A CHOICE ATTAINMENT.
The Womans' Literary Club of Mena
 Score Another Success.

The book social and supper given at the opera house last night, by the la- dies of our literary club, was pro- nounced success in every particular. At six o'clock supper was served, and from that time until S:30 the tables were crowded with hungry people who were we'll supplied with choice articles of food all nicely prepared.
 The Mena orchestra entertained the guests with fine selections of music, and after supper was over, partners were chosen for grand march around the hall, changing the program by changing partners three minutes for three times.
 The interesting feature of the social was the presentations made of pop ular books, by many ladies and gentle men present, each wearing some de- vice to represent the name of a book. Many of these were quite unique and caused much speculation while trying to guess their meaning.
 After the march ing, the cards of those who had tried to see who could fathom the meaning of the largest mum Der of the designs, were gathered, a committee of three was selected, consisting of Mes danes Landes, Gibbs, and Mir. Roach, who after making the examination, awarded the prize to John Cramer, Esq. This was a nice book. The Scarlet Letter" and was presented by Mrs. T. H. Dunn.
 Miss Nellie Moore then sang solo accompanied cn the piano by Mrs. Chas Pugh, and her singing was so we'll received that she was compelled to respond to an encore. "The Suwanee River" was then rendered by colored boy in costume, as an old man, as- sisted on the chorus by a quar;ette, hidden behind the scenes.
 This, too, was encored, and closed the exercises for the evening.

Horticultural Meeting.

The Horticultural society met last Saturday afternoon in regular session with fair attendance. As there was not a fair representation of wberry growers present 1t was decided not to organize separate association of strawberry growers at least, for the present. Upon inquiry as to condition and prospect of fruit crop, the mem bers responded as follows:
 Wm. Shores thought that peaches were all killed and one variety of apples-the White Winter Pearmain = injured; cherries and plums not all killed. Barragar thought grapes were partially killed; straw berries not in- jured in the least: raspberries killed back more than usual. MT. Cummings said that he had found few peach buds not killed and will have some plums. o. P. Warner said straw ber- ries are all right; will have some peaches.
 Others gave similar reports, all tend ing to show that we will have plenty of small frui. and apples.
 The society adjourned to meet on Saturday, March 25, at 1:3O p. m., at mayors office.

FALSEil
There is no Foundation For Such
 Rumor.

The rumor to the effect that there IS case of small pox in this city is false as false can be, having not the slight est foundation to start upon.
 After making dilligent inquiry. it is impossible to find how or when such a rumor was started, yet people from the country are asking with bated breath about the small pox in Mena?
 The board of health and all the prominent physicians of the city have been interviewed on this subject and all deny in emphatic terms the exist ence of single case m town that has the least sem blence to this disease, or that there has ever been.
