TORN TO PIECES.
Felix Matthews, 8 Years Old,
Met Death by Being Caught
Between Wagon Bed and
Wheel at Pine Bluff.
Pine Bluff, Oct. 28. — Felix
Matthews, the 8-year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Matthews,
was accidentally killed this aft
ernoon, just in front of his fa
ther’s house, and the agonized
mother saw the accident, being
powerless to render help. Felix
Matthews and another small boy,
named Ray, were riding on a big
wood wagon. When the wagon
reached Natthews’ house Felix
attempted to get off, and in slid
ing down caught his foot in one
of the big wheels. The driver
did not notice the boy, and he
was dragged over the wheel by
the foot, while his body was
caught by the wagon bed.
The left leg was pulled entirely
from the body and broken just
below the hip. The boy was tak
en to his home, but lived only a
few hours. His mother drove
up just in time to see her son
torn to pieces on the wheel.
WOMAN’S CLUB MEETING.
The Woman’s club held the
second meeting of the year at
Mrs. R. M. Johnson’s Thursday
afternoon, and though a number
of ladies who were on the pro
gram were necessarily absent,
the subjects assigned them were
of such interest, that those pres
ent were sufficiently informed
regarding them to enjoy a gen
eral interchange of ideas, and
the program as arranged for the
afternoon varied but little from
the original plan.
Though at present traveling on
the coast, Mrs. Chas. Wilmans
prepared and sent to be read a
splendid paper on “Political
France at the Time of Accession
of the Bourbons.” This was fol
lowed by a discussion of Henry
of Navarre and the social con
ditions of this period. The stand
ards and national songs of France
gave each member present an
opportunity to bring forth some
scrap of treasured information.
There was no one present whc
I could or would venture to give ar
example of their music, and st
Mrs. R. T. Robertson was led t(
set forth the claim of Our Owr
Mother Goose as not only one o:
the most cherished associations
of childhood, but an inspiratioi
for every emotion of the heart
as well. Choosing certain o
litflo rVivmps shp r>rn
5 ceeded in beautiful and poeth
; phrases to illustrate that in then
1 was either comedy, tragedy
f philosophy, wisdom, religion o
i romance. Her’s was the crown
s ing effort of the afternoon, am
3! that neither the wit nor the wis
t dom of the world perished wit
1 the French dynasty, has bee
-1 clearly demonstrated at these tw
, meetings of the woman’s club.

RESIDENCE ROBBED
> BY BOLD BURGLAF
i- -
The home of F. S. Gullette, o
e Laurel street, was entered o
) i Friday night by a burglar, wh
evidently thought Mr. Gullette
carried his store change to his
home each night.
A screen was removed in a
window that had been left up for
ventilation, it being a sleeping
room, but no one was awakened
by the intruder.
The [clothes of Mr. Gullette
and h:s son Frank were rifled
and their pocket change, which
amounted to about $6 for the
two, was taken, but their watches
were left undisturbed. After
completing his work the burglar
left via the front door and the
family were none the wiser until
next morning.
PECK’S^BAD BOY.
Coming, the funniest troupe of
fun makers on the road, in that
famous old farce comedy Peck’s

Pauline Seldon will act the part
of the bad boy, the part for

Willis as Schultz can keep a
Dutch grocery better than ever.
Besides all this there is vaude
ville galore. The Bartletts’ mu
sical act is rich, while the Grier
son sisters in their unique sing
ing and dancing specialties are
the best on the road. Don’t fail
to see it.
