As a man, since he came to this state, he has been quiet and unoffensive, attending strictly to his own business. We are told that he was always popular with his employees and fellow laborers. He was a true, brave man who rushed into the drunken mob to save the life of a friend and not for the purpose of hurting others, but a cowardly scoundrel at an unexpected moment struck him on the head with a heavy stick and crushed his skull. He was three times knocked down either of which blows would have been fatal. He died from his wounds at the hospital in Pine Bluff Monday morning Aug. 23rd and was brought back to this county and buried in the grave yard at moore's Church.

E.P. MARKS. New Edinburgh, Ark., Feb. 15th, 1898.--Mr. Evan P. Marks died of heart disease at the Clements hotel last Saturday afternoon. He death was very sudden and was a great shock to the community. Mr. Marks came to his store as usual Saturday morning, but complained of not feeling well. At about 10 o'clock he was seized with severe pains and started home, but was unable to go farther than the hotel. He was put to bed, a doctor was summoned and every available means was used to relieve the stricken man but to no effct. At about 2 o'clock he passed quietly away. For these many years he had lived and labored with and for his people, but God put forth his hand and the pendulum of life ceased to vibrate and E.P. Marks passed from the walks of men to that beyond the grave. The deceased has served his country as a soldier, as a public officer, and as a privte citizen. As a soldier, he followed the banner of the Lost Cause for four years, being at the end captain of his company; as a public officer, he served as legislator, county and circuit clerk, and lastly as a member of the Board of State Charitable Institutions. In every capacity of life he served with distinguished ability. He was a man whom his people delighted to honor and was often solicited to be a candidate for office, but he persistently declined and only accepted a public trust from a sense of public duty. He leaves a wife and five daughters, three of whom are married, to mourn his loss, and his death is a sad shock to them. But the loss is not confined to his family. While we bow in sympanthy with those who were nearest to him, the community feels a deep sense of loss. The remains were interred at the cemetery Monday afternoon in the presence of the largest assembly of people who ever attended a funeral at this place. All business was suspended and everybody joined in doing honor to him who had been a honor to them.

September 29, 1898 issue: DEATH OF HUGHEY BREATHWIT Once again has the "angel of death" like some mighty bird of prey, spread its black wings over our little village, and with its own unrelenting hand wrote its cruel autograph upon the brow of our esteemed friend, Hughey Breathwit, Sept. 9, 1898. His immortal soul parted that veil which separates mortals from immortals and time from eternity passing swiftly from this world into the presence of the living God. Just entering manhood, in the prime of life, with his father and mother and surrounded with a sufficiency of this world's goods to fit and qualify himself for the battle of life in which we have every reason to believe his laurels would have been many. His whole life was one continued flow of filial affection and unparalled obedience to his parents in the purest sense of the word. A perfect man and star of the family. He had been complaining about 5 days but unwilling to give up was only confined to his bed four days. His relatives all were present except one sister whos love for brother was deeply cut by the might hand of death. His hands were always ready to discharge his duty but they now lie still in death. His bright and shining countenance which always scattered sunshine along the pathway of his friends and associates, will be seen no more. But one thing we know: His past life entitles him to a place among the rank and file of the redeemed. He was consistent and posessed a high degree of refinement together with a moral character that gave him an eminence in the esteem of all who knew him. As thou hast gone to the house of many mansions, we bid thee a long, loving, tender farewell. A Friend William McKinney Kingsland News.
