Plenty ofStocks, but no Cigars

The stranger who halls from the
East and has the odor of wealth about

An Item for the Ladies.

FoR all dlnnefs. says Harper's Bd-
zoar, there is entirely new departure
in the way of decorating the table, All
the flowers are put or in high vases, so
that the guests can look underneath the
flowers. The Carlsbad beer glasses,
called "schooners," are very much used
to hold the high-waying bouquets.
The elaborate dinner cards are all gone
out, and plain card stamped with the
monogram of the hostess alone marks
the place where the guest is to sit. A
menu is placed for the host or hostess on
little porcelain slate held up by
bracket, but that is the only one on the
table. For both ladies, and gentle
mems dinners the same arrangement Of
wine obtains, except that at the former
sherry and bitters are not offered. It's
only fair to say that scarcely any of
this wine is drunk by ladies', therefore
it seems ostentatious TO serge it so free
ly Two soups, white and clear, will be
passed. and two kinds of fish, TO give
each guest a choice. An old fashion is
being revived of bringing in the roast
OH silver platter, the host carving.
Silver dishes are used for the vegeta-
bles and for the salads, but not to eat
from /; there is something unpleasant IN
cutting anything on silver dish. The
finest of Derby ware or porcelain should
be used for the plates. Cut glass is
very much in fashion for the ornamen-
tai dishes of the table. We hear many
inquiries as to the propriety of buying
the colored glass now in fashion for the
table. 1t is very pretty, but one may
grow tired of it. Some of it is too gau-
dy for taste. For ladies' lunches also
a truce has been sounded to the expeR-
sive decorations of dinner cards, paint
ed ribbons and bags for bonbons. The
menu also has been simplified. Chops
with peas, spanish omelet Ga deli
cious dish this). birds broiled, Tried po-
tatoes, mushrooms on toast, artichokes,
salads, champagne, coffee and fruit !:
this is now deemed very stylish lsnch
for ladies, and is not overloaded.
Roasted almonds, salted, make very
good relish after the sweets.

In Another Mans Business.

A young man came into the car
cropping through the aisle for seat.
His left eye was covered with a red
handkerchief and his right was swollen
nearly shut. A white handkerchief
now blood soaked, was around his
head, tied under his chin. He limped
in one leg and didn It feel well in the
other.

enger, "been in a railroad accident?"
"Naw."
Here was brief pause, and then
the inquiry:
"RLnaway?'

Another pause. but finally the
query.
"Base ball?"
"Naw.'
"Well, 1 say, exclaimed the inquisi-
tive passenger, warmly, twill you be
kind enough to tell me how in the
world you did get banged up in that
style?"

individual, swinging his right arm

SPEAKING about hats, said lawyer,
reminds me of an incident that happen
ed several years ago, when | was living
at q fashionable house, in leading ci-
ty. 1t was rather high-toned place
and contained among its members as
fine lot of young ladies and gentlemen
as you would care to meet. Well, one
day in midsummer-and it was terri :.
BILE hot day, too-while we were all
down at dinner, a man entered the hall
door, which was standing open. and
gathering up the hats on the rack in a
pilc-there was about thirty of them,
and some fine ones, too-he started
down the steps. Before he reached the
sidewalk he met a salesman who was a
little late for dinner, and who asked
him what he was doing with all those
hats. why" said the fellow, "I'm a
hat dealer just around the corner, and
am going to clean those hats while the
gentlemen are at dinner" All right
replied the salesman, "take mine along,
and clean it up, too" There was soon
the biggest crowd Of bare headed clerks
in the house you ever saw. And the
one who saw the rascal Juggling the
hats all off, and helped him, too, by
giving him his own hat-well we near
ly thumped the life out of him.

THERE'S clock at Brussels which

Mr.. Pickett, of the Appeal, called
on Sheriff Haskins and myself at the
Peabody hotel, and requested us to
give him statement Of the Beakley
sifsir. Mr.. Haskins declined and
referred him to me. l gave him
what l thought to be a correct ver-
sion of the affair; and either he or |
made a mistake. The idea that /
intended to convey was that il we
had found no counterfeit money, the
citizens would have made it warm
for us; but after Beakley was shown
to be counterfeiter they, the citi-
gems, did all in their power to assist
us. The article wrote up by Mr..
Dean, for your paper Of October "a,

of the people with whom ] met on
the Island were old acquaintances,

quietly and lsmb-like to be killed,
and have his house burned over him.

EDITOR OscEoLA TIMEs-Dear
SIR; Will you allow me space in
your columns to speak to the people
Of Mississippi county, in regard to
the State srms that are here in our
county, and have been the subject
Of so much talk Of late.
Aud, sir, in the commencement, if
| should critlcise the acts of any Of
our officials, from the President Of
the United States down, it is nothing
more than any American citizen has
q right to do, so long as he conf nes
himself to facts.
There is law in our state requir-
ing the Sheriffs of the various coun-
ties to collect up, and send all state
arms to the Governor at Little Rock,
and this law imposes heavy penal
ty on any one refusing to surrender
the States arms on demand Of the
Governor. You will remember Mr.
Editor, that on Saturday night, No
vembcr 2lst., there was some dis.
turbance on cur streets, and that a
drunken negro, Pete Skipper by
name, Inflicted q serious wound up
on one Mr.. Reader, who is deputy
Sheriff under Mr.. Haskins. Right
then, Bob Dean, who seems to be
the chief advisor of Mr.. Haskins, be-
came greatly alarmed and declared
that it was a "put-up job" to muir
der and assassinate all of Haskins'
deputies, and then Haskins himselr
and went so far as to declare that if
Haskins ever was hurt, that there
was barrel of Coal Oil in the cen
ter of town, that the head would be
knocked out, the town coal-oiled and
burned, and that he, Dean, would
lead a mob over the ashes. | heard
of this dastardly threat the mex,
morning, and knowing that men in
famed with whiskey care not what
they do, | sat down and addressed q
letter to Governor Hughes, asking
him to send messenger here anC
take the State arms out of the coun
ty. John B. Driver signed the let
ter with me. Governor Hug Les i'm
mediately sent Capt Clark as mes
ssnger TO take charge Of the guns
but, as he informed INF before leav

surrender the guns to him. Now
