A novel idea, which might be of ben

vealcd, yesterday noon, when a driver

of patience because his horse refused
to proceed beyond a certain limit vi

and gave him little jog over some OF
the different thoroughfares of the city
presumably so as to get him warmed
up for another trial Whether this sec
ond attempt was actually made or not
was not noticed, for the witnesses OF
the little drama turned away when il
, was seen that the driver was taking
a random course, which made the time

Gen. "Bcbn Crockett Dead.

Gen. Robert H. Crockett, grand son of the immortal Davy Crockett and father to our present secretary of state, John W. Crockett, died sud- denly on the night of the 17th at his home in Stuttgart of heart failure. The Saturday before he had been presented with a cane on his seven- tieth birthday. If ever there was an illustrious son of a noble sire 1t was "Uncle Bob," as he came to be universally known. No man dared outdo him in magnanimity, in hon. esty of purpose, in liberality of sen timent and generosity It was brother" and "God bless you" to every one he met, and "sweet girl" to the fair ones who adored and worshipped him. His geniality was inbred and always flowing, his cor diality as radiating as the rays of the sun. Arkansas was always proud of him living, and his memory will be honored and reyered long years hence when others more polit- ically prominent will have been for gotten. Gen. Crockett was born at Paris, Tenn, February 15, 1832. When a young man he settled in Arkansas county and took up the practice of law, becoming prominent as a practitioner. He was elected state senator and served during the years 1S95-1889. He served all through the Confederate army, and his bravery and efficiency won for him the colonelcy of the eighteenth Arkansas regiment. Gov. Davis is- sued a proclamation Tuesday requir- ing the placing of the flag at half mast and the suspension of business in the different state offices for that day.
