an audience equally as large and at Jonesboro at night to a good sized-crowd. The circuit court room was near ly full of people and Gov. Davis was applauded enthusiastically.
 Whatever else may be said to his discredit, it must be admitted by all who heard him that he is at least honest. He explained the matter of bis opposition to the new State Capitol, said he favor ed new building, but he wanted it built where the old capitol now stands and that he wanted a struct- ure built that would not cost over $1, 100000. He told about the cruel treatment of the prisoners at the camps and of the worse than criminal treatment of the in- sane at the asylum. He gave an account of his Stewardship, and
 said if he had another man like

Wes Crockett he could run the full strength of Red river through the capitol tomorrow, but he said we've got Red River started. 1" Gov. Davis charged that Senator Jones had been the cause of the defeat of the antitrust bill before the last legislature. He said Sen ator Jones caused the defeat of the bill, because the American Cotton Co, was included in it's provisions. He also charged that Senator Jones had taken the bank rupt law and skeduled on debts of honor which he had never paid. and defied the senator or anybody else to contradict the charges.
 We do not know the sentiment of the country, but the senti- ment of those whoheard MT. Davis Saturday night was certainly and unmistakably with the governor. He is fearless and outspoken in in whatever he says-don't mince words. He calls spade a spade a trust a trust.
 There is either one of two things either he speaks falsely or there is, or has been whole lot of cor rnption in high places. He either speaks falsely or Senator Jones is unworthy the confidence and support of the people-Jones- boro Enterprise.

might wound the wildcat and
 not killit In snch an event, it might bebome extremely danger
 ous for the inmates of the camp.
 Consequently, he did not shoot the wild-beast. He is a very con- siderate young man. On the next day, he is said to have been out on tree which had fallen into the water, and being great ma gician with the finny tribe, our friend soon had the fish of the bayou so charmed that they float
 ed to the tree to be petted by him. He leaned over to pet the friendly fish and while thus en- gagged picking up the fish under his magic spell, he began to have a little too much confidence in himself and thought perhaps he could walk upon the waters as did Christ of old. But his avoir- dupOis had no sooner touched the surface of the water than he found to his amazement that his
 faith was not strong enough. So he fell in the water up under his shoulders. While he realized his position, the fish never did find out the truth of the situation. He just kept on gathering the watery creatures as if he were selling goods behind the counter. No other adventures of note happen ed that day and as the hunters were all weary, they soon retired for the night. Early next morn ing somewhere about 3 or 4 o'clock, the dogs began to howl and whine about the camp and Bob Smith arose in his majestic way to see what the trouble might be, but he could see noth- ing and of course returned to his slumbering couch once more. As day began to break in tbe east and the sun began to throw kiss es of golden sunshine over all creation, the hunters arose re- freshed by their nights repose.
 Bob Smith who is very fond of dogs went out to see if the dogs
 were still around. He saw noth- ing of them anywhere. He whis- tied, but no dogs could be seen or heard. Bob returned and told
 the others of the absence of the dogs, and while thus engaged,
