W^ MINSTRELS COMING.
From the present indications
the ensuing theatrical season
will see as many minstrel shows
start out as last season, but we
doubt if there will be any more
at the finish than there were the
season past.
, ' Can you count on the fingers
yof one hand the successful ones?
History only repeats, “Survival
of the fittest” is an old saying,
but a true one.
Richards & Pringle’s famous
Georgia minstrels was one of the
few big ones that came in a
winner. This season they carry
a larger and better company th^n
ever, composed almost entirely
of new people, giving an entire
change of program, with a num
ber of new and novel specialties.
The date of their appearance in
this city is at the opera house
Thursday, August 25.

DECLINE TO MARCH
WITH NEGRO GUARDS.
Arkansas State Fair Board Re
fuses to Unite with Illinois
in Ceremonies at the
Exposition.
Hot Springs, Ark., Aug. 13.—
Arkansas gracefully refuses to
march in line with Illinois ne
groes at the world’s fair—or any
where pise for that matter—so
says the State Fair Board, which
has for its president Mayor Geo.
R. Belding, of this city. It came
about in this manner. Septem
ber 11 has been set apart as Ar
kansas Day at the big fair and
great preparations are under
way to make it one of the great
est days in the history of the
state. On September 12 the
state of Illinois will hold its state
ceremonies at St. Louis, and it
j was suggested by one of the Il
linois board that the two days be
merged into one grand affair, so
to speak, and for a time this
proposition was looked upon with
favor by members of the Arkan
sas Board until it was ascer
tained that negro guardsmen
were to march in line on Illinois
day. That brought about con
i . • • i i i ii. .
sieriiciuuii m nit; laima 01 me
Arkansans, and forthwith it was
voted that Arkansas was great
enough and grand enough to take
care of its own ceremonies, there
fore Arkansans will march in a
: line composed strictly of citizens
of the state, with no negro
guardsmen in the ranks. Illinois
i will have to take care of her own
black soldiers and Arkansas will
see that her big day at the big
exposition is properly observed
by its white citizens and in large
numbers, at thac. The Hot
Springs delegation, composed of
several Pullman cars, will leave
here on the night of September
20 for St. Louis.
