DEATH REMOVES
AN OLD CITIZEN
(From Tuesdays Daily Press

(From Tuesdays Daily Press)
| Word was received this morning
in Paragould announcing the death
Of Joseph Liddell yesterday at the
home of his son, two miles south of
Marmaduke. Mr.. Liddell was one
of the oldest citizens of the county
and back in the days of populism
he was prominently in the public
eye. He was elected representative
from this county in the legislature
of 1888. making the race as the
nominee of the populist party in
Greene county. During his service
as a member of the house a bill
ship from Greene county and annex
ing 1t to Clay county. The bill
was drawn and introduced by B. B.
Holifield, member from Clay coun-
ty, was passed through the house,
then through the senate, where
Robt. Liddell, now residing at Rec
tor, was serving as senator from
this district The bill became
law and by its operation Greene
county lost one of the richest Sec
tions of territory in the county 1t
is stated that Joseph Liddell, who
represented Greene county in the
house, was unable to check the
progress of the bill, primarily be-
cause the democrats were prejudiced
against him because he was a pop
ulist.
During recent years Mr.. Liddell
had been blind and on account of
this misfortune he rarely left the
home of his son with whom he lived.
