preciated We are not artist enough
to properly describe this splendid ef-
fort, but the beautiful tints. the deli
cate shades, the wonderfully life-like
portrayal OF the pathetic central figure
were apparent t0 even. eur unframed
eyes, We congratulate Mrs. Prude
upon this evic+nee OF her great talent.
Slle.is Forrest City girl, and we are
all proud of her. The picture is in

Messrs. Sol Lewis and O. H. Roll
wage returned this morning from the
meeting Of the grand hodge Of the
knights Of Honor at Little Rock.
They report All un usually earnest and
business like session. which accom-
plished much good for the order. NJ.

Mrs. Il. l. Eaaakn and children
went to Memphis Friday to visit rela-
tives and friends. She had conterl!ss
plated going Saturday. but owing 10 :
tie appearance of small pox in the oisv
she left one day earlier than she wnsiid 1
otherwise have done. although not IN,
the least afraid of the pest. blltsffnew<p
that She might be prevented h5:sssslar-
| am ire from taking II trip thatsfie saws
she has had in contemplation four
| years. 1t WAS all mistake about
any of The TINES folks having the
small pox, and the probability thereof
very remote, though :tson of our cook is
said to have had vhrioloid at her home
three blocks north of us. This may be
true. bat the bpy has not been confined
| to his bed and has not been al enough
To require the attention of physician.
| We are aH VA ccinated an}have taken
every precaution to ward'oH tire pest
hence We have little fear of an attack.
and Mrs. V. viii no doubt complete
her visit as originally contemplated.
