R. T. Simmons and Mrs. Ben

Wednesday, being called to the
bedside of the latter’s husband
who was not so well that day,
but Thursday’s reports were
more encouraging.
Dr. L. E. Willis returned from
Little Rock Thursday morning
where he had been called to see
Ben Simmons, who was thought
to be much worse. While still a
very sick man his many friends
hope for his recovery.
Mrs. Mattie Moore left Thurs
day afternoon for her home in
New Mexico, after a two weeks’
visit to relatives in this city.
She was accompanied on her re

Novella Jackson, who will make

Miss Dorothy Grey, the ac
complished leading woman of
“A Human Slave” Company,
which under the direction of
Eugene Spofford wrill be pre
sented at the opera house, Fri
day, February 23, is considered
one of the most beautiful and
.alented actresses of the day.
As Mildred Stockton in ‘‘A Hu
man Slave,” Miss Grey has a
role, which fits her like a glove.
At one moment she is all tender
ness, and the next moment she
is the brave, defiant woman,
facing starvation and her arch
enemy with a courage that is
born of the knowledge that she
loves her husband, Dick Ather
ton, and is confident that she is
struggling to maintain a princi
ple. The character is a splendid
leading role. In one scene of
the play Mildred faces a horde
of striking iron workers. She
has been grossly insulted, almost
turned out of her home by their
employer, but even while de
nouncing him, she preserves the
dignity of womanhood and the
refinement of the lady born.

Why do you carry insurance oi^^J

But listen. Mr. Business Man! J
Suppose you knew the money 1

was going into insolvent^ compa

STEWART RELEASED FROM JAIL.
his Confinement at Batesville for Boot
legging Caused Continuance
of Starnes Case.
W. G. Stewart, of Oil Trough,
who has been in jail at this place
for some time on the charge of
selling liquor in violation of the
prohibition law, says the Bates
vill Guard, was released from
custody Tuesday night, and left
for his home, having executed
bond for his appearance.
The fact that Stewart was in
jail at that place was the
cause of the murder case of
Henry Starnes being continued
at the recent term of the Jack
son court, as he was the princi
pal witness for the defense.
Starnes killed Bernard Pate in
Jackson county in ’anuary 1905.
The two men engaged in a fight,
in which Starnes cut Pate on the
arm, inflicting a wound from
which death resulted later.
