the death of his devoted wife, Mr..
Moses Harris also died at the home
Of his affcctionate daughter, Mrs.
John M. Mays; on May the 11th
in the eighty sixth year ofhis age.
His earthly sojourn was unusually
long and useful. He served his day

war there were none braver or more
active, serving his country well
during the long struggle of four
years. Mr.. Harris is survived by
one daughter, Mrs. Jno. M. Mays,
and two sons, Messrs David and
Walter Harris. The mortal re-
mains were laid to rest in the

highly esteemed by young and old
alike. He will be greatly missed,
not only by his son, Mr.. Lewis
Glanton, and daughter, Mrs. J. 81.
Bussey, but by his neighbors and
hosts of friends. He won all with
whom he came in contact by his
amiable disposition. His mortal
body now rests beneath the sod
in the Red Hill cemetery.

tor and we have several times been subjected to these torrents of abuse when he turned loose the floodgates of vitrol, without objecting. But it's getting tire some, dreadfully monotonous and it was for this reason we gave up the mixed pleasure of reading the Journal by chopping it from our list of exchanges. This over- sensitiveness and keenness to roast is a sure sign of conceit and exaggerated importance, for vanity is ever finding herself sighted and her feelings hurt.
 It doesn't take brilliance nor wit to roast. In fact, it's hardly clever, and very rarely called for. Some newspapers dote on such stuff, but they nearly all find early graves, and we don't know of any such where the grass is ever kept green in mem ory of their usefulness or popu- larity.

PAINTER DROWNED.

Texarkana, June z. - John Aarons, young married man of 25, was drowned while fishing in Clear lake, nine miles north of here, on the Iron Mountain rail- road, Sunday. He was in a boat with three companions, when it overturned in some way, and all three were thrown into the water. The others succeeded in reaching the shore in safety, but Aarons, being unable to swin, sank to the bottom. The body was recovered several hours later and brought here for burial. De- ceased leaves a young wife and a 1-year-old child. He was painter and had lived here about six years.

 Where a gasoline stove is kept it is absolutely necessary that a permit for same be attached to your policies of fire insurance.

 We sent him ten gallons and said: if you get it all on, no pay; if you have any left, return it and pay for the rest. Agreed.
 He returned four gallons and and took the agency. Four or five years ago. He knows now that his old paint was and is adulter- ated; that's why it took ten gal Ions to equal six of ours. Go by the name; there is but one name to go by; Devoe lead and-zinc.

QUITE A ROASTER.

The editor of the Newark Journal is quite a roaster. His cutting satires have made him famous and friends, too, among other squirrel heads who delight in publishing what they haven't the brain to father. Critic and copyist, a lovely deuce. But the originality of the former is due the most attention, even though he learned the craft under the h1telage of the latter.
 The Independent has been ac- rused of misrepresenting a ball game in favor of Walnut Ridge against Newark. The score pub- hshed was in error, uninten- tional of course, but the over- sensitive, self-constituted guar dian of Newark's rights and mterests couldn't content himself with a formal protest and state ment of facts. He must needs lash into fury his overwhelming indignation, for here was a chance to evidence his civic pride and command of invective that would win the plaudits of his handful of subscribers.
 It's youthful idea of journal ism which is indulged in with recklessness by the Journal edi-
