DIED,
Near this place, on the evening of the 10th inst., after a protracted illness of five weeks, Mr. Pleasant A. WALKER, of Van Buren, Arkansas, in the 28th year of his age.
The deceased was a native of Saline county, Missouri, but emigrated to Arkansas a number of years ago, where the writer of this imperfect tribute became acquainted with him; and where by the display of the nobleness of his nature he won many and lasting friends. Mr. W. was a young man of uncommon activity, and fine business talents, and at the time of his untimely decease was just beginning to reap the fruits of a lucrative business and of his laborious habits. The deceased received, we are assured, during his illness every attention that medical skill could suggest of human agency devise. - "He has left many disconsolate relatives to mourn his loss." L.
