HOLIDAY ANNOUNCEMENT.

The holiday season will soon be ushured in, With all the rush and con- fusion of the Christmas buyers, who wait until the last minute to make their purchases.
 w. w. Dutton will lead off next Monday with holiday opening for the seventh season that will surpass any previous showing.
 The windows and show cases are now being adorned with beautiful pieces and sets of cut glass, the finest of imported china, numerous articles of pate sur pate, handsome terra cotta ware and hollowware.

 The opening has been set for Mon- day, to which the public is invited.

AN ADVERTISING CONTRACT.

H. w. Montgomery, business man ager of the Chicago Tribune, is ac- cepting congratulations on having closed what. he says is the largest ad- vertising contract ever given in Chi cago, namely, a page a day for SIP consecutive days, exclusive of Sun days. The advertisers are Mandel Brothers, local department store, and MT. Montgomery states the amount involved to be about S12O, O,OOO.
 This item of news may prove an eye-opener to many of the easy go- ing merchants of smaller towns, who persist in doing bushes on the meth ods of a hundred years ago and won der why they are not better patron ized, but these expenses are no longer looked upon in such a light by the progressive and up-to date merchant.
 Advertising is considered a neces- sary expense, just as much as the buying of the stock. Not only must store sell goods that are desired by the people, but it must let it's custom CTS know that these goods are to be found upon it's counters and at prices that will bring them around for in spection. The advertisement has no further duty. It does not sell the goods. Upon the clerk, the price and the goods, depends the sale.
 John Wanamaker, of Philadelphia, spends $500, ,0OO year for newspaper advertising and every issue of the Philadelphia Record contains a page ad of his big department store. But to this,th objection will be urged that conditions are different in the city, and for this reason, let us cite another instance. In the town of Columbia, Mo-, with a population of 5000 peo- pie, the department store of Freden- all concludes a contract each year with one paper for $500 in advertjs- ing. The owner of this store has been so successful in business, that he is now the proprietor of similar stores in four other of Missouri's best towns.
 The most successful merchants in the towns and cities of the country testify to the value of advertising as trade stimulant and inducer and it is hard to understand why many stand back on a small expense item in broadening their business opportuni- ties and chances of success.

DIED OF HEART FAILURE.

Mrs. F. G. Smith on Thursday re- ceived dispatch from Blackfoot, Idaho, announcing the death of her brother law John William Jones, as the result of heart failure.
 The deceased was we'll known here by all the older residents, having for several years, been the the proprie- tor and editor of the Newport News. During Cleveland's first administra- tion, he received an appointment as teacher in the Indian school at Fort Hall, Idaho, in which state he contin- ued his residence, except during ser vice as colonel of the First Idaho in the Philippines.
 He was born and raised in Virginia and was about 73 years of age at the time of his death, and leaves five liv- ing children, four of them boys and one girl.
 The deceased was highly esteemed by his acquaintances in Newport, who will learn with sorrow of his demise even at the ripe age, to which it had been his good fortune to live

THE ASSOCIATION ADJOURNs


 Paragould, Nov. 19.-The state Bap tist convention adjourned at noon to- day after one of the stormiest and most largely attended sessions in it's history, being the fifty third session. Last night the convention passed a resolution withdrawing it's endorse ment of the Arkansas Baptist as it's organ.
 Elder Bogard, one of the editors, asked that the resolution be passed unanimously, as the Baptist did not want to be the organ of anything. A motion to reconsider the vote by which the resolution was passed was offered this morning and voted down by narrow margin.
 Conway was selected as the place for the next meeting, and J. B. Moody, of Hot Springs, selected to preach the convention sermon.
 A resolution was passed unani- mously, with some enthusiasm, ex- pressing gratitude to the people of Paragould for their most excellent hospitality and to pastors for the use of their churches.

MASSEY ANDERSON.

Miss Pearl Anderson, the daughter of MT. and Mrs. R. w. Anderson, and MT. Joseph J. Massey, both of Jack sonport, were married at the home of the bride in that town upon Wednes- day evening about o'clock, Rev. J. w. Smith, of this city, performing the ceremony.
 Only few intimate friends and relatives of the contracting parties were witnesses of the ceremony, which was very simple.
 The bride, dressed in brown and wearing roses, was charming indeed. She is naturally very pretty blonde, and young lady whose graces of dis position and character should make her ever the highly -prized and much loved helpmeet of fond husband.
 The groom is young man in the employ of H. H. Luckett, of good percentage and excellent reputation.
 The INDEPENDENT wishes the newly wed future in which prosper ity and happiness may shower their blessings about the life which husband and wife will hereafter walk as one.

THE PENALTY OF PERJURY.

Some time ago John Adair was in- dicted by the grand jury of Randolph county for the crime of perjury. The offense consisted in falsely swearing, while a witness before the grand jury, that he knew of no gambling within the twelve months prior thereto. He was accorded fair trial and convicted by jury of his coutrymen. His at- torneys, able and vigilant, appealed his case to the supreme court, in which tribunal they made a gallant fight for their client. On last Satur- day his case was passed upon by that body and affirmed. It thus transpires that Adair must pay the penalty for the crime.

ROOSEVELT'S NEXT GUEST.

President Roosevelt's next unique visitor will be White Eagle, the aged philosopher and chief of the Ponca Indians.
 A letter has been received by Sec- retary Cortelyou from Guthrie that White Eagle is coming to Washington to see the white father and will tell the white father that Ponca Indians want lands allotted, and expects to be invited to the presidents table. The letter says that "White Eagle thinks it proper that the white father at Washington should give to big Indian chief same treatment as to big negro chief. No Indian chief ever ate at white fathers table,"
 It is evident that the Booker Wash ington incident has found it's way to the Indian Territory.
