I Arkansas Senate Passes Anti
I Cigarette Bill.—Senator Lo
■ gan a Strong Advocate.
.Little Rock, Feb. 8.— By a vote
oi 21 to 11 the senate this morn
ing passed the Pinnix bill pro
hibiting the sale of cigarettes in
the state. Strong men from each
side'of the body contended for
its passage while eqaaj^*good
men fought it. _
It was transmitted to tHejtouse
at once and from there will be
sent to the temperance commit
tete, from which place it will have
a hard time in '
so exclaimed
lower house t<
The bill had a strong advocate
in Senator Logan of Benton. His
argument was one filled with log
ic and went home to the senators.
“I once smoked cigarettes. I
want to say to you that the tor
ment of the damned is upon those
who are conquering the habit. I
would rather see my children in
the grave than see them cigar
ette fiends,” exclaimed the sena
tor from Benton.

I have very little news to
chronicle, but will make my
feeble attempt and tell what I
know and I suppose what every
one else knows for that matter.
The old town has on her winter
coat and the small boys and the
large ones, too, are enjoying
coasting, though the hill is short.
John P. Jones and Gus Swear
inger built a toboggan and every
one on the hill had coasting
enough to partly satisfy them.
Ed Grant, who has been ill for •
some time with pneumonia, and
who was reported doing nicely
and out of danger a few days
ago, has taken a relapse and is
very ill.
All mills and factories are
closed down; nothing doing
whatever.
The river is frozen over and no
ferrying is going on at this point.
Oh, how we would like to have
a small portion of this ice next
July and August.
The steamer Welcome is har
bored at this place.
A crowd of young ladies and
gents enjoyed a sleigh ride
through the country last Snnday
night. They sang and had a
good time in general, returning
to their homes about 9:30.
Mr. Powers is improving, we
learn. He has had quite a siege
of pneumonia.
Mr. Bob Anderson reports a
good attendance around the stove
at his lodge. Very few tardy
ones have been called up to ex
plain.
The pedestrians on the streets
this morning reminded one of a
good game of tenpins. They
were ’most all down. The writer
was down a few times himself.
No serious injuries have been
reported thus far.
1 will De compelled to close ior
this time and hope at a later date
to be able to write more interest
ing items.
I would like very much to hear
from some of the old correspond
ents; where have they disappear
ed to? Sunny Jim.
AWNING FELL.
Lewisville, Feb. 8.—A wooden
awning, covered with sleet, over
the front of Shiery’s store, fell
this morning, striking Mrs. F.W.
Youmans and crushing her leg
badly. It required the combined
effort of twelve men to remove
the awning, and her escape from
instant death was marvelous.
Mrs. Youmans is the wife of Dr.
Youmans, who is postmaster and
one of the leading republicans of
this section. Her condition is se
rious, and she will be taken to
Texarkana for treatment.
MARRIAGE LICENSES.

Eno, 18", both of Swifton.

PROMINENT MAN DEAD. !
Jasper, Feb. 8. — After an ill
ness of several months Hon.
Joseph B. Moss died at his home
here at 3 o’clock yesterday after
noon. The deceased was one of
the most prominent and pro
gressive business men of the
county. He was a member of
the Arkansas legislature of 1881
and for many years was one of
the Republican leaders of the
3tate. He was also a prominent
Mason.

WANT IT MADE A -FELONY.
Altus, Feb. 8.—A petition to
the legislature signed by a larga
lumber of citizens of Hogan
township, asking that the illegal |
3ale of whisky in the state be ;
made a felony, has been for
warded to Little Rock.
| CATE WITHDRAWS
HIS OPTION BILL.
Heard Rumbling of Oncoming
Storm of Protest and Indig
nation From People and
“Got in the Clear."
A telephone message was re
ceived this afternoon, says the
Jonesboro Sun, announcing that
the gentlemen who left this
! morning to oppose a favorable
recommendation of Jonesboro’s
local option bill, were met by Mr.
Cate, who informed them that
he would withdraw the bill and
do nothing further in the direc
tion it took.
The message was received by
Elmer Stuck and was from Will
Stuck, who was a member of
the delegation who went to op
pose the bill.
Today was set by the legisla
tive temperance committee for
hearing both sides of the ques
tion and a large delegation went
from here this morning to ap
pear before the committee to en
deavor to show them that Jones
boro did not want this law en
acted.
The liquor interests also had
representatives, but it appears
that the matter was decided by
Mr. Cate’s action in withdrawing
the bill. It is said that Mr. Cate
informed the committee that he
would introduce no more local
legislation for Jonesboro.
raid NO. 75.
Last night Policeman Young
searched the tiger back of Bob
Brady’s place and the NewtFisher
place, and secured four and a half
pints from each. The liquor was
hidden away. Before he got the
bottles safely to Chief Turner’s
storage place he fell on the icy
walk and broke one of the bottles.
NEGROES REFUSE
TO BURY DEAD.
Smallpox Epidemic at Cotton
Plant Takes a Turn That
City Council Will Have
to Figure Out.
Cotton Plant, Feb. 8.—Small
pox has broken out among the
negroes here. One died last
night and up till now it has been
impossible to get any of the ne
groes to go to bury him.
The town council will meet to
night to devise plans to bury the
dead and care for the sick, as
well as to institute a strict quar
antine. If the disease gains
headway as cold as it is it will
be almost impossible to stamp it
out.
