Obituary.

Dr. White. father of Mrs. Barnsby of this city, died here Sunday morning at 3:l5 and was buried yesterday. Dr. White had reached the advanced age of S5 years and had recently come to Bisbee to visit his daughter, leaving wife and other members of his family at his home at Kingston, N.sM. For many years Dr. White had practiced dentistry. being one of the oldest il not the oldest dentist of the territory in which he lived The deceased was a personal friend of Postmaster Pritch- ard with whom he had been acquaint- ed for many years. The funeral ser vices were conducted by Mir. G. G. Pritchard and Rev. Shields.
 Although the deceased had lived be- yond the allotted years of man and had done much good, his death was sad, coming ss it did in his absence from home.
 DIEn-At Naco, Sunday evening at o'clock, baby David Morgan, infant son of Mrs. Grace Morgan.
 After short illness of pneumonia the patient little sufferer sank into a sweet, peaceful sleep that is only brok- en in the world beyond. The tolls of this tempestuous life with its uncer- tainties and its cares have been spared this little heart. God in His wisdom is always kind. To begin the joys of eternan life when the sorrows of mortal life are spared, is boon which not all of us can claim. What the little wanderers mission was upon this earth we can never know beyond conjecture.
 To the mother whose life is pene- trated with sorrow at this great af- fiiction and whose experience in life has been sad and bitter, we extend a word of sympathy and encouragement. Every life devoted to a noble endeavor is in degree heroic-and the life of a mother sacrifsed for the cblld or the loving child living only for the parent is truly brave.

| vexation at his own indiscretion. To
| him the whole quarrel appeared ridic-
| ulously inadequate and insignificant;
| certainly no sufficient reason why he
! and Julia should not meet as usual.
| What had a mans political opinions
| to do with his fitness as a good hus-
band? The colonel seemed to think
that the war was still a living issue
and he appeared to regard being a Re-
publican as a species of immortality.
Hills forgot that the federal army
| had swept over DascOmb's place, burn
ed his house and his cotton, and freed
] his slaves. He had gone to the war d
rich man and he had come back poor,
but Dascomb could have forgiven that
What he could not forget was that
the carpet baggers remained to des-
poll the south and to fill the negroes
with pernicious notions of equality.
Colonel DdScomb was a Democrat as
naturally as he was a Presbyterian;
both had come to him by inheritance.
Hills told himself that the worst OF
ii was that he had allowed Dascomb
to identify him with the spoismen who
were looting the public treasury in
the name of the Republican party,
whereas he was in reality as much OPP
posed to that sort of thing as the
Colonel himself. He admitted to him

intelligence of the state We're in the
Democratic party; but that was merely
another way of saying that Arkansas
was southern state. 1t was a moot
question with the young Doctor
whether it would be better to leave
matters the way they We're or to hand
them back into the hands of the other
party. But he would never have con-
fessed as much to the Colonel.
The magic of the spring wooed the
young man to optimism. He told him
self that the barrier which had been
raised between him and his love was
insubstantial and would soon disap-
pear. 1t was preposterous to suppose
that at this age of the world such
skindeep distinctions were vital.
However, it did not increase Hills

large covered veranda around the
house, cut in two by the regulation
wide open gallery" from front to
rear. The honeysuckle and English
aVy vines ran riot over the piazza,
and at one corner a clump of rose
bushes bloomed.
Robert Hills eyes swept the gal
aery' and the front windows, and
were gladdened by the glimpse of a
slim, graceful shape and the swish
OF white skirt His handsome face
lighted for few moments as he rode
gaily down the road, cutting at the
muscadine bushes and the pawpaws
with his riding switch and humming
an old-time slave song he had heard
the negroes sing at their work in the
cotton fields:
If you treat me right 'druther work
than play,
But if you doan't treat me right Use
bound t run away"
He came across Uncle Ben Das-
comb "toling a shote" with an ear
of corn. Hills flung him a careless
greeting and the old negro flashed
back broad smile that revealed tooth
less gums. Nearly all the negroes
liked DR.. Hills partly because he new
er bullied them. Uncle Ben followed
the political faith of his master Col.
Dascomb, and voted the Democratic
ticket with faithful regularity, but
even he confessed that of all 'repubIi-
cans" were like Doctor Hills there
might be something to be said for
them.

"Hyer comes youalTs Yank a-rarin'
daown the road"
Brad Henderson leaned on his hoe to
watch the 1.-the. graceful figure of the
young man galloping toward them.
He amt wealls Yank airy mo- than
SoualTs; but he has a right tender
heart fer a Yank. When Mira Jane
were daown with the fever and me
a-chillin' blamed if he didn't ben an
doctor us fer nothing and 'beout keep
us in store truck"
At a not very remote date Brad had
been a soldier in the ranks of the Con-
federacy, so that his provisional in
dorsement of the young Northern doc
tor might be construed as a high en-
comium.
Young Hills half drew up at the
blackberry-grown fence corner and
threw a sack of stick candy to Hen
derson.
Here, take this to the young ones"
he shouted as he galloped on.
The fine liquid eyes in the lank face
of Brad Henderson lit up with gratified
paternal pride. To a casual observer
his children might appear nothing but
a swarm of ragged supertiuities, but
Brad loved them as much as if he had
been worth a million dollars and they
had been arrayed in purple and fine
linen.
Blame it all, if that amt kind
meow fer him tew remember the little
tricks. Lem. Store candy tew. We

and noncommittally.

man fight 'cepen with a gun an when

Brad showed back his shapeless
SLOUGH hat and scratched his fiaxen
head uneasly. He felt that the com
munity had a wrong appreciation of
DR.. Hills, but for the life of him he
could not tell why.

and toward the Dascomb plantation.
They passed without other recognition
than that which comes from the eyes
of men who mutually dislike
each other. Even if their love of the
same woman had not been d
spur to hatred they could
never have been more than toler-
ant of each other. The Southerner was
a good-looking fellow in a dark. disso-
lutte way. His mouth was weak and
his baggy eyes told of dissipation. More
than once he and DR.. Hills had come
to disagreement in regard to the local
management of their party. Wallace
believed frankly that the negroes must
be kept in line by intimidation. The
other party inundated; if not in this
country elsewhere; and it was the bus
| mess of the Republicans to take a leaf
cut of their opponents book. The pol
icy of Cancellation toward the Demo-
Gratis urged by Hills appeared to him
both weak and futile, and the young
doctor had earned the bitter dislike of
Wallace and his followers by his per-
sistence in opposing them.
A half-grown, barefoot boy III rag
ged jeans was sitting on the worm
fence in front of the Coleman yard as
DR.. Hills rode up. He slid off of the
fence to take charge of the horse, and
came forward imperturbably chewing
tobacco
"OP man Coleman were packing corn
tew the mill when tibet onery meul o.
his kicked him plumb dead fer an
hour" explained the youth.
The stars were out before the Young
Northerner left the sick man in a COM
Portable sleep and turned his horse
homeward. He had reached the last
bit of woods between him and the lit
tie town of Richmond, and was picking
his way carefully along the corduroy
road which bisected the swamp on
each side of it. when a sound came to
him through the still night that set
him tense and rigid, with squared
shoulders and ears strained to localize
the direction of the voice.
|, Hills slipped from the saddle and
picked his way cautiously through the
swamp. He could distinguish voices
now, one low and pleading and the
other insolent and jeering He had
time to reflect that they were both ia
miliar to him before the sounds took
the form of articulate words to him.
One minute more, Uncle Ben. You
old reprobate. haven't you any graft
tude? What d'yeou think they freed the
niggahs for except to vote 'em? Hurry
up and get intuh line. Half a minute

He shut his watch with a snap, and
nodded TO hts confederate. The fell
low stepped back for a better swing.

waist and tied with pawpaw strips to
a dogwood tree, screamed and with

In the evening, and he was anxious to
retrieve himself with his companions.

you could not have him."
'We'H mighty soon see abeout thet."
Robert Hills faced them steadily, a
revolver in his right hand. His left
arm hung helpless by his side. There
was neither fear nor bravado in his
face.
Il warn you that the first man who
moves forward l shall shoot" he said
quietly.

with bucl<shot.

a trace of animosity.
''Yeou aint in this, Brad Henderson.

selves"
Brad grinned down sheepishly. 'I
hate tew put in tew yeou gentlemen's
little dlft renee, but low youall better
count me in"
There was a whispered consultation
below which lasted for some minutes.
Finally Dave Ford essayed to explain
the situation to Brad His evil up-
turned face showed two livid bars of
swollen flesh where the hickory had
cut.
Look a-hyer, Brad" he wheedled.

frank amiability. ''Yeou caynt help

emotion. If he had not known the fell
lows black record Brad might have
judged him TO be suffering the per-
pleAjty of an honest man who is
troubled at the departure of a lifelong
friend from the paths Of righteous
