Characteristic Bravado.

A Plummerville correspondent oi the Little Rock Gazette says:
 'sThe saloons here, three in nun Der are still open in the face of District Attorney Davis' published announce. ment that they must close in accord. ance with the act of the legislature ex- tending prohibition ten miles from Morriltoh. This act they claim is sc unjust and illegal, as applying to their licenses, that they are willing to risk the consequences"
 As an indication of what the con. sequences is likely to be we quote from an exchange:
 Judge Grant Green, Jr., has re. yersed the decision of the county court of St. Francis county in the Prohibi. ton Petition case, and had an order entered prohibiting the sale of intoxi- eating liquors within three miles Of Forrest City for period of two years, It is said five saloons have been selling without license since January, not wthstanding the fact that each paid S1 ,500 municipal, county and state Ii. cense. The decision of Judge Green says that the county judge had no right to issue license when he was petitioned by a majority of the inhabitants not to issue license and the supreme court is with Judge Green"
 The notice the Prosecuting Attorney gave the saloon men through the news papers of Morrilton was not in the nature of a demand or even request to close their saloons, but was simply intended as kindness to the saloon men to advise them of the law in the case and their liability, and It is & mat ter of indifference to him whether they close their saloons or not. The Prose- cutting Attorney has no power to close these saloons, the matter being entirely in the hands of the grand jury of Com way county.

A Court Room Scene How the Girls Made The Men
 Weep.


 DardanelIe Post. One of the most heartrending courtroom scenes ever witnessed occurred the other day Tn Clarksville in the trial of Sarah J.. J. Light, who was convicted of in. voluntary manslaughter and her punishment assessed at six months in the penitentiary,
 The offense consisted in the de fendant conccaling the birth ot an illegitimate infant. Mrs. Light is a widow whose home is in Fourche valley.
 Throughout the long and tedious trial the poor woman was comforsed by the presence of her two little daughters aged respectively ten and twelve years. They wereneatly dress cd, ,tidy, sunny faced little girls,devot- ed to their mother, and by their sweet manners had provoked gen eral admiration and much attention. The trial, as all such trials do, drag ged it's slow length along to the final close and the court instructed the jury. The attorneys argued the case and the jury retired. Few can appreciate the torture of suspense so well as those who have waited for jury to deliberate to settle and de cide their fate. It is fearful anguish. The soul now slckening with fear, now lifting with hope, alternating back and forth from the brightness of hope to the darkness of despair.
 But finally the jury filed slowly in and stood in line before the judges stand. "Gentlemen, have you agreed upon a verdictp' "We have, your honor" replied the foreman. Hand It to the Clerk" and the Clerk reads ::
 "We, the jury, find the defendant guilty as charged and assess her punishment at six months in the penitentiary.'
 As the last fateful words fell from the lips of the clerk the air was cleft by a shrill shriek--a long keen burst of pent up agony--that raised the hair on every head startled eve " listener within hundred yards of the court house; and the woman feli back in dead faint- The lit tie girls clung to their mothers in sensible form, pressed their stream ing faces to her lifeless bosom, and with depth of desolation like the despair of lost soul they walled out: "Mammal mamma! mamma! ! What will we do, Where will we go Who'll take us home?'
 The entire court room-judge. ju ry, prosecuting attorney, lawyers, bystanders and all--broke down in tears and melted into compassion. The verdict was set aside by the court and new trial granted, after which the charge was dismissed by the prosecuting attorney and the woman is now free and happy.

To ". L. D..

To w. l.. D.:
 Dear Sir:-Yours to hand, con tents noted. As you are well aware the present lease is not out tlll May 10, 1893. And as the next legisla ture meets January 1893, (before the present lease is out), think it would be best to let the Governor and his board advertise but not let them out tin the next legislature meets. And when they meet am in favor of purchasing some 5000 acres land some ten or twelve miles from Little Rock and moving the penitentiary out near some railroad on a good healthy place and then build good penitentiary and put hands to work on our land, do our own work and if one penitsntiary ain't enough, build two and sort out convicts and work old hard cases in one and the young men in another. Keep them apart and furnish good books and papers for the young to read. Furnish them with Chap lain and good physician. We will have less expense and show more mercy h that way than any other that l can study ont. I am opposed to the present prison as it IS ex posed to all con taglous diseases that might break ont in the city of Little Rock. As Little Rock is building all around 1t now. think that pres ent penitentlary and grounds will sell for enough to pay all expenses of new site and grounds and our own labor to do the work. I under stand that conyicts on the farms now are allowed to play cards and do any kind of wickedness they want to, so they work. I am opposed to them being allowed to play any kind of a game. l am in favor or improv ing them morally if possible.
 Respectfully Yours,
 J. M. HARKEY.

THREW VITRIOL In HIS FACE.
A Mother Metes Terrible Punishment to the
Be:rayer of Her Daughter.

GALIATIN. Tenn. Oct. IA sensational
incident occurred here to-day. Some time
ago Miss Minnie Overton. well known IN
eociety circles. charged Samuel II. Elliott,
n popular young man of the county. whose
father is Attorney general l.. X. Elliott,
the eloquent lawyer and preacher. with
being the cause of her ruin. He refused to
marry her. This afternoon. at 5
o'clock. Elliott was in the store
of w. Witherspoon, on the square.
when Mrs. Archie w. Overton. mother of
the girl. entered and walking up to Elliott
without a word. dashed tine contents of a
large bottle of vitriol or sulphuric acid into
his face. 1t struck him square between the
eyes and spread all over his face. In ten
minutes his left eye was entirely destroyed
and il is thought his other eye Will be- lost.
His face was horribly burned. He did
not fall and only spoke TO ask for
some oil. Doctors were summoned and he
was removed TO the residence of his sister.
Mrs. May Knight. where he now lies In
great suffering Mrs. Overton at once left
the store. The Overtons are well known
throughout the State. Miss Minnie Over
ton is a decidedly handsome and well-edu-
Gated brunette about twenty-five years of
age. She was very popular In society. and
her downfall was a source of sorrow to
many warm friends.
