County Arkansas Friday

lY waters his whisky, while the other is hypocritical in his preaching. Was it honor in the hundreds of priests who caused thousands of better men than they to be burned at the stake! Mir. Martin says that the advocates of whiskey are generally infidels, and no good to the church. Now, Mir. Martin if the Protestant religon IS any improvement on the Jesuit, or Roman Catholic religion, who have you to thank for the Improvement None but intidels to the mother church. But it is your OK that in- fidels are goring today, and that materially alters the case. We notice that the spirit of the old in- quisition, which forced men and women to the stake, the fagots, and the flames are not yet dead. Red seems to be fayorite color, blood, bleed or believe. There seems to be a few preachers who are about to take french furlough from the prohi camp. Keep them whipped into ranks Captain, because if Req son ever charges your lines and they are broken, you are gone brother, world without end.

AN EARLY FROST.

The tail end of the great storm that swept the northern lakes struck the South Monday and viz sions of an early frost were had in many localities. It is said that something like half score of lives were lost on Lake Superior and a half million dollars worth of prop erty destroyed. An early frost would destroy about five times that amount in the South, and yet the people in the fever-stricken por- tions of the South are praying for cold weather.

Negro Killed Near Newport.

Jacksonport, Sept. 1.-Isom Milligan, an old time negro preacher of Jacksonport while re- turning home from Newport late Thursday night, was shot and kill ed near the Confederate Park, and his body left on the public road way, where it was found next morning. The discovery was re- ported to the sheriff, and the re- mains were taken to Newport.
 Charley Johnson, negro en- ployed by k. w. Anderson of Jacksonport, who was tried about a year ago for assaulting Milligan, and between whom and Johnson there seems to have been bad feeling, was arrested and placed in jail pending developments ats the coroner's investigation, but Johnson was later released.
 Nlilligan had been attending & conference in Newport and left town about II o'clock. intending to walk home to Jacksonport. He probably had little or no mon- ey on his person, and 1t is thought he was shot by some enemy. The spot where his body was found IS said to have shown evidence of a hard struggle.

John Hindman Replies to Some Ar guments of Rev. J. l. Martin
 On Prohibition.
To The Newark Journal:

Did 1t ever occur to you that of all the pebbles that you ever saw, no two of them were exactly alike in every particular? No man can find two pebbles exactly alike. Each has its own individuality And yet, not strange to say, they exist in harmony. One does not accuse another of being wrong be- cause of their different construc- tion. So 1t is with the herbs and flowers, no two alike. Each an individual within itself. Y ct the rose does not find fault with the smartweed because of their differ ence. All exist in harmony. The roses and pebbles exist in har- mony, yet the roses contain alco- hol, whilst the pebbles do not. The roses have life while the peb- bles do not. Now we will take a birds eye view of mankind and see how 1t is with him. As to indi- viduality, he is like the roses and pebbIes-no two exactly alike. But, unlike the roses and pebbles, he has ideas, and my God, what ideas some of them do have. The great Creator of the Universe ere ated their individuality, and made 1t possible for him to have ideas; but 1 will not accuse Him of creat- ing their ideas because of their inconsistency. Some men seem to . Bye obtained the idea that the Cfea Sr created the universe and then appol.lted them as His vice roys to mana&e>tt. But upon close examination I thiHk that 1t viii be found that their commissions have been forged.
 There are extremes in all things, therefore there must be extremists who cannot take conservative or middle grounds, and these are generally the ones who feel them selves commissioned to act as vice. roys for the Creator They take no middle ground-it is burn or believe. I see in The Journal of September the 1st, d communica- tion from our friend, ]. l. Martin, who says that he does not believe that my advocacy of alcohol. in former issue of The Journal, can be of any good, either morally or mentally. Now, 1 did not expect prohis to believe what 1 said. l gave it to them as food for thought. Mir. Martin makes broad assertions, but makes no at tempt to prove anything that he asserts. One would suppose from the tenor of his writing that he could hear nothing but the wailing of gray-haired fathers and moth CTS over the wrecks of drunken sons. Will our friend please cite us to a few of these cases; also prove that the gray-haired moth CT was not herself to blame for 1t! And another thing; prove that there was ever d soul lost by the excessive use of alcohol. Or that one was ever cast into devils hell" as he says. To believe such is to impugn the wisdom, mercy and all powerfulness of God, the Creator
 Mir. Martin has his doubts about a saIoonist being strictly honest, because he is apt to water hls whiskey. Why, Mir. Prohi, we have thought that by your code of hon esty that the more water the better. We think that the average saloonist is about as honest as the

in cotton from which there was little

Sales were estimated at fully 10000

cotton changed hands in about an hour
around midday than for the same
length of time any previous day this
season.
