LEGISLATIVE NOTES.
Little Rock, Jan. 22.—The most im
portant event in the house this morn
ing was the naming by Speaker Moore
of the various standing committees
for the session. Much interest and
speculation had been aroused in the
matter, and the reading of the lists
was listened to with the closest at
tention. The appointments were gen
erally well received, and on all sides
Judge Moore was the recipient of
congratulations on the excellent
make-up of the committees.
The house is rapidly making a repu
tation for itself because of the good
amount of business it seems able to
transact, and this morning was no ex
ception. A great batch of bills was
introduced, and a number was read a
second time, while several were up
for third reading and passed. This
afternoon the good work will be kept
un, and tonight the members will
liste 1 to an address from J. A. Holmes
of Washington on the subject of good
roads.
There were only four new’ bills in
troduced in the senate this morning.
The negotionable instrument law,
which seeks to change the commercial
law of the state, was read a second
time.
Mr. Wilson introduced a bill to
amend section 1S49 of Sandels & Hill’s
Digest, making it unlawful for any
officer of the state to use or loan any
funds belonging to the state in his
possession, or to refuse to turn the
same over to his successors in office.
Mr. Hinkle, who was once sheriff of
Independence county, desires to
amend the law with reference to the
transportation of convicts so that the
financial agent of the penitentiary
shall pay the expenses of the sheriffs.
Mr. Simpson wants to prohibit per
sons from signing fictitious names to
orders for intoxicating liquors.
The senate killed the bill introduced
some time ago by Mr. Simpson (No.
57), which sought to give wheelwrights
and blacksmiths a lien on the produc
tions of their labor.
Among the bills introduced in the
house was one by Mr. Parks against
poolrooms and bucket shops; one by
Mr. Kerwin prohibiting employment
of child labor in factories-; one by Mr.
Holland making superintendent of
penitentiary elective by the people,
and one by Mr. Winn requiring rail
roads to employ white porters on
passenger trains.
TO THE POINT.
A municipality is never better than
the people want it to be.
Misery loves company and usually
has no trouble finding it.
Baking powder would not make
some men rise in the world.
“All the world’s a stage,” and too
many supes endeavor to play leads.
The joy of giving is increased by the
necessity of working for what is given.
Some men hitch their wagons to
stars and then throw their weight
against the brakes.
There are a lot of people who never
give with either hand for fear the
other will find it out.
The young man who succeeds is the
young man who is willing to earn
more tnan ne receives.
The man who declares that “money
will do anything” is the man who will
do anything for money.
We are too prone to advertise our
friends’ virtues in small type and their
faults on the billboards.
The kind words some men have
carved on their tombstones would
have made their lives brighter.
People who read the Bible as a mat
ter of duty miss most of the good
things in the greatest of books.
The man who declares that the
world owes him a living always finds
out when it is too late that the world
is an awfully slow liquidator of its
debts.
The boy who is tied to his mother’s
apron strings may not go as far as the
boy who is not, but he usually lands
safely.
It is a foolish man that throws him
self in the way of temptation for the
purpose of ascertaining if he is able
to resist it.
The cheapest thing in the world is
the good will of the little ones, and
nothing pays better dividends than an
! investment of this kind.—The Com
| moner.

THE NEWSPAPER MAN.
The newspaper man is an animal
that is quite common in the South
west, where he is used by the citizens
as beasts of burden.
He has two eyes, two ears, generally
one nose, one mouth and one wife.
His legs, which are two, are very
useful to him when danger threatens.
They are fastened to the lower end of
his body, and in most cases extend all
the way down to the ground, where
they flattten out like two gigantic
corn dodgers.
Sometimes a newspaper man has
real hair on his head and well nigh
human ears often hang on in a life
like manner. This has now and then
caused somebody to mistake him for a
real human being, but this mistake is
rare, seldom occurring to each news
paper man more than once during a
lifetime.
The newspaper man is generally
conceded to be the most docile of all
domestic animals. Now and then one
finds a hooker in the herd, but when
taken young and properly managed
they can nearly all be tamed. After
he is tamed he will do anything to
please his master. He works day and
night. He gets into the habit of
working all the time. He tries to
boom the town. The people don’t ap
preciate it, but he doesn’t expect them
to.
All he wants to get out of life, and
all he expects to get, are his vituals
and health.
He goes into the newspaper habit,
.1 11- • 1 U! L l. 1,IY> nA in
auu tUJ O LUIUIL) UVU V/1JIW iw* -W
hard to overcome.
We have known a great many news
paper men who took up the habit
early and followed it until they—
starved.
Day after day and night after night
the newspaper man goes on with his
habit of work; while his neighbors are
resting from the noon heat he is at
work; while the town loafer sits on
the porch and spins his yarn, he is at
work, and when the town is wrapped
in slumber, the light can be seen
burning away through his window,
and you know he is at work.
He lives for others. When you are
distressed, it is the newspaper man
who is ready to offer you a word of
encouragement.
He sympathizes with humanity.
When you laugh, he laughs, when you
cry, he is sorry; when your wife pre
sents you with a bouncing baby boy
he joyfully puts it in print; when the
bride goes out from the parental roof
to live in a home of her
own. he records the date of her hapoy
marriage and speaks a good word
that will be cherished by her children
in after years; and when death enters
your home and lays low one of your
fairest flowers he it iB who stands by
the open grave with heavy heart and
tearful eye feeling your anguish from
the great depth of his soul.—Melson
Record.
LICENSE GRANTED.
Jonesborro, Jan. 22—On the seventh
day of October, 1902, there was a peti
tion filed in the Craighead county court
before Judge J. F. Rains, praying that
license for the sale of liquor be not
granted by the court, and there being
objections made to the petition by
people who wanted license the case
was continued and trial set for Jan
uary 5, 1903, Bince which date the
matter has been before the court in a
long drawn trial. It was finally
settled yesterday by the prohibi
tionists withdrawing their petition.
The legal battle was fought with all
the determination and force that
could be commanded by both sides.
The taking of evidence was finished
Tuesday noon and court was adjourn
ed until yesterday morning to give
the attorneys time to clear the deck
for the arguments in the case, but
when court opened Hon. J. D. Block,
who represented the prohibitionists,
arose and stated that they would
withdraw the petition, which virtually
conceded their defeat and ended the
case.
There were five saloon licenses
granted today, two or three of which
are now open and doing business,
having prepared everything before
the case was ended.
The fight has been a bitter one and
all classes are glad it has ended.
SHORT ORDER LUNCHES.
Mrs. H. Bernstein has decided upon
an innovation at the Hotel Hazel and j
will keep the dining room open from
two to five and from eight to
twelve o’clock p. m. for short order
lunches. This step was made for the
convenience of the traveling public,
but will be made a permanent feature
of the hotel, if proper encouragement
and support is given by the town
