COL. HOUSE LOCKS
HORNS WITH EVANS
Joint Debate Between Colonel
House and Judge Evans On
Gubernatorial Issue.
•-—
Ozark, Ark., Feb. 16.—Over
1800 voters were here today to
| hear the joint discussion between
Judge J. H. Evans and Col. J.
; W. House of Little Rock. Judge
I Evans spoke first, and said he
I was for Governor Davis because
. he was an anti-trust leader and
endorsed the Democratic plat
form. He referred to letters that
had passed between him and
Gov. Davis and about their being
at outs. Col. House could use
them to any advantage he saw
fit. He charged Col. House with
voting for Powell Clayton for
United States senator and not
voting for Governor Davis in the
general election. He referred to
the third term, and spoke of
county officers running for third
term and about the supporters of
James K. Jones voting for him
four times for United States
senator.
CoL House was received amid
loud applause when he took the
stand. He said he did not come
here to dictate to any one, but to
| advocate the election of Judge
Wood. He paid a high tribute
to the judges of the supreme
court, and said they were all
men of high character and in
tegrity, and he had never heard
of the supreme court’s decisions
being drug into a campaign be
fore.
He explained to the audience
why he voted for Powell Clayton
for United States senator and
denied that he had any love for
him. He said he had always
voted the Democratic ticket, but
was away for his health during
the last election, and that was
the reason he didn’t vote for
Gov. Davis, but he had always
contributed to the Democratic
campaign fund.
He discussed for some time the
governor’s pardon record, the
brick contract and about Gov.
Davis trying to get the legisla
ture to revoke the contract.
BOOK CLUB’S
ANNUAL DRAWING.
The Twentieth Century Book
club met at the home of Mrs. L.
Hirsch Monday afternoon, where
a very entertaining program of j
music, recitation and reading:
was listened to by not only the
club members, but quite a party
of invited guests, for to each j
member had been accorded the
privilege of inviting one outsider.
A very clever idea had been
followed out in the selection of
souvenirs, which consisted of
blue ribbon book marks, upon
which was printed the program
of the meeting in letters of gilt.
The program is given below
and lack of time, upon which
score we apologize for this be
lated notice, compels us to limit
mention of the several numbers
to the reading of Mrs. J. B.
Hirsch of Little Rock. Her sub
ject was “As Others See Us,”
and gave what impressions exist
among other nations of Uncle
Sam. The paper had been pre
pared for a Little Rock club, and
has been the recipient of much
deservedly cc mplimentary men
tion.
Refreshments of chocolate and
champagne wafers were served.

EUCHRE CLUB
ENTERTAINED.
Society has well earned the'
rest of the Lenten season by rea
son of the social activity of the
last few weeks preceding the
forty days set apart for absti
nence from social pleasures and
it seems that as Ash Wednesday’s
approach grew nearer the num
ber of pretty social events multi
plied until that period imme
diately preceding Lent has be
come a season of festivities.
Among the several entertain
ments which distinguished the
week and will serve as pleasant
memories during the quietude of
Lent was that of Mr. and Mrs.
E. L. Maris in receiving the Eu
chre club on Tuesday evening.
The host and hostess were most
cordial in their manifestations of
hospitality and contrived to make
the evening a most enjoyable one
to all. They were assisted in
their duties by Misses Ray and
Lucy Brandenburg.
There were eight tables at
euchre, the highest scores being
made by Messrs. George Hill
house and George Anderson and
Mrs. W. W. McMinn. The two
first named cut for the gentle
man’s prize, a pretty stein, Mr.
Hillhouse proving the lucky or e
and to Mrs. McMinn was awarded
a neat taborette.
A luncheon of deviled crabs,
chicken salad, hot rolls, peas,
pickles, coffee and salted nuts
was nicely served and heartily
relished by the guests.
Those present were: Messrs,
and Mesdames A. G. Anderson,
George Hillhouse, J. L. Jones, T.

WALTER KEMPNER BOCOCK.
T~» T\ T-» TTT«n • • .
iujv. iv. u. wans writes aj
friend in this city that upon his
return to Searcy Tuesday he re
ceived the sad news of the death
of his wife’s brother, Mr. Walter
Kempner Bocock in Philadelphia.
The deceased had suffered an
attack of the grippe and gone to
the hospital a few days before,
but the news of his death was
sudden and unexpected.
In the language of Mr. Willis
“he was a man of unusual at-:
tainments, of very ripe scholar
ship, one of the most unselfish
and spotless children of Christ I
have ever known. ” He was an
Episcopal minister and editor of
the “Church Standard.”
Those bowed in grief have the
sympathy of many Newport
friends.
PEARL FOUND" IN OYSTER.
Hot Springs, Feb. 16.—R. A. j
Bayles, a well known local capi
talist, is very much elated over j
an unusual find yesterday in a!
pint of fresh oysters which he I
bought down town and took j
home. In preparing the oysters
Miss Bayles noticed a large stone
which gave a brilliant lustre in
the rough. Mr. Bayles upon ex
amining the stone discovered it
to be a pearl of unusual size and
took it to a local jeweler, who
offered him $100 for it. Instead
of accepting the offer he is hav
ing it set as a present to his wife.
