Colt Times.

An awful death, and a continual pouring down of rain, somewhat dis located our thinking faculties last week, and we failed to show up on time. If this rain and these deaths don't cease, they will distract the brains of a wiser being than sour cor respondent, even in his palmiest days.
 On last Saturday. May 9th. Will Conger, well-to-do farmer, progress sive citizen and member of the Knight and Ladies of Honor at this place, al- ways gay, full of mirth and fun. boarded the south bound passenger train on the Iron Mountain road, for Forrest City. Little did we dream that would be the last time we would ever see him to know him. That night the same horrid monster of steam and commerce that carried him on his peaceful mission that morning. ground him to pieces about four miles north of Forrest City. His body was brought to Colt that night and the next day after a hurried inquest it was inferred in the Hughes ceme- tery, in the presence of the largest concourse of people ever assembled in this part of the county Some suppose that he was lying asleep across the track, while others think that he was on his feet and trying to get off. Be that as it may, it was an awful affair, and will not be soon forgotten by this community. This is the second life that has been dashed into eternity by this same train and engineer within the past year between Colt and For rest City, a distance of ten miles. Farewell friend Bill: God grant that your soul was prepared to meet it's Maker. He leaves a loving mother, three sisters, one brother, devoted and broken-hearted wife and several bright little children to mourn his loss. He had many friends, and will be greatly missed in this community.
 On account of rain, the farmers can not get to work what little crop they have succeeded in planting This is now the 10th of May and hundreds of icres of land are still not planted. On the l2th about noon, it com nenced to rain here, (the earth was
 
 already wet and heavy and towards light it seemed as if the Heavens would again deluge the land as il did | thousands of years ago.
 Next Saturday is school elect ion. Select good man, boys, and don't let politics form too great Il faction in 'our deliberations.
 Sinking Peter" is on his feet again and will soon be able to keep up his end of the single tree. We notice that Blue Eyes" kinder fixed us last week. We wonder if she is man or woman. Come on, Blue Eyes. don't be afraid that you will make us mad.
 Tom Hampton says if it don't quit he soon won't have any roads to work.
 We think ''Dickey Dumplings" prayers must have penetrated the in- nermOst throne of Heaven-we wish he would quit praying especially for rain.
 John Christopher has another fine Doy at his house. Bye and bye there will be more Christopher's in this township than Carter had oats. It seem as if Esquire Moore, Lawrence and John Christopher were race in the boy line. The Esquire says though, that 15 boys is ill he wants, but John and Lawrence won't say.

wanted to be seen by anybody at this
stage OF the campaign. for the reason
that any very considerable improve
ment in quotations might lead TO In
creased sowings OF the beet crop OF
Europe much to the detriment OF the
interests OF sugar holders for the entire
campaign. Hence, It will be noted that
circulars and statistics from the other
side OF the water all bear the marks OF
extreme conservatism and a desire TO
avoid anything looking like optimism
regarding the future.
This position is all very well but, at
the same time when prices of sugar or
any commodity have been depressed TO
the extreme low level, below cost of
production, as sugar has been in In
stances, 1t is not an easy task to pre-
vent a show OF Improvement even when
such improvement is not wanted to
take place at once.

Destructive Fire
At Hot Springs.

Hot Springs, Feb. 25.-At $3.50
O'Clock this morning fire broke
out in South Hot Springs, which
resulted in a loss estimated at
between 81, ,250,000 and 81 $780,
900, destroyed about forty blocks
Immediately adjacent to the heart
Of the town, caused the loss of
four and possibly more lives and
left desolation and suffering in
it's wake.
1t was the greatest fire in the
history of Arkansas. For five
hours the flames roared unrelent-
inely, and it was only after food
for them had. become exhausted
that the safety of the business
portion of the city was assured.
The flames were famed by a
high wind, but for which the fire
would undoubtedly have been
suppressed in its earliest stage.
The fire was seemingly guided,
however by the hand of mercy,
and was blown in a direction
directly opposite from that which
the "valley," or real business
and hotel portions Of the city, are
situated. The area consumed
was occupied by business houses
doing general supply business,
by the cheaper hotels and q large
number of boarding houses. II
also embraced a portion OF the
city in which we're situated
several fine residences, and
nothing but charrod ruins and
smoldering ashes are left to IN
dicate where they once Stood
The fire started in the Grand
Central hotel, two story frame
affair situated in the rear of the
Central Methodist church.
! The total number Of bu. .ldings Of
Sharp County record., 1905-03-03

all descriptionsl destroyed is
placed at between three hundred
and four hundred.
1t was virtually useless to at
tempt to save the contents of any
of the buildings in the flame
swept district. Some few trunks
and other household belongings
are seen in the streets, guarded
by their owners, and in many
cases representing all they now
own. Probably two thousand
people were rendered homeless,
but the citizens are throwing open
their doors, churches are kept
open for the accommodation of
sufferers the different lodges have
offered their quarters for place of
refuge, and both race tracks
have provided quarters and
edibles for many.
The district bounded by the
flames is almost entirely barren.
This morning it presented, the
spectacle of a mass of smolder-
ing ruins, interviewer with masses
of tangled wires, making it
almost impassa5le. BY noon
these distractions were partly
cleared away, and all manner of
conveyances made their way
through the open space, hauling
hundreds of sight seers. Num-
bers Of the visiting population
who suffered lost entire track of
the locality Of their lodging
houses, and it was almost pathetic
to see them searching for some
clue that might lead them to the
recovery Of their effects.

Impoverished soil, like impov-

THE MILES MATTER.

For several weeks past, since
the controversy as to his treat
ment of Jefferson Davis arose,
General Nelson A Miles has been
threatening to produce a letter
from Mrs. Jefferson Davis, in
which that lady thanked him for
his "kind and humane" treat
ment of the President OF the Con.
federacy after his capture and
while he was in charge of Gen.
Miles. The letter when given to
the public, through the public
prees, was this:
Fort Monroe, Va, May %, 1865.
Please receive my thanks for
your courtesy and kind answers
to my questions of this morning
MAY 23). | cannot quit the
harbor without begging you
again to look after my husband 8
health for me. Yours very res
pectfully,
VARlNA DAVIS"
It will take one with a very
vivid imagination to discover
anything in Mrs. Davis letter
which praises Gen. Miles "kind
and humane" treatment of her
husband, and it will strike the
sensible person that Gen. Miles
should have been ashamed to
publish 50 weak a defense Of
himself, in the face Of his ex-
travagant claims. 1t must tend
to convict him, even in the minds
of those disposed to be his
friends. That Mrs. Davis, in
deep sorrow and humiliation for
her husband in custody, should
write such a letter as Gen. Miles
published, to the officer who had
her husband in charge, is natu-
raj enough, but where i'll it can
be found the slightest refutation
of the charges she makes against
Gen. Miles of discourtesy to her
husband and of placing indigni.
ties upon him? Far better for
Gen. Miles had he never pro-
duced Mrs. Davis letter.
