Upon this representation several persons bought of Mason. He turned out to be a fraud, and the nursery people are now trying to collect for their trees.

Knocked Out by the Calendar.

Some of the boys are isclined to think that we were celebrating last week. in advance of the Fourth. because we had the week days little mixed. and changed the 4th to Sunday instead of Tuesday. Owing tO a healthy public sentiment which is in favor of letting it come on Tuesday as advertised in the calendar, We have concluded to withdraw whatever has been said to the contrary aud let her come. We have concluded to du this because, be- sides having received numerous and sundry sOlicitous inquiries from citl- 1enS at home, we have the following letter from couple of the boys in Memphis, and we don't care to break into their arrangements:

 Will Bell and A. E. Pipkin have also re- turned from school, looking much recu- perated in the upper vocabulary Look out for jaw breakers, and college slang. We have one of the finest vocalists in Eastern Arkansas, considering the limited training, in the person of Miss Minnie Hood, who) was raised only a short dis tance from Haynes. No one expected to hear such good singing among home tal- ent. However she not only surprised one, but all, at a recent rehearsal of the exer- cises of children's day. We hope by men, tiOning the above that no one will consider it as an intrusion, but will awake the peo- pie to realize the value of home talent May she become a star in the musical world, is the wish of her friends.
