The newest short walking skirts have the
facing Of the cloth and stitching as in the
past. but the latter. instead Of being a half
inch or inch apart and the full depth Of the
facing. are set IN two groups and quite close
together, the lowest row being several inch

A colored nan, who had con
federate, went into 7. S. Mullins &
Co. s store yesterday, and while one
of the pair was purchasing five
cents worth ofsomething, the other
one was hiding under his coat an IS
silk skirt. The skirt was missed
soon after they left and Marshal
Casey was put on to the case. He
went to work and soon got on the
track where the negro tried to sell
the skirt, and finally did run down
the place where the skirt was dis
posed of. He returned the skirt to
the store and arrested a couple of
negroes whom he suspected as be-
ing the pair in the Mullins store.
He tells us that he is satisfied he
has one of the parties-the one who
stole the skirt-but is not certain
about the other one. 1t is said
that articles are stolen daily from
the stores in this manner by ne
groes.

COL JOHN G. FLETCHER.

Yesterday this paper reproduced
the address of Col. John G. Fletcher,
to the people of Arkansas, in the
interest of his candidacy for the
high office of Governor. As we have
heretofore espoused his cause, be
lieving him to be the best qualified
aud fitted for the office, of those be-
fore our people, it afforded us pleas
ure to publish his platform. The ad-
dress contains many admirable
ideas, which if carried into effect,
will greatly benefit grand old Ark
ansas.
Col. Fletcher we opine has done as
much for the upbuilding of our
commonwealth. as any man within
its confines. He has spent his
money and brains for her, whenever
and wherever it was possible to do
good. He is a broad guaged, well
balanced and able statesman, and if
the people place him at the helm, he
will discharge every duty of the i'm
portant office satisfactorily. Wecan
conscientiously recommend him to
our friends and readers, as a man
worthy of their highest esteem and
confdence-one who will not be-
tray a trust imposed in him.
Col. Fletcher's state platform
speaks volumes in the right direc'
ton; he does not refer to nationa
politics, except to say that he
stands upon the Chicago platform
We know him to be in favor o.
principles favorable to the people
and think that no mistake will bt
made IN nominating and electlnG
him as Governor of Arkansas.

The American flag now floats over
a land of barbarity. If any one
had prophesied this four years ago,

cure for dyspepsia, has remained
unchanged for half century,
