l IN SOCIETY, j
BEAUTIFUL SOCIETY EVENT.
>. One of the most delightful as
well as unique entertainments of
the past several weeks, was the
event of Friday afternoon, when
Mrs. Will McMullen entertained
in honor of Mrs. Charles P.
Martin, a popular bride of a few
weeks, who has made many
friends in this city since making
Newport her home.
The pretty home was tastefully
arranged for the entertainment
of the guests, a guessing contest
being one of the pleasant feat
ures of the afternoon and af
forded much amusement to all.
A musical program followed,
each number receiving h.arty
applause from the guests pres
ent.
A nappy conclusion to mis de
lightful occasion was the serving
of tempting refreshments of ice
cream, cake with whipped cream,
coffee and olives.
\ A beautiful bunch of carna
tions, which had graced the
library table during the after
noon, was unanimously voted to
the fair honoree, who responded
in a few chosen words.
Mrs. Martin was beautifully
dressed in pink crepe-de-chine,
en princesse style with lace
trimmings.
Those present were Mesdames

BABE’S BODY POUND.
Remains of Little Girl Who Was Lost in
Snow Storm found Near Her Home
By Searchers.
Gravette, Feb. 2.— Lying be
i side a little mound within fifty
| yards of her home at Maysville,
and with her dolls clutched in
: her arms, the body of 3-year-old
Annie Woods, for whom a posse
of 100 men had searched more
than a week, was found yester
day.
i The child wandered away from
her home during a snow-storm
almost two weeks ago. All
kinds of rumors were started as
to the cause of her absence.
Some believed that she had been
devoured by wild animals, others
that she had been kidnaped.
So deep was the sympathy felt
for the mother, who became
hysterical from grief and worry,
that a posse was organized at
i Maysville and fully 100 men be
<ran a search which had lasted
every day until the tiny torm
was discovered. Last Sunday
fully 500 men took part in the
' hunt.
All hope of ever finding the
! child had been given up when a
! Cherokee Indian named Hilde
oranoi siumDiea over me uouy.
It was lying within 50 yards of
I the Woods home.
looks Favorable For Remmel.
i The Washington Star recog
nized as an administration organ,
discus-lag the Arkansas marshal
! ship says: “Asbury S. Fowler,
i United States marshal for :he
1 eastern district of Arkansas,
leaded to see the president this
I morning. Mr. Fowler came on
i a “fence-building ’ expedition.
His term as marshal will t xpire
on May 8 g^-xt and he is being
opposed for renomination by H.
L. Remmel, chairman of the Re
publican State Committee of Ar
kansas. Mr. Remmel, who lives
in Little Rock, wants to be mar
shall himself, and as he is one of
the strongest republicans in the
state. Marshal Fowler is some
what uneasy over the outcome.
Mr. Remmel called at the White
House a week ago in connection
with some other appointments,
but it is known that he ‘made
hay while the sun was shining. ’
As things look now Remmel is
pretty sure to land the proposi
ton, although it is stated at the
White House that the matter is
still ‘unsettled.’ ”
New Candidate for Sheriff.
The Independent is authorized
to announce Mr. James R. Davis
of Auvergne as a candidate for
sheriff of this county. He en-;
joys a most excellent reputation
with all who know him and is
deservedly popular.
Born and raised in Jackson
county, he is a substantial and
progressive citizen, a good neigh-;
bor and friend and would fill j
with credit to himself and his
county the office to which he as
pires. He has always been a
democrat; his character has al
ways been above suspicion; he
enjoys the confidence and esteem
of a wide circle of people over
the coupty and he will doubtless
make a strong candidate.
Cotton Gin Fire Alarm.
The fire department was called
out Saturday afternoon about
1:30 to the gin of the Southern
Cotton Oil Company on the iake.
The blaze was only a small one
however and was extinguished
before any serious loss resulted.

COTTON PI ANT SHOOTING.
Colored Festival Ends in Gunning Affray
in Which Four Negroes are Shot -
Revolvers and Knives Used.
Cotton Plant, Feb. 2.— In a
shooting affray at a colored fes
tival which was being held four
miles west of here one negro
i was shot dead and three others
were seriously wounded.
The victims are Wash Mayo,
Jr., who was killed, and Arm
i stead Hunt, Frank Adams and
Daisy Mays, who were wounded.
No details of the shooting have
been obtained as yet. It is
known that Mayo got into a
quarrel with another negro. His
antagonist drew a revolver and
began firing. Then several
other men at the dance joined in
the fight. Revolvers and knives
were drawn on all sides. Several
men and women who were
slashed fled without waiting to
have their wounds, which were
slight, dressed by a physician.
Mayor Grubbs’ Successor.
Mayor J. W. Grubbs has tend
ered his resignation to the city
council as mayor of the city of
Newport, effective February 5,
, — n i n r» n f w> r\ v» 4" n ci
postmaster.
While Mayor Grubbs was first
elected to that office by the coun
cil, and was commissioned by the
governor, there has always been
a question as to whether such an
appointment should not come
from the governor.
Acting on this interpretation
of the law, Governor Davis, it is
1 understood was asked to name
Mr. Charles Wilmans as Grubbs’
successor to fill ~he vacancy un- j
til the April election. However, j
it seems the governor had his
hands too full just now to mix up
in Newport municipal politics,
much is he might wish to, and
refused the appointment.
The friends of Alderman Wil
mans are said to have secured
the promise of two of his fellow j
councilmen for his election as
mayor, but to elect one of the j
aldermen, it will take a unani- i
mous vote upon the part of the j
other three. There is also a
well grounded report that
three of the councilmen have
agreed upon an outsider for the
vacancy.
Pending an election, Recorder
J. R. Mayhan will become acting
mavor.
Prisoners to the Pen.
Sheriff H. S. Simmons left
Saturday for Little Rock with
five prisoners for the state peni
tentiary convicted and sentenced
at the present term of court.
Edward Smith, white, is sent j
up for one year and the other
four are negroes. They are Hen
ry Cunningham, 2 year sentence.
Charles Payton, 2 years, Ollie
Berry and Ike Harris, each four
years. _ _
“Nothing But Real Happy Thoughts.”
See the favorites, Gordon &
Gilbert in their latest laughing
vehicle “Hans an’ Nix” and oe
convinced that there is a musical
comedy that is different from'
the myriad that are bidding for
popular favor.
“Hans an’ Nix” tells a laugh
able story in a unique way, em
bellished by a large chorus of
pretty girls. The cast numbers
as leaders, the inimitable Gordon
& Gilbert, who have the happy
distinction of being titled the
“Creators of the Laughing Hab

The book was written by Ker-1

ficient guarantee that what has
been written is pretty, catchy,
tuneful and well worth hearing,
and, in this instance, worth
hearing twice; for these gentle
men have achieved a notable
success.
Hans Dinkelspeile which is1
played by Mr. Gordon is an ar- j
rant boaster, who feels that he
is necessary to the existence of
the place and the inhabitants
thereof. Just how necessary he |
really is, is explained during the i
three acts.
Nix Rinkenspeile is a serious
man played by Mr. Gilbert, on i
an important mission, from his j
own point of view. However,;
his seriousness is put to route by 1
a pretty face and a coquettish
air. There is something for
everybody to do every moment |
of the play; and everybody is;
necessary to the completion of!
the story and the pictures. The ;
entire cast has been selected
with the view of individual fit- j
ness and collective strength. The |
management have spared neither
time, money or labor, in the per
fecting of the comedy, and it is i
safe to say that seven tenths of
those who come to see the piece
once, come again, the other three
tenths do not dare trust them
selves again in the same week.
