And now for a Merry New
Year.

If the price of eggs had only
been higher, there might be
fewer headaches.
If Santa Claus fulfilled the
numerous requests made of him
through the columns of this
paper he must be a generous old
soul.
Knocking the city out of $4,500 ,
a year on a miserable force at re
form is not likely to increase the
voting strength of the prohi
' bitionists.

Good resolutions are now in \
order. Don’t make too many, as ]
practice is a harsh chairman of «
our proceedings and often rules £
them out. (

The prohibitionists are placing (
the principles for which they £
contend in a bad light by involv- ,
ing the court’s decision upon a (
technicality, hich affects but a ,
portion of the city and accom- j
plishes no real reform.

‘ aeffie old boy” is never satis
fied with the reports of disinter
ested witnesses. If the people
of Arkansas will put “hero
worship” aside and weigh the
testimony upon its "merits, they
must condemn the brutal assault
of Davis upon his opponent
Wood, while the latter’s arms
were pinioned by an accomplice,
Bourland.
_ •
The city has lost $4,500 by
knocking saloons out in one ward |
and no reform has been accom
plished. The property owners of
one ward are discriminated
against in favor of those of
another. If the prohibition forces
haye shown any consistency or
judgment in securing such a de
cision of the courts, the average
.citizen is too much of a numb
skull to observe it. ^
CHRISTMAS DANCE
AT THE HAZEL.
]
Mr. and Mrs. H. Bernstein’s ,
hospitality in the Christmas
dance given at the Hazel Friday
night draws from society the j
most pronounced approval. The
large private dining room held
enough beauty and color to have
given life to a dozen dances.
Punch flowed freely during the
evening and delightful refresh
ments of turkey and ham sand
wiches, nut salad, olives, salted
peanuts and hot coffee were
served.

Wynne Paper Advises (governor %
Davis to Stop Slanderous Re- |
marks About the Arkan
sas Senator. (
Gov. Davis says he/ will prove
that Senator Berry lost his leg in
a saw mill accident^. If Jeff be
gins the policy of glanderous lies!
about Berry that he has about
his other opponents he may be
short a few legs himself. Sena
tor Berry is dear to the heart of,
every Arkansan who is a true I
Southerner and they will not
stand by and hear the old gray- j
haired veteran slandered by a
malicious liar without resenting I
the action. He has been with us |
too long and has done too much11
for us to be the mark for Jeff «
Davis’ nasty spleen in his old * i
age. Davis can talk about Wood t
j as much as he pleases so long as 5
the judge doesn’t knock him in j*
the head, but when our crippled; |
old senator is brought into it j1
there may be trouble. There are §
still a few old Southern w arriors 1
left yet.—Wynne Blade-Ex- |

“A GAMBLER’S DAUGHTER.” |
The scenery used in the pro
duction of the sensational melo
drama, “A Gambler’s Daughter”
which is to be at this theatre
soon, presents some wonderfully
realistic stage pictures of a num
ber of famous places which form
a part of the history of this coun
try, and which people have heard
about and never seen. In the
second act is a vivid production
of the Chicago Board of Trade.
It is a day of panic on change,
and fortunes are quickly being
made and lost. In the center of i
the frenzied exciting throng of:
brokers around the wheat pit,
stands the gambler referred to
in the title of the play. He has
in hand a tremendous wheat deal
,..LI in Vv/\m<T n n ci Vi /I onfl
foiled by some unknown operator
who is dealing through another
broker. The place is a veritable
bedlam in its turmoil. The
gambler (he is termed a gambler
because he secretly owns a mag
nificently fitted up Michigan
avenue gaming house and not
because he is a member of the
Board of Trade) sees his own
j plans going to ruin and his
j private fortune dwindling away
minute by minute. He is is. an
, almost crazed condition to» lfearn
the apparently giant hand who> is
working against him. He does
not know until later that it is his
own daughter, who has familiar
ized herself with Board of Trade
methods and is frightening him
to save him from being success- i
f ul in accomplishing his dishonest
I designs.
This is said to be one of the
most wildly exciting and intense
( ly dramatic scenes the stage j
has known in many years. It
| fairly lifts the audience off its:
j feet. At Newport opera house
Tuesday evening, December 29.
