AJoYous Affair.

One of the happiest and most pleasant affairs ever enjoyed by children was the canly stew tender ed the Lakeside Methodist Sunday school, at the Goza residence on Lakeside, last night. Over one hun dred children were present, and they had all the candy. fruit, fireworks, etc, that they knew how to dispose of. The night was a perfect one, just cool enough to be pleasant out of doors, and the large yard and house in which the children frolicked was a scene of happiness rarely wit messed.
 Mr. Baldoser, proprietor of the famous @Kandy Kitchen" on Main street, made the candy, and it was simply delicious. The little people of the Sunday school, one and all, say they never had better time in their lives.
 It is whispered that Messrs. r. P. Byrd, John NJ. Mccain and George Nmiag were the "Three Graces" of the occasion, and entered into the fun of the entertainment with a greater degree of enthusiasm than any of the "other children" present

Cheap Cow and Hog Feed.

The Pine Bluff Mill X Elevator Co. has on hand a large quantity of corn bran which it will sell at wholesale or retail at at very low price. Corn bran makes an excellent feed forhogs when soured and fed as swill. It is equally effective for cattle and cen be bought for half the prices of corn. The low price Of cattle and hogs this season make it imperative for stock raisers to obtain feed at the lowest values, and all parties engaged in this line will do well to call upon or write the Mill & Elevator Company for prices. 12 b swtf

The question as to the leg ality Of saloon keepers conducting two separate place of business under one license will be given a test this year. As long as the places are under one roof with connecting doors, and done under one name. it Is said to be lawful. But in Pine Bluff dealers in liquors take out license and by cutting a hole in the wall. are en- abled to rent out their whisky license to colored people who con- duet saloon in the adjacent build ing As a consequence the city, county and State is deprived of great revenues, and at the same time many negro dives are allowed to exist in the city. Some measure to suppress this evil practice must certainly be resorted to.

At night the figures on the town clock can now be distinctly seen. This is due to the fact that the in- vention known as the Welsboch burner was on last Monday, sub stituted for the old gas burners formerly used Before this week four gas burners were lighted every night in the clock, but the light made by them was so dim that it was impossible to see the figures on the dial. On Monday, by permission of tho County Judge, the agent for the burner, put in two of the Welsboeh shae burners to substitute the four burners previously used, and, as q result the clock is brilliantly lighted with beautiful clear light, which enables one to see the figures for blocks. The change will also save the county a large gas bill, for in- stead of four gas burners, with the Improvement, only two are now used.

It is stated as 6 reason why the steamship Great Eastern was fail ure from q commercial point of view was that she came q generation too early, but the North German Lloyd Company has under construction seYera. ships which will be about equal to the Great Eastern in carry ing capacity, but slightly inferior in dimensions. Two of these ships, one of which will be named in honor of Frederick the Great, have already been launched. They will have Q length of 500 feet and a capacity of 18,000 tons, but the North German Lloyd Company has decided to build another ship that will be by far the largest steamer ever put afoat. It will be a twin screw ship of 10000 tons displacement, 625 feet long and fitted with engines of 28,000 horse power. These vessels eclipse the Great Eastern in carrying capacity.

Prof. Hermann was assuredly q high-roller. Though he made from $7O, ,OO0 to 800, 900 every season, Mrs. Hermann, with her council, has appeared before the surrogate, and, in applying for letters of adminis- tration, declares that the property of the estate is not worth more than $2,000. The magician squandered all his gains on theater leases and purchases, a steam yacht, numer- ous carriages and horses, town and country house, and extraya- gant living generally. Even his life insurance is hypothecated for money borrowed. So, he was much more cunning with his hand than with his head.
 It appears that the records of the Secretary of States office at Albany, New York, for 1896, show thatithe total amount of capital invested in new companies during tho year az gregates $285, ,0O0,0OO the most pro- life in the matter of new stock cor porations in the history of the State-quite remarkable in view of the so-called hard times. Among the largest are the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company with @ capital of $20, 1000, ,OOO, and the New York Tele- phone Company with a capital of $16, GOO, 900.

When MT. Bryan came out of the campaign it was understood that he had incurred considerable money obligations which he was naturally desirous of discharging. The tempt ing offer of a lecture tour seemed to be the easiest and quickest way out of his difficulties. Many of MT. Bryan's admirers feared that he would descend to q common com mercial standing by going on the lecture platform and thus fall out of the presidential and statesman class. It is now intimated that Mr. Bryan does not care to pursue fur sther the lecture scheme. If this is his view and determination it is doubtless the result of some such reflection as that just suggested. Mr. Bryan's fame and attainments ought now easily to command re- munerative recognition either at the bar or in purely literary pursuits. Houston Post.
