Jumbo Millinery Opening.

One Of the social events of the sea-
son was the millinery opening last
night at the Jumbo store. Nothing
new under the sum- does not go at this
wide awake emporium and Vinita's
people are not slow to appreci-
ate merit and were not dis
appointed in this instance. The
decorations were MT only fault
less, but called forth the admiration
of every spectator; in fact, such artis-
tic draping and harmonizing of colors
showed the touch OF artists hands.
Yes, they had a millinery opening, and
showed the public as pretty hats as
feminine hearts ever yearned for, made
by their lady in charge from all the
latest Partisan and Berlin patterns
STYLES no two alike-and colOrs that
are in vogue this season. "A place
for everything, and everything in its
place" looks well on the old-time
darning bag, and it's just as good if
you turn it around and say the fright
thing in the right place" That's
what the Jumbo hit when it gave
dainty mirrors for "mi lady's" dress
ing case, and pinned buttonaires on
the gallants and their girls, ,and served
tea and cakes to all, and there was a
multitude.

Death of Husband and Wife.

The wife OF W. B. Taylor, whose
home has been in the northern part Of
this nation for quite a number of
years, died on the 10th inst, near
Springfield, H., where she was visit
ing relatives OF pneumonia. Three
days later the husband died with the
same disease. Both husband and wife
were useful members of society, be-
longed 10 the Presbyterian church and
took an active part in Sunday school
work also. They leave a daughter
and two sons who have the sympathy
Of the entire community. Mr.. Taylor
was a successful stock man and did a
large business in buying and shipping
mules and horses.

Spring Opening.

Monday night, the first pleasant one
for something like two weeks. saw the
spring millinery and dry goods open
ing of w. II. Badgett. Preparations
for the pleasure Of the public had
been carefully made and included vo-
cal and instrumental music, the be-
stOwal of natural flowers, the serving
of elegant refreshments by two charm
ing young ladies, Miss Goodykoontz
and Miss Fannie Byrd, and an clabo-
rate decking of the store. And antic-
ipating pleasant evening the ladies
of the city were present-it seemed
from the jam that none had remained
away. The display of millinery, be-
cause Of the state Of the weather, was
like stepping into beautiful green
house in the heart of winter and it is
not impossible produced better im-
preston than had the opening taken
place during the preceding, summer
like days. The bright tints and cheer
fulness Of the hats, bOnnetS, flowers
and ribbons seemed to add life and Vi
yacity to the spirits of the guests and
the scene really put on the appearance
of reception, which indeed it was,
and not altogether a business func
tion. Mr.. Badgett and his force Of
assistants showed every attention to
those present and by their smiling
countenances showed plainly that
they recognized success, when they
saw it,

@. d. Guuter Dead.

| Z. ID. Gunter, one OF the Oldest ana
best known citizens of northwest Ar
kansas, died at his homestead at Hico
near Sloan Springs Sunday evening,
the twenty-seventh instant, of heart
failure. Had he lived until Wednes-
day, the thirtieth, he would have
reached eighty years, and had resided
on the same place for more than fifty
years. On the seventh of February
last he suffered a violent attack of
palpitation of the heart, which threat
ened to carry him off Immediately, but
he rallied from the effects of the first
attack, but lived in great suffering,
and constant expectation of death till
the end came on last sabbath evening
at eight o'clock.
Mr.. GunteF was the father OF large
family-two sons and seven daughters,
five of whom reside in this city. Fifty
two years ago deceased married Nancy
Ward, daughter of James Ward
Cherokee, well known in the annals Of
the tribe, and descendant OF tie. IA
nous Granny" Ward, the maternal
ancestor of perhaps the largest family
connection in the Cherokee nation.
Mr.. Gunter was man of marvellous
energy and force of character, and was
distinguished for his rugged honesty
and uucompromising deviation TO prin-
ciple. But those qualities of mind
and heart which 50 endeared him TO
his children, and those near to him
by the ties of friendship and conSan-
guinity, were in measure unseen and
therefore unknown to the general
public. His large family Of grown-up
children, with their children To the
third generation, and by whom he was
surrounded, saw him in the unguardcd
privacy of his home life, and believed
and knew him to be one of the purest
of men, one of earth's nobility. The
great beauty of his character was ex-
hibited in its fullnesS in the bosom OF
his family, where he so delighted TO
indulge in all the feryor and delicacy
of the fine feeling of which his warm
heart and noble spirit was so capable.
From the day lie was first stricken
he seemed TO fully realize that his
sickness was unto death, and through
the long-drawn days and weeks of ter
rible suffering that intervened, he
looked with calm courage TO the end,
and was as eager for the final sum-
mons To come rs child would be TO
start on a pleasant stroll through the
fields on some bright May morning.
He faced death like hero, and de-
clared his willingness to go. Like one
who had lOitered in the market places
during the morning hours Of life, was
at last obedient to the call of the
Master to go work in His vineyard at
the eleventh hour, aud so professed
faith in risen redeemer, and urge d
his kindred and friends TO not neglect
to prepare to meet him beyond the
mystic river.
Perhaps no man was ever held in
higher esteem, or treated with greater
veneration and respect by his family,
and his death removes the central fig
ure around which clustered the ten
derest ties, and the most sacred mem-
ories known to the human soul. The
chief attraction at the old home has
been removed, and the charm of many
a Joyous visit at the old roOf-tree
sleeps silently and peacefully where
loving, tender hands have laid him.
