 Jackson County.

The erection of a handsome monument in memory of our Confederate dead is to be under taken at once, the movement be- ing initiated by Tom Hindman Camp through the suggestion of our townsman, w. E.. Bevens.
 The cost of the proposed mon- ument is $1,500 and while not elaborate or massive, will be a work of art and a constant re- hinder of the heroes who served in the lost cause, many of whom sacrificed their lives and all of whom are dear to the hearts of our people.
 The movement has been for mally launched in the resolu- tion adopted below by Tom Hindman Camp and should re- ceive the generous and patriotic support of all our people.

Dr. Simeon David Bateman.

0Tis with a heavy heart we chronicle the death of Dr. Sine on David Bateman one of Jack son county's oldest and respect ed citizens.
 ] Dr. Bateman was the son of the intrepid Capt. Beniah Bate man, whom General Jackson sent to Arkansas in an early day to keep the Indians in subjec- tion. He was a captain under Jackson at the desperate but decisive battle of New Orleans. Dr. Bateman was born on the Mississippi river in Tennessee, lin 1927, at the home of Simeon Bateman, whom he lovingly called Uncle Sim. His mother brought him to Arkansas about two years later, in 1929, where the father was stationed, and he lived ever after in Independence and Jackson counties. He con- menced the practice of medl- cine very early and practiced continually about forty years. He married Miss Mary A. Con- nally in 1855 and settled down to practice medicine and to farm, and was reasonably suc- cussful in both.
 There was born to the doctor eight children, all being dead, except the oldest son, Charles T. and the second youngest daughter, Mrs. Mollie Runyan, of Lakeland, Florida.
 The doctor in his last days was lovingly called, Grandpa" by all who knew him (and they were legion) and he was always happy when he had his house filled with his grandchildren and their neighboring little friends, who were jubilant and happy to- gether, he making everything gladstone for them as it was possible. In the death of Dr. Bateman the entire community loses a substantial neighbor and friend and all join in expressing sympathy for the bereaved ones.

City Primary
 Ticket Elected
lin Newport Without Opposition Two Tie For Mayor
 of Tuckerman.

In the general city election Tuesday, the white primary ticket was elected overwhelm- ingly and the talk of a contest proved mythical in the light of the results. A. T. Hubby was elected mayor receiving PIG votes out of total cast of 234 in both wards. H. c. Sanders received 15 votes and in justice to MT. Sanders, it must be said that he was not a candidate and stated that he was not.
 The newly elected mayor is a progressive and capable young man of strict integrity and the other officers are all good citi- zens, from whom the city has a right to expect a good admins tration of it's affairs.
