JAPANESE EUCHRE.
Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Stainback
entertained the Evening Euchre
club Tuesday evening, which was
one of the largest and most en
joyable meetings in the history
of this club, and will add to
the laurels of Mr. and Mrs.
Stainback, who are among the
society favorites of this city.
This delightful affair .was given
at the Hazel, whose popularity
as a place for large entertain
ments is well known, as some of
the season’s most delightful so
cial events have been given in
its spacious parlors.
The large double parlors were
elaborately decorated with Jap
anese lanterns suspended from
the ceiling, and with their red
and white lights, together with
the handsome costumes worn by
the ladies and full dress by the
gentlemen, made a beautiful
sight to behold.
There were nine tables filled
with enthusiastic players of eu
chre and over each table was
hung a large Japanese umbrella,
and from this was suspended the
tally cards. The head table was
placed in the arch between the
double parlors and a huge Japan
ese gong at this table sounded
the closing of the different games.
Misses Mabel Stayton and No
reene Kinman, who were dressed
as little Japanese girls, kept
score for the players and when
the games were ended and scores
counted it was found that Mrs.
W. W. McMinn had made the
highest score and was given six
beautiful cherry lace doilies,
while Mr. B. B. Bond was award
ed the gentleman’s prize, a watch
fob. The guests' prizes were
won by Miss Roberta Morrison
and Mr. W. T. Dunn, a Japanese
picture and a beautiful gold scarf
pin, respectively.
At the conclusion of the games
the best of the feast was yet to
come, for all were invited to the
dining room where a regular
feast had been prepared by that
incomparable hostess, Mrs. H.
Bernstein.
In this room the tables had
been made into one long one, and
presented quite a banquet-like
scene, and here again the Jap
anese idea was carried out with
beautiful red and white lights.
The course menu consisted of
blue points on half shell, turkey
with cranberry sauce, lobster
salad, deviled eggs, pickles,
olives, hot rolls, coffee, Swiss
cheese, frozen Roman punch.
The guests present were
Messrs, and Mesdames B. B.
Bond, 0. D. Watson, W. W. Mc
Minn, G. A. Hillhouse, James L.
Jones, Chas. H. Wilmahs, T. E.

A
ONE YOUNG BOY
KILLS ANOTHER.
Accidental is What Young Cox
Says About Shooting—Gave
Himself Up and is Now
in County Jail.
Pine Bluff, March 7.—Jeff D.
Cox shot and killed Young
Christy at his home near Dumas
Saturday night. It is said that
the killing was accidental.
Young Christy, who is a boy
about 16 years of age, and Cox
were riding along a country road
near Dumas and it is said Cox
was firing off his pistol aimlessly.
One of the bullets struck
Christy and killed him instant
ly. Cox gave himself up imme
diately to the sheriff and is held
to await trial. The coroner’s
jury was summoned and held an
inquest, reaching a verdict of
death by means of a pistol held
by J. D. Cox.
Young Christy was a son of J.
W. Christy and was well known
at Dumas. The affair is deeply
regretted by all concerned.
CORONER’S JURY
SAID “RODE THU RODS.”
Augusta, March 7.—A coro

passifig over him, and the jury
is of the opinion that he was
“riding the rods” and fell off.

relieved and two months ago gave birth to a fine boy baby.
MRS. TOM MURRAY, of Roche port, Mo.: Two years age I spent about
half the winter in bed. In February I commenced to take your Wine of
Cardui. I was better at once and in a month was like a different person.
My baby was born on Easter morning and mv health has been good ever since.
Every expectant mother should use this excellent medicine.
H. (4. SHELBY, of Monterey, La.: Year before last I paid $50.00 doctor
bills for my wife. After that my wife used one bottle of Wine of Cardui and
nine months after she gave birth to a thirteen pound boy baby and I haven’t
