M. C. A. secretary of Hot
Snrintrs will hnvp rhnrtrp nf this
a guide;
jfor the future. The year 1911
jb°s maiked the end of a cotton
: famine, and an era of compara
j tively high prices, and the year
11912 seems likely "to find the
j world supplied with sufficient
cotton to meet its requirements
for the balance of the so-called
cotton year, which ends August
30, 1912.
j It is probable, in fact, that
i this year’s crop is large enough
to supply the demand up to Oc
tober 31, 1912, or two months
after the time at which next
year’s crop shall be available.
This is all that can be expected
from the widely advertised sur
plus of this year’s cotton pro
duction, and when the fact is
stated in this way there would
seem to be but little justification
for any expectation of lower
prices.
In no other important indus
try that I know of is a surplus
the equivalent of two months’
consumption after two years of
famine regarded as a sufficient
justification for panic prices and ,
sales below the cost of produc- •
tion.
The Southern producers of
cotton seem to have come to this
conclusion largely as a result
of the Convention of Governors
of the Cotton States held in New
Orleans in October, and the
thanks of the entire Southern
community, both business men
and farmers, are due to the Fort
Worth “Record” and its editor,
Mr. Clarence Ousley, for their
enterprise in calling and organiz
ing this convention at the oppor
tune moment. Its presentation
of the facts of supply and con
sumption no doubt prevented a
panicky decline in th'e market,
and resulted in a deliberate and
forehanded treatment of the
situation that has enabled the
of her aunt and house guest,
Mrs. Rose Hopkins of Fayette
ville.
The guests were graciously
welcomed by the hostess assist
ed by Mrs. J. W. Stayton and
Miss Mabel Stayton.
The dining room decorations
were specially attractive and at
the_ table tea was poured and
sandwiches served by Mrs.
Robert B. Hooker and Miss Elise
Hooker. During the receiving
hours from three to five, a large
number of guests had the pleas
ure of calling and meeting Mrs.
Hopkins, who is a very cultured
lady.
Swindle—Dowell.
The elegant residence of Mr.
and Mrs. S. C. Dowell was the
scene of one of the most bril
liant home weddings of the sea
son. Thursday evening at 8
o’clock Dr. J. C. Swindle was
united in holy wedlock to Miss
Minnie Dowell, Rev. Father
Strobel officiating.
At the appointed hour the
sweet strains of the wedding
march, deftly played by Miss
Minnie Less, accompanied by
Miss Brooksie Gooch on the vio
an, were Wctneu imuugn me
spacious building.
The bride entered on the arm
of her father, who gave her
away. The bridal party took
their stand in an alcove in the
library, which was decorated in
the color scheme, and the arch
way studded with tri-colored
lights. This is where the magic
words were said which made the
couple man and wife.
The bride, the eldest daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Dowell,
was lovely in white satin lace
with pearl trimmings, Mrs. B.
M. Shipp, maid of honor, was
arrayed in pink. The brides
maids, Misses Ruth and Cecelia
Dowell were gowned in pink and
white bordered messaline and
canned pink killarney bouquets.
The groom and bride-grooms,
Marvin Collier and Carrick
White wore the conventional
black.
The pretty little flower girl,
Margaret Spikes, ring bearer
Walter Dowell, Jr., and ribbon
bearers Clyde Roberts, Rachel
Sexton, Remona Surridge and
Max Hughes were in pure white.
The dining room wore the
Christmas colors. The library,
reception hall and parlor were
decorated in pink and white car
safes

and their contents taken,
states Mr. Fefee, the agent of a
large safe manufacturing con
cern who has just returned to
Little Rock from a tour of the
state in which lie visited a num
ber of banking institutions.
“Why even a good portion of
the banks have safes which
could be opened by an amateur I
cracksman. A little nitro-gly
cerine and the work is done.
I have seen a number of bank
safes which are being used
merely because the insurance |
companies will accept them.j
when the bank people them
selves know the safe is not a
strong one, and that money
'placed in it is liable to be lost at
any time. I do not believe the
yeggmen who have been operat
ing in Arkansas are more than
amateurs for if they were more
man otnerwise, tney wouio
leave little behind.”
Fifth Sunday Visitors Arrive.
Owing to the rather inclem
ent weather, delegates and visi
tors to the Fifth Sunday meet-'
ing of the Baptist church have,
been rather slow in arriving.
Some of the ministers are
here and there will be services
tonight at 7:30 o’clock at the lo
cal church.
Revs. J. S. Rogers of Ouachita
College and E. J. A. McKinney
of Little Rock are also expected
tonight.

ty I stand dumfounded at what
I saw last night on a visit to one
of Newport’s blind tigers, which
goes by the name of cider joint.
Nothing but the old time blind
tiger with a new name. Men ahd
boys get drunk under a new
name “Cider-eye.” Mr. Officer,
what are you doing to stop these
joints? I know one officer who
took a young man in hand right
at tin' very door of one of the
joints and threatened to jail him
while the joint ist ran serenely
on dishing out the spiked cider.
1 have every reason to believe
the said officer had been “put
next" and was only performing
his part of the game to get the
drunken young man out of sight
for it made things look bad for
I he joint ist—things were getting _..
too plain. This young man was
shoved out the back way by one
of the proprietors of the above
mentioned joint and told to stay
out as he was “getting too
drunk in there.”
In the name of common decen
cy why don’t we good citizens of
Newport put an end to all cider
joints? We will have it to do if
it is done for I have asked offi
cials to do it and straightway
they with one accord offer ex
cuses, jf
