streams that gambol in the
mountains and pious politicians
that gamble in the night, roaring

sharp lawyers, sharp financiers
and sharp nosed gossips, fertile
plains that lie like sheets of
water and thousands of newspa
pers that lie like thunder. ”

always ready for an engagement
and he readily consented. His
reputation as a “dispenser” had
preceded him to Brinkley and he
was placed in the pitcher’s box.

Sam, during the shooting, cut a

MRS. MARTHA CROSSETT—DEAD.
Man’s knowledge may almost
reach the limit when the human
gives place to the inlinite,
but man in all his power cannot
stay the hand of death; is unable i
to intercept the march of the'
ruthless invader and fell desroy-;
er of homes. “The boast of j
heraldry, the pomp of power, all
that beauty, all that wealth e’er I
gave: await alike the inevitable
hour, the paths of glory lead
but to the grave. On last Tues
day evening at 7:20 p. m., Mrs.
Martha Crossett, wife of E. J. j
Crossett, passed from the labors j
and troubles of this life to the
joys of that life elysian, where
God’s own hand wipes away all
tears.
I
Mrs. Crossett was a native of
Tennessee where she was born
in 1853. For about 40 years she 1
has lived in Arkansas, living for ■
quite a number of years near
DeView. She moved from
DeView to McCrory about 12
years since. Mrs. Crossett was
the daughter of Dr. M. and Mrs.
Parthenia McMurtry. In 1870
she was united with E. J. Cros
sett, from which union were born
four children, two of whom sur
vive her. |
All that is now left of Mrs.
Crossett is a sweet memory and
an example of true womanly con- j
duct, worthy of invitation. She
was true to her friends and her !
God, what more fitting monu-j
ment can be reared to her mem- j1
ory than this—a woman of
character, commanding the re- ]
spect and admiration of all who .
knew her. She numbered her (
friends by the number of her ac
quaintances, and they were
legion. Her kind heart always 1
went out in sympathy to all who *
were afflicted and in distress
The funeral services took place
at the Odd Fellow’s cemetery, at
DeView, at 3 o’clock p. m., July
10, 1901, the services being con
ducted by Rev. S. L. Cochran,
who paid a beautiful tribute to
Mrs. Orossett’s pure, upright
life. The obsequis were attend
by a large concourse of friends.
The News joins the many
friends of the bereaved in ex
pressing their profoundest sym -
pathies to them in this sad hour.
Z. T. Woodard of Searcy, was
visiting here this week.
The following charming young
rosebuds of McCrory paid the
News office a pleasant visit today,
Thursday: Misses Annie Sue
Wilder, Ruth Johnson, Nannie

devil, Walter Raney, had his
hands full while they were in.
The devil has our sympathies.
