in MEMORY

On receiving the Big Sandy News
last week, our hearts were made sad
as We read the Paintsyille item an
nouncing the death of our beloved
and honored friend, w. H. Literal.
of the Paintsyille Graded School. II
has been our pleasure to spend many
happy school days with this distin-
guisned gentleman As schoomate
he was agreeable in every particular.
As roommate he was the same,
cheerful, earnest, considerations gem
tleman wearing tie same smiling
eountenance he was so accustomed 10
greet his fellowmen with on the
streets.
II has been our happy lot to be
with him many times IN church, and
In private conversations frequently
we have heard him speak of his
hopes OF heaven. Since his marriage
TO Miss Oracle Ward, we recall with
pleasure a visit to his home which
was certainly an ideal home. We
think If there vas ever place where
the devotions Of husband and wife
were such as is required in the Bible
II was In this home. On our depar-
ture from the above place as we
shook the hand of our dear friend
and said "Good-by' little did we
think 1t would be our last But the
Lord has called him home so with
great reverence we bow in submission
and repeat "Thy will be done"
There is consollng thought for
which We thank God, and this we
desire to offer for the consolation
Of his dear wife and all the bereaved
friends The Lord has said blessed
and holy is he that hath part in the
first resurrection for on such the
second death hath no power We
doubt not that Bro Literal had a
part In the first resurrection which
is Christ, who said Il am the resur-
rection, the truth and the life" He
that belleveth in me though he were
dead yet shall he live" So our loss
is Heavens gain. While we are
mourning his loss he is giving God
the Glory"
With these thoughts let our heart:
be content The Lord has said III
is enough come mp higher This he
will soon say TO us and then we will
again meet with Brother Literal
We are thankful he had>a good wife
and one in whom the spirit of Goo
dwells.
In the conclusion of this our tri.
butte Of respect we desire to say he
was a conscientious teacher, a Christ
ian gentleman. a loved and honorec
young man. making warm friends q
all whom he CHANGED 10 meet; among
them being no warmer friend thar

 My defeat was a foregone conclusion from the day Logan and King withdrew and Davis strength combined on Little and the anti-Davis vote was driven to Rogers. l was actively in the campaign but little over sixty days, had virtually no organiza- ton, and simply remained in the race to test the soundness and possibilities of my platform. reel satisfied now some one will win on the lines laid down in my platform at no distant day."

.Texarkana. April $. Hon. w.. r. Kirby, candidate for attorney generalin the recent Democratic primary, returned today from Little.

He has not received returns from Hampstead, Craw- ford, Saline and Washington counties. He says MT, Gautney has carried l6 delegate votes, and if his figures are right this would throw the matter of the nomination into the state con- vention. Ii he has carried either of the. four counties not heard from he thinks he will be nominated without having to fight for it in the convention.
 286 CLAIMED FOR PINDALL.
 The friends of Hon. X. o. Pindall have claimed minimum of 286 delegates in the state convention, the number re- uuired to nominate being 257. There are several counties ln which the official count has not yet been made, but in most of the lists kept by those who watch the political situation. MT.

A ''big sale week. partici- pated in by all the merchants and business men, is a good sug- gestion offered by one of our enterprising young men, Mir. A. F. Bailey, to bring to Newport trade that usually goes to some other perhaps nearby store or shopping point. To make such a week successful and draw the crowds, it should be advertised extensively and there should be a number of free attractions during a part of the day. To make Newport prosperous and to make her grow, there must be some kind of an. awakening.
 We must go after business and keep something going on that will bring trade this way and keep the public's eye upon the county seat. This whole section of Arkansas is annually becom- ing more prosperous and New port ought to set the pace in- stead of being content to follow in the wake.

COAL FAMINE IMP ENDING.
Railroads in Arkansas Ha,s f Coal Supply to Withstand strite(Bat puh-
 Iic WIZ suffSr.

Little Rock, .ApA- GA coal famine in ArEa,3sa~ is impending
 and will reach e serious stage
 unless there Is ar early adjust
 ment of the differences between
 the mine operators and workers
 in the coal fields 3t this state.
 The strike has been in effect four
 days. and there is little coal to be secured in Little Rock at any price. There is no steam pro- ducing coal in the hands ot any of the dealers and there 5s 53t a small quantity o1. hard coal held over from last year, together with a few cars of Kentucky j lump on hand.
 Officials of the Iron Mountain state that they have been oasy ever since the first runAors 3f a strike laying i'll a supply 0t coal and have a sufficient amount to carry them over any reasonable period which the strike may 1. cover. The coal in use Of the Iron Mountain from Bald Knob to Alexandria, La, is largely, if not entirely, che Arhansas pro- duct, mined along the central division, where many o- the mines are practically owned by the company, By carefully guarding the supply for some some time past sufficient coal is now on hand to meet al r1ejr demands. A prominent official of the Iron Mountain says that in his opinion the strike will be adjusted within two weeks aE ioint concessions of the operators and miners.
 The coal supply for the Rock Island lines is secured largely from the mines controlled by the company in Illinois, and little is known at the local offices regard ing the situation over the system. It was stated yesterday at the offices of the Rock Island that all the coal reserve stations on the ChoctaH lines are well supplied with coal and that there IS no apparent shortage.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together. and until the last few years was sup posed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro- nounced ita local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney (. Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts direct ly on the blood and mucous sur faces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circu- lars and testimonials.
