attended Notwithstanding the in
clement weather. The speakers were
Misses Myra Penn. Josie O'Dell and
Messrs Copeland Sharp, Boothe and
Sharp. Mrs Pyle, Mrs. Leatherwood
and Prof Elicit were the judges. The
medal was deservedly awarded to MIR.
Boothe The music was good. A
vocal solo by Miss Ma Belle Williams
was very much enjoyed. One of the
best things of the evening was a duet,
Samantha and Josiah. by Miss Alice
Redus and Mr.. Holmes. And last, but
not least was select reading from
Josiah Aliens wife at the World 8

Turned to Stone.

Pine Bluff, Ark, is all agog with ex-
element over hefnding of the petri-
fed body of d confederate soldier.
The body was found by a fisherman
on the bank of small stream. He
noticed hand protruding from the
bank and procuring a spade dug out the
remainder OF the body. 1t was perfect
in every detail, showing even the
creases or wrinkles on his feet and
ankles from pair of yarn socks. A
bullet hole though the left side of the
breast showing plainly the cause of
his death. 1t was recollected by old
citizens that struggling Confederate
soldier was slain and buried near this
spot by the Federals, and hence the
supposition as to the identity of the
body. The poor fisherman who found
is reaping a golden harvest by charg-
ling ten cents head for peep at the
curiosity.
The above story is vouched for by
Mr.. A. 9. Rucker Jr, who was in Pine
Bluff when the body was found and
who gave the stone man careful per-
sonal inspection. Ripley Sentinel.

person of Mile. Merode, the young woman
who wears her hair so ecoentrically. Me-
rodes hair in fact, has proved her for
tune, for, although she has an exception
sic featuresand lovely eyes, there Is nothing
about her to attract more attention than
one gives to thousand and one women
equally good looking. Merode has no fig
ure and is painfully thin. Her legs look
like pipe stems and yet she Is coryphee
at the opera. She has no particular tall
ent. But she dresses her hair In an origi-
nal way, and that has given her reputa-
tion. She wears her hair in this odd style,
hanging down on each side of her face,
like Madonna, in private life rs well as
when posing for photographs.
