 Judge Wells was born in Hay wood county, Tennessee, in 1855, and came to this county, with his father when small bas, and had lived here continuously eyer since. lIe wa~ one of the most prominent men in South eastea Arkansas, is well as one of the most exauitcd in character and al ihat goes to make up the true man. He was tbe soul of honor. charitable and generous. and doubtless had IS maay, f net more, true and devoted friends than any other man that ever lived iu this country. He received fair and liberal education ii the com. mon schools and academies of ths country, and when hs came to manhood $ estate he entered upan the law as a profession, and during his whole active life stood if the head especially in the civil branch of the law. For nearly 90 yeas he has been d pfacticing Attorney tt tie Monticello Bar, having for bis partners, during this period, Judge William. Nj Harrison. who was elected te the supreme Bench, Judge ". $ MeGain, nov of Lit tie Rock, the late Ed SIemoas. Judge Il. W. Wells, ]. C. Wil- Hanson, and. perhaps, others, and t can be truthlully said that no man ever lost by being associated with him in business.
 Ifs was married to Miss Pattie Burks, just before the breaking out ef the Civil war. with whom he lived most happily until about two years ago. when the companion of his married fife. died. and since which time the gloom of sadness settled upon him. To his intimate friends and associates the change was most marked. While ever courteous and kind to those about him, there was sadness and sof- rowing in his manner that WIS ever present and plainly per eeptible.
 Judge Wells was braYc Con fedefate soldier, eniisting with the first companies to leave our towH.  aad served throughout the wat. He was once captured b. the Federals, but made his escape and re-eatered the Confederate army, at once.
 Besides being leading lawyer, for the past 8 years he had also been largely engaged in planting. and until a year ago lived on his large plantation, 3 miles south of town, where tie lateh=string of hospitality ever hung oat, and more people were entertained by the Judge aud his family, at his country seat, than any other place in the county.
 lie leaves to mourn bis demise. six daughters aud four sons, all of whom are grown.
 lis remains were laid to rest, by the side of his dearly beloved wife. in Oakland Cemetery. on Thurs day evening, last, surrounded by an immense throHg Of sofrowing relatives and friends.
 Me extend our symp4tbies to the famiiy of Judge Wells in tbeir hour of trial and sore af.,,atioa, while we mourn with the com munity in the great loss which we all sustain in Hi, death.

THE CHARMS OF CLIMBING.
Of late I have acquired the habit
of climbing on the roof Of our
house. Ny mother saw me once
and warned me not to do so again.
I had been strictly prohibited by
my father, also, and tho I knew that
a scolding would be inevitable it
they found out, I could not help it,
and not minding the consequences,
I climbed up every evening. [ am
only a boy, and boys are usually
mischievous. One evening, when the
sun threw its last rays on the build
ings, and a cool breeze was blowing
after the hot July day, my cousin
came over to play ball. We soon
tired Of that, and I showed him how
fast I could climb to the top of tha
roof. he was alarmed for fear I
should fall, and said anxiously,
"Does your mother know you do
it," I hesitated, and replied, "Nos
at present. Then he began to
preach to me that it was improper
for boy like me to do such thing.
The next morning thought I
would 60 over to my cousin 8
house for little while. When
I arrived there, to my astonishment,
there he was on the roof! called
him down, and said, "Why, Irwin!
What have you been doings" He
was ashamed, but answered, cit is
easy to preach, but hard to prac-
tice.' Morris Friedman,
