This Picture
is a fair likeness of the Benjamin
Double-breasted Sack Suit, bearing
this famous mark
But no picture, however perfect,
can do Benjamin clothes full jus
tice. You must see them—exam
ine them carefully—to really ap
preciate them. We want you to
note the careful, custom-tailor way
in which the cloth is sponged,
shrunken and shaped by hand;
how it is cut by experts to fit your
figure; how superbly stylish is the
finished garment; how exquisite (
the workmanship, inside and out.
Benjamin apparel costs no more
than commonplace ready-mades.'

REPORT OF PRESIDENT.
Paper of Mrs. O. D. Watson Read to
Daughters of Confederacy in State
Convention at Invitation 6f
State President.
Madame President and Ladies:
It is my happy privilege and pleas
ure this day to bring to your attention
a little band of workers in Newport,
the Junior Memorial Association, and
the only memorial association com
posed of children in the state. In
doing so I feel that I am not alone in
the sentiments expressed, for you
must all rejoice at every new star,
however diminutive, which appears
in the midst of our women, working
so earnestly and persistently toward
the end that the generations to come
shall hear aright the great tragedy of
the Southern Confederacy, and that
there are ever outstretched willing
hands to place laurels in loving mercy
by word and deed toward the history
of those men in gray, the hosts of Lee
and Jackson.
This association was promoted by a
little junior from the Crescent City,
Beatrice Cockle, a grand-daughter of
James F. Fagan of Arkansas, and her
mother, Mrs. Irene Fagan Cockle, to
gether with the encouragement of the
Lucien C. Cause chapter of our city.
It was organized June 18th with a
membership of sixteen and now
numbers almost twice that many. All
of its officers are from the ranks, that
is, they are children themselves, with
one exception, the president, which
position it is my dear privilege to fill.
They hold monthly meetings at which
a short program of music and real
war-time experiences learned from
their elders are related, and dainty
luncheons are served to tempt even
the youngest to attend. Their dUeD,
though small, are regularly paid. This
fall they ga' e pickaninny candy
pulling at the home of two of its
members, tb' little Misses Minor, and
as the minimum of ten cents per plate
was all that was charged, the $11
cleared was considered a large amount
to add to their bank account. With
this they expect to make a Christmas
„ -I_i. . ll. - .1 J_1 3!_.i. il 1
vuwiuig uu ilum ouiuioio at uuc uuuic
in Little Rock and to any others whom
they may hear of not so fortunate as
to have little folks of their own to
make merry the Yuletide season.
On Decoration Day they assisted
very considerably the Lucien C. Gau
s'e Chapter in placing upon the graves
of both Confederate and Federal sol
diers a cross of honor and wreath of
glory made of tender blossoms, and
this is to be one of their most sacred
duties. It is, also, the purpose of these
little men and women to assist with
their mite in the erection of monu
ments to their honored dead.
Mrs. W. J. Behan, President of the
Confederated Southern Memorial
Association, learned with much pleas
ure of the existence of these dear
Juniors, and most earnestly and cor
dially invited them to affiliate with
the Confederated Southern Memorial
Association, send their youthful dele
gates to meet with the veterans a
their annual reunions, and Anally falFi
heir to the glorious work the women
of the Confederated Southern Mem
orial Association is doing wherever
its banner waves. And now thank
ing you Madam President and ladies i
for the courtesy you have accorded <
us in inviting this report, I shall only
ask that every daughter and son of
the Confederacy remember with love /
and sympathy the Junior Memorial
Association of Newport, Arkansas.
FITCH WILL OPPOSE
FURTHER IMPROVEMENT.
Capt. Graham D. Fitch, United States
engineer in charge of the government
work on the rivers of Arkansas, has
recommended to the higher authorities
at Washington that no further appro
priations be mad9 for the construction
of locks and dams in White River and
that this system of improvements be
abandoned.
The reason assigned for this recom
mendation is that the White River
railroad has been constructed along
the river, between Batesville and Buf
falo City, points between which the
series of locks and dams was intended
to be built, and that it is, therefore,
unnecessary that White River should
be made permanently navigable.
Such a report naturally brings forth
quite a wail from the Batesville pap
ers, which section of country is great
ly benefited by the expenditure of
large government appropriations re
gardless of the permaneut value of
the work. Millions of dollars are
squandered on such internal improve
ments and a general retrenchment
policy upon the part of Congress
would prove popular with the mass of
the people.

A -
AnnuMj Association Adopts Resolu
tions Favoring Peace Between
. the Factions.
Little Rbck, Nov. 1.—The greater
portion ofttho second day of the an
nual meeting of the Arkansas Baptist
association was consumed in discuss
ing the repoM of the peace committee
which reported at 2 o’clock. After s
lengthy debata the report was adopt
ed by a practiaally unanimous vote
The committee Vecomrnendod peace
upon the terms submitted by the Bap
tist convention peace committee a
the conference held in Little Root
three weeks ago. The Baptist con
vention will meet week after next
when its committee will report and \
adopted by the convention both fac
tions will he again united and the as
sociation will be the only Baptist or
ganization in the state. The commit
tee on foreign missions submitted the
following report, which was adopted
“We, your committe, report that wc
have foreign missionaries in Cuba anc
Syria. In Cuba is Elder A. J. Diaz
with six assistants, and Elder S»id M
Jureidini is in Beirut, Syria. These
missionaries have been successful anc
we are profoundly grateful to God foi
his blessings upon this great work
We recommend that increased and
liberal contributions be sent to oui
treasurer for those God-called, church
sent missionaries.”
INVITED FOR THE DAY.
When one stops to consider the
pleasure derived by elderly people in
social reunions it seems strange tjo a
younger generation that they are Dot
more frequently held. They are like
mythical fountains of youth, such as
Ponce de Leon sought in the new
mrld, and rejuvenate old age with
enthusiasm and mirth.
Such a gathering it was, when upon
invitation from Mrs., L. J. Dills, a
number of her friends spent the en
tire Saturday at her home in East
Newport. An elaborate and elegant
dinner Lad been prepared for the oc
casion, beginning with roast pig and
turkey and including all the delica
cies of the season. To say that it was
enjoyed is putting the case very
mildly.
The hostess was assisted in enter
taining by her daughters Mesdames
Sam Taggart and J. G. Walker and
the only thought to mar the perfect
happiness of the occasion was found
in the intention of Mesdames Dills and
Walker to remove shortly to their
new home in the far West, for the
parting of on. time friends is indeed
sorrowful.
No games were played, not that
ga.»._3 had lost favor, but for the bet
ter reason that the company and host
had too much to talk about of a more
interesting character than what was
trumps. Mirth and gaiety held sway
throughout the day and when the
parting hour had hurried around, it
ivas generally agreed that Mrs. J.
Brandenburg and Mrs. M. C. Wicker
iham of Little Rock were the two
youngest ladies present.
Those in attendance were Mesdames
S. C. Wickersham, T. D. Kinman, J.
3randenburg, E. Z. McDonald, J. M.
Bell, A. H. McDonald, N. B. Petty,
i.aura Doswell, Pattie Huddleston, L.
B. Young, O. W. Scarborough and J.
