Thomas Turner Ward.
About 5 o’clock New Year’s
morning, Thomas Turner Ward

sixty-fourth year. The mem
bop? of the family had reached
home and the old settler, Con

publisher passed away with those
he loved around his bedside.
The funeral serices were held
> at the home Tuesday afternoon,
conducted by Revs. B. B. Willis
and M. B. Umsted and burial

I Thomas T. Ward was a native of
[ North Carolina and came to Jack
' sonport in its early days, where
he was married to Miss Belle
Harbison, who survives him with;
two children, Mrs. Peyton Fer
guson and Miss Mae, to whom
the sympathy of our people goes
out in this hour of grief.
The deceased served in the
Confederate cause and after the
close of the war succeeded Frank
Lynn as editor of the Jackson
port Herald. He established the j
first daily paper in Newport and
was Its editor until a .yeai agu.
A fair, reasonable, courteous
and generous competitor the
writer always found him. He
had strong convictions and stood
manfully for them, rie had
friends and he appreciated them,
which made them the more num
erous.
Not only as a good citizen, but
rA as .a kind father and husband,
he will be missed from the life/
of our town. And among all j
who knew him, that good-will
and esteem in which he was held :
now acclaims “Peace to his
ashes.”

IN MEMORIAM.
“The shadow cloaks from head to foot
Who keeps the keys of all creeds—
Have called another old
Confederate to his long home
Across the river.”
Henry Bordwell came to Jack
son county in 1858 as a young
boy. In 1861 he enlisted in a
company and joined the confed
erate cause and was wounded
several times and served a time
in a United States prison, but
true to the South, although born
in the state of New York, came
back after being released, to his
old home in Jacksonport.
A truer nor more honorable
man ever lived. He was true
to his friends and everybody
was his friend. A more charit
able man never was in this
country. He never failed to
open his purse to those in need
and that silently and without
ostentation. He loved the cause
of the South and his greatest en
joyment wras to aid those of the
old cause to attend the Confed
erate reunion. He never missed
one himself and it was his de
light to help the poor who could
attend and were not able.
A true man and friend is gone.
A brave and true Confederate is
dead. God grant that he may
and has reaped the reward he is
pntit.lpd to
Henry Bordweli was born in
the Mohawk Valley, New York
state, and came to Jacksonport
in 1858 at the age of 15 years.
He has no relation that we
know of. His father, who
brought him to this state, died
soon after coming, but he left a
boy who grew into manhood,
full of honor, and he maintained
it to the day of his deafh.

Batesville Stocking Shower.
One of the most unique pre
nuptial entertainments of the
Christmas tide was the stockir
shower, given Friday aftermx
by Mrs. Ramsey Weaver, cor
plimentary to Miss Daisy Ree<
Mrs. Weaver was assisted i
receiving by Miss Lawrence an
Mesdames Wilder and Moore.
At 3 o’clock the charmin
home was filled with smilin
guests and resounded with rij
pling laughter.
A large table was soon fille
with beautiful hosiery of ever
description, some of this daint
foot wear being exquisitely ham
embroidered.—Batesville Guardi
Last Rails Laid.
The rails of the White River
Branch of the Iron Mountain
railway were connected Friday,
on the last bridge to be finished
on the line near Omaha, and a
through line from Diaz to Car
thage is at last a teality.
It will be some time, however,
before a through service can be
inaugurated on the line, as
several miles remain to be bal
lasted, and water tanks are yet
to be erected at several points,
necessitating a delay of several
weeks. — Batesville Guard.
DiUbeck Bound Over.
Will Dillbeck, who on last
Tuesday shot and killed Will
Weatherford at Desha, three and
one half miles west of Batesville
was arraigned before Justice J.
W. Six in this city Saturday.
The defendant waived ex
amination, and was remanded to
jail, without bail, to await an in
vestigation by the grand jury of
Independence county, at the
next spring term of circuit court

The entertainment given by;
: Miss Mildred Bernstein in the |
parlors of the Hazel hotel, Satur

j delightful of the old year. Music
! and games, were the source of
entertainment, and a lunch which
was elegantly prepared conclud
ed the entertainment, when all:
departed wishing the young
hostess many pleasant returns I
: for the New Year, which was to
i be ushered in in a short while.

RECEPTION AND EUCHRE.
A charming entertainment of
j New Year’s afternoon was the
| reception and euchre, given by
! Mrs. Gus Martin Monday after
noon in honor of Mrs. Vacaro of
Forrest City, and Miss Stephanie
Fagan. The yuletide symposium
of colors prevailed, the dominant
note being crimson.
The score cards were unique
and beautiful; the scores were
kept by Misses Jamie Irby and
Irma Hooker; the prize for the
I highest score made was won by
i Mrs. John Blanchard whose gift
was a beautiful pink satin pin
cushion, while each of the
honorees were given dainty re
membrances, Mrs. Vacaro a
pretty picture and Miss Fagan a
point lace handkerchief.
A luncheon of nut salad, chick
I en croquettes, french peas, escal-j
loped oysters, hot rolls-, pickles, 1
! olives and coffee, concluded an
: afternoon which will oe remem-1
j bered as a marked social event j
' in the annals oTNawnort society. j
Misses Clara and Esther Meyer,
[ the two charming daughters of
| Charles Meyer, of this city, en-j
tertained about forty of their
i young friends with a New Year’s
| party at their home on Laurel j
street on Monday evening.
The dominant feature of the I
evening was pinning the tail on.
a donkey by the guests who.
were blindfolded. Of course the'
ridiculousness of it all called j
forth much mirth from the;
young folks present, however
Malcolm Taggart won the prize
for having pinned the donkey’s
tail near its “proper place” and:
for his magic skill was given a.
pearl handle knife, while Missj
Irma.Wolf, as a second success- j
ful contestant, won a pretty,
jewell bex.
At another feature of amuse
ment which was a date and cap- j
dy biting contest, Miss Mildred 1
Bernstein and Leslie O’Neal,
proved themselves equal t^Ahe
occasion and were both given
nice prizes.
With all the appetite of grow
ing youth, * luncheon was en
joyed, which consisted of turkey,
sandwiches, salad, pickles, olives
1 and cake, which was served by
| Misses Zerlena Meyer and Ella
I ganders.
