LUCIEN C. CAUSE.
_
Paper Prepared and Read by Mrs.
Peyton Ferguson, Nee A Hie Ward
at Meeting of L. C. Cause
Chapter of U. D. C.
(By Request of Chapter.)
Lucien Courteworth Cause was born
in Brunswick county, Nort Carolina
on December 26, 1838. When quite
young he removed, with his family
to Landerdale county, Tennessee. He
received his early education in the
private school there.
He then took the Academic course
in the University of Virginia; subse
quently graduating in the law school
of Cumberland University located at
Lebanon, Tennessee, and better
known as the Lebanon Law School.
In company with a young friend, im
mediately after graduation, he came
to Arkansas in 1869 locating at Jack
sonport, where he began the practice
of his profession.
When the Civil war broke out he
entered the volunteer service, serv
ing throughout the four years’ con
flict, during which time he rose to the
rank of Colonel. In 1866 he again
commenced the practice of law at
JacKsonport, and in 1866 was elected
a member of the state legislature.
During the troublous times in Arkan
sas he was selected as one of the
commissioners to represent the state
government at Washington. In 1872
he was a candidate for congress from
this district; was elected by several
thousand majority, but notwithstand
ing this fact his opponent, Asa
Hodges, was given the seat. He was
re-nominated for the 44th and 46th
congresses, and elected both times by
large majorities. This is the record,
and this the career in brief of the
gentleman for whom this chapter is
named. To say that he was a man
and a gentleman would sum up the
full measure of his qualities, but we
think we would be recreant to our
high regard and esteem for him if we
did not use our pen in giving a just
estimate of him in the various rela
tions as sustained by him to his fam
ily, his country and his profession.
As a husband and father, no orre ever
f.jl ■ ’ such relations more worthily;
in no place did he show his genial at
tributes of mind and heart to more
fl/tvn.ntn.P'o than in the family circle.
To his friends he was an ever welcome
visitor. To his country he did his
duty, both as a citizen and in a rep
resentative capacity. Also as a mem
ber of the profession he adopted
early in life, he was one most es
teemed throughout the State. If he
erred, it was a mistake of the head,
and not of the heart.
All honor to the memory of the
Honorable Lucieii C. Gause.
FUNERAL SERVICES.
The funeral services of the late Mrs.
Mattie Stayton Waterman were held
at St. Paul’s Episcopal church Tuesday
morning at ten o’clock, conducted in
a most impressive way by the rector,
Rev. N. B. Norton.
The vested choir entered the church
followed by the rector next the
casket fairly hidden beneath the
floral offerings of friends, then the
family. The service was beautiful,
including the favorite hymns of the
deceased as told by the turned-down
leaves of her hymnal.
“Lead Kindly Light” was one of
these and was very sweetly sung by
the choir.
The flowers, tributes to and em
blems of the purity of the departed
life, were of that rich profusion, which
marked the number of her friends.
Services were also held at the grave
in Walnut Grove cemetary, conducted
by Rev. Mr. Norton.
The pall-bearers were Messrs. S. R.
Phillips, Alcorn Ferguson, Robert
Harder, John Wallace, W. R. Thomp
son and Gustave Jones.

DAUGHTERS OF CONFEDERACY
SELECT SECOND SITE.
Fort Smith, Jan. 5.—The Daughters
of the Confederacy, at a meeting this
afternoon, decided to abandon the
idea of placing the Confederate monu
ment in the National cemetery and
voted to erect it in the county court
house yard. The war department re
cently, in response to a protest made
by Sam Peters and other federal
veterans, decided that a monument to
the Confederate dead could be erected
in the National cemetery, where so
many Southern Boldiers are buried,
but that the monument must be with
out the figure of a Confederate soldier
surmounting it, and must be without
the reproduction of a Confederate
flag, with the words, “Lest We For
get,” which are distinguishing features
of the design chosen by the Daughters
of the Confederacy. The G. A. R.
post here is in full sympathy with the
ladies.
WATCH ST. LOUIS.
The greatest World’s Fair the world
has ever seen will be held at St. Louis

work of preparation for this great
World’s Fair and to get all the news
