Several of Star City's people, both old and young, spent a few days on the bayou this week angling for the finny tribe.
Letter to the Editor - Will you allow me space in your valuable paper to correct a false report that is circulating through this county. The report is that if I am elected Treasurer of this county, that I would hold the office at my home. I wish to say that if nominated and elected, I will be in the office at Star City every day attending to the duties of said office myself, and not by deputy. Yours respectfully, J.C. Knox, May 22d, 1896

Palmyra Mr. Editor (Lincoln Ledger) Allow space in your columns to reply to "Vox Populi," who wrote a letter to last week's issue. The writer, who ever he was was as greatly mistaken in his own name as he is in the views he expresses. Had he signed his name "Vox Fooli" he would, at least, expressed one truth. It is very probable that this brilliant (?) writer is a political henchman of either Collins or McGehee, or at least a sneaking enemy of H.D. Avery's, against whom he was evidently trying to prejudice the people in their action in the coming primaries. The writer intended to lead the people to believe that Avery was disqualified to serve them simply because he does not own the amount of property of either of the others. I do not know what property Mr. Avery owns aside from his household goods, but it would indeed be surprising if he owned anthing after going throught the hands of political tricksters the past four years simply to advance the interest of the party. I hope the people are not unmindful of the fact that the part was unorganized in 1892, and when a few party patriots undertook to reorganize the party with a view of putting______ticket, it was feared that men could not be found that would permit their names upon the ticket and who would go into the fight with their money and time when success seemed hopeless. In the midst of these gloomy surroundings it was orated around that there would be a public caucus of Democrats at the Masonic dinner at Tyro on June 24th. At the caucus, on this day, I am informed that the name of Avery was suggested for clerk, but in a disinterested speech he told them he was not a suitable man, by reason of his limited residence of seven years in this county, and his limited acquaintance among the people. After considerable insistence, Avery told them he was a true blue democrat and wasn't afraid to go into the fight against any Republican, that every walked, and when the democratic convention met if they needed the name of a straight democrat, from sheriff to cornorer, he would put his name in. In the meantime, mark you, letters had been written to competent men in every part of the county, inviting them to take places on the ticket, as clerk, but "nary a one" loved his party enough to offer. When the convention met, Avery, though in Memphis, was unanimously nominated, and ordered home to go into the campaign. All know the result. Bryant died in Hot Springs the day before the election but beat Avery 29 votes. Meroney was 14 votes ahead of Rogers for sheriff, and Rogers was preparing for a contest, but by some hook and crook of political logic a petition was circulated to call a new election for clerk, which was duly done in conformity to the wishes of certain wise workers, Rogers was got into the race for clerk. Meroney escaped the contest, and the "load of brick" fell on Avery who was robbed of all the office made above a living by the hottest contest every known in this county. And now this "Vox Fooli" tells the people of Lincoln county that Collins and McGehee are the men because they have property. Where did these great men get their property? From the sweat of an honest brow? go ask the shades of the departed Judge McGehee and the aged Joe X. Collins and they will tell you, "From my honest toil and sweat." Besides, are the people of Lincoln county prepared to say that there should be a property qualification for office holding? If this be true then how long before there will be a law requiring property qualifications for voters? Citizens of the 16th Senatorial District, let your vote in the primaries say whether or not you are in favor of those voting only who have so much property. The wirter of this is a friend to Mr. Avery, because he knows him, knows he is possessed of all the elements of manhood. Unsigned

Last Tuesday morning our little town was shocked by the announcement that Mrs. A.W. Nobles was dead. She was sick only a few hours and her death not expected. In fact, very few knew that she was sick at all until her death was announced. She leaves a husband and ten children, the youngest a baby born the morning before the mother's death. Mrs. Nobles was the wife of one of our best citizens of the firm of Nobles & Carter, and formerly sheriff of Lincoln county. Mrs. Nobles was highly esteemed and loved by all for her gentleness and christian character, a devoted wife and mother. The Ledger, together with a host of friends, extend to the bereaved husband, children and other relatives deepest sympathy in this their sad hour of lonliness and grief..

Lee Fish and Miss Virginia Cogbill were married recently, but when, where and by whom we have not been advised, therefore, we are unable to give a more extended notice of the wedding.

Lee, H.A. Nobles, E.M. Rucker, C.T. Owen, formerly of Lincoln county, but now of Pine Bluff, Norman Fullbright.
Dr. Weatherall reports a girl born to Mr. and Mrs. Willis Johnson on the 5th and also a girl to Mr. and Mrs. Herman Bush on the 7th inst.

We are told that Mrs. John Ratterree, residing near Garnet is very low with cancer and not expected to live many more days. The lady has been unconscious for over four weeks.
Better take your umbrellas when you go out in town Dec. 17. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Neptune, Jupiter and Saturn will be in conjunction that day, and a scientist predicts cataclysmic weather.
The Ledger regrets that it was deemed necessary to again place Will Atkinson in the hospital for nervous diseases at Little Rock. The unfortunate gentleman was carried to that institution a few days ago.
Grady is forging to the front as well as Star City. In our live and progressive town a new brick hotel is being erected and also several frame residences.

ANSWERS THE LAST ROLL CALL Amidst weeping skies the remains of Thomas J. McFalls, pioneer citizen and Confederate veteran, was laid to rest in Heflin cemetery last Sunday afternoon. Mr. McFalls, or as he was affectionately known, as "Uncle Tom," passed to the great beyond last Saturday, February 24, at 2 o'clock, at the ripe old age of 85 years and 9 days. Uncle Tom was born in Mississippi in 1838, but moved to Arkansas with his parents in 1866. Subsequently he married Katherine White, and lived together happily for 43 years when the death angel claimed the wife. As a result of this union 13 children came to bless them, eight boys and five girls, only seven survive. Beside these seven children there are left 37 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren and a great host of other relatives. In 1861 he entered the Confederate army and left a record of valor which is a priceless heritage for those whom he loved. He was in the battle of Shiloh and other sanguinary conflicts of the Civil War, but never received a wound. Though not a member of any church he knew God had been with him all these many years and was ready to go whenever He called. He was highly respected and greatly beloved by all who knew him. For sometime had been in failing health and because of his broken constitution he was unable to wage a winning fight for his life, but he prayed to die and often said to his friends who visited him that he was ready to answer the last roll call without fear, and like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams he passed from death unto life. His familiar figure will be missed from off our streets and at the annual reunion of his comrades. Rev. W. L. Merrin, pastor of the Presbyterian church here, preached the funeral sermon at the grave and Father Crook read the burial service for the Confederate dead.

As a result of this union 13 children came to bless them, eight boys and five girls, only seven survive. Beside these seven children there are left 37 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren and a great host of other relatives. In 1861 he entered the Confederate army and left a record of valor which is a priceless heritage for those whom he loved. He was in the battle of Shiloh and other sanguinary conflicts of the Civil War, but never received a wound. Though not a member of any church he knew God had been with him all these many years and was ready to go whenever He called. He was highly respected and greatly beloved by all who knew him. For sometime had been in failing health and because of his broken constitution he was unable to wage a winning fight for his life, but he prayed to die and often said to his friends who visited him that he was ready to answer the last roll call without fear, and like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams he passed from death unto life. His familiar figure will be missed from off our streets and at the annual reunion of his comrades. Rev. W. L. Merrin, pastor of the Presbyterian church here, preached the funeral sermon at the grave and Father Crook read the burial service for the Confederate dead.

The force with one accord voted Palmer a good Samaritan.
