Aitheimer Bros. Win.

The celebrated fire insurance suits of Aftheimer Bros, of Pine Bluff, vs twenty weight companies, and involving about $50, 900, has been finally disposed of in the state supreme court by a yer dict against the companies.
 These suits have been dragged about various courts by the companies for the last four years. They were beaten in every court The court in rendering it's opinion stated that the Juries in the lower courts on the evidence, could not decide but in favor of the insured.
 Althe inner Bros, who were among the larg- est dry-goods dealers and landowners in the state, burned out in 1890 but remained in busi- ness until 1898. when. upon the failure of the companies 10 settle, they were forced to close their doors. Their assets then showed about &300. 900 against about SI000O0 liabilities The forced suspensions, overfows and low price of cotton depreciated their assets to a large ex- tent, but the decision of the courts will never theless enable them to pay their debts in full

NORTHWEST SECTION.

Heavy rains prevailed throughout this sec ton during the early part of the week. but were not so heavy as in other sections of the state and did not continue quite as long. Only few correspondents report damage from the rains. but all report that 1t has seriously re- tarded blowing and planting and 1t will, push farmers to the utmost to keep up with their york.
 Wheat and oats are growing nicely and stool ing we'll. But very little corn is planted, but work has about been resumed and will be pushed energetically.
 The greater part of the peach and plum trees in the more northern counties have not bloomed at all and are seriously in jured. In the more more southern counties fair crop was anticipated. but it is believed shat the late low temperature has killed the buds and the crop will be . failure.

of Girls.

1t is a lady's place to recognize a gen
tleman first. as it depends on her
whether the acquaintance continues or
not.
In entering a room the gentleman
always follows the young lady.
Always rise for an older person.
The young lady always seats herself
first before any gentleman will do SO.
In making introductions the young
man is always presented to the girl,
never the other way round.
Never introduce any young mar to
your girl friends without first asking
their permission. and then say: Miss
D.. | want to present tor INTRODUCED Mr..

Sad Result of Attempting to Speak q
Language He Didn't Know.

Language lie Didn't Know.
A correspondent who has returned
from the Antwerp exhibition. narrates
an adventure which befell two English
men there. He says: Two very pre-
sentable, well-dressed gentlemen, who
bore the stamp of Englishmen in face,
figure. clothes and easy-going air. en-
tered the restaurant where | was sit
ting, and one of them called ont in
self-contident tones, which could be
heard easily 1T the neighboring tables,
what was undoubtedly intended to be
'Garc0n. Deux bocks,' but which
sounded: 'Gassong. too bo.' 'Oui, non
sieur,' replied the waiter, as he rushed
into the inner room.
The two gentlemen engaged in ami
cable conversation over the table for
about five minutes, when it struck
them hat the waiter was a long time
with their beer. 'Gassong" was again
shouted. 'Oui. monsieur answered the
waiter. Lay too do, 81 VOC play 'Oui,
monsieur, tout de suite replied the
Belgian. and once more rushed into the
other apartment. Again the two Eng
lishmen engaged in conversation for
five or six minutes, and again M of
them shouted Indignantly: 'Gassong.
lay too DO"
The waiter rushed behind the scenes
with more violence than ever, and in
two minutes returned with a triumph
ant face to place before the astonished
visitors two plates of boiled turbot.
They looked at the man and next at
the fish and then, with the help more
of signs than of words, managed to
explain to the waiter that they wanted
beer-bocks-not turbot- The situa-
ton was an embarrassing one for all
concerned, and l could not help think
