Has become a household word with every mother- c.
synonym for Clothing that “Stands the Racket” and looks
well while it is doing it. And no wonder. If you take
all-wool materials, put them together firmly and well, stay
and re-enforce the suits wherever the wear and tear on
them is the hardest, you are bound to get Clothing that
will make a boy work hard to wear out. That’s our Boys’
, Clothing. And it’s as notable for style and price as for
wear. School days are here and our Boys’ Clothing brings
good cheer. Let us fit out the “Chap” and make him

TWO FAST TRAINS -r - V m
FOR THE IRON MOUTt/aIN.
Rumors Are Flying in Little Rock of
Two New Fast Trains to Be
Added to Passenger
Service.
It is rumored that a new train will
shortly be added to the Iron Mountain
main line service, which will give a
train north out of Little Rock about
noon and one south about 6 p. m.,
says the Little Rock Gazette.
The rumor has been current on the
platform at the Union station for sev
eral days, and it is understood that
the plans for the train are now well
under way and that it will be added
Sunday, October 4. The new train, it
is said, will be a fast train, running
solid from St. Louis to El Paso, Texas.
It will leave St. Louis every morning
at 8 o’clock, and pass through New
port at 3:30 p. m., reaching Taxarkana
about midnight, or shortly after.
There it will take the Texas and Pa
cific tracks and, with a change of en
gines and crews, run solid to El Paso.
On the return trip the train will
reach Texarkana at about 8 a. m. and
Newport at 3:30 p. m., reaching St.
Louis at midnight.
It is stated that the train will be a
fast limited, somewhat on the order of
the Sunset Limited of the Southern
Pacific, with which it will enter into
competition. It will be strictly a fast
train and the running time between
St. Louis and Texarkana will be cut
much less than the present fast
trains’ schedules.
One rumor was that the fast mail
now leaving St. Louis at 3:06 a. m.
would be taken off and replaced by
the new fast train, running five hours
later each way.
If the Hot Springs special is added
November 1 the Iron Mountain will
have five fast trains each way daily
between Newport and St. Louis.
WHIST CLUB’S FIRST MEETING.
The exodus of society folk to an
hundred and one different summer re
sorts and watering places to escape
the heated season of an inland South
ern town brought a lull in club life
which has held sway for several
months, but the return home of many
erstwhile absent ones has ushered in
what now promises to be quite a run
of social entertainments.
The first meeting for the fall season
of the Fortnightly Whist club was
held Wednesday with Mrs. Gus Mar
tin and there were three tables of
players present, who found an added
interest in the game by reason of a
long vacation from its pleasures.
The refreshments of cream, cake,
olives and coffee were delicious and
enjoyed by all.
Those present were Mesdames Gus
tave Jones, Narcie Minor, B. B. Bond,
J. P. Berman, O. D. Watson, C. R.
Hite, L. Minor, W. A. Billingsley,
Misses Ray and Lucy Brandenburg,
Lula Empie and Mary Laird.
BOLL WEEVILS IN
WOODRUFF COUNTY.
Augusta, Sept. 16.—Much alarm is
felt here over the discovery in Barnes
township of this (Woodruff) county
of boll weevils, which, it is feared, are
of the same kind as that now devas
tating the cotton crop in Texas.
Your correspondent here was in
formed today by Newt Vanlanding
ham that the genuine boll weevil had
made its appearance in his cotton
fields and those of his neighbors.
Some of the weevils will be sent to the
board of trade in Little Rock, the cot
ton exchange in Memphis and the
state’s department of agriculture in
order to ascertain whether the weevil
is the Mexican weevil which is so
much feared byjfarmers.
JUDGMENT AGAINST DAVIS
SECURED BY BERRY.
W. C. Berry of Newport Tuesday
afternoon secured judgment in Jus
tice W. F. Blackwood’s court against
,Gov. Jeff Davis for $52.93 on a prom
issory note. The governor did not
appear in person, but was represent
ed by Attorney F. M. Fulk, while the
plaintiff was represented by W. L.
Greer, the collector. The note was
one of three given May 5, 1902, by the
governor for the first year’s premium
on a life insurance policy of $3,000,
for which Berry, an insurance agent,
wrote him. Davis paid two of the
notes and refused to pay the other,
and suit was brought to recover.—Lit

MURPHY WAS THERE,
GOVERNOR WAS NOT.
Gov. Jeff Davis and Attorney Gen
eral George W. Murphy did not speak
from the same platform in Jackson
ville Wednesday. The governor did
not appear there and Col. Murphy,
who went to Jacksonville Wednesday
morning, refrained from delivering a
speech.
Shortly before 9 o’clock that morn
ing Iron Mountain train No. 5, south
bound, whizzed through Jacksonville
three hours late and running forty
miles an hour. One of tlje passengers
was Gov. Davis, who was returning
from Mountain Home, where hespok#
Monday. It was expected by many
that the train would slow up so that
the governor could alight and proceed
to fill his'engagement to address the
people, according to bis published list
of appointments. It was stated that
some one about the station saw a
piece of paper or cardboard fly from
the passing train, and on picking it up
ound that it contained a message in
dicating that the train could not Btop
at Jacksonville, hence the governor
would have to forego the pleasure of
speaking in the town at that time.
