Presidential Preferences.

The democratic national con-
vention and the presidential as
pirants were all the talk about
town last week, and our citizens
seemed to be terribly divided in
their preferences for the nomina-
ton. Col. j. l., Abernethy was
for Mcclellan, and thinks the
convention made O mistake in not
declaring for the gold standard
in the platform. Druggist Snow
wanted Folk, tn e st. Louis anti
boodler, nominated. T. j. Dav-
idson is an ardent Cleveland ad-
mirer, and wanted the eX-presi-
dent to head the ticket again.
c.. W. Shaver WAS Parker SYM
pathizer, and is enthusiastic over
the prospects Of defeating Teddy
Roosevelt. Col. Sam H. David
son wanted Jeff Davis nominated
and believes he is the strongest
man in the United States. CASH
ier W. B. Hamm had decided
preference for W. r. Hearst.
However, all democrats are Par
ker shouters since the conven-
ton.

A Miserable End.

George Adams died at the
county poor farm last week.
Adams was taken down at a Har-
dy hotel some months ago and
was finally declared a pauper
and placed on the county. He
was q nonresident, and no one
knew anything of him or where
his home was. A day or two be-
fore he died, Adams called Mr..
Russell, keeper Of the paupers, to
his bedside and gave him a bit Of
his history. He said his name
was not Adams, but would not
divulge his real name. He said
he changed his name after escap-
ing from a prison in Kentucky,
to which he was sent for stealing.
He futher stated that just before
coming to Arkansas, he swindled
an old man, who lives near ST.
Louis, out of S400 in cash, and
that there was a reward out for
his capture. He gave Mr.. Russell
the old gentleman's name, and
told him to write to him and pro-
cure the reward, Adams declar-
ing he had as soon be a prisoner
as anything. Two days later he
was dead.
No doubt Adams had led a
checkered career, and his end
came as he had sown. He died
from a miserable disease, and his
last days were terrible, both to
him and to those who had to be
near MIN.
