SMART SET RECEPTION.
Confederacy Daughters Elegantly En
tertained Thursday Evening at
Home of the Misses Branden
burg.
The climax of the social features
pertaining to the Daughters of the
Confederacy convention and in honor
of the delegates and visitors, was
reached in an elegant reception given
at the home of Misses Ray and Lucy
Brandenburg Thursday evening from
eight to eleven o’clock, by the mem
bers of the Smart Set club. The cause
represented by this gathering of wo
men from over the state is dear to the
hearts of Newport people, who are as
a rule of Southern ancestry and their
loyalty to the memories and principles
of fathers, brothers and husbands,
who served under the stars and bars,
made them eager and enthusiastic to
manifest their sympathy and support
in open hearted hospitality.
The delegates too by their social
charms and beauty, have further en
listed the interest and friendship of
our people, few' of whom failed to
respond to the invitations of this
popular club of young ladies.
The Smart Set, while a new’ organ
ization, are by no means novices in
the art of entertaining and a more
smartly arranged ana perrecuy ex
ecuted function could hardly have
been given. The rooms had been
artistically decorated with flags and
floral offerings and from the arrival of
the guest to the time of departure,
not an instant was allowed to drag.
Misses Ray and Lucy Brandenburg,
Marille Dillard, Claire Johnson, Mabel
Padgett, Roberta Morrison, Mary Laird
Lou Minor, Mesdames J. L. Jones
and T. E. Allen received in the hall
way, the guests being first ushered to
the punch bowl in the library, pre
sided over in a graceful manner by
Mrs. O. E. Jones and Miss Mabel
Stayton, who served a delicate fruit
beverage.
In the dining room, refreshments of
brick cream and cake were nicely
served by members of the club assist
ed by several other ladies. Another
feature that must not be skipped was
the rendition of several vocal selec
tions by Mrs. Q. A. Hillhouse and
Miss Dot Thornburg of Little Rock,
both of whose voices are very popular
here and never fail to elicit generous
compliment.
In bidding the receiving young
ladies goodnight, the visitors express
ed in no uncertain words their enjoy
ment of the occasion and the residents
of Newport through the acquantance
these social gatherings have made
possiole, express regret that the visits
of these new found friends are to be
so brief.
. MAKES QUITE A HIT.
In a lengthy narration of the pro
ceedings of the seventh annual con
vention of the National Association
of Local Fire Insurance Agents, held
at Louisville, Kentucky this week,
the Courier Journal, treating the re
ports made b\- the representatives of
the several states, says:
“The best talk of the afternoon
followed, if enthusiasm by the audi
ence is any indication. The speaker
, was Alcorn Ferguson, of Arkansas.
He said lire insurance was not a side
line feature in his State, as only
straight underwriting was the pro
fession. He spoke of the Resident
Agents’ law passed by the Legislature
of Arkansas, claiming that it was a
God-send, doing good for the agents
and doing the companies good. He
pronounced it a wise measure also for
the State, the treasury of which had
taken in 2,500 extra dollars because of
the act. He brought down the hohse,
however, with the story of the agents
of Arkansas standing together. “To
use the words of another,’' said Mr.
Ferguson, “whether from our highest
hills, on which a Democrat may stand
and shake hands with liis friends in
heaven, or whether from our swamps
so low that Republicans may give a
cooling drink of water to their friends
in hell, we make a long pull, a strong
pull and a pull altogether; hence our
success.”
A delegate proposed three cheers
for the Arkansas Traveler, and they
were given with a tiger.”
BATESVILLE WILL CELEBRATE.
Batesville, Oct. 23. Steps are being
taken by our people looking to a cele
bration of the completion of lock and
dam No. 1 at Batesville, tlie first of a
series of ten projected by the engi
neers between here and Buffalo City,
100 miles above here. This makes an
era in our material progress and de
velopment, that deserves ’ more than
passing notice. The lock at this
point was completed in-4900 and iock
No. 2, eight miles above, was com
pleted last year. The darn at No. 1
is now just completed and it does all
that was planned by the engineers,
raising the water here about 15 feet
and giving slack-water navigation
from hero to lock No. 2 of about 2 1-2
feet at the minimum.
The dam at No. 2 will be put in this
season and it will be the largest dam
of the series, about twice the length
of the one here.
These locks and dams will not only
give perennial navigation into the
greatest mining district of the coun
try and one of the most productive
fruit and stock countries, but it will
furnish nathral and cheap competition
to the railroads now penetrating that
section and will make it one of the
greatest productive centers of the
Southwest.
