found in attending the performance
last Saturday night is due to the effort
of F. q. Britton, as it was through him
that the troupe was induced to stop
here. If Mr.. Britton furnishes our
people a few more pleasant entertain
ments he will gain a reputation as a
first class caterer to the amusement
loving public.

Judge II. T. Campbell and Attor-
ney General Dana Harmon, opened
their first term of Court in Jonesboro
Monday. The crowd in town and in
the Court house vas one of the largest
ever seen here at Circuit Court. The
professional horse swappers from the
four quarters of the earth were here
in platoons, ~parading the streets and
occupying the public square to the ex-
clusion of pedestrians. The magni-
tude Of this business will doubles
cause the next Legislature to impose
privilege tax on horse swapping, and
the corporation Of Jonesboro will then
do the same.

represented we believe, still we were
not forgotten. s. II. Anderson, Of
this place, vas elected President OF
the convention and received a telegram
last Thursday afternoon notifying him
