DISTINGUISHED DAUGHTERS.
New Orleans Times-Democrat: The
ladies who are attending the U. D. C.
convention are one and all delighted
with the entertainment they have re
ceived in this city, one lady remark
ing: “I have never enjoyed anything
so much in all my life.” Much of the
pleasure which has characterized the
convention of the Daughters is due
largely to the charming women who
have constituted its membership.
They are to be found in the general
offices, in the divisions, and in the
chapters. They are everywhere. If
it has been a pleasure to the visitors
to be so entertained, it appears to
have been an equal pleasure to the
New Orleans people to entertain them.
Every social affair has been a distinct
success.
The delegation from Arkansas is
composed of very prominent and in
tellectual womenf Among them is
Mrs. John H. Keel, a very bright and
handsome woman, and the wife of one
of America’s most prominent politi
cians.
Mrs. Chas. H. Wilmans, recording
secretary of the Arkansas Division, is
a daughter of the late Capt. Green
Brandenburg, who was a loyal Con
federate soldier and well known in
New Orleans in the days of the old
South. She stands out conspicuously
among the bright women of the con
vention.
Mrs. R. M. Johnson of Newport,
Ark., is one of the most charming and
prepossessing women in the conven
tion, and is a very ardent worker in
the U. D. C. cause. Mrs. Johnson’s
father, J. A. McCauley, entered the
Confederate arfny at the age of fifteen
years, and served faithfully through
the war under Gen. W. L. Cabell.

BAD CHECKS BEHIND.
—
Roadmaster Collins On Frisco Passes
Up His Jonesboro Friends And
Leaves For Parts Unknown.
The Jonesboro Daily Enterprise of
Saturday tells of a railroad man who
succeeded in “duping” a number of
business men of that city and then
shook the dust of the town from his
feet. The Enterprise says:
“Roadmaster R. P. Collins who re
signed a position with the Frisco last
week, saying that he was going to
Bowling Green, Ky., to take a po
sition with the L. & N. road, turns out
to be a first class rascal.
“In the first place his resignation
with the Frisco was a matter of com
punction, and his job with the L. & N.
was a cleverly devised tale to fool ffte
people and right well he did it. He
gave several checkB for large amounts
to Jonesboro parties and owed con
siderable to his fellow employes on
the road. One check to I. Goldstein
for over $60; one to Max Meyer for
over $100 and one to J. E. Wilburn at
Nettleton for over $100, besides others
of which we cannot secure definite
information. His shortages are over
$600. It is even said here that Collins
was not his name, that R. P. Collins,
known all over the country as an ex
cellent railroader is dead, and that
this fellow is using his name in order
to secure work with the various rail
roads.
“He drew his money out of the
Jonesboro Savings & Trust Co., where
he had deposited Thursday evening
late, and left, he said for Bowling
Green, but his whereabouts are not
known—there are a few here however,
who would like to know.”
SHORT COUNCIL MEETING.
At a meeting of the council Monday
evening with Alderman Wishon, Wil
mans and Bailey and Mayor Grubbs
present, little business of importance
was transacted. The usual lot of bills
was approved and allowed.
The acceptance of Frank S. Hess
t> D ther with oath as member of the
Board of Improvement was presented
and filed.
A communication was read fr n C.
W. Beard, secretary of the Fire De
partment notifying the council of the
election of William Carouthers, first
assistant chief and A. Mortensen, sec
ond assistant chief at the election held
Oct. 30th, 1902. The following resolu
tion was also reported, “that the city
council be requested to furnish the
chief of the department with a badge
of his office and a lantern at an early
date.”
Upon motion of Bailey seconded by
Wishon, the election of fire depart
ment officers was approved and re
quest for badge and lantern granted.
The report of the auditing con
approving the reports of the
Recorder and Marshal was received
and ordered spread upon the record
together with the statements of those
officers.
The council then adjourned.
PROMINENT PLANTER DEAD.
Thomas Jefferson Long,'one of the
best known and most highly respected
planters of Oil Trough, died Monday
afternoon at 3.42 o’clock, after a three
weeks’ sickness with typhoid fever, at
his home ten miles from Newport be
yond Elmo in Independence county.
The deceased leaves a widow and
nine children, five boys and four girls,
none of them grown. Mr. Long was
about forty-five years of age and had
long been a resident of Oil Trough
Bottom. He had prospered financially
through industry and ability, but
never at the sacrifice of honesty.
He was a member of the Newark
lodge of Masons, who had charge of
his funeral services, the remains be
ing laid to rest at Maple Springs
graveyard in Independence county,
Tuesday morning.

GRAVEL HAULING BEGINS*
A gravel train was sent to Fitzger
ald Monday afternoon with crew to
load same and return to Newport. A
passing switch, which means one con
nected with the main line at each end,
is to be put in, 3828 feet long extend
ing from the Choctaw crossing- to a
point about even with the button
factory and lying adjacent to the main
line on the north side. On Tuesday,
the rock ballast along the main line |
track within the points named, was
being thrown close along the rails
from the north side of the dump, so
that the tilling in might proceed at
once.
A platform will be constructed be
tween the two tracks in front of the
depot in order that the branch trains
may be unloaded on the switch
track or that passengers meeting here
may run in at the same time. 6
ROCK ISLAND SURVEY.
The surveying party of the Rock
Island mentioned last week in charge
of Engineer Slaton arrived in Des Arc
Saturday. They entered town near
where Main St. crosses the west cor
poration line. The party were in the
act of starting back over the survey
to place the grade stakes when they
were stopped by the arrival of the
chief engineer of the Rock Island who
suspended operations temporarily.
The party stopped work and went to
camp, while the Chief after few hours
drove out on the Bluff road for that
place.—Des Arc Guidon.
