very successful in journalistic
fields, returned home Friday
noon, after a short visit with his
parents here. We acknowledge
a pleasant call. Mr. Snetzer has

The patrons of the Newport
opera house will be entertained
tonight by the big comedy pro
duction, “Uncle Josh Spruceby.”
This popular play comes well rec
ommended and will no doubt be
received with enthusiasm here.
The piece is staged with every
attention to stage realism. All
the scenes are well mounted and
acted. The startling ‘'sawmill”
scene is said to be a masterpiece
of stage mechanism. Many
specialties are introduced and
the superb solo orchestra carried
bv the company all go to make
this a very delightful produc
tion.
The Jonesboro Evening Sun ot
Monday says: ‘‘Notices were
posted this morning on Main
street and around the depot call
ing attention to the anti-spitting
ordinance. No arrests were
made today and none will be
made immediately, but in a few
days the fun will begin. The re-!
porter for the Sun made a care-;
ful estimate and arrived at the
result that if every man who j
violated the ordinance today had
been arrested and fined the city
would have collected something
like $47,435. It is designed to
give the people a chance to get
used to the fact that there is an
ordinance. A tobacco salesman
said this morning that the ordi
dinance was class legislation—
that it was a direct blow to his
business, but he is something of
a reformer in the expectoration
line and will not make any se
rious objections.”

IN MEMORY OF
N. B. .PETTEY.
—
The remains of the late N. B.
Pettey arrived in Searcy on the
8:30 train Sunday morning from
Newport, accompanied by his
wife and son, and were taken to
the residence of his father-in
law, Rev. G. A. Dannelly, where
solemn and impressive services
were held Monday afternoon at
2 o’clock by Rev. Frank Barrett, 1
assisted by Dr. Willis.
Mr. Pettey received internal 1
injuries August 11 and was -
never well any more. He was £
taken sick with pneumonia Jan- J
uary 28 and died February 20, 1
and was laid to rest in Oak £
Grove cemetery February 22 by
the side of his son, George, 1
where the same dew drops will i
kiss the flowers that bloom 1
around their graves and the gen- j 1
tie zenhvrs waft messages of love !1
from mound to mound. i
He died as one might wish to i
die—in his home, in the midst of <
friends and neighbors, in the ten- <
der care of her who was nearest
and dearest. He was a genial,
gracious, unassuming man, who 1
treated all who came within the 1
circle of his influence with the I <
same gentle and kind courtesy. ; 1
He departed this life in paths of;
peace, and even in the hour of 1
death would sav ‘ ‘all is well:'
with my soul.” —Searcy Citizen. !
JONESBORO’S

Those who had signed their '

journed to meet Saturday night,
and it is thought there will b£
