Live This Side Of Mexlco-A Mothers
Cause.-The Saw the Game. Though
Small Fires-Paragraphs.
Jim Tansey, the local middle-weight,
with whom there has been so much idle
talk of fight with Bill Dempsey, will not
be likely 10 put on the gloves with any |
one for some months TO come. Tansey |
escaped from the county work-house last |
summer, where he was working out $50 |
fine and costs for breaking in his own |
saloon after il was closed by tho sheriff. |
There is also an old miitimus of $50 for the |
city against him for carrying pistol. He |
has boarded over at West Memphis when |
in this vicinity, and when he visited the !
city il was under cover OF darkness ever |
since his escape. Thus he has evaded the |
police until last Monday night, when Sergt. |
lIoran ran upon him in Front-street |
saloon and placed him under arrest. Tan
sew will have to knock out those fines |
before he knocks out anything else.
MOTHERS CAUSE.
Mrs. Iide Meriwether delivered an adj |
dress at the White Ribbon hall yesterday
ut 8 clock. to very appreciative audi
cnce; subject; 1.-THE White Cross and the
Shield" She explained the object OF
these societies and the necessity existing
for mothers to enlist in the cause of social
purity, as they have the training of the
future men and women. She said social
purity prohibits degrading thoughts, words
or deeds; compared its workings to a
stream of pure water constantly pouring
into cesspools Of impurity till the whole
social body may become pure. There will
hereafter be q mothers meeting every
Wednesday at 3:45 pm, at which one OF
the social purity pamphlets will be read and
discussed. All ladies are cordially invited.
The subject Of Mrs. Meriwethers next
lecture will be: GLOW Can We Improve
Our Grandiathes?"
