Shelby on the March

By Don Roth

tanooga on May 7, toward Dalton Georgia to destroy Gen. Joseph Johnston’s defiant and well trained army. Grant had ordered Sherman “to move against Johnston’s army, to break it up, and to get into the interior of the enemy’s country as far as you can, inflicting all the damage you can against their resources….” At a place called Snake Creek Gap Johnston countered a flanking move by taking his 53 thousand men on a retreat farther south toward Resaca, where opposing forces faced off on May 13-16. Lt. Gen. William J. Hardees’s Corp held the center of Johnston’s line. The fighting was extremely hot in the sector of Major General Patrick Cleburne’s division within Hardees’s Corp. Though losses became extremely heavy on both sides, the outnumbered Johnston had to retreat again after three days of combat. The First Arkansas Infantry, which belonged to the celebrated division of Gen. Patrick Cleburne, contained Arkansas County’s two premier companies, the DeWitt Guards and the Crockett Rifles, now consolidated. Pvt. John E. Best of DeWitt was shot in the left knee during the action. James Harkrider, a former overseer while employed by Mr. Matthew Trice of Casscoe, was similarly wounded but required amputation above the knee. Both men survived the war. In Arkansas Missouri Gen. J. O. Shelby was preparing to move his command into the White River valley behind Federal Gen. Steele’s lines. His multi-purpose mission was to gather and organize recruits and destroy predatory bands. The harassment and disruption of river navigation was a high priority too. The threat to Steele’s White River supply line would serve to keep him off balance, not unlike during recent Camden Expedition days. Steele’s Arkansas River line extended from Fort Smith to the Mississippi River with armed garrisons at distant intervals. While Shelby’s scouts were riding in the direction of Dardanelle, a delay in getting ammunition and transportation prevented his departure from Bullock’s Plantation near Arkadelphia until May 9. After passing Malvern the following day, the poor quality of both wagons and mules became painfully evident. Fully one third of the dilapidated vehicles never reached the flooded Arkansas River. That line was finally breached at Dardanelle from May 16-18, using two large boats. (James L. Nichols and Frank Abbott, editors. Reminiscences of Confederate Service by Wiley A.

Early Voting Begins in DeWitt

By Terrye Seamon

May 20, Arkansas County Clerk Melissa Wood could report that, as of Thursday, May 12, only 383 out of 9,959 registered voters had voted in the primary election so far, which is only 3.85 percent of the total vote. Wood said that there has been a little bit of confusion this year about the election. “People need to realize that it is a primary election, so there is a Democrat ballot, a Republican ballot and a nonpartisan ballot,” said Wood. “There are certain races on certain ballots. Not everyone is going to be on every ballot. If the candidates filed as a Democrat, they will be on the Democratic ballot. If they filed as a Republican, they will be on the Republican ballot,” Wood said. She explained that since voters’ are not registered to vote along party lines, they will be asked to select which party’s primary they want to vote in when they report to the polls to cast their ballot. All candidates for local positions and all candidates for Arkansas County Judge have filed as Democrats and are therefore listed on the Democratic primary ballot. Wood said there are sample ballots available for voters to review before they decide which primary they want to vote in. Poll worker Shirley Fread said that there are several reasons why people choose to vote early instead of waiting until Election Day. People may be going out of town or just want to get it over with. “It’s more convenient for some people,” Fread said. Fread also instructed that registered voters need to bring some kind of photo identification with them such as a driver’s license, an identification badge from their place of employment, a concealed weapon permit or a passport when they report to the courthouse or polling location on Election Day to vote. Something that will make the voting process easier is the electronic poll books that replace the black cumbersome registration books poll workers would have to flip through before voters could head to the voting machines. In addition to it being easier and faster for poll workers and voters alike, Wood said, “It is connected to the Internet and therefore all of the tablets sync together, so all the current information is being shared between all of the poll books.” Wood explained that the electronic books upload all voter data from all the polling locations which helps prevent someone from voting both in Stuttgart and DeWitt. For skeptics of the new system who may question the privacy of their votes, Wood said that the voters have no need to worry. “It’s not how they voted that’s uploaded, just the fact that they voted,” Wood said. This is the second year that grant money from the Voting System Grant Fund has been used to purchase electronic poll books for the county. With the approximate $26,000 received from the grant over the past two years, enough electronic poll books have been purchased for all of the polling locations. “That is a yearly grant that we are going to apply for and hope to keep up with the latest electronic equipment,” Wood said. Although early and absentee voting is being done at the courthouse, the Election Commission changed the polling location this year for Election Day on May 20. Residents of DeWitt Ward 1, DeWitt Ward 2, DeWitt Ward 3, Lagrue, Point Deluce, Bayou Meto, Brewer, and Garland will all vote at the DeWitt Community Center instead of the Arkansas County Fairgrounds. Early voting will continue until May 19 with polls open from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday. Early voting will end at 5:00 p.m. on May 19. Election Day will be Tuesday, May 20, with polls open from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.

It’s a right guaranteed to every American citizen by the U.S. Constitution – voting. Although some take this right for granted, others have turned out early to express their support at the polls at the Arkansas County Courthouse in DeWitt.

LOCAL NEWS Judge Sonny Cox Declares May as Arkansas County Recycling Month

DeWitt Nursing Home kicked off National Nursing Home Week, on Monday, May 12th, with Mayor Ralph Relyea signing a proclamation declaring May 12-18th as National Nursing Home Week. Several residents and staff were present for the signing. After the proclamation signing, the action moved outside for a Balloon release . We are looking forward to a week of exciting events culminating in a Luau on Friday. This year’s theme is “Living the Aloha Spirit.” To Hawaiians, the word “aloha” has a deeper significance than just a fond farewell. By living the aloha spirit, we show others love and respect and joyfully share

life in order to create a better world. Key attributes of the “aloha spirit” include patience, kindness and good feelings, and respect in caring about others. Embracing Aloha-Centeredness will cast a warm glow throughout our Nursing Home and the community. Other events this week include : Donuts and Coffee on Tuesday at 10 a.m.; with $1 Bingo at 2 p.m.; Wednesday: Chocolate Fountain at 2 p.m.; Thursday: movie at 10 AM and Outside Activities at 2 p.m.; and on Friday: the LUAU at 2 p.m.. We invite family and friends to come out and participate in any and all these events.

By Shelly Faulkner Arkansas County Judge Sonny Cox signed a proclamation Friday May 9 declaring May as “Arkansas County Recycling Month”. Those present for the signing

included Mayor Ralph Relyea, Administrative Assistant Ruby Allen, and Director of Public Works Bill Paxton. Recycling has grown from infancy to full

blown over the last two years alone. Recycling saves landfills and taxpayers money. All plastics, glass, paper, and aluminum do not have to be separated anymore. Sales

of all metal go back into the recycling program. There are recycling centers in both DeWitt and Stuttgart.

FAITH & RELIGION

A Thought By Michael P. Daniel “How can we live in harmony? First we need to know we are all madly in love with the same God.” St. Thomas Aquinas The “greatest commandment”, as affirmed by Jesus Himself, is “to love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength” (Deuteronomy 6:5). We know this, of course, and we have no problem with it … until we are forced to define what it means to “love the Lord our God”. Like so many other words that have been reduced to cheap “church speak”, throwing such a word about so casually and carelessly often renders the word meaningless. That we “love” Mexican food or that we “love” the new car we just bought does not do such a profound word justice. And it actually is that using the word so carelessly is not unlike casually tossing “God” about in public. We often do not stop to consider what we are conveying – and that some words require the utmost in reverence and respect and must not be used so thoughtlessly. It is written in Ecclesiastes 5:2, “Do not be rash with your mouth, and let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven and you on earth; therefore let your words be few.” We are taught by this, of course, that careless use of words and careless speech will often do more harm than good. “Telling it like it is” more often means “telling it like we see it” – and then we are not known for “loving” the Lord; we are better known as jerks. Let us begin this day with the foundation of our being and the greatest of all commandments; being so “madly in love” with the Lord that we give of all we have and of all we are. I think, then, we will begin to see others in a whole new light – IF we are willing to “love” the Lord first. Blessings, Michael

Eating the Easter Lamb By Pastor Steve Ellison Jesus was wildly popular after the miraculous feeding of the crowd which included five thousand men plus women and children. However, that popularity was short-lived because immediately Jesus began to share some hard truth. He connected the John 6 feeding miracle with the Old Testament miraculous feeding of manna in order to proclaim that He is the Bread of Life and that He came down out of heaven. This was a difficult truth for them to understand and believe. Jesus followed that up with an even more mysterious and difficult truth. John 6:53-58 states, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. 54 “He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. 55 “For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. 56 “He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. 57 “As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also will live because of Me. 58 “This is the bread which came down out of heaven; not as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live forever.” (NASU) Exodus 12 lays out the requirements for eating the Passover/Easter Lamb. This Lamb must be carefully selected. It cannot be just any old lamb. It has to be an unblemished male in the prime of life. Jesus fit those qualifications. Exodus 12:2 says that the lamb is to be selected four days before the Passover. The Triumphal Entry of Christ on Palm Sunday into Jerusalem riding on the donkey fits this description. An obvious fact, which we must not overlook, is that the Lamb had to be killed. The Cross serves as an unforgettable reminder that Christ fits this basic requirement for being the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Exodus 12:8 states that the Passover/Easter Lamb must be eaten with bitter herbs. No lost person can come to Christ without first repenting of sin that is the result of a godly sorrow. No unbeliever can move from unbelief to belief without having first eaten this bitter herb. The bitter remembrance of bondage to sin renders our experience with Christ that much sweeter. Exodus 12:10 states that this Lamb must be completely consumed. I cannot hold with teaching that an unbeliever takes Jesus in stages, first as Savior and later as Lord, etc. Salvation is a Person. The Person of Christ cannot be divided; that is a ludicrous thought. The Lamb must be completely eaten at once. The Lamb of God is Savior, Lord, King, Prophet, Priest, etc. and it is not possible to divide Him. The unbeliever who comes to saving faith in Christ, takes Christ and His Cross, Christ and His Yoke, Christ and His Crown, all at once. Exodus 12:10 says that the Lamb must be eaten before morning, i.e. before you go to sleep. In the Bible, sleep often serves as a synonym for death. This marvelous offer of salvation by putting your faith in Christ is a wonderful offer indeed. However, it is a limited time offer. It does include an expiration date. Today is the day of salvation. Tomorrow is not the day of salvation. With every rejection or delay, your heart becomes harder and you may not be able to receive. You may die today. Christ may return today. The occurrence of any of these means the offer is no longer valid. One day every person will see Christ face-to-face as Lord, but not everyone will see Him as Savior. Now is the day of decision not then. Procrastination is a decision against Him. …..…..pastorsteve8800@gmail.com

WEEKLY SERMON

The Miracle That Brings Repentence By William Wood Zechariah 12:10 “They shall look upon me Whom they have Pierced.” The Holy and tender emotion that makes men mourn for their sins, comes from a Divine operation by God on their heart. It is not possible for fallen man to renew his own heart! Can the forged steel turn itself as soft as wax? Can the Granite make itself as soft as clay? No! And only He that created the Heavens and the Earth can reform the spirit of man within him! The Power to make the Rock of our fallen nature want to repent and serve God does not lie in the rock itself. The power for such a drastic change lies in the Super natural spirit of God. When He deals with the human heart and confused mind, only then are we made to be Soft and Pliable. Job 23:16 Job said “God maketh my heart soft.” The Holy Spirit comes and makes us like wax. We might as well take a hardened piece of steel, and try to fit it into another mold, as to try and change a human heart without the Holy Spirits Work! But we try and fail, and try again! Some glorious day, Perhaps we who would see souls brought into the kingdom, will learn to wait for The Lord to finish His work in them. It is then that the wax can be remolded, but never while it remains like steel. We have heard it said, by those Seeking God, that “The Spirit left me.” But this is to deny Scripture, that says, “I will never leave you, nor Forsake you.” It is we who, for whatever reason, let our minds wander, and we left The Spirit of God! True mourning for sin comes as we have been shown that the God who created the universe, came down and died for 6 hours in our

DeWitt Era-Enterprise P.O. Box 678 • 140 Court Square DeWitt, AR 72042 870-946-3933 www.dewitt-ee.com

place on the Cross, so that we might be forgiven and saved out of our filth. Mourning for sin comes as the eye sees Jesus dying on the cross, for sins He did not commit, and we see that our sins slew Him! When we see Him “lifted up (on the cross) all men will be drawn to Him.” Isa 45:22 “Look unto me and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth.” When we see Jesus, and the Perfect life He lived on earth, then our own sins will be revealed to us, and we mourn. It is not seeing Jesus as God only that affects our sinful heart, but it is seeing Him as a man like we are, being crucified. We see a man suffering indescribable torture, and agreeing to it, so that by His agony we might be forgiven of filth. This man was all Glory and Power, yet He died! He, who alone was immortal, yet He died! He was all love and tenderness, yet He died! Perfect goodness was hanged on a tree, and He died! He, who was found “in fashion as a man,” while He remained God in spirit, He died! God dwelt among us, but man would have none of Him! And so he went about his hideous crime, and so for as far as he could go, he killed God! They pierced Him with a spear. By this action man showed what he would do with his creator. Man, in his fallen state, would be glad if there were no God! Ps. 14:1 “The fool has said in his heart there is no God.” At the cross we saw what man would do to God of he could get his hands on Him! How then, shall such anyone be converted, except by Pure Grace flowing out from the slain one? Amen

Glenda Allen Retiring

Powell Receives Trackchair

By Shelly Faulkner Mrs. Glenda Allen, the financial aid advisor of Phillips Community College in DeWitt, is retiring after 15 years of service. Allen started out working part time, and made her way to full time. She has also served on state committees. Glenda has been married to her husband, Carl, for 47 years. The two have one son, Jacky and wife Peggy, one daughter, Leslie, and two grandchildren, Carmon and Jackson.

By Shelly Faulkner

Most people get out of bed in the morning expecting their work day to be the same as every other work day. But on September 30 2004, everything changed for Joseph Powell. He went to work that morning looking forward to starting his vacation at 11:00, but at 10:00 an auger stopped up. Joseph climbed inside to unstop the machine when it came unclogged, restarted, and resulted in the loss of both legs. Joseph has always been an avid hunter and fisherman. While fishing at the river one day, Larry Senn, watched a man make several trips up and down steep embankment getting fishing gear ready. Larry and Joseph visited while fishing that day, and after returning home Larry couldn’t stop think-

Boy Scouts Donate Flag to DeWitt Middle School By Terrye Seamon Boy Scout Troop 81 exhibited patriotism this week by donating a new American flag to DeWitt Middle School. They hosted a flag ceremony Wednesday afternoon where the old flag was retired and a new flag was raised in its place. DMS eighth-grade color guards Dalton Frost and Allex Rhodes, who are also Troop 81 Boy Scouts, noticed that the current flag in use was in bad shape and needed to be replaced. Frost proposed the idea of donating a new American flag to his fellow Boy Scout members at the last meeting, and Troop 81 voted unanimously to support Frost’s proposal. “I was really happy at the meeting that it was a unanimous vote,” Frost said. During a flag ceremony Wednesday afternoon, stu-

dents observed while Frost, Rhodes, and sixth-grade Boy Scout Lee Punchard retired the old flag and replaced it with the new one. Eighth-grader Cadence Rutherford was on hand to play “Taps” on her trumpet to commemorate the event. Frost informed the students in attendance that the old flag would be taken back to the Boy Scouts and officially disposed of properly in a flag-burning ceremony. Frost said that around holidays such as Memorial Day and Veterans’ Day, the Boy Scouts hang American flags around the Square and DeWitt in the name of businesses who donate $30. “Community service plays a major role in the Boy Scouts of America, and this [donating the flag to DMS] seemed like a scout-like thing to do,” Frost said.

COMMUNITY NEWS

State Capitol Week in Review From Senator Jonathan Dismang Arkansas citizens who go to the polls on May 20 to vote in the preferential primary elections must present a government-issued photo ID in order to get a ballot. People who vote early between now and election day will also have to show a photo ID. The May 20 primary will be the first statewide election in Arkansas conducted under the provisions of Act 595 of 2013, which requires voters to present an identification card with a photograph. Soon after the legislature approved the law in the 2013 regular session, it became entangled in litigation. In the past several weeks there have been court rulings in two separate cases, at the lower court and the Supreme Court level. Although the final outcome of the photo ID law is still to be determined, the courts have made it clear that voters

in the May 20 primaries must comply with the requirements of Act 595. Acceptable forms of photo ID include a driver’s license, a passport, a student ID issued by an accredited college or university in Arkansas, a permit to carry a concealed handgun, a military identification document or a public assistance identification card. Act 595 provides for free voter identification cards, issued through local county clerks’ offices. To get a free voter ID card from the county clerk, a person would have to swear under oath that he or she does not have any proof of identity. Residents of residential care and long term care facilities do not have to show a photo ID, but they do have to show documentation from the facility administrator that they are residents. There are two separate legal challenges to the act. Both were filed in a Pulas-

ki Circuit Court, and in once case the state Supreme Court issued a partial stay of the lower court ruling. The result is that election officials will enforce the requirements of Act 595. There may be developments between now and May 20 concerning how election officials are to handle absentee ballots. Act 595 requires voters to submit a copy of their photo ID when they vote absentee. Because of the legal challenges there is a lot of confusion and disagreement about procedures for handling absentee ballots that are submitted without a valid photo ID. Act 595 was one of the more controversial bills of the 2013 legislative session. The governor vetoed it but the legislature overrode his veto. Revenue Report For the first 10 months of the current fiscal year, state government’s net general revenue has been slightly above

the same period of the previous year. It was 0.5 percent above last year and 1.9 percent above forecasts. The fiscal year ends on June 30. The legislature budgets very conservatively and in the recent past has ended each fiscal year with a large surplus, which can be used for one-time projects and emergencies. For example, during the special session last fall the legislature dedicated some of the surplus to the public school health insurance fund, in order to hold down sharp increases in premiums. Increases in state revenue are reliable indicators of the health of the Arkansas economy because tax rates have not been increased. In fact, the legislature enacted $85 million a year in tax cuts that will take effect in the fiscal year that begins July 1.

Helen Spence Memorial Placed

A tree hugger memorial was placed Saturday on the cedar tree planted where Helen Spence was buried at the St. Charles Cemetery. An informal group including the author of the book Daughter of the White River, Denise Parkinson attended along with the maker of the tree hugger memorial Ann Mayle of Hot Springs. Mayle donated the tree hugger after reading an article about Spence. Others in attendance included L.C. Brown, Johnny Carver, Jim Brown and Shirley Mitchell. The stainless steel marker reads: “Beloved Daughter of the White River, Helen Spence, Gone but not forgotten”.

Press Release from the Office of the County Clerk for Arkansas County Due to the uncertainty of the application of Judge Piazza’s ruling concerning same sex marriages to the counties and Clerks not named as defendants in the litigation, which includes Arkansas County, following consultation with legal counsel, I have determined that at the present time applications for same sex marriage licenses will not be accepted in the office of the County Clerk for Arkansas County. I will continue to review the status of the litigation, the appeal filed by the State and consult with legal counsel. If changes are warranted in this position in the future, I will implement such changes without delay and will advise the public immediately. Melissa Wood Arkansas County Clerk

Arkansas Delegation Announces Over $3 Million for Arkansas Airports

U.S. Senators Mark Pryor and John Boozman, along with Congressmen Rick Crawford (AR-1) and Steve Womack (AR-3) today announced that thirteen Arkansas airports will receive over $3 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation for facility upgrades and improvements. “Airports play a critical role in sustaining our state’s businesses and local economies,” Pryor said. “These funds will help us ensure that Arkansas airports are able to continue providing safe and efficient service to Arkansas residents and businesses alike.” “Infrastructure is vital to Arkansas’s long-term growth. These local airports are valuable assets for our rural communities and transportation is key to expanding economic opportunities in these areas,” Boozman said. “Arkansas’s airports and our transportation infrastructure are vital to the growth of our state and local economies, and I welcome these grants, which will allow continued economic expansion in our state,” said Womack. This funding is supported by the FY14 omnibus appropriations bill, which was signed into law in January. The airports receiving funding are as follows: •Berryville: Carroll County Airport will receive $54,000 to rehabilitate the existing runway pavement. •Brinkley: Brinkley will receive $235,169 for the construction of a portion of an access road and chain-link security fencing at Frank Federer Memorial Airport. •Carlisle: Carlisle Municipal Airport will receive $135,000 to install a new taxiway lighting system. This project will help enhance safe airfield operations during low visibility conditions. • Corning: Corning Municipal Airport will receive $49,950 to rehabilitate its apron pavement and fund the design phase of the project. •De Witt: De Witt Municipal Airport will receive $45,180 to expand the apron for additional aircraft parking. •El Dorado: South Arkansas Regional at Goodwin Field will receive $598,929 to expand the terminal apron, which will provide additional aircraft parking. •Fayetteville: Drake Field Airport will receive $31,770 to rehabilitate its apron. This project is needed to maintain the structural integrity of the pavement. •Flippin: Marion County Regional Airport will receive $314,100 to rehabilitate the existing apron pavement,
