SHARP COUNTY
WANTS ROCK ISLAND.
Judge John B. McCaleb of Evening
Shade, Sharp county, was in Little
Rock Wednesday says the Gazette.
He is attending the grand lodge.
Judge McCaleb is one of the most ex
perienced judges in the state. He has
just retired from the bench of the
Sixteenth judicial circuit, after hold
ing the position for ten or eleven
consecutive years. He was persist
ently urged to run in the last election,
but declined. “I believe some young
er man ought to be given a chance,”
said Judge McCaleb. “Rotation in
office should be observed. I have
been considering the advisability of
retiring for several years. I do not
intend to retire from public life en
tirely, though I am not at present a
candidate for any position.”
Judge McCaleb says that the people
of Sharp county are eagerly waiting
for developments in the proposed
Rock Island Railroad from Jackson
port, near Newport. This will give
them a connection, by running north
west through Arkansas beyond West
Plains, Mo., to the Kansas City, Fort
Scott and Memphis, with the Missouri
branches of the system. They will
then be able to make a direct run
through Arkansas to the south. The
ultimate construction of the road is
deemed a certainty. The surveying
parties came directly through Evening
Shade. There were two of these.
v/uc oioi iiou *k wui up in iuinouun auu
the other from Jacksonport. They
met just this side of the Missouri line.
It means a great development for our
section when the railroad is built, and
naturally the farmers, merchants,
business men—in fact, everybody—
are anxiously awaiting any develop
ments that may come.”

A SURPRISE WEDDING'.
In the year that is almost ended,
there have been so many elaborate
church weddings to occupy the atten
tion and conversation of Newport
society that a bit of variety and a
break in the sameness must surely be
welcomed in the news of a’surprise
wedding, which took place Wednes
day evening.
The parties to the affair were Mr.
Anthony T. Hubly and Miss Johnnie
Lindley of this city, who stole a march
on all but a few of their friends and at
8:30 o’clock that evening repaired to
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Bailey,
where they were quietly married in
the presence of a few friends and the
family, by Rev. L. H. Richardson, who
said a very sweet and impressive
service.
The newly wed went that evening
to the home of Mr and Mrs. E. D.
Bracy, where they have begun house
keeping. The g#oom came here two
years ago from his home in Chats
worth, Illinois, first as stenographer
at the Pond & Decker Lumber Com
pany and later assumed the manage
ment of the laundry for Mr. Decker.
Just recently, he purchased a half
interest in the establishment of E. D.
Bracy. He has proven himself an
energetic and responsible young busi
ness man of ability and has made
many friends during his short stay
here, who will join with the Inde
pendent in congratulating him upon
paving won so lovable and sweet dis
positioned a young lady for his help
meet in life. We hope that life’s
choicest blessings may be showered
richly upon their wedded life.

THE PRESIDENT’S BEAR'HUNT. '
Ft. Smith Times:
The difference between American
and European ideas of sportsman
ship has been strikingly illustrated tbe fj
past week. In France the king of 1
Portugal and in England the Emperor
of Germany has been the central figure
of a hunt. In both instances the
“game” was half-tamed pheasants
artificially reared and preserved in
parks. The attendants rig themselves
out in masquerade costumes of velvet
and lace and ostrich plumes and tbe
sportsmen stand in the open while
the game is flushed by tbe hundreds
by the keepers. Thus the emperor
slaughtered hundreds of birds while
three men were kept busy loading his
several guns, and similar scenes were
enacted for the benefit of the Portu
guese king.
Compare this enervated form of
“sport” with the bear hunt of Presi
dent Roosevelt. He goes into the
Mississippi swamps where the cane is
so thick and tangled that no one can
penetrate it except on horseback and
then, as an experienced hunter des
cribes it, one is lucky if his clothes
hold together when he comes out of
it. Compare also the nature of the
game, a half tamed pheasant in a
beautifully kept park and a black bear
that will fight man or dog when
brought to bay, and that a quick eye,
a steady hand, courage and self-pos-'
session are required, not only to bag
the game but to avoid personal in
J — J -
And yet European trade centers
wonder why America is forging to the
front and European diplomatic cen
ters vainly protest against the increase
of American influence in world affairs.
The sports of a people indicate their
national characteristics.
