SEEKS “PERTECTION”
FROM THE STATE.
jf _
Attorney General G. W. Mur
phy has received a letter from
an irate citizen of Hot Spring
county, says the Arkansas Ga
zette, who claims to have been
badly treated by the authorities
of Garland county and demands
“pertection” from the state. In
explaining his troubles the writer j
states that he sent his 17-year
old brother to a resident of Gar
land county after a cow that his <
mother had given to him. The
man in possession of the bovine,
" v he alleges, ‘ ‘landed on thee Boy
with a Bare of Iron about 30
Inches Long, hit him several
Times across The head and Face
the Boy Ran and managed to
make acape.”
Further; he says, the man,
“after the Boy got out of Arim
Reach grabed his gun and woud
have killed him if it had not Ben
Fer his wife I etching the gun he
Reflecte! Bodley eangery upon
the Boy that will Last him a
Life Time by Stracking him
across the Face and head with
that Bar of iron cutting him to
the Bone on April 15, 1903.”
The writer states that the
prosecuting attorney “ishued” a
warrant for the arrest of his
brother’s assailant “for strack
ing a Minor air with In tent to
kill without Provication, ” but
that the accused settled the case
with the officers. He also says
he laid the case before the grand
jury and that the foreman told
him they were all in favor of
“In Diting” the accused, but
that the prosecuting attorney
“Dis Mist” it. “Therefore,” he
concludes, “I ask the State For
Perfection Before any Further
Perseding Takes Place.”

Misses Lettie and Elvie McLain,
two of Newport’s most charm

taken.
The guests and members de

DOCTOR KELLETT
IN COURT.
Doctor A. Kellett, formerly of
Smithville, Sharp county, who
recently located here in the prac
tice of medicine, was arraigned
before Justice L. B. Harris
Thursday afternoon, charged
with not having license to prac

The trial developed that the
defendant had been admitted to
practice by the state board, but

county, showing this to be the
case and as required by law,
file same with the clerk of this j
county. For this offense he was

SOUTHERN BALL. |
Decidedly the most pleasant
social function during the sum
mer was on Thursday evening
when Mr. and Mrs. T. D. Kin
man threw open their hospitable
country home in Oil Trough bot
tom to about seventy-five guests.
This home, which is admirably
suited to the entertainment of
large numbers such as gathered
there Thursday evening, was
filled to overflowing. The lawn
which surrounds this old fash
ioned Southern home was so
brilliantly illuminated with dif
ferent colored Chinese lanterns
it could be seen half a mile away.
Under the large trees a tarpau
lin was stretched, where the light
fantastic was danced by the old
as well as the young, for a mer
rier party never gathered under
the boughs of these old forest
trees.
In the rear yard long tables
were placed, upon which were
served at 1 o’clock in the morn
ing barbecued meats, corn and
light bread, salads, pickles and
coffee.
The reception committee con
sisted of Mr. and Mrs. T. D.
Kinman, senior and junior, F.
W. Dillard and wife, Mesdames
L. B. Young, Narcie Minor, and
Miss Noreene Kinman, all of
whom spent their entire time in
seeing their guests were enjoy
ing every moment of the night
in this hospitable home.
Mr. and Mrs. Kinman, Jr.,
were unbounded in their hospi
tality, and all present are loud
in their praise of this unique
social event.

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE.
I
I
The sale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassable quality, the founda*
| tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect
I piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
of a second. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reached the goal,
Kimball is Prominent.
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the cultivated human voice. An
imperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all do not
claim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of other of the
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
from any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a very moderate price, quality considered
The Kimball System and easy payment plan brings it within reach of all.
