Mr.. L. p. McChesney has taken
out plumbers license, aud will soon
be ready to do a general plumbing
and gas fitting business, so he in
forms us.

electric line also suffered badly,
The ladies of our city have as
much curiosity as the men when it
comes to a fire. Our sidewalks we're
crowded with the dear creatures
this morning looking at the flames.
We had a pleasant call this morn
ing from Editor McNish and wife of
New Lewisville, Arkansas, who are
here on their way to Eureka Springs
to attend the Press Association.
We ought to be able to Dewey
something with that Spanish fleet
for we have Schley, who is 'sly, "
and Sampson, the strong, and this
is all that is needed in a naval bat
tie.
Governor Jones has favored the
Smith family by giving one of them

The Cosmopolitan Hotel in the
last fire had a narrow escape. This,
had it burned, would have been a
great loss to our city and to its pro-

fend stopped its ravages before it
was consumed.
The Spanish feet is reported in
bad condition, and if the American
feet can meet up with them they
will certain not let them escape.
We think this will end the war
when these two fleets meet, and
the Spanish one is destroyed.
Santiago offers just as good in
ducements to the American feet to
convert Spain's fotilla into subma-
rine ships as did Manila Bay. If
Sampson understands the work as
well as did Dewey, we expect to
hear of him completing the job
very soon.
There will be a wedding here on
the 4th OF June, that will 'astonish

nouncement, but would go no far
ther as to details.
The editor makes his best bow
to his friend George sRuss Brown,
manager of that live paper ''The
Cotton Belt" published at Little
Rock, for complimentary write-up,
which was unsolicited; we copy the
very partial article on our second
page with likeness) but fear his
two kind illusions will not be sub
scribed to by our readers who know
us better.
