“HIGH
ART.”
f'-JDrHghted ; _>
THE accompanying picture was
taken from life and is a true
representation of our exclusively
fashioned Two and Three Button
Double Breasted Sack. This garment
has that extremely custom tailored
air. Only the purchaser can know
that this could possioly be a ready
made suit. The shoulders are broad
and jauntily shaped, full roll lapel has
liberal button space giving an appear
ance of wide expanse to the chest.
Either the Two or Three Button Style
is proper.

rpHE illustration is but one of the

garment. Custom made productions
at double its price can only equal this
High Art Insured Hopkins Sack. The
Shoulders are broad and distinctive in
set. The waist tapers in enough to
appease the most exacting stvle
f judges, with a suggestion of a flare at
I the bottom of the coat. The trousers
are the new wide peg-top sort and
every vital part is hand worked.

SALARY.LEGISLATION SURE.
Little Rock, Nov. 16.—One of the
most important questions and one
that will probably command more
time than any other one subject be
fore the next legislature will be the
proposition to place the members on
a salary, as nrovided bv the constitu
tional amendment passed at the Iasi
election. There will be a variety ol
views on the subject. Hon. J. H. Kee
of Jackson county, who is in the city
says that he will be in favor of plac
ing the members on a salary of $1,00(
a term. When the manner of paying
it was mentioned he s lid that h(
thought it would be a good plan t(
put them on a salary like members o
congress and pay them $83.33 ever}
two months for the two years foi
j which they are elected, and let tin
i sessions be as long as they might wish
This would answer the obj jction tha
a member might serve through out
term, draw his full pay and then re
sign. It would not, however, answei
the objection of the member wh<
wantffTiiore than $46.66 a month t<
pay his current expenses while hi
was actually on duty as a lawmaker
| Mr. Keel does not think that any on<
i would resign, and that they might b<
! a little economical and save up some
thing to carry them through the ses
sion. He even suggests that the timi
might come when our statesmei
would consent, through patriotic mo
tives, to serve the State as legislator
without money and without price, a
do the members of the house of com
mons. He thinks, however, that tha
j time is some time in the future.

COLLIDE AT BEEBE.
Early Saturday evening, the engine
of a freight collided with its own train
on the grade north of Beebe, the
tender telescoping a box car. Need
ing water, the engineer cut off the
train at the’top of the hill and ran
down to Beebe, where a tank is locat
ed.
The brakes were not on and the
train began running down hill with no
signal lights, when the returning en
gine, also without lights, crashed into
the moving mass. No. 12 was delayed
five hours as a result and the conduc
tor and engineer on the freight were
discharged by wire.
DANCE AT AUGUSTA.
The dance at the hall Tuesday night
given by Cris Berry in honor of Miss
l Laird a charming young lady of New
port, who is visiting Mrs. John L
1 Conner, was a pronounced success.
Music was furnished bytheMcNeely
, orchestra and devotees at the Terpsi
chorean shrine were never furnished
. with a more delightful entertainment.
At about 12:30 the merry crowd de
parted for their respective homes all
avowing that it was the most enjoy
able event of the kind it had ever been
their pleasure to attend. Augusta

THAT LITTLE “IF.” ’ [M
An Arkansas local soliloquizes thus:
“Some of our exchanges are publish
ing as a curious item a statement to
the effect that a horse in Iowa pulled
the plug out of the bunghole of a bar
rel for the purpose of slaking his
thirst.” We fail to see anything ex
traordinary' in the occurence. Now,
if the horse had pulled the barrel out
of the bunghole and slaked bis thirst
with the plug, or if the barrel had
pulled the bunghole out of the plag
and slaked its thirst with the horse,
or if the plug had pulled the horse out
of the barrel and slaked its thirst with
the bunghole, or if the plug had pulled
the thirst out of the horse and slaked
the plug with the barrel, or if the
barrel had pulled the horse out of the
bunghole and plugged its thirst with
the slake, it might have been worth
while to make some fun over.—
