Got It Overheard.

Once wilhelm foreign port Admiral
Dewey ordered the heaviest hoisting
tackle in the ship to be got out Of the
hold without delay. Nobody knew what
1T was for, as there was nothing just at
that time, either heavy or light, to be
taken on board or sent ashoSe. After
two hours hard work the tackle was
IN place, and Dewey then ordered that
large chew of tobacco which had been
thrown under one of the guns be hoist
ed overheard and dumped into the sea.

NEWS OF WEST SIDE

NEWS OF WEST SIDE||
Miss Nettie Dannatt is visiting her
sister, Mrs. Payne, and family.
The line men moved their head
quarters to Vail early in the week.
Geo. Gary and wife returned to their
home in Wheaton, Illinois, on Tuesday.
Mrs. McIntire, of Boone, is spending
a few days with the old folks at home.
Mrs. A. Dean and son went to Dun
lap Wednesday to visit a short time
among relatives.
Conductor Wheeler is laying off on
account Of sickness. w. McNiel took
his train out Wednesday.
We are informed that Professor b.
G. Hess will occupy the pulpit in the
NJ. E. church next Sunday.
The steel gang has finished the work
between West Side and Vail and is now
engaged in laying ties and fixing up the
track.
We are informed that one of our bus
mess men profted by the Letter deal'
to the amount of sixteen hundred
dollars.
E. j. McGowen is spending a few
days with Mr.. Gary and looking after
the interests of his firm among our
stock men.
The man who opened up the clothing
store stayed about week. From here
he went to Schaller to sell the natives
cheap clothes.
Our hotels have been crowded to their
upmost capacity the last few weeks.
The extra work on the railroad brought
them rich harvest.
We have noticed good many people
out of town the last few days. The
fairs at Denison and Omaha have been
the great drawing cards.
Miss Grace Stevens and brother,
Earl, of Lake View, visited ii. G..
Smith and family on their way to the
Denison and Omaha fairs.
Mr.. d. j. Mcconnell is back home
again and we are pleased to notice him
much improved in health, evidently his
visit among his children must have
done him good.
Chas. Welsher worked two nights at
he ''V' tower and had no trouble in
holding the job down. The tower was
closed Thursday morning at a. m.
This leaves Mr.. Welsher temporarily
without work.
The republican party has every rea-
son to be satisfied with the work of the
Denison convention. The delegates
put a strong ticket into the field and
one that ought to win. We hope the
candidates will take time to go over the
county and make house to house visit
as it will do them great deal of good
to touch elbows with the people and
the voters in turn will be pleased to
meet their representatives. This is an
off year and the winning party will
need to do some hard work.
The school board of the independent
district of West Side met at Telling
hams Office Monday evening. The
bills which were presented for painting,
cleaning and repairing the building
were carefully examined and allowed
A. z. Fellingham was unanimously
elected secretary for the ensuing year.
Every line of school work is moving
along satisfactory and you may expect
some good work during the year. The
secretary's report showed that there are
1l6 male and only IS female children.
This was commented upon by the
school board as being curious fact.

The people of Little Rock
have all gotten together IN
an effort to give the citizens
of the state the grandest
festival of fun ever attempt
ed in our midst, They have
compressed Mardi-Gras and
Washington's Birthday into
one, and under the auspices
OF the Board of Trade the
various committees, clubs,
and societies are arranging
a magnificent series of enter
tainments for February I'D.
On that day and night the
city will be turned over to
King Pctraculus, and Mayor
Woodson will become a
subject instead Of a ruler
The King will arrive on his
flagship during the morning,
and the keys of the city will
be delivered to him about
noon, There will be both
day and night professions
masquerade balls, and all IN
all a regular carnival of fun
The event is one Of such
magnitude and has proven
to be so great an attraction
that all the railroads have
made a one fare rate for the
round trip, a lower rate than
given to either the Memphis
or New Orleans carnival.
We have too few holidays,
and all who visit Little
Rock are sure to have a
great time, for there is every
indication that there will be

The legislature made a
serious mistake in not setting
aside a suitable fund to be
used by the board Of health
in case Of emergency. In
the yellow fever districts of
Mississippi grave fears are
entertained lest the mild
Niuter should fail to freeze
out the germs Of the disease
and there should be a re-
newal Of the old scare next
spring, Arkansas should
provide against any possible
emergency within its own
borders. We may not need
any fund with which to con-
tend against contagious
disease, but if we should
need it we might need it very
badly.-Arkansas Democrat,

Diversified farming has
two great advantages over
that which is confined to one
or two specialties. If the
different crops are properly
chosen there will be a sue
cession Of marketing to be
done through the year, and
also something to be done
on the farm to keep its
labor employed at all times
Where the speciality only is
grown, though it may bring
a good deal of money when
sold, mosto of this has already
been expended during the
season while the crop was
being grown. This is the
difficulty with the Southern
planter who depends wholly
on his cotton crop. After
the expense of making it is
deducted the planter has less
ready money than if he had
more crops, 50 as to be able
to sell something every
month in the year.

Pie becoming Extinct.

Pie Is becoming extinct. In the better
hotels and restaurants IL occupies a
less and less conspicuous place on the
bill of fare. n very often il not even
mentioned in any of it's Infinite va
rieties. In private homes. too the pie
eating habit is distinctly on the wane.
and its place at dessert Is taken by
puddings. custards and ices.
The lunch counter Is really the only
place in which pie holds it's old-time
position and forms the browning bits
of a hasty unch. The millionaire and
the callow office boy were always most
given to the pie habit. and many of
them are still faithful to the standard
cuts, but the great majority have given
up allegiance to the dyspeptic dainty.
Yes. pie is going u of date" said
an old ~estaurant man regretfully.
Time was when six kinds OF pie were
not considered too much for one days
bill of fare. and now our cook makes
but two varieties per day. What
causes this decline OF pie?
We'll. that Is a hard question to an
swer, but | think the great cutlery
about its unheaithfulness has had "A
good deal to do with II. For years
the doctors n the papers have been
telling Americans that they were be-
coming a race OF dysptptics because
they loved pie. not wisely but too well.
The New Englanders and New Workers
were wont To think no meal was COM
plete without pie. and they used to tell
a story Of an old man. who. when dy-
ing. said that he felt proud to say that
he had been married for so years. and
had never sat down to a meal without
pie"
Other hotel and restaurant keepers of
the better class confirmed the state
ment that pie had lost its prestige as
a favorite dessert. Some believed that
the wide range OF delicate dessert
dishes now known to even the most
ordinary cooks. was responsible for it's
decline, but the larger number said
that so little pie was really good. and
II had gained such a bad name as a
promoter of dyspepsia and stomach
troubles, that II had lost its popular
lily because people had grown afraid to
eat it.-Chicago Chronicle.
