". T. Lawson, Dead.

On last Friday morning, just before the breakfast hour, Mr. W. T. Lawson, died, suddenly, at his home in the northern DOT tion of this city. Mr. Lawson had been out attending the chores around his home, and came in the house, and was sit ting down awaiting his morning meal, when he was seized with a pain about the side or chest, and got up and walked to the bed and fell across it, and was dead in a few minutes.
 MT. Lawson was n years of age the 2nd day of this month, having been born in Union county, $. O., on Aug. 2nd, 1S44. He moved, with his parents, to Georgia, where he was living when the Civil war broke out. At the age of IT he joined Go. k. of the 22nd Ga. Regiment, and was in all of the principal battles of Virginia. He was slightly wounded in the seven days fight arOund Richmond. Ont of 1O2 members of his Company he was one of only s who came out of the war alive.
 MT. Lawson moved to Drew County from Georgia in 1870, and engaged in farming, neal this city, for 40 years. Five oi six years ago he moved to this city. He was member of the Primitive Baptist Church, and was good man and most high. ly respected citizen. He is sur vived by his wife and nine grown children, eight sons and one daughter, all of whom have the heartfelt condolence of the whole community.
 The remains were inferred at the Caster Burying Grounds, near his old home, at eleven o. clock, on last Saturday morning. The services were conducted by Elder J. H. Blythe, of Bradley county.

Some" more Ball Game.

Wednesday, one week age yesterday, was pulled off one of the greatest ball games ever witnesses in thiscity The game was between the two fast teams the Leans and Fats. These teams were made up from our leading citizens. consisting of merchants, lawyers, editors, Insurance Agents, Bankers, Laundry men, Liverymen and office holders.
 During the game there was much activity in perspiring and flaming" notwithstanding many hits were made. one of them a home run, by Dan Todd, a member of the Fat Contingent; but the hits were so we'll separat- ed by famous pitchers that the Leans only succeeded in making p runs to the Fats IS. Each of the players performed so well that individual mention is hardly necessary.
 One of the surprises of the game was that editor Moffatt made a safe hit everytime he went to the bat; while k. l. Hardy struck at every ball that was thrown in his direction re- gardless of how far or near they approached him. In justice to his skill as player, we will say that he got two hits during the engagement and did some tall sprinting around the bases. Jeff Dishongh stole clean around to home plate, on passed balls, and won score. Others performed the same stunt, but Jeff's avoir. dupois made his case more mo- ticeable.
 Frank Chambers, the Monti- cello Pitcher for the Leaguers, acted as Umpire, and seemed in- spired to call everything in sight "strike," the result, perhaps, of having heard too many times Empires call "Ball one, o etc., when he felt certain he was sending the ball square over the plate, A inches from the ground.
 This was a benefit game for Monticello's League Team, and was pretty we'll patronized, and highly enjoyed by Monticello's people. About ss0.00 were the gate receipts.

That the floods have been an appalling calamity, we all feel and know; but the spirit of brotherly love and humanity should cause Arkansas people to come to the rescue of the home less and starving people of the stricken districts, and help them survive the terrible blow. Many of our cities and towns re sponded promptly and much sui fering, and in many instances, actual starvation, has been a. verted. Among the first to help were Little Rock. Hot Springs, Tonesboro and Pine Bluff. 9th CT places have aided, but there is still a demand for more help, and those who are able should help.

The greatest calamity which has befallen the south in recent years Is that of the storm and floods of the past August, a full report of the same having been given in the news columns of the Montioellonian. In these floods our own state has been hard hit and many of it's inhabitants sorely distressed. Along the banks of nearly all of our rivers there has been great destruction of crops and live. stock, besides the sweeping away of homes, in many instances. Newport, Jack son county, has been, perhaps, the largest sufferer, of any single city in Arkansas; but many smaller towns along the White river and it's tributaries suffered in equal proportion when num- bers of people and their holdings are considered.

The Ball Game at Warren Friday

After the close game in Mon- ticello, on Thursday when War ren won the game by the score of 1 to 0, in a fair contest, our people were sportsmen enough to take their defeat with good grace and compliment their vis- itors on their success. But8n the game, at Warren, on the next day, when the game was given to Warren, by the Umpire, in the end of the ninth inning, by a single score of 1 to 0, the Monti. cello people were simply disgust ed. This score was made, so it is claimed, by everyone who saw the game, by the Umpire calling a Warren base runner safe at 3rd base who was put out, beyond any question or doubt. Even the runner, himself, realized this fact, so we are told, and started to the Bench, when the Umpire called him back and de- clared him safe. The Umpire claims, so it is said, as justfi-  cation for his injust decison which gave Warren the game, that the baseman did not touch the runner with the ball. But the runner was touched with the ball, and, 1t was a most fimsy excuse to offer, for it was his place and duty to have seen it. That is exactly what he is paid for; and to rob one team and give the game to another on such pretext is carrying the joke entirely too far.
 Warren might possibly have won the game further on, but it certainly did not have it when the Umpire gave it this score. The decision robbed Monticello of its chance for victory in that game and virtually took away from 1t the last hope of winning the pennant. From the evidence, from every creditable scource, here is one game that was won for Warren by the Umpire and not by the ball-players. Aside from the above enumerated notorious ly unjust and unfair episode, this was a good game of ball.

that wound up the "ball ot yarn," for from that time on un. til the close of the ninth inning not another score was made on either side.
 For some reason our batters, recognized as the best in the League, failed to connect with Gannaway's balls, and only one clean hit was taken from him. Mayo, for Monticello allowed six hits, but scattered them so they were unavailable. Legg was walked, and stole second, when with two men down, an other Warren batter sent a liner down to 3rd base, and the base man got the ball and threw it to the 1st basemen; but 1t acci- dentally went wild and Legg scored, which won the game for Warren.
 This was one of the closest and best games played this season, and was anybody's game up to the very end.
