A FRAGMENT.

One by one they are Slipping away,
Going to rest.
rhev he so gaIla..tiy fought in the gray;
They who were gallant, daring and gay.
Pc .ce to each breast!
Some Of them fell in the thick Of the fight;
Biting the dust
just when the star ofhope was SO briRhI
Murmering prayer in the ear oi the
night
Patience and trust.
Some of them, weary Of marching at last
Dropped by the way.
They are now asleep in the arms of the
Past.
Sleeping meath shadows that fall Thick
and fast
Over their clay
Some ofthem lnger, nearing the end;
Soon thev will 60
Out through the gloom " here deep slsad-
ows blend.
Yonder where willow and cypress doth
Bend
Silent and low.
Soon. hev will leave us. they who were
brave,
Gallant and true;
Soon eacl, shall rest in a proud hcro's
grave,
Forgetting the flag that above Them
shall wave
Red, white and blue
Selected.

The Tobacco Trust does not seem
to fear our Republican trust bus

have refused to act upon the evil

Smoot's seat is safe until next

Mr.. Edgar C. Harris, who for
the past two years has made Green
wood famous through the columns
of the Greenwood Enterprise, has
sold the paper to his father, Mr..
H. B. Dixon, and has bought the
Clarksdale Register from Mr.. Gates.
Edgar G.. is hustler, a good writer,
and will keep the Register up to
the high standard maintained by
Mr.. Gates. Mr.. Dixon is splendid
young man and we predict that the
Enterprise will continue to be one
of the states best papers.

Mr.. Carnegie says he would

How much hush-money has the

THE ARKANSAS BOYS WON.
Rosedsle Beaten Yesterday by a Score
Of /. to q.

A large crowd Of Arkansas City
people came to Rosedale yesterday
on the Lucille Nolan, bringing
along their baseball team to con-
test with the Rosedale club for
diamond honors. 1t was a fine,
Jolly crowd, out for a good time
and they bad it.
The new baseball grounds were
put in fairly good shape during the
past week and a small grand stand
built. Everything had to be rushe d
so as to be ready for the game, but
the Roscdale management was
equal 10 the occasion and every
thing passed off pleasantly except
the game-which resulted i'll a
victory for the Arkansas boys by a
core of II to a.
The first four innings of the
game was as pretty as could be de-
sired, every player being Oh. tip-toe
and playing the game nicely. 1t
seemed that Rosedale had the adj
vantage, for Our boys were hitting
the Arkansas pitcher, while Fred
Clark had their batters at his mercy.
He struck out the first S out of 6
men up. It looked good at that
stage of the game.
At about this time Mr. Markley,
one of Rosedale players, was ac-
cidently hit in the face by thrown
ball and knocked out of the game.
Then Fred Clark, who was doing
good work in the box, was hurt
in a collision at End base. Todd
took his place, on the firing line,
but not having had time to warm
up, was hit freely. After one in
ming he retired and Marshall Will
son pitched the ball
At the end of a rather oneside d
struggle the score stood II to 4 in
favor of Arkansas City. However,
there is much luck in the game,
and we confidently believe that our
boys will win the next game.
