YALE sOPHOMORES.

The Stovepipe Hats and Canes Were
 Out.
 The sophomores proceeded to cele- brate Washingtons birthday in the usual manner. About 10 o'clock in the morning fifty or more of them gathered at their fence, adorned by the tradi- tional "stovepipe" and carrying cane for protection. In a few minutes they started to parade the campus and the green, and then returned to have their pictures taken at the fence. By a flank movement they secured posses sion of the only snowpile on the cam pus, at the corner of Battell, where they were besieged by members of the other classes.
 Owing to the hot fire of snowballs to which theywere exposed they were un- able to have their picture taken on the fence, as is usually done, but were talk en as they stood in front of the chapel. The fight lasted until 12 o'clock, when, the snow being exhausted and the mud being too disagreeable for good throw" ing, the fighters gradually withdrew and left the campus in possession of the professors, who had vainly tried to stop the fight sooner.

 Factory and Cotton Gin.

Last Monday the Hudgins Bros, who have been operating a houring mill and other enterprises at Dallas, purchased lots l2, 13 and II, in block 62, upon which to erect frst-class Touring mill and cotton gin.
 These gentlemen will cause work to begin at once on the mill, having already negotiated tor and ordered new roller process machinery, and all other modern machinery to make it first-class in every particular.
 The wheat crop in this and adjoin- ing counties is excellent this year and it is the intention of the Hudgins Bros. to take the entire crop, making mar ket at Mena for all that is grown, which will be good news for the farm CTS. The location of those mills will be on the block where the artesian well was sunk, the we'll being still owned by the Townsite Company.
 A WAGON AND CARRIAGE FACTORY.
 The gentlemen also purchased lots 16 and IF, in block 60, at the corner of DeQueen street and Martin avenue for the purpose of increasing their black. smith shop aud starting a wagon fac tory where they will also put in large turning lathe
 The establishing of these enter prises here by the Hudgins Bros, takes their entire business interest from Dallas and locates it all at Mena with new machinery and largely increased facilities for the business.

THE MENA LUTHER COMPANY.
A Change in Ownership Extensive
 improvements Will Follow.

The Mena Lumber Company, which has been owned and managed by the NJ. K. and T, Trust Cv. since the loca- tion of Mena, was sold last week to S. T. Morton, of Kansas City.
 MT. Morton is an extensive whole sale lumber dealer, of Kansas City, and the purchase of the lumber yard and blaming mill at this point only adds one more establishment to large list which he owns in this southern tim Der country. He is a gentleman of capital, energy and ability. He makes every business he takes hold of grow and benefit the locality in which it is located as well as it's owner. The work of building the switch to the blaming mill is to be completed inn lnediately, and new and improved ma chinery is to be added to the excellent plant now in operation. The capacity for turning out lumber will be more than doubled This will call for a much larger force of men both at the plain- ing mill and in the yards. The com pany is in the market for all the rough lumber produced around Mena and will ship from points all along the railroad. The retail yards will also be increased and special attention given to this branch of the business on a cash basis
 Mir. A. M Flnney, of Kansas City, who is well known here, having fre- quently visited the city while looking after the business of the NJ. K and T. Trust Company, has accepted the po- sition of manager since the change and is new in charge. As an accom- modating, energetic up-to-date busi- ness man, Mr Finney cannot be too highly recommended. Mrs. Kinney IS with her husband and they expect to build residence and make Mena their permanent home and it is needless to say they will be warmly welcomed into Mena's social and business circles.

Second Crop of Strawberries.

During the last ten days our straw berry growers have been bringing many crates of straw berries to market here, they being second crop of this years growing. They are mostly of the Mitchell variety and are very large and nice and of excellent flavor The first crop of this variety commenced ripening the last of April and the crop was fully matured by May 10, and since that time the vines have put forth new blooms and rIpened a nice second crop.
 Surely this is the home of the straw berry and there are few sections that can equal it.
