AUGUSTA LANDMARK GONE.
•
On last Tuesday morning at ten
o’clock, one of Augusta’s landmarks,
(’has. E. Miller, died at his home after
a few days suffering, of swamp fever. !
He was an honest, honorable gentle
man, a true loving husband and father
and leaves a wife and several children
to mourn his loss. Mourn not, loved
ones, for in that bright beyond there
is one who awaits your coming. May
God’s blessing rest and abide with the
grief stricken family. The burial took
place Wednesday morning. Rev.
Fred Little conducted the funeral
services,—Augusta Vidette.
The deceased was a relative of Mrs.
W. B. Robinson of this city.
RECEIVER APPOINTED
NATIONAL SPECIALISTS.
The final decree in the case of Mar
shall & Coffman, attorneys, against the
National Specialists, in which Charles
M. Connor was appointed receiver,
was made Saturday by Chancellor
Martin. The receiver is ordered to
.apportion the assets among the
creditors. The total liabilities are
$2,200. The exact amount of the as
sets are not known. The original pe
tition for receiver was filed last Janu
ary, it was claimed on account of the
ability of the plaintiffs to pay for
services. It is understood that the
defendants will make a motion to ap
peal the case to the supreme court.
SMALL WRECK NO DAMAOE.
The first section of No. 97, a south
bound freight was wrecked between
Bradford and Russell Sunday after
noon,caused by the breaking of a
journal. Not a car left the track and
not a rail or tie was displaced F
Schlitt and his crew were sent to the
scene from this point. No 12 was
delayed and did not reach her* unlit
eleven o’clock.

BARNES PASSED FOR BRYAN.
Col. Bill Barnes, of the Barnes
Brokerage Co., formerly of Newport,
bears a striking resemblance to W. J.
Bryan. Col. Barnes went to Dexter
last Friday morning, on the Cat pas
senger, the same day Mr. Bryan was
to speak in that city. A large crowd
was at the depot to meet Mr. Bryan
together with a brass band, a drum
corps and a glee club. They had for
gotten that Mr. Bryan would arrive
on a special train and supposed he
would be on the regular passenger, so
when the train pulled in all eyes
were waiting for a glimpse of the
noted free silver leader and when Mr.
Barnes hove in sight a shout went up
which would have done credit to a lot
of Comanche Indians. The band
played, the glee club sang, the drum
corps drummed, and Col. Bill was al
most carried through the crowd to
ward the carriage, when he explained
to the leaders who he was, and then
all was different. They dropped the
Colonel like a hot potato and quiet
soon reigned; but it made Col. Bill
feel awfully good for a few moments,
and he is still wearing one of those
smiles of satisfaction so peculiar to
the Arkansas colonel.—Poplar Bluff
Republican.
FULFILLMENT OF A DREAM.
Jake Cramer, a brakeman, was
killed at Poplar Bluff Monday at 12:30
a. m. He had coupled the hose, and
as he stepped out from between the
cars on a side track, a switch engine
ran over him, killing him instantly.
A remarKable story is told in con
nection with the accident—and a true
story, too. About 10 o’clock Sunday
night Conductor Semands at Arcadia
dreamed that he saw Cramer killed in
substantially the manner of its sub
sequent occurence. A short time
after—he boarded his pusher to help
No. 5 over Tip Top mountain, and
then told Engineer Bethel of his dream.
A most singular coincidence it was,
and makes one inclined to think that
there may “be more things on earth,
Horatio, than are dreamed of in your
philosophy.”—Irouton Register.
LITTLE ROCK REACHED.
The surveying party which has been
laying out the St. Louis, Memphis &
Southeastern Railroad for the past
month from Hoxie to Little Rock
reached that city Thursday and is now
camped near the Choctaw bridge on
the north side of the river. They are
attempting to find an entrance to Ar
genta to reach the Choctaw bridge.
COTTON PLANT’S
COMMERCIAL CLUB.
Cotton Plant, Sept. 27.—A Business
Men’s League was formed here under
the most favorable circumstances,
with A. F. Maberry, president; R. R.
James, vice president, and Dr. T. B.

FINEST ORGAN IN STATE.
Christ Episcopal Church, Fifth and
Scott streets, Little Rock, of which
Rev. Perry J. Robottom is rector, is
installing the finest pipe organ in the
state at a cost of #6,000. The old or
gan was donated to the Episcopal
church at Searcy, which is being re
built after being destroyed by fire.
The new organ here will be dedicated
October 24, when Harrison Wild, or
ganist of Grace Episcopal church of
Chicago, will give a recital.
RAILROAD COMMISSION
MAY BE ABOLISHED.
Little Rock, Sept. 27.— It is generally
conceded that strong efforts will be
made in the coming legislature to
abolish the Arkansas Railroad com
mission. Several members visiting
Little Rock lately stated that they
would introduce bills to repeal the law.
They claim that the commission is not
worth its cost, inasmuch as it is pow
erless to enforce Its orders and man
dates.
COTTON BURNED AT TUPELO.
On Sunday afternoon a fire at Tu
pelo destroyed the cotton platform
near the depot and about 80 bales of
cotton, owned by Lon Campbell
chiefly. The fire is supposed to have
been caused by some one’s careless
ness in smoking cigarettes about the
property.
The fire had reached such headway
when discovered that the platform
could not be saved, though about 50
bales of cotton were placed out of
reach of the flames.
B. M. Crow, of this city, owned 25
bales of that stored on the platform,
but it is thought that none of this was
burned. The railroad company will
probably be responsible for the losses,
as the cotton, it is thought, had been
sold, but not delivered.
’GENE FIELD ON FINANCE.
In speaking of Jack Thrower, editor,
being robbed in St. Louis of @4.50, Eli
D. Ake, of the Ironton Register, says:
“Four dollars and a half! I remember
about twenty years ago, George H.
Kelley, a Poplar Bluff editor of then,
while on his way to the State Press
Association, lost a flve-dollar bill. He
went around inquiring if any one had
«vvw vuv Ujiuuiug p,* wiiuuv/O.. VJUIJO
Field was with the crowd, and when
George came to him with bis tale of
woe, indignantly exclaimed, “That’s
the way with you country editors!
Five dollars! Will you never learn
that it’s not safe to carryall your pos
sessions with you on your travels?”
LARGE BUCK KILLED. i
The largest deer this market has
seen in a long time was brought here
Thursday by A. H. Rundles. It was
a buck, and weighed 175 pounds be
fore dressing, after which and before
skinning, its weight was 161 pounds.
Its antlers had four points on the right
side and five on the left. It was in
fine condition and was bought by
Tubbs & Son. Mr. Rundles is one of a
party who are camped at Stringtown,
a wood yard above Raft creek on tbe
White river, about 25 miles up from
here, but only 10 by land. Tubbs &
Son had no trouble disposing of the
venison as Des Arc has too many lov
ers of that juicy meat.-Des Arc Guidon.
CANDIDATE FOR RE-ELECTION.
Mayor W. R. Duley stated to a news
paper correspondent Saturday after
noon that he had decided to be a can
didate for re-election and at a proper
time would make known his platform
relative to municipal control of the
various subjects now being discussed
in Little Rock. This is the first state
ment from the mayor as to his future
intentions.

Mercantile Company will
