is very embarrassing-the
fact that he sells engagement
rings, but does not present

Death of Summer Stevenson.

$. A. stevenson ulcu at lne ldilll- ly home three miles west of Para gould shortly after midnight this morning. He had been critically i'll for ten days, suffering from in trenal hemorrhage, and it was known to the family and near friends that the end was near. As soon as the serious nature of his affliction became known to the family he was brought to the san itarium, where he was cared for, until Monday of this week, when he was removed to his home.
 Summer Stevenson was born in Tennessee, sixty-nine years ago, and came to Arkansas when young man, locating near Bethel in this county, where he married Miss Catharine Smith, who, with seven living children, survive him. The five sons and two daughters are Enoch Stevenson of Brighton, Lind sey Stevenson of Maiden, Mo-, w. A. Stevenson, principal of the West
 
 Side public school, this city; R. M. Stevenson of Brighton, V. B. Ste venson of Parma, Mo-; Mrs. c. D. Wills, Winter Haven, Fla; Mrs. II. P. Dyer of Lilbourn, Mo, all of whom were present when the end came.
 The deceased had been resident of the Center Hill neighborhood in this county for the past thirty-five years, and had been an active and useful citizen in every relation of life. He was the son of a Metho- dist minister and joined the Shi- loh Methodist church, where he, had always retained his member ship, and he lived the teachings of his church. MT. Stevenson never sought official position, but in ev- cry relation as private citizen he met and discharged the obligations put upon him in a faithful and creditable manner.
 The funeral services will be con- ducted at Shiloh church at III o'clock tomorrow by the pastor, Rev. Williams, assisted by Rev. A. c. Griffin, and the interment will take place at Fairview cemetery,

VOTERS AT LAfE
 HEAR SPEAKERS
{From Saturdays Daily Press)

|
 Ben l.. Griffin's wet tour of Greene county in the interest of
 initiated Act No. 2 which seeks the repeal of the statewide prohibi- tion law and the restoration of Iopen saloons in Arkansas, was con- 1 cluded at Lafe last night when the
 apostle of the grog-shops addressed fair-sized audience of men and
 women. He was answered by s. R.
 Simpson of this city who consumed an hour and a quarter in dissect- l ing Ben's brew bill and exposing 1 its rottenness to the voters. Grif- l fin made practically the same I speech he delivered at Brighton on Wednesday night and at Paragould on Thursday night. He fought shy | of a discussion of the prohibition issue, the evils of the liquor traf- l fife, and thundered and roared about the fraud the legislature had per petrated upon the people in enact- l ing the dry law.
 In replying to Griffin's speech MT. Simpson confined himself large of the bill, showing how firmly the saloons would be entrenched in power if the act passed, how prac- tically all of the safeguards thrown 1o xxyc, were missing under Griffin's law, how they could be operated in dry towns and cities, how the women would be dsfranchised and the ne
 groes enfranchised, how the saloon men could force an election ten or twelve times a year and how the opponents of the saloons could have an election called to vote the evil
 out only once every two years, how the county judge is made felon and subject to punishment by inn lprsonment one year in the peni- tentiary if he deviated the slightest , in obedience to every section of the law, and how the saloonkeeper is punished by only small fine
 These and many other iniquitous features Act No. 2 were convincing | ly presented to the audience by MT. Simpson,.
 The few men in Greene county who are cooperating with Griffin and Joe Lyons in attempting toI foist this measure upon the voters
 are predicting that the bill will receive generous support at Lafe and in Breckenridge township, but from expressions made last night by representative citizens residing in that, calnmunity the situation looks encouraging to those who are fighting the liquor traffic.
