age, yet prudent; of high ideals, yet
without pretense; of the most whole
some respect for the Constitution and
the majesty of the laws under it, and
sacred regard for their limitations;
of the keenest sense of justice, which
would rebel against compromising
wrong to an individual or to a nation:

and yet withal modest and reserved;
possessed of a sturdy constitution and
magnificent manhood. and yet tenn
perate in his actions and dignifed in

man of letters, but the man of reserve

the office of the presidency; notably
IN the contests between Jefferson and
Burr, jackson and Clay, Lincoln and
Douglas, Grant and Greeley, Cleve-
land and Blaine.
Convention Did Well.
Dire predictions were made by our
political opponents of what would hap
pen at the st. Louis convention, but
they nisjudged the temper of the party
and the people. While there had been
differences in preceding campaigns. yet
at st. Louis they were all harmonized
and common ground was found upon
which all could stand and do battle
for Democratic principles. A platform
was adopted by a unanimous vote, en-
bracing the issues of the day, and pre-
senting to the people a declaration of
principles which, in the language of
the times, is sane, safe and sound.
With a candidate whose personality
appeals to the good sense and sound
Judgment of the American people,
platform whose principles are for the
greatest good to the greatest number,
and reunited party earnest for the
restoration Of good and economical
government, we should succeed and the
principles Of Democracy again triumph.

THE OIL TROUGH COUNTRY
Travelling Man Was Favorably I'm
pressed With the Famous
soil Trough Bottom.

The famous oil trough Sec
ton i'll Independence and jackson
counties is bIossoming like q
rose, = said a travelling man at Lit
tie Rock recently to Gazette re-
porter. 1t is one of the most
fertile areas in Arkansas and the
fortunate farmers there are living
in ease and comfort. BY the way,
| heard how that rich stretch of
lands got its name, Oil Trough.
In the early days that country was
full of bears and the hunters had
harvest Bear oil was staple
and plentiful commodity and the
method of shipping it was unique.
Troughs were hewn in logs and
the oil placed therein and thus
transported to market. Hence
the designation Oil Trough. The
town of Oil Trough on White Riv-
er is enjoying a steady and sub
stantial growth. The place. has
been plated off in tracts $50 800
feet and these are being acquired
by prosperous farmers in the sur
rounding country who desire to
make the town their home. Cul.
l.. Pearce, the democratic nominee
for circuit clerk of independence
county, is one of the leading citi-
zens of that section and he tells
me the people there were never
more prosperous. One of the
sources of their prosperity is the
growing of alfalfa, which has be-
come great reyenue-producer in
that section. As much as five crops
year are made and the product
has ready sale. The town of Oil
Trough is five miles from Newark
and ten miles from Newport. It
must be q pretty healthful country

section few days ago a number
of old people who have lived there

NEGRO KILLED BY TRAIN
Joe Dillingham; Was Ran Over by the
Train Friday Evening a Short
Distance From Newark.

Joe Dillingham;, a negro about
36 years of age, was ran over by
the passenger train Friday even
ing about a mile west of Newark
and instantly killed.
His body was horribly mangled,
one leg and one arm being entire
~ severed from the body, and a
great hole broken in his skull,
from which his brains we're ex-
posed. The lower part of his body
was also split open.
Dillingham; had spent the day
in town and had been drinking
considerably. He left about sun
down to go home and it is suppos-
ed that he laid down on the track
and went to sleep and the engin-
eer failed to see him.
The coroner's jury returned q
verdict that he was killed by Sup
erintendent Hartigan's special,
which went down about 10 o clock,
but the general opinion seems to
be that he was killed by the pas
senger.
Dillingham; was married, and
leaves q widow and two children.

Boy Instantly Killed.

Texarkana, June 25.-WaIter
kirvin, aged 20, son of a promi-
nent farmer, living ten miles
south of here. was accidentally
killed today. He and another
boy, aged 10, were playing with a
single-barreled shotgun. They
did not think it was loaded. and
the younger hoy snapped the gun
at the others head, when it ex-
ploded and the entire load of
small shot struck young Kirvin in
the top of the head, making a
great hole, from which the blood
and brains oozed out. Death re-
suited instantly.

ing was done with q single barrel
ed breech-loading gun and the
charge entered the left side of the
head of the girl under the eye, go
ing through and tearing off the
back of her head. Her reason for
killing the girl, she said, was that
God told her to do so, that she
was intended for sacrifice. She
picked the girl up after killing
her and carried her to the house
and laid the body on the floor in
the middle of the room. She then
took the twin brother of the girl
and set him down in the same
place where she killed the girl and
shot at his forehead, but missed
him. The boy ran and she shot at
him the second time, but without
effect.
