1 MISSING BOY.
Helena, Ijpril 16.—Louis, the
9-year-old fcn of L. P. Muller
gerra, a furniture dealer of this
city, has |een missing since
yesterday afternoon-at 4:30. The
little fellow was last seen on the
,levee watching the warships
Nashville and Lawrence and was
on board the latter at one time.
It was thought possibly he had
|.t been carried away on the vessel,
but a search at Memphis this
afternoon developed the fact he
was not there.
The little fellow” s parents are
-almost frantic with apprehen
sion, and the general sentiment
is begining, to be that the child
got too close to the water’s edge
during the (excitement over the
leaving of the warships and fell
into the swollen Mississippi, pos
sibly before |he very eyes of the
multitude of the people who lined
the levee, anp went down with
out being seen. Searching par
ties were looking for the lost boy
all last night and today, but have
discovered no trace of him.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
If Jeff Davis ever was for Par
ker he is against him now, be
cause ex-Senator Jones says Par
ker voted for Bryan. Not be
cause Parker voted for Bryan,
but because Jones said he .did.—
Pine Bluff Graphic.
These Arkansas boys who have
Tennesaee sweethearts had best
go a little slow. The courts have
decided that under the laws of
that state refusal to support a
mother-m-law;is sufficient ground
for a divorce.—Pine Bluff
Graphic.
While many Democrats are
very much dissatisfied with the
nomination of Davis and do not
feel like they can consistently
; support him, having denounced
him—and justly so, we believe—
as a liar, a coward, a blackguard
and a dishonest man, yet they
will not support a Republican,
j believing that that party was in
a measure responsible for Davis’
| nomination, having used their
; influence in that direction. Oh,
i no, we may go fishing on election
day, but we will not support a
Republican. — Marianna Courier.
Bill Jones, hanged at Walnut
Ridge Friday for murder, was
one of two negroes executed in
the state for the same crime.
The other execution took place j
at Helena. These executions:
were positive refutations of the |
oft-repeated assertion that it is j
impossible to have the law en-;
forced in the South without mo- j
lestation from the mob. It is
said, nowever, mat at least r,ouu
persons witnessed the execution
at Walnut Ridge. The law only
provides that twenty-five per
sons shall witness such execu
tions. That law should never be
violated.—Little Rock Democrat.
JEFFERSON BROWN.
Jeff Brown, living on the ex
perimental farm, died Saturday
evening at 5 o’clock, and was
buried Sunday afternoon at Wal
nut Grove cemetery. Funeral
services were conducted by C. j
Pope, pastor of the Methodist
church. Mr. Brown had been j
dangerously sick with pneumo-j
nia for about ten days. He leaves I
a wife and two small children, j
who have the sympathy of a host j
of relatives and friends in this,
the saddest hour of their lives.
