Batesville Guard: @To its credit Bates
vile has literary society. .. The effect
/, of doing away with the whisky traffic in

those who were accustomed 10 its use show
little signs OF displeasure."
Helena Yeoman: "An italian has been ar
rested for depraved aud incredible cruelty
toward his ward, a child of nine years..
Helena has been fortunate in escaping a
visitation of smallpox, but in view of the
prevalence of the disease throughout the
country we think it prudent for all 10 be vac
cinated as preventive"
Ozark Democrat: "The opponents to pro-
hibitioH are hard to please. Some of them
complain because it is difficult to get drink
and others, when they see some old topper full
OF the liquor he had bought before the law
went into effect A week ago, a white
boy, about fourteen years old, becoming
offended at, stabbed with a pocket-knife a

come up to cool off. Go home"
Augusta Vidctte: "Mr. Rains, formerly of
Scotland, has bought place near S.arcy
and has returned to Virginia after his
family. Mr.. Rains Travelled over several
States looking at the country, but gave Ar
kansas the preference. A few days ago
