and the enterprise is a certainty.
R. D. Dunlap is erecting three
brick business houses at a cost
of about $10,000, and a great
many other buildings are going
up.
The Arkansas Cumberland Col
lege has a good attendance. A
number of new students arrived
this week.
ADDITIONAL LOCAL.
The union services conducted
at the Christian church Sunday
were well attended. Mr. Crit
tenton’s sermon, both morning
and evening, were fine, and
should have reached the heart
of every unbeliever in the house.
The service tonight will be held
at this church, and are all
requested to attend.
Mr. J. N. Moon, who has been
in the hospital at Little Rock for
several weeks under treatment,
has gone to Cincinnati for a
change and rest, and hopes, aft
er a little longer period of recre
ation, to be able to return and
resume his duties in the business
of Moon & Son at Swifton. He
is much better, but not yet en
tirely strong.
Miss Fannie Roberts, who lives
|
near Hickory Grove, and who
was supposed to have slipped
away from her home about Oct.
2 in company with a young man
by the name of Joe Spragg, was
found Saturday by Sheriff Bandy
at Mr. Murphy’s, a few miles in
the country. The young lady,
was perfectly happy and was at
work on Mr. Murphy’s farm,
having no intention of marrying,
and giving as her reason of slip
ping away, that she was tired of
home and wanted a change.

AN ODD OLD CHARACTER.
Kata, tha. Buniboat Woman, Who Haa
| Haunted Washington’s Navy
yard for Forty Years.
Kate, the buinboat woman, is
the title applied to an odd crea
ture who has been haunting the
Washington navy yard for the
past 40 years, says the Washing
ton Post. Her name is Kate
Royal, and as far back and further
than the oldest mao connected
with the yard can remember, Kate
has been making her daily trips
with her basket of candy, fruit
and notiens to sell to the sailors
who visit Washington on Uncle
Sam’s boats. Kate has a speaking
acquaintance with all the great
men of the army and navy. She
has letters and presents from
most of them, including Amirals
Dewey, Sampson and Schley.
Kate made her first visit to the
yard during the civil war. She
was a young woman in those days,
and. her bright Irish ways made
her & great favorite. In later
years, when age began to ereep
upon her, she began to form an
opinion that she was an active
and indispensable part of the
navy. She considered herself an
enlisted person and became as de
voted to the cause as the most
loyal man. It is just 40 years sine*
Kate began to consider herself 4
sailor.
She has had ten red enlistment
stripes, representing four years
each, placed upon a field of blue
cloth, and this she wore to cele
brate the anniversary.
Kate is a picturesque charac
ter. Her form is bowed beneath
the weight of 70 years, and her
face is seamed with the marks of
time. Only her eyes still retain
the brilliancy of youth, and they
sparkle with the same Irish hu
mor and good nature that
gleamed from them 40 years ago.
Kate has no regular hours of
business. She is on hand with the
rising sun, and the late hours of
the evening find her still on duty.
She gathers her little stock of
trade around her under the fore
castle of one of the United States
boats lying up at the yard, and
with the sailor boys lying aronnd
her on the floor she will tell them
tales of her youth or crone Irish
melodies for them until the signal
for lights out is passed around,
and the sailors seek their swing
ing hammocks, and Kate shoul
ders her basket of goods and wan
ders home.

HERO AND THE TOOTHACHE
i __
Remarks Thereon by a Disillusioned
Girl—He Had Faced Death
at Santiage.
“I used to be given to heio
worship,” said the girl with
the Russian sable muff to
her companion of the long, dark
eyelashes, according to the New
York Sun. “But, dear, we change,
do we not? Do you recall how I
spent the last of my pin money to
attend a reception that the club
arranged for a certain hero?
“Well, the week before last I
was coming np from Palm Beach.
On the train was a hero who had
withstood a dozen hostile fires at
Santiago. He had a toothache, a
simple little toothache, and he bel
lowed like a calf. I thought of the
five teeth that I had pulled out in
one afternoon without gas and
asked myself if the man was real
ly brave. I decided that a hero
must have a toothache such as
the ordinary mortal never
dreamed of.
“One of the train hands who
sympathized with the hero said:
'The best thing for a toothache is
whisky. If I had one I’d fill np’—
and he did. I mean my hero, that
was, did. Don’t talk to me in fu
ture of hero worship. Faeing
death may be one thing, but I’d
rather face death than he afraid
of a toothache. Have a bon bon?”
j . -
“Radium Sirup.”
A practical joke, now common
among Parisians, is to go into a
drug store and ask for three cents’
woi^th of radium. At first the
chemists took it good-naturedly,
but latterly it has become quite a
nuisance. One chemist in the
Rue <r Rivoli has just hit upon a
way oPlgetting even with the
would-be jokers. He has made a
concoction which he calls “radium
sirup,” and when the practical
joker arrives gravely bands out a
small quantity, charging an extra
two oeata for the bottle.
