owing to poor health, he sold out his share to his partner and took a trip through Texas, Mexico and New Mexico, returning home much improved in health, at the end of five months. He again began working for his former employers, Messrs. Fer- guson & Hamson, and about four months later, in the month of December, while sitting in the store after dark, he was fired upon through a window by a man, who shot him in the left breast with a double-barreled shotgun, the wound being so serious that he was obliged to give up work until the 22d of April. The would-be murderer was caught and sentenced to the penitentiary for nine years. After recovering, Mr. Carleton went to Frenchman's Bayou, where he purchased the mer- cantile stock of R. E. L. Wilson, where he re- mained in business until January, 1885, returning the following year to Nodena. He is now engaged in farming (his land being rented of Mr. Ferguson), and has about 425 acres in cotton and corn, which requires the care of from fifty to 150 men. His wife, who was Miss Nina Uzzell, was born in this county in 1860, her parents, J. W. Uzzell and wife, having settled at Frenchman's Bayou in 1858. To Mr. and Mrs. Carleton have been born two children: Edith Orr and Nina Gray. Mr. Carle- ton is a Mason, and a member of the Knights and Ladies of Honor.

W. F. Carloss' name has become a familiar one to the people of Mississippi as well as the sur- rounding counties, and his genial, sincere nature, no less than the business in which he is engaged, has tended to bring about this result. His birth oc- curred in Phillips County, Ark., in 1859, he being the second of four children born to A. C. and Eliz- abeth (Harkleroads) Carloss, the former of whom was a prominent farmer and miller of that county. whither he moved in 1848, beginning his ca- reer as a farmer on a very limited scale indeed. He now owns 2,000 acres in one body, 600 being under cultivation, and as he has held the office of justice of the peace there for many years. he is very well known, and has been given the cognomen of "Squire Carloss." Upon growing up. W. F. Car- loss was instructed in all the details of farm life. and received his elementary education in the com-

mon schools of Phillips County, which was after- ward supplemented by one and a half year's attend- ance at the Christian Brothers' College of Memphis, Tenn., acquiring in that well known institution an education of more than ordinary thoroughness. Upon reaching the age of twenty-one, he began as fireman, but was soon afterward promoted to the position of conductor on the Arkansas Midland Railroad, serving in the latter capacity for two years. He then filled the position of station agent and postmaster at Marvel, Ark., from 1880 to 1883, and at the latter date was married to Miss Mittie Hudson of Phillips County. He soon after became interested in well-boring, purchased a set of tools, and began drilling wells in Arkansas, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee and California, and did so well at the business that he is now operating six sets, two of which are run by steam. He has had extensive experience in this business, and agrees that if, after the well is sunk, the water-supply is exhausted, he will charge nothing for his work. He sinks his well to a great depth in order to ob- tain water from coarse white sand and gravel, and not one has ever been known to fail; a well at Osceola supplies two forty-horse power engines. They are becoming very popular in this part of the country, as they are lasting and cheap, and are spoken of in a highly flattering manner by every one. In 1887 this business was organized as the Carloss Well Company, their main office being at 254 Second street, Memphis, Tenn. Mr. and Mrs. Carloss have a son named Leslie.

J. J. Carr, a prominent planter at Barfield, was born in Robertson County, Tenn., in 1853, and was the fifth child of Robert D. and Elizabeth (Lowe) Carr, of Virginia and Tennessee, respectively. The father was an extensive farmer and stock raiser in Tennessee, until 1858, when he moved to Missis- sippi County, Ark., and settled at Barfield, on the farm upon which his son now resides. At his removal Mr. Carr sold his property in Tennessee for $60,000, and invested the greater portion of that sum in lands of this county, buying some 10,000 acres of land, and erecting a handsome residence one mile from the river. Since that time the river banks have caved in to such an extent that the

residence has been removed one mile farther back. and now the river flows directly past it. The elder Carr, soon after his arrival, began improving his land on quite an extensive scale, and in a short time had over 200 acres of land under cultivation. His death occurred in 1861, at the age of fifty-five years, just three years after his settlement in Ar- kansas. After his decease the estate was managed į by his widow and her oldest son. At the age of sixteen years J. J. Carr attended school at High Plains, Tenn., and afterward entered the seminary at Walnut Grove, where he remained for three years, returning to Mississippi County on the oc- casion of his mother's death. He then entered the business house of Edrington & Co., at Osceola, and occupied a clerical position for three years, after which he went to Memphis, Tenn., and trav- eled for a firm of cotton factors. At the first out- break of yellow fever, in 1877, he gave up his employment, and returned to Mississippi County, where he took possession of his farm, tben con- sisting of 125 acres under cultivation, but num- bering in all about 1,100 acres. He has added 350 acres more since then, and has some 150 acres under cultivation, well stocked and fenced. Mr. Carr was married in 1882 to Miss Susie Phillips, of Missouri, a daughter of Richard R. Phillips, one of the oldest settlers of New Madrid County, Mo. This union has given them three children: John Haiden, Rosa Louise and an infant daughter. Mrs. Carr is a devout Christian, and belongs to the Methodist Episcopal Church, and Mr. Carr is a member of Osceola Lodge No. 1153, Knights of Pythias. His land will average one bale of cot- ton to the acre, and about fifty bushels of corn, and in connection with his farming interests he operates a cotton-gin on his place, and owns the steamboat landing, known as the Chickasawba Landing, where most of the cotton from the town- ship of that name is shipped, and the goods for that locality are received. Mr. Carr is a gentle- man of pleasing manners and address, and is well 1 and popularly known throughout that section. where he is highly esteemed.

of that city, is a native of North Carolina, his Mr. Cartwright is a representative business man, is careful and painstaking in all matters relating to the saddlery business, and carries a full and com- plete stock of goods. His parents, Noah G. and Cassandra (Bailey) Cartwright, were both natives of North Carolina, where the father carried on agricultural pursuits. birth occurring in 1841. His scholastic advantages were rather limited, as he only attended the com- mon schools until twelve years of age, after which he was apprenticed to learn the harness-maker's trade, and served three years. He then began working at his trade, which occupation he continued for about four years, and during that time be- A. L. Cissell. Among the representative men of this county none are more favorably known or more highly respected than the above-mentioned gentleman. His prominence arises from personal worth, which the public is not slow in recognizing, as well as from distinguished family connections. he being a direct descendant of Sir Robert Cecil, who was an exile from England on account of relig- ion, and who first settled Cecil County, Md. Mr. Cissell was born in Bar Township, Daviess County, Ind., in 1844, and is the son of J. A. Cissell, who. came with his father, James S. Cecil, from Nelson County, Ky., when a boy, and settled in Indiana. Here James A. Cissell changed his name from Cecil to Cissell, and so it has since been continued by the Kentucky branch of the descendants. A. L. Cissell was reared at Loogootee, Ind., until eighteen years of age, and upon the bursting of the war cloud which had hovered above the country for so long a time, he enlisted in the Fifty-second In- diana Volunteer Infantry, and served four years, taking part in the campaign from Fort Donelson to Mississippi, or Harrisburg, where in 1864 he was severely wounded. He was then sent to the Overton Hospital in Memphis, and from there home on a furlough. In August, 1864. he re- turned to the regiment at Jefferson Barracks, Mo . and was afterward in a fight at Franklin, Mo., with Gen. Price. After this he was put in charge of the wounded and sent to the marine hospital at St. Louis, where he remained for some time. later going home to vote. Subsequently he rejoined his regiment at St. Louis, just from the raid after Gen. Price in Missouri, and from there accompanied it to Nashville. Tenn., although classed as non- combatant, owing to the wound in his right 1 joined bis regiment at Montgomery, Ala., just prior to being mustered out at Indianapolis, Ind .. came convinced that a better education was neces- sary, and attended school one year. In 1861, when the late Civil War broke out. Mr. Cartwright enlisted in Company F, First North Carolina In- fantry, and was in Lee's army from its organization to the surrender. He was in the battles of Roanoke Island, where he was captured, but soon paroled; was at the battle of Chancellorsville, also the battle of the Wilderness, and was in a great many minor engagements. He surrendered at Appo- mattox with Gen. Lee's army, April 9, 1865. Mr. Cartwright was then in North Carolina for about a year, and in the spring of 1866 moved to Memphis, but in August of the same year he came to Osceola, where he taught the public school for two years. He married Miss Sallie E. Williams. daughter of James H. Williams, of that place, and one of the old and much respected citizens of the county. After his marriage Mr. Cartwright rented land and engaged in agricultural pursuits. Soon after he purchased 160 acres about twelve miles up the river, and on this he made many improvements. This very pleasant home he sold at the end of three years, but continued farming for a number of years after that. In 1879 he started the first saddlery and harness-making shop in Osceola. He purchased a lot in that city, erected a store, and in 1882 built the fine residence in which he now resides. In 1888 he put up his present store- room on Main Street, and now has a good and rapidly increasing business. In 1883 he was elected mayor of Osceola, and in 1888 he was elected justice. By his union with Miss Williams Mr. Cartwright became the father of these chil- dren: Charley W., who died at the age of two ; years; Mary Frances, died in infancy: Foster, also : shoulder. He was sent to the hospital. and re- died in infancy; Katie, James W .. Vance, Leland and Henry (twins, and both deceased), and Finley.

in September, 1865. Mr. Cissell then returned to home until his farm was carried away into the river, then moved back to Clear Lake and bought 160 acres of land, on which there was a slight clearing and a few improvements made. He erected him a house, made other improvements in the way of buildings and fences, and there resided until his death in 1868, having lived a life of use- fulness and honor. His widow still survives him. From earliest boyhood John W. Conley has been familiar with life on a farm, and at the age of nine- teen years entered upon active life as a farmer, which occupation has received his attention up to the present time, the perseverance and industry he has displayed being rewarded by substantial re- sults. He first tilled the soil in Chickasawba Township for seven years and in 1883 settled at Clear Lake on a tract of 106 acres, which had previously belonged to his father, where he has made some improvements in the way of repairing. His marriage with Miss Elma Patterson was cele- brated in 1874, she being a native of Indiana, and a daughter of an old pioneer of this section. To them have been born a family of five children: Re- becca, Andrew J., Rosetta C., Eldord and Naomi. Loogootee, Ind., where he rented land of his fa- ther, and was there united in marriage to Miss Sarah C. Brown, daughter of Felix Brown, of Loogootee. In 1869, in company with his father and brother, Mr. Cissell made a prospecting tour to Mississippi County, Ark., and there bought 213 acres of land, while his father bought 160 acres, mostly timber land. The next year they brought their families and settled on land situated on Car- son's Lake, about six miles southwest of Osceola. where he cleared some 200 acres. There A. L. Cis- sell remained until 1879, when he engaged in mer- cantile business at Osceola, and continued in this for two years, when he sold out at a loss of $13,000. After paying every cent he was left in debt to the amount of $928 which, in 1884, he managed to place in the hands of one man. He then resumed agricultural pursuits, and is now the owner of 505 acres, with 165 under cultivation. In 1888 he was a candidate for sheriff of Missis- sippi County, but was defeated, owing to the fact that he left the field in the heat of the contest to undergo the most trying ordeal which can befall a man, the loss of a true and loving wife. She died Mr. Conley is serving as school director, and has July 9, 1888, leaving three children: Maggie is always been interested in the advancement of edu- cation, as well as all other good works. He was born in 1856, and was the second of seven children. Mrs. O. W. Stacey, and now lives on a farm near her father's; Nora is the wife of J. H. Meyers, whose sketch appears elsewhere in this volume, and Til- den is at home. Mr. Cissell is a member of i the A. O. U. W., located at Osceola, and is a member of the Catholic Church, as was also his wife, who died in that faith. holding membership in the Church of St. Matthew, at Osceola.

John W. Conley. This young agriculturist is : the son of a man who during a residence of four- teen years in this county became well known and prominently identified with the county's interests. James Conley was born in the " Old Dominion," being a member of one of the first families there, and was married in the State of Arkansas to Miss Rebecca Cutright, who was born in Indiana. They took up their abode in Mississippi County, Ark., in 1854, settling at Daniel's Point, and began farm- ing along the river, Mr. Conley having been pre- viously engaged in flat-boating. He made this his

Thomas B. Craighead was born near Nashville, Tenn., about 1800. He was a younger brother of David Craighead, also a lawyer. He came to Ar- kansas about the year 1838, purchasing a large tract of land opposite Fort Pillow, where he opened quite an extensive plantation. Mr. C. was a bach- elor, and of the simplest of tastes. He was un- ambitious as a farmer, and continued after his re- moval to Arkansas to practice law, as he would say. to support the negroes on his farm. He rarely left his home except to attend court at Osceola or at the neighboring county seats in Tennessee. Mr. Craighead was a man of extraordinary character. At home he was simple in his habits. living in a plain log cabin, with no associates except his negroes, yet he was a man who would have shone conspicuously in any company in the United States. His mind was clear and active, well stored with in-

HISTORY OF ARKANSAS.

formation of every kind, his manners most fascin- ating; modest, generous, eloquent, hospitable, charitable, he is to this day remembered by and lovingly spoken of by the older inhabitants as the noblest man they ever knew. He was never known to collect a bill for legal services, although he was engaged on one side or the other in almost every case of importance in the county or neighborhood. If his client paid his fee, well and good; if not well also. Before the war Mr. Craighead, much against his will and inclination, was elected a sen- ator to represent his county in the Arkansas legis- lature. Such was his popularity among his legis- lative brethren that against his vain protests they named a new county, then just formed, after him. The bombardment of Fort Pillow drove Mr. Craig- head from his home, and being much exposed and in advanced years he was seized with pneumonia, and died on a neighboring farm belonging to one of his nephews, where his remains now lie.

James B. Craighead, a man of marked charac- ter and more than ordinary prominence in the ma- terial affairs of Mississippi County, Ark., is the eldest son of David Craighead, one of the pioneers of Arkansas, who was born near Nashville, Tenn., in Davidson County, in 1790, and for some years, after reaching maturity, was a resident of that city, where he practiced law, and at one time represent- ed his county in the State legislature as a senator. About the year 1834 he purchased a large body of land in Mississippi County, Ark., on a point oppo- site the town of Randolph, in Tipton County, Tenn., and with the help of slave labor opened a large plantation, but continued to make his home in Nashville. As was the custom of planters before the war, he passed a part of each year with his family on his plantation, and became so charmed with life on the banks of the Mississippi river, among his humble retainers, that he would gladly have remained there all the time except for the necessity of educating his children, of whom there were then five. He died at Memphis, Tenn., in 1849, while on his way home from Little Rock, Ark., where he had been on a matter of business. He was a man of fine personal appearance, cultivated and refined, and his views on all subjects were ;

broad and liberal, betokening a studious mind and deep thought. He was an intimate friend of An- drew Jackson and James K. Polk, always a Demo- crat in his political views, and an advocate of free trade. At this point it will not be inappro- priate to give a short history of Mississippi Coun- ty as it was at the time of Mr. Craighead's set- tlement. While but a Territory, the lands of Ar- kansas comprised within the present boundaries of Mississippi County were surveyed by the United States Government during the years 1824, 1825 and 1826, and were placed for entry in the land : office at Helena, Ark., at $1.25 per acre. The land : was covered with forests of cottonwood, gum, elm, hickory, walnut, ash and other timber, while the undergrowth consisted of almost impenetrable cane brake, which grew to the height of twenty feet, the stalks being over an inch in diameter. The remainder of the land was covered with water dur- ing the overflows, to a depth of from one to ten feet, and is yet to a great degree occupied by fine cypress brakes. Hardy pioneers visited this section i soon after it was surveyed, and with infinite trou- ble and pains examined and located the sections and quarter sections of land best suited for culti- vation, which as a general rule lay near the Mis- sissippi River. The knowledge which they had gained they sold for a consideration to capitalists from other States, who entered and purchased the land. Among those who availed themselves of 1 this opportunity may be mentioned Nathan Ross, David Craighead, Thomas B. Craighead, John Harding, Jacob McGavock, William Baird, Charles Bowen, Isaac Lanier, Edwin Jones and many others. These parties were true pioneers, coming to the country when it was a wilderness, inhabited by bears, wolves, wild cats and other wild animals. The reputation which Arkansas had at that date. and has since had, of being a resort for murderers and criminals of every description, was not de- served; for the actual residents of Mississippi Coun- ty were then, and are now, at least were until the close of the war, a quiet, peaceful and law-abiding people. The region was no place for the conceal- ment of criminals, for the reason that the settle- ments were on a narrow strip of land running

along the Mississippi River, closed in on the west by impenetrable cane-brakes and impassable swamps, and the places for crossing the river were few and far between. The original settlers above men- tioned came to Mississippi County and opened farms between the years 1833 and 1840. Osceola, the county seat, was a small village of about fifty inhabitants, and for many years the most impor- tant cases on the docket of the court were neigh- borhood troubles over a hog or a cow, with an oc- casional indictment of country boys who were caught playing "old sledge " in some out-of-the- way rendezvous. There was not then, and has never been, a stillhouse in the county, to our informant's knowledge, and whisky drinking was a rare vice, the people being perfectly sober, if not remark- ably industrious. Wealthy farmers lived quietly at home, raising crops of cotton and corn, and the poorer classes made a comfortable living cutting and selling cord-wood to steamers, until the cord- wood contiguous to the river, gave out, when coal began to be used, owing to its cheapness. The plantations along the river were at first far apart, but have been gradually extended until they touch each other, and most of the available high land is now occupied and cleared. As soon as levees are constructed (and they are now partially built), millions of acres of fine alluvial land will be ready for use. James B. Craighead, the gentleman whose name heads this sketch, was born in Nash- ville, Tenn., in 1825, and generally accompanied his father to his plantation in Mississippi County, Ark. In 1843 he graduated from the University of Nashville, and two years later entered Har- vard University, being graduated from the law department of that institution in 1847. The same year he settled in New Orleans, where he entered the law office of the late Isaac T. Preston, with the purpose of studying the code of Louisiana, but in January, 1849, his father died leaving a widow and several minor children, and James was compelled to return to Arkansas to wind up the estate, which occupied several years, during which time the family resided in Nashville. In October, 1849, he was married to Miss Erwin, of Nashville, by whom he had two children, both living, a
