I TAKES THE CASH.
■ Clerked in Store At Marked Tree
^ And Absconded Sunday
I — Night.
JT V^jiesboro, March 20.—Last
■ night at Marked Tree a clerk by
I the name of E. E. Woods, who
! worked for John B. Claunch, ab
f sconded^ with about $500 of the
I latter’s money. Woods slept in
T>ih© .store, and it was an easy
matter to obtain the money, as
he was a trusted employe and
had access to the safe.
Woods was of a jovial disposi
tion and was liked by everyone.
He formerly worked for the Cot
ton Belt at Jonesboro. From
here he went to St. Louis. There
his wife died and he went to
1 Marked Tree and obtained em
ployment with Mr. Claunch.
He stated that he had some
property in St. Louis and was
going to sell this and take an in
terest in the store with Mr.
Claunch.
BOWEN’S PHOTO
CAR COMPANY.
For several weeks the Bowen
Photo Car Company has found
business too good in Newport to
be in any hurry to find another
live town. They have a nicely
equipped car for occupancy as
well as their business, and Mr.
Wa&owen has proven himself a skill
ful photographer and his excel
lent work tells the story better
Aptian any newspaper comments.
He is assisted in his work by his
wife, a likewise capable student
of the art, and together they
have made a signal success of
touring the country in their spe
cial car, thus enabling people in
the smaller cities to get high
class work at home.
OVERDONE SAYS
ILLINOIS EDITOR.
There is much comment in pa
pers generally as to the useful
ness or propriety of many cards
of thanks and the opinion of the
fraternity is practically unani
mous in declaring the custom
much overdone.
For instance, the Register of
Mt. Carmel, 111., says:
“Why, I picked up a Cincin
nati paper not long ago and read
a card of thanks that went on to
thank the relatives and friends
for coming to the fuueral, and it
thanked the preacher and the
people that did the singing, and
* 4-4- L n m 4- U /s w nil nn unwri r> v» /1
< t i<uaiix\vu i/uv viw
the undertaker—giving his firm
name and place of business—and
it thanked the people that went
to the burying, and thanked the
sextbn who put the body away,
and even thanked the cab driver
z that gave them such a refresh
ing and exhilerating drive back
/ home, and it was a wonder to me
that they didn’t thank the doc
tor for furnishing the corpse.
“I just felt like having a hem
orrhage when I got through read
ing it. I always thought there
was no need of any such things
except in cases where somebody
dies among strangers but in nine
cases out of ten in these cards of
thanks people thank others for
doing simply what anyone would
expect them to do, and its all out
of place to thank one for doing
his duty.”
“THE SHOW GIRL.”
One of the best shows of its
character, consisting of over
thirty people, wild-catted its way
into Newport Monday evening,
appearing to a crowded house at
prices that have heretofore thin
ned the ranks of the theatre-go
ing public.
“The Show Girl” is rightly ad
vertised as Whitney’s “Tomfool
ery,” and is a thrown-together
affair, with such ridiculous es
capades upon the part of very
funny people, that the produc
tion calls for one continuous
laugh. The company on this
date, hardly accustomed to such
miniature stages, kept butting
into scenery here and there, but
the shocks were not so painful
nor the bruises so severe that the
funny side of it all was lost to
the suffering talent, who rather
“took on” in a finer sense the
spirit of their tomfoolery.
Miss Stella Mayhew and Mr.
Matthew E. Kennedy were es
pecially susceptible to these in
fluences and their originality ad
ded much to the play. The for
mer is fine in darkey dialect and
hardly ever betrays her race
when in charcoal. There were
too many good things to special
ize and too many parts that can
not be given justice in a limited
character analysis.
SUIT INSTITUTED
FOR HEAVY FINES.
Iron Mount: in To Test Law Re
quiring All Trains to Stop at
Walnut Ridge.
Suit will be entered in the cir
cuit courts of Lawrence county
this week against the St. Louis,
Iron Mountain & Southern Rail
way company for the non-com
pliance with a law recently en
acted by the general assembly,
requiring the railroad company
to stop their passenger trains at
Walnut Ridge. The fine, as as
sessed under the law, is $200 per
day for each passenger train not
stopped.
The law went into effect Feb
ruary 5, 44 days ago, and the
amount involved in the suit will
be about $35,000. The result of
the suit will be watched with in
terest in the different counties in
the state, many of whom have
measures now pending in the
legislature requiring the stop
ping of trains and erection of de
pots along the lines of the rail
roads operating through the sev
eral counties.
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
There was a good attendance
at our prayer meeting on last
Tuesday evening. The prayer
meeting this week will be on
Thursday evening at 7:30 o’clock
and by all means let us double
the attendance of last week. It
will be good to be there. Reader,
be sure to come.
Now read this: A class for
the systematic and practical
study of the bible has been
started and the next meeting is
to be held in the Presbyterian
church at 4 o’clock sharp on
Thursday afternoon. It is for
men and women who wish to
know more of the bible. The
lesson is the first chapter of
Genesis. You are invited.

NEW PARDON RULES
OF HIS EXCELLENCY.
o
Governor Davis Proposes to Be
Less Lenient With Violators
of Certain Laws.
Governor Davis has announced
the following new pardon rule:
“I have recently been over
whelmed with applications for
pardons where the defendants
! have been cohvicted of carnal
I abuse, seduction, rape or some
| kindred offenses and I have come
to this determination, that here
after I will not consider, neither
will I open the papers for a con
sideration of any application for
any defendant in any case of
rape, seduction, carnal abuse or
any other case where the chas
tity or good name of a woman is
involved.
“I make this statement so that
attorneys and friends of defend
ants may not bother me with
these applications.
“If sixteen grand jurors indict
a man for either of these offenses
and twelve jurors convict him
and the trial judge refuses to
set aside the verdict, so far as
this office is concerned the trans
action is a closed incident. How
ever, this rule does not apply to
applications now on file.”
ROGERS SAYS HE
WILL PROSECUTE
All Violators Under Auti-Trust
Law and Promises Sensa
I
tional Developments.
|
| Little Rock, March 20.—Attor
ney General Robert L. Rogers an-1
nounces that he will enforce to
the letter the provisions of the
anti-trust law, as he announced
the day it was approved. This
removes the last hope of the in
surance companies that some sort
of an agreement could be made
with him to permit them to do
business in the State pending the j
test suit that is expected to come
soon after next Thursday.
He says he will promptly in
stitute suits against all compan
ies that may remain in the state
one day over the limit. There is
to be no mincing of matters. As
yet it is not known what com
pany will remain.
Sensational developments may
come with the week-end, for it j
is thought that the fire compan
ies will not alone be called to ac
count. Just where it will all end
is a matter of pure conjecture.
: LESSER-GOLDMAN
TAKE THE BONDS.
The Lesser-Goldman Cotton |
Company of St. Louis and Ar
' kansas has purchased the entire
l issue of $300,000 of bonds by the
| recently authorized Plum Bayou
levee district at 100 cents on the
dollar, the consideration being
for cash, says the Little Rock
Democrat. They have extensive
interests in Arkansas and this
is another evidence of their con
fidence in Arkansas and its fu
ture. The firm probably handles
more cotton than any other firm j
in Arkansas.

Owing to the lateness of Eas
