Callaway, pastor of the First Baptist church, died at his home in this city Sunday afternoon at 2 p. m., after a lingering illness of sev ral weeks. Bro. Callaway, as he was affection itely known by a great number of ■itizens of Batesville, even though not members of his church, had been pas tor of the First church in this city for almost ten years, with the excep •ion of two or three years during which time he was forced to give up his pastorate temporarily on account of failing health and go to a western limate, and it is no exaggeration to ay that he enjoyed the confidence nd esteem of not only the members f his church, but those of all churches nd of all classes to a degree that has lever been excelled by any one who as ever lived in Batesville. He was rated as a strong preacher n his denomination throughout the tate, and held positions of honor, re ponsibility and trust in the delibera ons of the governing bodies of his hurch and his advice and counsel was igerly sought in all such. But it was not in this capacity one that he was so pre-eminent, nd it was not this alone that was re ponsible for the unusual influence hat he exerted upon his community, at rather his strong Christian char ■ter. and the simple and unostenta ous and pure life that he lived in ’is daily walk and association with 'is fellow-men that marked him an nusual man even among good men. Although a man of forceful convic ions and strong’ in his denunciation f wrong wherever found, still he had hat sweet Christian charity and evi ent sincerity of purpose in all his indertakings that forced even the most vile and corrupt to respect him. nd hence it is that his passing away as occasioned such profound and niversal sorrow among all classes of his city, and particularly so the members of his church and his im mediate friends with whom he was more closely assoicated. Knowing for some forty-eight hours .efore his death that the end was ear, yet he approached it with all 'he resolute confidence and lack of ‘ear of the martyred apostles of old. I is true Christian charity showing to 'he end. his last thoughts and wishes ere about his friends and fellow- Five Reels men. and calling them to him. he gave them a last message of love and di rection. The great Apostle al’ul, his great prototype, and about whom he pleached so delightfully and inter < stingly, did not approach his end any more heroically or with more unflinching courage than did he and with him he could truly say: "1 have fought a good fight, I have finished my course. I have kept the faith, henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous .Judge, will surely give at that day." It was the admonition of an anci ent philosopher that we should count no man happy till he dies, and if there is truth in the promises of the Christian religion in which Bro. Cal laway believed so devoutly, his rel atives and friends need not mourn for his going away, for his Christian haracter and life of service and de votion to the cause of his Master en tit e him and will surely give him a happy location in the company of the olessed righteous who have preceded lim. Well could he say: "Death, what art thou? To whom all bow, The Sceptered King and slave. Our last best friend, our cares to end. 1 hy empire is the grave.” He is survived by his wife and one daughter. Miss Madge, who have ren deied unselfish devotion to him in his ist il ness and who have the sym athy and affectionate regard of a host of friends in this city. The funeral services were held this afternoon at the First Baptist church, ■ here he had so long been the faith .ul pastor, in the presence of a large owd of friends and acquaintances, conducted by Rev. E. P. Aldredge, astor of Immanuel Baptist church. Little Rock, who had been a long me friend of Bro. Callaway, it be ng one of his last requests that Rev. \ldridge should perform this last rite for him. which he did in a very im pressive manner. A Friend. GERARD WANTS NO MAR. Berlin, May 7.—ln an interview in 'he National Zeitung. James W. Ge ’ard, the American ambassador, is quoted as saying: “In this crisis, as in all previous crises. I attached the greatest value to removing a misunderstanding be tween Germany and America and did everything in my power that a con flict between the two countries might Ite avoided. I want no war Itetween Germany and America. I have never wanted and shall never want one. “I assure you that the accusation that I am an enemy of Germany is totally wrong. I have never done anything to justify the charge that I hate German characteristics or Ger man men.” Against those who have maligned him.

Harm- 25c and 50c AR Gr—rs, NEW OFFENSIVE IN WEST. What seemingly is a new offensive, with its objective the capture of Ver dun, has been launched by the Ger mans northeast and northwest of the fortress. In both sectors gains for the Germans are chronicled in the latest French official communication. In the former sector, between the Haudremont wood and Douamont, French first line trenches over nearly a third of a mile were entered by the German troops, while northeast of Verdun, east of Hill 304, they i>en etrated underground passage ways < f the French. Except near Hill 304, however, the entire attack which was thrown against the sector betTveen Hill 304 and Le Mort Homme was re pulsed with serious losses to the Ger mans. A similar fate befell the al tacking forces in the northwest, ex cept in the region of the Haudremont wood. Both attacks were delivered after heavy preparatory Itombard ments. Bombardments have been in pro ■ ress in Belgium. The artillery ac tion has been extremely heavy in the ’Voevre and at the foot of the Meuse •lills east of Verdun. Russian torpedo boats have inefftc ually shelled German positions on he northern coast of Courland ac ording to Berlin. In Galicia, along the lower Stripa liver, the Russians have made a further advance against the Teutons, while in the Caucasus the Turkish "Hacks in the Black sea littehal were repulsed. The Turks, who had been contest ing the advance of Russians between Bagdad in the Serinalkerind region, have retreated hastily after having sustained heavy losses, leaving behind them their tents and war material. Small infantry encounters at vari ous points along the Austro-Italian f-ont. in which what advantages here was, rested with the Italians, -ave served to vary the usual fight ng with the big guns. Berlin reports the recent sinking in the Mediterranean, by a mine of an entente allied transport with 600 Russians on board and the destruc tion of a British aeroplane and the capture of another aircraft in the North sea. A British official com munication admits the loss of the two aeroplanes, but denies a claim by the Germans that the British submarine E-31 was sunk by the Germans, de claring the vessel has returned safe ly to its base. AN ENJOYABLE DATING. T. Marvin Matheny. Brown and Fd Crow, three of Independence coun ty's products, and Dr. V. H. Tate, all of Little Rock, opened camp near the mouth of Lafferty Creek on May 1 for a week’s vacation angling for the finny tribe. They were well prepared as they had with them a 16-foot tent, and an abundance of cooking utensils, beds and bedding. They extended a cordial invitation to many of their friends to visit them, the invitation being accepted by I. J. Matheny, who stayed from Tuesday morning until Friday evening. Dr. J. H. Kennedy also paid them a visit Friday morn ing, bringing along with him his col ored man. Charley Brown. Notwithstanding they all worked hard to secure minnows, and that the first three days there was rain and cold, they at all times had plenty of til kinds of game fish, weighing from one to two pounds, and enough to sup ply Dr. Kennedy and Mr. Matheny with a goodly supply to take home Friday. They were also able to sup ply Mr. Case and others of the Cot ter local, who had treated them so courteously. Dr. Tate, who is a good fisherman, says our game fish are the finest he has ever caught, and adds that those who have never eaten fish from the ure stream of White river does not I.now how to appreciate the merits of the finny tribe.
