FACTS AND RANCHES.

Russet complexions are now much worn in connection with tanned shoes. The former are rather more expensive than the latter, and there is really no limit to the amount sometimes paid for them.
 That tired feeling 80 much in request in the spring and early summer is now considered pasee, and in It's place strong and elastic sensations are wide ly affected
 Persons with stern purses find it con- yenient to wear a gloomy expression trimmed with corrugated brows. The cutting is on the bias and usually by old acquaintances.
 Court plasters of varying hues to suit the taste of the wearer, are much af- fected by the devotees of the wheel, while tetanus is quite common with persons who have been struggling with golf dialect.
 Shoes which were formerly worn with the sole carried horizontally now appear with their heels on a bias, and pantaloons formerly of dull surface are now seen with quite glossy ex- terlor.
 It is still quite common with young gentlemen to wear their names as we'll as their hair parted in the middle. In the case Of some gentlemen no longer youthful the parting of the hair is done with a towel.
 One of the freaks of fashion apropos of the dlsmemberment of China, Is to have the house plentifully supplied with broken dishes. The lady of the kitchen is usually charged with the duty Of supplying these. with very gratifying results.

as Few Words to Say About the

To the Public
 The assertions made in the news Saoers and upon the streets anc 6ther places to the effect that woold not prosecute violators of the Sunday liquor law are unqualiiedly ia lse
 I dld, however, relax my rule after
 had been importuned and implored Every day by petitions and personal a eas from some of the very best itizens of this county. Their con tinual pleas in behalf of the saloon nen and the agreement that the sehool fund should receive $60 per 8nontb additional revenue is the on- s excuse I can offer for the relaxa- tson of the rule, except that while 8fhese petitioners were after me ey- 4Fy day, and they were as good man as there are in the State, l received .no encouragement from the citizens 0r newspapers in my effort to en- Eiorce the law.
 Notwithstanding the fact that for tbe last twenty-five years the Sun dby law has been violated and the aoons stood wide open, and not II tbstanding the fact that immed- steIg upon gong into office, I de Banded that the law be observed nDtwitastaod'"g all these thlngs, I nbt oa.y sevd. la eo encouragement In mY efforts, but upon the other AAnd the strongest appeals were md. to me by represen tative men ulen of strict morals and high integ- allow the old system to con- thue 1T l have erred it has bfen Wth the advice of some of the best fizehs of our urcommunity,a and whom 9Ae community could not we'll do A5slout, and whose advice and iadg- iaent i5 considered the best in our bDsiaess community.
 Notwithstanding all that. I have ngt said I would not prosecute the 1F,lators of this law, and never will say so; and I challenge any living nEln on this earth to say ever did Inhke sueA statement.
 Notwithstanding the strictest wig Ilpnce up' the part of the officers to sltiorce this law, 1 was assuredgthat tbe law was being continually vio- Iated, by parties who professed to Apow, but absolutely refused to go apon the witness stand and swear [.

ED RUSSELL
Says He Was Not Killed by Switch
 Engine at Jonesboro,

The following telegram we ip from the Arkansas Gazetteo of today s issue:
 Jonesboro, Jan. 23.-Ed Russell was run over by q switch engine yesterday morning while asleep on the track. His right leg aud foot was'horribly mangled. He died last night. His people in Pine Bluff ignored telegrams and Russell was buried in potter's field today.
 A thought entered our mind upen first glance at the above item, that probably Mr. Ed Russell, of this city, was in Jonesboro on business and met with the fatal accident.
 Our reporter was sent out to ir- vestigate the matter and ran against MT. Ed Russell in the rru- lock hotel corridor.
 He instantly denied having been killed by an engine and concluded with the statement ltbat the new compress would be in operation by May 1st, and the present work of construction is progressing very nicely.
 The deceased was no kin what ever to the Messrs. Russell, of this city.

TWYMAN--PLACE.
Suburban Home Of {. B. Webb
Destroyed by Fire.
Total Loss of the House and Its
Contents-rlr. Webb'S
Marrow Escape.

The suburban residence of MIR.
C. b. Webb, at 1857 South Main
street, was burned before daylight
Tuesday morning. Mr.. Webb was
in the house alone at the time, Mrs.
Webb being on a visit to relatives
IN Louisville.
He was aroused from bed in an
upper room by the smoke coming
from the room below. He had only
time to seize his clothing and rush
down the stairway through a cloud
of sitting smoke and succeeded in
making his way TO the front door
almost suffocated with the smoke.
He had no time to save anything
and the contents of the building
were a total loss.
The alarm was turned in, but as
the fire was a mile from the engine
house the flames had gained much
Roadway before the department
could reach the scene. The de-
struction of the house was complete,
though some of the outbuildings
and the conserv atory were saved.
The property was purchased
some years ago from Mr.. Jno. A.
Twyman and the house was re-
modelled and improved and the
premises greatly beautified. Mr..
and Mrs. Webb had spent much
money and exercised great taste in
improving it and it was a most
attractive suburban home.
Mr.. Webb estimates his loss at
So. 500 to $4,000. Long, Kelly &
Starting had $4,000 policy on the
house and Wallace IL Moore $1,000
on the contents.
The fire originated from the CRATE
below, in the sitting room, as this
was the only fire in the house.
