Mingle in happy union in the exquisite
perfumes we carry. Scents are as difficult to
blend into harmony as sounds. It takes almost
as high an order of ability to make true per
fumes as is required to write good music.
No wonder so much of the perfume of
fered is rank, flat and'unsatisfactory. If not
wholly pleased with the odors you are now
1 using, we would like to have you try some of
the delightful ones we handle. Cost you no
more than tin poorer kinds.

COMPANY PASSED
CREDITABLE INSPECTION.
Capt. Lorrane T. Richardson, of the
Twenty-second Infantry, accompanied
by H. G. McBurney, who is assisting
him in the work of inspection north
of the Arkansas river, reviewed the
work of Company G of the Arkansas
state guard here Friday evening in
the court house yard.
A large crowd was present to wit
ness the drill, and Capt. Richardson
was highly pleased and generous in
his compliment of the local company,
whose manual of arms and inspection
were highly satisfactory, though their
field maneuvering was not up to the
usual standard, but the boys have had
little practice in this line.
Capt. Richardson thought Company
G had the best chance thus far for the
silk: regiment flag, which is to be
awarded the best company. Ar
additional point in favor of our boys
is their high percentage of attendance
40 out of the 44 being accredited pres
ent at the inspection.
An elegant lunch was tendered the
company in honor of the visiting army
officer at Bracy’s Cafe, being servec
in courses, as follows: Port wine:
creamed chicken, shrimp and salmoi
salads, french fries; wine; cold roast
beef, pickled tongue, watered ham; ice
cream and cake; Budweiser and cigars

ADVANTAGE OF
KNOXVILLE SCHOOL.
The teachers of Arkansas who are
thinking of attending a summer school
this summer can find no place more
desirable than ?r School of
the South tO^'^Lld at Knoxville.
Those in charhave provided for a
faculty of the most distinguished edu
cators of the country, 93 in number.
The location of the school is desirable
as Knoxville is one of the healthiest
and most picturesquely situated cities
in the South. 2,000 from the South
attended this school last summer, and
fully as large an attendance is ex
pected this year. On account of the
cheap railroad rates, I am sure Ar
kansas will be well represented in this
school this summer. b tJl
TEACHERS WANTED.

Wo need at once a few more teach
ers for fall schools, both experienced

calls this year than ever before.
