fortably filled Wednesday evening by
visitors, delegates and Newport citi
zens, who not only enjoyed the pro
gram arranged, consisting of address
es and readings interspersed with
music, but were delightfully enter
tained by the ladies of the Lucieu C.
Cause chapter in the informal recep
tion, which followed.
Hon. Charles Coffin presided upon
this occasion, introducing the speak
ers in a very happy manner. The
exercises were opened by the bugle
call by Mr. E. P. Tetwiler upon the
cornet answered by the old veterans,
who sang “Dixie” in stentorian
voices, that made the auditorium
fairly ring with this favorite Southern
melody.
Mrs. Wm. Neal of Helena made an
address, which held completely the
attention of her hearers and the
elegant ifianner in which she ex
pressed the thoughts advanced, was

Mrs. R. B. Willis of Searcy, delivered
a well prepared address upon South
ern literature, maintaining that South
ern writers had been just as success
ful in every field of prose and poetry
as the English and those of the North.
The speaker held that we must dem
onstrate our appreciation and rec
ognition four men and women of let
ters, if the fact is to be impressed up
on the world.
Miss Esther Neill received generous

chance to mingle with and meet the

ors. The delegates chosen to this

the home chapters and have made a
most flattering impression with our
people, who have found the pleasure
realized in entertaining even to ex
ceed their high anticipations.
The refreshments, consisting of
sandwiches, pickles and coffee were
nicely served, completing a varied
and delightfully spout evening.
THUR SDAY’S PROCEEDINGS.
The morning session was devoted
chiefly to the reports of different
chapters, coming under the head of
unfinished business and carried over
from the preceding day. In the ab
sence of Mrs. A. P. Coolidge, record
ing secretary, Mrs. Chas. H. Wilmans
has been serving in that capacity.
Upon the question of whether or
not a chapter should be allowed a
VUtO 111 IUC UUIi VUULiUil, pi iUi LU IJLltJ
full payment of back dues, a spirited
discussion was aroused, Mrs. J. M.
Kellar of Hot Springs, contending
that this right should be withheld.
Mrs. Sam Wassell of Little Rock of
fered reasons for contrary action and
a motion to this effect was carried by
a decisive vote.
The morning invocation was offered
by Mrs. M. A. Dorsey anc! upon sug
gestion of the president, Mrs. B. C.
Benton, Mrs. J. M. Kellar of Hot
Springs was requested to thank Mrs.
R. B. Willis in behalf of the conven
tion for her excellent address. Mrs.
Moore of Batesville gave a piano
selection and a song closed the morn
ing exercises, sung by a chorus of lo
cal talent.
Just before adjournment for the
noon hour, W. D.' Ross was given the
rostrum for the purpose of photo
graphing the convention crowd, but
as the light was poor and a long ex
posure required he hjy a difficult time
in quieting the anitr ion and enthu
siasm that is to be f id in a conven
im of U. D. C’s. /
The early afteriiuon was occupied
with receiving reports from the sev
eral committees and discussion rel
ative to their adoption. The election
of officers was not expected to take
place until late in the afternoon or to
morrow morning. There seem to be
breakers ahead, as the contest for the
presidency is warming into a very ac
tive campaign between the friends of
Mrs. B C. Benton of Pine Bluff, who
think that her administration of the
office deserves a second term and the
followers of Mrs. Sam. Wassell of Lit
tle Rock, a very accomplished woman,
whose friends are working zealously, to
so honor her.
The Smart Set entertain this eve
ning at the home of the Misses
Brandenburg and to-morrow will con
clude the proceedings of the seventh
annual convention.

cles, it was announced that the wreck,
which was no doubt a bad one, would
