Wednesday Afternoon Tea. !
Mrs. H. O. Walker and Mrs.
Sprigg Foushee entertained with
a large reception, Wednesday af
ternoon, in honor of Mrs. Walter
Harris and Mrs. J. J. Blanshard,
two of Newport’s popular ma
trons, who wall leave the first of
the week for Fayetteville, where
they will make their home.
For the occasion the Walker
home was beautifully done in
greenery and pink carnations.
The dining room was aglow with
pink carnations, and masses of
pink carnations- The table was
laid in cluny lace, the tea and
coffee urns being presided over
by Mrs. R. T. Robertson and
Mrs. Ira J. Mack.
The receiving line composed of
the two hostesses, Mrs. Walker
and Mrs. Foushee, Mrs. Harris,
Mrs. Blanshard, Mrs- M. A. Dor
sey, stood in the parlor and dur
ing the receiving hours from 3
to 5 extended a welcome to a
lai'ge number who called to say
goodbye to the two honored
guests of the afternoon.
Among those who assisted in
receiving w’ere, Mrs. P. H. Van
Dyke, Mrs. 0. E. Jones, Mrs.
George K. Stephens, Mrs- H. E.
Cobb and Mrs. R. D. Wilmans.
A salad course was nicely
served by Misses Lucy Sprigg
and Willie Overton Minor.
Preparations For War.
United States naval officers,
ever insistent for more battle
ships, pretend to see imminent
prospect of war with Japan.
The alarmists who see in Ja
pan’s recent diplomatic steps an
other war cloud will have some
difficulty in explaining why that
nation, which is a synonym for
willingness and preparedness,
waited to force matters until the
$400,000,000 canal, which we
wcuenjoirauaueiunununuH^^
have built for just such an e
ventuality, and which doubles
our sea power, was completed
and ready for the passage of
battleships. Polite though they
are, or always seem to be, why
did the Japanese stand aside and
wait for us to go first to the po
sition invincible?
The so-called “Christian” na
tions (save the mark) are to
day staggering under a load of
debt estimated at no less than
thirty-two billion dollars.
A large—a very large—propor
tion of this debt has been in
curred in the prosecution of
wars and the maintenance of na
vies on a “peace” footing.
Our own government, at peace
with all the world, contributes
! annually between four and five
! hundred millions for keeping up
Jour armaments—for the preser
vation of peace.
“0 Peace, Peace”, to parody
Madame Roland’s famous excla
mation, “how many crimes are
committed in thy name?”
It is these debts and expendi
tures for wars and defenses a
gainst war that contribute so
considerably to hard times and
high prices of living.—Memphis
News Scimitar.
Colored Merchant Dead.
Mack Pet way, aged 61 years, a
colored merchant on lower First
street, died Tuesday afternoon
at 5 o’clock from an illness of
eleven days from pneumonia.
The deceased was prominent a
mong the colored citizens of our
city, and was well liked by his
white friends. He was a mem
ber of the Odd Fellows’ lodge,
which had charge of the funeral
this afternoon at 2 o’clock,
which was held at the colored
Methodist church.
ADDITIONAL LOCAL.
Mr. and Mrs- John Pettet of
Talmadge, Iowa, are visiting Mr.
and Mrs. Harvey McCollum.
Earl C. Casey of Batesville left
this morning for Imboden to look
after his candidacy for prosecut
ing attorney.
Estus Rice went to Tuckerman
this morning to spend the day
with his parents.
John Morrow of Batesville was
here yesterday on business for
the day.
Mrs- Allen Maxfield was here
from Oklahoma City, being call
ed to Batesville by the death of
her father, Mr. Rosenthal.
In Due Season.
