 The popularity of Major White and the esteem in which he has always been held by those who knew him is not only told in print after his death. But during his useful career his worth and standing as citizen of this state were often commented upon by the press. AS an evidence of h:s lasting popularity we reproduce an editorial, which was written nineteen years ago by W. Jasper Blackburn, then editor and publisher of Black burns Free South, issued at Little Rock. MT. Blackburn knew Major White we'll, was often thrown into his company and knew his many fine traits of character. In his editorial he said:
 "No more worthy and efficient man lives in Arkansas than Hon. IN. T. White, of Pine Bluff, Jefferson county, familiarly known as Nat White. He is lawyer and statesman-a schol- ar and gentleman; possessing gen. uine merit of both head and heart, of the highest order; talent without boasting or ostentation, and the deep- est traits of kindness and generosity without any desire or aim to let tho world know or observe 1t. A mar who can do the highest and grandesr thing, or the most simple and ten- der, as belonging to the common duty of his kind, and as worthy of no more special reward or nct;ce than the or
 dinary observance Of the perform ance of that which is right and the avoidance of that which is wrong; the reward being the consciousness in his own mind that he has only done as under like circumstances he should wish to be done blythe feel- ing of having done right for its own sake
 "And what a grand thing it is to possess these traits of true manhood such man could not be wholly un- happy under any circumstances or ir any relation of life, nor his presence or influence render others unhappy or uneasy. Such man might err !n tudgment-no man Is above that 1m- perfection-but 1t were impossible that he should entail wrong and sui fering upon others through a mal'c- ious error of the heart. The govern ment under the direction of such men could scarcely err in it's execution ti just law, while the honest citizenshif
 of any community need not fear o' violent wrong; and # Is to such men :. that both Church and State shoull
 look for a proper correction of crime
 and a proper vindication of virtue.
 "Pine Bluff is not noted or cele ,brated for virtue and peace in all he'
 walks, but it is her pride that it is
 not the fault of all her citizenship
 having many gentlemen of command ling qualities in this regard-non'
 moreso than Hon. N. T. White; gen l tleman whom we much admire oe' cause we know him to be brave, non ! est and true. And we know too, toa'
 all such men are 6 blessing to 'h' world at large. Nat White is by n'
 means an office seeker, having red's ed far more than he has ever held
 been state senator for one term w belieye-but there>is no position m oI government, either elective or ap pointive, that he would not honor. | Do You Work Hard for your mon
