“Her Only Sin.”
A very good crowd saw Julia
j Gray, supported by an only toler
! ably fair company in “Her Only
Sin” at the opera house Monday
night. The drama is one of Lin
coln J. Carter’s, but it would
never have won him his reputa
tion. it is supposed to be a re
markable study of human emo
tions and mixes family feelings
up considerably and very natur
ally, as the husband and father
is nothing more than a hopeless
sot, demonized by drink,
j The plot covers the run of a
; lifetime; the baby never shown
walks forth a man and the scenes
j shift often and far enough to
1 prevent monotony.
The star was popular with her
“audience,” but this word is
hardly applicable, for audio
j means to hear and as Julia Gray
■ had a weak voice, there were
manv who didn’t hear sufficient!v
well. Her good looks and dram
atic power covered this fault
and brought her frequent ap
plause.
Her good friend Dora Strong i
and legal adviser Mr. Bond:
furnished the fun. An old maid '
from choice, she was neverthe
less vulnerable and at 61 yielded
in school girl style to the wooing
of her admirer of 64.

MOUNTAIN DIVISION CHANGES.
Missouri Division Extension to Hoxie i
May leave Poplar Bluff Out in Cold
in Matter of Railway Importance.
The announcement of a change
in the passenger divisions on the j
main line of the Iron Mountain
has aroused Poplar Bluff to the
threatened daoger and a mass
meeting of the cit izens has been
called by Mayor R. G. Felts.
As many of the conductors and
trainmen have homes and prop
erty interests in Poplar Bluff,
they look with decided disfavor
upon the probable change. Ac
cording to General Manager
Sullivan’s circular, the Missouri
division is extended from St.
Louis to Hoxie and the Arkansas
division continues from Hoxie to,
Texarkana. Poplar Bluff too has j
a mail crane for the fast No. 7 j
and the crews on this train will
change at Hoxie and the chances
are other trains will soon do
likewise.
These fast trains thundering
through Newport the terminal
of the White River railroad, are |
apt to have some serious acci
dent in the local yards, owing to!
a bad switch, or cow on the j
track, for many frequent the.
Newport yards.
When fast through service
from Newport to Kansas City
over the White River line is ac
complished, stops will undoubt
edly be made by all trains at
hiewport, to accomodate a big
passenger business at the inter
section of two lines of the same
system.
HP© Supreme Court Cases.
A number of cases of interest
to local people were passed upon
by the supreme court in session
at the state capital Monday, a
Drief record of which is given
as follows:
No. 5770. Walter L. Harris
vs. Thos. P. Umstead; appeal
from Jackson Chancery Court.
Passed for three weeks for ap
pellee’s briefs.
No. 5515. Sallie Spott Rankin
vs. Octavia M. Schofield; appeal
from Woodruff Circuit Court.

GOING LIKE
HOT CAKES
The lots in the new town
of Kinta, I. T., are selling '
faster than any new town
opened since the days of
Enid, Pond Creek, Ponca
and a few others.
Many people claim, who
really are in close touch with
the new town and surround
ings, that Kinta will be a
city of from 2,000 to 5,000
in two years or less.
What would that mean to
you should you own one of '
these lots that axe centrally
located, as all flat I am of
' fering are ?
It would mean probably
1,000% to you on the in
vestment. Kinta has fine
agricultural lands, great
coal, gas and oil deposits.
Why shouldn’t it be a great
place? If you have not '
bought, do so now.
