many of them had misunderstood the
attitude of the president. and now
that this had been made clear there
will be no longer excuse for opposing

message, they argued. would clear

therefore. bring opponents within the
party face TO face with the fact that

A Confederate Monument.

There is splendid opportunity
at present to build monument to
the Confederate dead. In addition
to the 81, 140 in the hands Of the
Gazette, money which was con-
tributed for this purpose, the
Daughters of the Confederacy
have a fund which they are con-
stantly increasing by their labors
in the cause of a Confederate me-
mortal. Ten thousand dollars is
not too much to spend for such
a purpose. The Gazette will be
glad to receive subscriptions. If
a few thousand dollars more can
be raised the monument can be
built. There is hardly a doubt
that the necessary funds could
be secured if the state were di-
vided into districts and system

FOUND DEAD In BED.

Last Tuesday Thomas E. Ar
mold, an old citizen of Sullivan
township, was found dead in his
bed by members of the family on
returning from Batesville. Mr..
Arnold was at home by himself,
the other members Of his family
having gone to Batesville to the
show, and upon their return
Tuesday at noon were Mortified to
find the aged father and husband
dead in his bed. He was found
with the bedclothes over his body
and his own wearing apparel in
the customary places he left
them upon retiring at night.
which indicates that he sought
his couch as usual Monday night,
and met a painless death some
time during the night. 1t is sup

of his death. Mr.. Arnold was 6S

The White County Times gets
mushy because Jeff Davis par
doned a 13-year-old boy who
was convicted at Searcy. Perhaps
Jeff did right in the instance
referred to by the Times. He
pardons everything and every
body that applies to him, and it
would be remarkably strange if
he did no5 do the correct thing
occasionally; but where he has
exercised clemency in the proper
way once he has used it wrong.
fully a dozen times. Besides,
Jeff wouldn't take a thousand
dollars apiece for thirteen.year
old applicants for pardon. He
dotes on that age. In the next
campaign he will sniffle and cry
and wipe his nose and tell all
about II, calling upon his i'm
agination for pathetic garnish-
ments for the story, and at the
conclusion will ask: Mothers,
did do right?" There will be
a commotion in the audience, a
general activity in handkerchiefs,
and then some lusty -lunged heel
