day Afternoon.
Mesdames 0. S. Lawrence and
I. W. Stephens entertained with
* ■ a linen shower Tuesday after
noon at the beautiful home of
the former on Hazel street in
honor of Miss Elizabeth Caldwell
Watson, a lovely compliment to
the fair bride-to-be, whose popu
larity was well attested in the
number of handsome pieces of
linen of which she was the re
cipient at this happy pre-nuptial
event.
The Lawrence home is elegant
ly furnished, but even its beauty
was enhanced by seasonal deco
rations, the large reception hall
being done in bright hued holly,
with here and there vases of car
nations and Mareschal Neill
roses.
The dining room had not been
neglected by the tasteful decora
tor, for in the center, a table of
snowy linen presented a most
inviting scene. A vase of yellow7
roses graced the center and from
its base to the chandelier ran red
ribbons and to the four corners

PREPARING TO
REOPEN MILL.
Mammoth Spring, Nov. 28. —
H. L. Harriman of Boston, presi
dent of the new cotton mill re
cently organized at Fall River
under the name of the South
western Cotton Mills Company,
was in Mammoth Spring today
arranging for the installing of
the new machinery in the plant
here, which will be shipped from
Lowell next month.
ft The Southwestern mills have
absorbed the plant of the Steele
mills of Mammoth Spring and
will be run exclusively as a yarn
mill. The company is composed
of cotton mill men of Rocking
ham, N. C., and a number of the
stockholders of the Southwestern
mill company are also stockhold
ers in a Taunton, Mass., mill.
Several large capitalists of Mem
phis are also stockholders in this
mill.
The capacity of the mill at
first will be 11,500 spindles, but
will be increased in a short time
to 18,000 spindles. The manage
i ment expects the entire plant to
be in operation not later than
I April 1 next. A large number
| of the prominent business men
i of Mammoth Spring took stock
in the new mill. The capital
stock, $100,000, is all paid up.
OUTLET TO SPRINGFIELD.

River Route for Chief City

1 Information from Springfield,
Mo., states that Chief Engineer
H. Rohwer of the Missouri-Pa
jcific-Iron Mountain, with head
quarters at St. Louis, has arrived
i lUCiU VY1UU n OWi » Vj mg, v^xxv*
that the construction gangs of
the company will arrive in a few
days to begin work on the road
from that city to connect with
the White River road, which is
now nearing completion.
This is a matter which has long;
held fire for one reason or an-'
other and the fact that the fran-1
chise under which the road was1
to have been constructed expires;
December 6 is supposed to have
spurred the company to extra
effort to begin the work before
that time. There is little reason
to doubt that the work will be
pushed to an early completion.

FOREST FIRES HAVE
PROVEN BENEFICIAL.
Will Improve General Health of
Section By Destroying De
caying Vegetation.
I _
’ “North Arkansas is having the
first general forest fires since
1887,” says H. L. Floyd of Law
rence county, who was in Little
Rock Tuesday, says the Gazette.
“There is an old saying that
every cloud has its silver lining,
and that it’s an ill wind that
blows good to none. It is true
that the forest fires have proved
destructive and that many farm
ers have lost much fencing, and
in some instances outbuildings.
It is figured, however, that the
country will be better off after
all for the reason that the flames
in the woods have destroyed a
vast amount of decayed vegeta
tion, the accumulation of seven
teen years. The result of this
will be helpful to the health of
; humanity.
i “Simultaneously, the fire has
destroyed insects without num
ber and ‘smoked out’ wolves and
panthers so that these ‘varmints’
can be killed and their scalps
made a source of profit. One of
the most serious phases of the
long dry spell, the underlying
cause of the forest fires, has been
the scarcity of stock water. It
was feared that this would event
ually result in the loss of much
live stock; but there is water
enough in the country. The
trouble and inconvenience of get
ting the stock to the water or the
water to the stock furnish the
cause of actual complaint.”
SHERIFF SUES FOR $15,000.
Papers Filed Monday at Bates
ville in Heavy Damage Suit
Against the Little Rock
Democrat.
Sheriff J. A. Kaneaster of In
dependence county was here
Tuesday and informed the Inde
pendent reporter that he had filed
suit in Batesville Monday against
L. A. Watson and the Arkansas
Democrat Company of Little
Rock for $15,000 as damages for
the publication of the article in
Saturday's issue, claiming Crosby
was dea<? when hung.
Dr. Kennerly of Batesville says
that he did not tell Watson, the
correspondent who wrote the
article, that Crosby would die
within an hour, and Sheriff
T7n«Aootm* qqvc Vip wnnlH BPVPr
have consented to the hanging
of a dead man,
The papers were served upon
Watson in Batesville, hence the
suit will come up in the Indepen
dence circuit court. As the sheriff
is the plaintiff in the suit the
case will probably be sent on a
change of venue to some other
county in the district, and it
would probably fall to Jackson.
Watson, it seems, was traveling
for a whisky house and repre
senting Eastern papers when
converted here at the street
meeting of Charles Crittenton.
He joined the evangelist and at
Batesville visited Crosby at the
jail. Just how he came to be
corresponding for the Democrat
is not known.
