COL. JNO. C. YANCEY DEAD
Distinguished Citizen Died at His
Home at Dunnington Friday.
Col. Jno. C. Yancey, who was
shot in the heel during a difficulty
with one of his tenants on the 5th
of December, died at his home at
'Dunnington Friday morning about
5 o’clock.
The wound was slight and was
considered very trifling at first,
but blood poison set up in a few
days after he was shot and
for several weeks his physicians .
have had but little hopes of his re- !
covery.
Colonel Yancey was a native of
Virginia, but settled in Crittenden
county, Arkansas, in DT I and was
admitted to the bar of the county
shortly afterwards. He practiced
law alone for nearly a year and
then formed a partnership with
Col. Robert H. Crockett, with
whom he remained two years.
After dissolving partnership
with Col. Crockett he moved to
Batesville and practiced law alone
for four years, and then formed
a partnership with Col. II. S.
Coleman, with whom he remained
about ten years, and together they
established a reputation as a law
firm of the greatest ability.
Later he made Judge F. D.j
Fulkerson, the present Judge of
this Judicial Circuit, his partner,
and remained with him until Mr.
Fulkerson was elected to his pres
ent position.
Colonel Yancey was a member
of the house of representatives in
1SS5, and always took an active
part in public affairs. !
Colonel Yancey leaves a wife
and four children, Mrs. C. O.
Bradshaw, of Little Rock, and
three sons, Dunnington, Crockett j
and Dor mis.
OIJR NEW SENATOR.
The Philadelphia Press says,
'Meff Davis of Arkansas is quoted
as saying that when he enters the
United States Senate ‘t here will be
something doing in town.' So we
understand, new floor clamps have
been put on the desks in the i
Senate so that Davis cannot tear!
them loose, and a coating of ce- !
merit is to be placed on the walls j
so that Mr. Davis cannot bite
chunks out of the plastering when j
he breaks loose in an Arkansas!

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD
Members of the school board
are deserving of more thanks than
they receive, oftimes. They serve
the school interests of the district
without pay, and often make con
siderable sacrifice in their business
affairs, that they may give the
duties of the office the proper"at
tention. Speak a good word for
these men, and sometimes say a
kind word to them. It will help
them and you, and may often aid
in making school work more sue
cessful. Arkansas School Jour

SAYS IT IS AN IMPOSITION
Citizen Thinks it Wrong to Ask or
Permit Officers to Sign Notes.
To The Newark Journal:
The writer had occasion recent
ly to spend a day at our county
courthouse and while there noticed
three different individuals call an
officer off to one corner of his of
fice, and draw out a small piece of
paper and hand to the officer.
One of the papers the officer signed
but in the other two instances, the
officer declined politely to sign
the paper, and shifted the subject
to something else. When the
officer returned after the third in
dividual retired, the writer asked
him what they wanted and he re
plied, ‘‘They wanted me to sign
their paper as a surety.”
| Just think of it! If an officer
: signs three notes each day in a
year for only $2.TOO each, he will
have signed 1,005, amounting to
more than $27,000.
After I left the court house, I
visited a bank and while there
talked with one of the bankers
about what had transpired at the
courthouse, and he said “We look
with a degree of suspicion on
almost any man that comes to our
bank, wanting a loan, and oilers
only politicians as security. We
realize that they are seeking to
take advantage of the officer and
force him to sign their paper, be
cause he is in a public position and
may sometime run for another
office.”
He then figured a little on the
subject and stated futher that very
likely, if the officers should sign
every note that is presented to
them during a year, each one
would continuously be on notes for
not less than $10,000. And he
stated futher that in several in
stances, officers have suffered
heavily by being caught on worth
less paper.
Now, in our opinion, men of
honor and pride should not im
pose on their public servants in
this way: and 1 believe the bank
should rigidly discourage making
loans to men that can get no one
but officers and politicians on theii
paper; and that there should be
laws enacted prohibiting bonded
officers signing notes and bonds.
And morever, good citizens
should never lend encouragmenl
to men who seek to take advantage
of their public servants, and force
them to sign their paper because
they are in politics; and the officers
should be positive and deliberate
in matters of this kind. They
should not cater to politicos and
allow men of bad judgment, reck
less and questionable inclinations
to draw them into their nets as the
spider does the fly.
Hereafter before we sign ar
officer's bond, we will have tc
1 know postively that he will keep
himself free from all such danger
■ ous and un business-like persons.
