Events Of the Coming Year.

The coming year will be a period
memorable in the history ofthe world
If but part of the plans of the Uni
ted States Government and Europe
an nations is carried out In the
United States, there will be the live
liest presidential campaign ever held ,
and the Fifty-fourth congress, now
in session, will furnish exceedingly
interesting debates on the tariff and
financial questions until June. There
will be several exciting state
elections and many great political
speeches. Every one will watch
with interest the progress of the Ven
ezuelan commission g inquiry, the re
suits of the wars in Cuba, in South
Africa, in Turkey, and the outcome
of other complications now arising
in the Old World.
1t is a remarkable coincidence that
at the beginning of a year of such
rich promise of stirring news the great
est metropolitan newspaper in the
United States The st. Louis Repub-
lie, should reduce it's price to S6 a
year, or to less than two cents a day.
This low price now places the Re
public within the reach OF everyone.
Those who wish to keep posted on
politics. trade, national and interna-
tional affairs, during 1896, should at
once subscribe for il on these terms,
in addition to taking their own local
paper.
Newspaper readers who may think
they cannot afford to take "a metro
politan daily paper, should at once
subscribe for the "Twice a Weekn
Republic-1O4 papers a year, for only
81 year. 1t contains the best OF
everything that appears in the daily.

Just Q Marriage.

An old negro named Nanny who had
taken day off, in order to attend that
most important function among Afro

The Nashville students.

The above comedy company, com
posed entirely of oolored people,
gave a performance at the opera
house last evening, which delighted
all present. Many of the features
were excellent and elected round
after round of applause. The banjo
song and dance by Smith and John
son has seldom been equaled in Pine
Bluff. The Serpentine dance by. Mrs.
Ida Lee Wright, merited the ap-
plause she received. The slack wire
performance by John Stewart was
extremely good. And Jas. White,
when on the stage, kept the audi
ence in an uproar of laughter. He
is a natural comedian, and il a white
man possessed his ability in that line,
he would take rank among the stars
in the minstrel world. p. q. Low
cry is the master OF the cornet and
his solos on that instrument called
for great applause and he was
compelled to respond to several en-
cores.-Pine Bluff (Arkansas) Graph
