JUDGE STUCKEY IS
CALLED BY DEATH.

ents, his friends and to the ethics of
his profession. While he will be
missed from his office, from the lodge
room and from public meetings he will
be specially missed from the court
room, where he has been a familiar
character for many, years. He had
practiced successfully in all the courts
in the state.
He was elected county and probate
judge in 1886 and served three terms.
The'mere fact that he was re-elected
the third time is evidence of his
popularity and the confidence the
people reposed in him. He discharged
the duties of the office to the satis
faction of all the citizens of the
county and the record of his adminis
tration is a lasting monument to his
memory.
He never haH any children of his
own, but was of great assistance to
many boys and girls, who will mourn
his loss as the loss of a father.
In 1898 when the oppression of the
Cubans caused our country to go to
war for the cause of humanity and
civilization, he volunteered his ser
Ices to the government and raised a
bdiiifi^y in Jackson county of which
he was commissioned captain; this be
came Company “F” of the Second Ar-;,
kansas IfEnfifS^, U. S. Volunteers,
Spanish-American War. He served
through the war as captain of this
company and acted as major of his
battalion a good part of the time.
He was mustered out with his reg
iment at Anniston, Alabama in Feb
ruary 1899.
Judge Stuckey was intensely pa
triotic and always in the front lanks
When there was duty to perform for
his country. He took great interest
in the national guard and served as
brigadier general in command of one
division of the state troops for a num
ber of years. During his recent ill
ness during the present war he has
expressed regret that he was not able
to take an active part to help make
the “world W& for democracy.”
He was for "many years an Odd
Fellow and at the time of his death
was a member in good standing of
Newport Lodge No. 71, I. O. 0. F.,
being Past Noble Grand of that lodge,
Past Grand Master of Hie Grand
Lodge, I. O. O. F. of Arkansas and
having attended the Sovereign Grand
^odge a number of times as Grand
Representative.
He was a member of Newport;
Lodge, No. 968, B. P. O. E., being
Past Exalted Ruler of his home lodge,
having served as District Deputy
Grand Master and having attended
the Grand Lodge as representative
from his home lodge.
He was a member of Jackson Lodge
No. 191, F. and A. M. of Newport.
He was a member of Pecan Camp No.
3, of the W. O. W., Newport and was
representative to the sovereign
Grand Lodge a number of times. He
was also a member of the K. of P.,
Moose, Red Men and Eagles during
the time that they had active lodges
in Newport.
In politics he was a life-long dem
ocrat, and for many years was secre
tary of the county central committee,
many times a delegate to the state
convention and several times a dele
gate from the state of Arkansas to
the national democratic convention.
The remains of the deceased
rived Monday night on No. 8 and
were taken to the home of Mrs. An
nie Stuckey on Hazel street. The
funeral will be Tuesday afternoon at
1 o’clock at tile Methodist church,
conducted by Rev. W. B. Hays, as
sisted by Rev. M. B. Umsted. Mrs.
Estelle Claridge will have charge of
the music. The Odd Fellows will
have charge of the services. Inter
ment will be at Walnut Grove ceme
tery.
The train was met by members of
the local bar and representatives of
the various1 lodges of which the de
ceased was a member.
Among those who accompanied the
remains from Hot Springs were Mrs.
T. L. Gardner, of Augusta, Mrs. Da
vid Colvin and Mrs. Lucy E. Stuckey,
of Wichita, Kansas, and Mrs. M. M.
Stuckey, all of whom were with Judge
Stuckey when he died, and Mr. George
R. Hays went to Hot Springs Sunday
night. The party was joined at Lit
tle Rock by Hon. Tom W. Campbell,
Grand Master of the I. O. 0. F., and
other Grand Lodge officers.

CLOTHES
Cheap clothes are a mighty poor invest- ■ jgjjf
ment. They look cheap, wear out quickly
and are never well-fitted or satisfactory
in any way. One of out well-made, cor- |I
rect-fitting suits invariably give satisfac- Jjl
tion as to wear, style, comfort and appear |
ance—and the cost is not unreasonable; J
in fact, it is quite low, considering the Wt
high price of all materials that go into the I j§
making. We bought advantageously. J
