A Jasper, Ind, special says:
Catherine Ferry, an intelligent
woman, 81 years old, has come
here in a badly bruised condition.
She alleges that some Of her
neighbors charge her with witch
craft and held her responsible
whenever a death occurred in the
neighborhood, whether OF man or
beast. A horse owned by a
neighbor became unmanageable,
and he charged that the animal
was bewitched, and he assaulted
Mrs. Ferry with a blacksnake
whip, knocking her down and
beating and kicking her. She
also alleges that he threatened to
kill her, and that he fired three
shots at her home.

that no such ignorance exists in

Then And Now.

The Ola Pilot commenting on
Gov. Jefferson Davis in general
makes these true remarks:
"He has but verified and prov
en- the statements made by the
Pilot during the campaign to the
effect that he was not sincere in
many of the positions he assumed
on the stump. He was not the
one-gallus fellow he would have
the people believe him to be in
the canvass; the progressive pro-
ject of erecting a new state cap
itol has not developed into the
two-million dollar steal which he
branded it a year or 80 ago. On
the contrary it was laudable
enough to receive the official
stamp of the governors approval;
the railroads, telegraph and tele-
phone companies are far better
institutions and of a greater nee
essity to the advancement and
development Of the state, than
the governor appeared to think
not long since; Arkansas is not
half so trust-ridden as many were
led to believe at the time of the
last election; the governor only
recently sat supinely by and saw
his chief legal advisor, the attor-
ney general, dismiss the suits
which the former had instituted
against the alleged ice trust at
Little Rock; the state house and
penitentiary gangs are not so
corrupt that the billowy waves Of
Red river need be called into
service; the supreme court has
been miraculously transformed
from "five long-eared donkeys"
to quintet Of honorable gentle
men and jurists with ears Of only
ordinary propensities; the five
thousand citizens of Little Rock
who stood ready to assassinate
the newly elected governor have
turned out to be mere men Of
straw whom the candidate would
stand up and knock down as the
occasion demanded; the "stink-
ing little squirrel-headed editors"
Heaven bless 'em, but not as
Davis did-are no longer such
colossal monuments of ignorance
and depravity; they now shine
forth with increasing glory and
brilliancy as the injured and
abused champions of good gov
ernment, a higher and nobler
standard Of citizenship, and a
greater and wealthier Arkansas.
If the governors conscience ever
rises up and smites him for the
ridiculous attacks he made on the
press, mere evidence OF. the
fact will be a sufficient apology
to the big hearted quill drivers
whose thoughts are conceived
and prosecuted in an atmosphere
of unselfish devotion to the best
intereSts of the state.'
