IN HONOR OF VISITORS.

The home of MT. Charles Meyer was the scene of very delightful though informal social affair Sunday evening, given in honor of Miss Florence Seig of Dardanelle and Miss Gertie Cohn of St. Louis.
 Miss Hannah Meyer is very clever and painstaking hostess and that everything was nicely arranged and the dinner an elaborate and elegant one, will be no surprise to those who have been so fortunate as to enjoy the hospitality of the Meyer home.
 The dinner, embracing all the seasonable delicacies, was served in courses as follows: oyster cocktails; |; potato salad en mayonaise, baked turkey and cranberry sauce, brain salad with mayonaise dressing; baked goose and chicken salad, olive oil, olives, pickles and celery; whipped cream, angel cake, salted almonds; fruits; coffee and macaroons; import eu ClSdrS.
 The table was prettily arranged with costly service and cut flowers and all present enjoyed the occasion. The guests were Misses Florence Selig, Bertha and Gertie Cohn, Messrs. and Mesdames H. Schott, Sig Adler, I. Bottenstein, J. M. Berger Jr., A. Arndt, Max Mendel, Herman Schott of Batesville, Max Schott of New York

HOXIE YARD IMPROVEMENTS

ii. L. Page, foreman of construction in the Iron Mountain yards at Hoxie has had his hands full the past week placing the turntable in position. This mammoth piece of steel is 70 feet in length and weighs 70 tons. It is the very latest improved of the up to-date turntables and sits on a ped estal having ball-bearings. Within ten days the roof will be put on the round house. The round house will contain fifteen engine stalls, and making concrete pits for the engines to stand over is what has taken so much time. The walls of the pits are about five feet high, are wider and larger than all engine, and being of solid concrete it will be seen that the job was big one. The lower yards are model of modern improved yard facilities, there being from 12 to 15 tracks, 5000 feet long all connect ing with the outside track, which semi circles around the entire track age. The coal chutes are progressing rapidly. The Iron Mountain road has left nothing undone in making the Hoxie yards the best and most com plete of any yards in the south.- Lawrence County Blade.

 The delegates tooI by their social charms and beauty, Have further en- listed the interest abd friendship of our people, few of whom failed to respond to the invitations of this popular club of young ladies.
 The Smart Set, whi.e a new organ ization, are by no means novices in the art of entertaining and a more smartly arranged anu perfectly ex ecuted function could hardly have  been given. The rooms had been artistically decorated with flags and floral offerings and from the arrival of the guest to the time of departure, not an instant was allowed to drag. Misses Ray and T.'sy Brandenburg, Marille Dillara, C4eSIrG Johnson, Mabel Padgett, Roberta Morrison, Mary Laird Lou Minor, Mesdames J. l.. Jones and T. B. Allen received in the hall way, the guests being first ushered to the punch bowl in the library, pre- sided over in 8 graceful manner by Mrs. O. B. Jones and Miss Mabel Stayton, who served delicate fruit beverage.
 In the dining room, refreshments of brick cream and cake were nicely served by members of the club assist ed by several other ladies. Another feature that must not be skipped was the rendition of several vocal selec- tions by Mrs. G. A. Hillhouse and Miss Dot Thornburg of Little Rock, both of whose voices are very popular here and never fail to elicit generous compliment.
 In bidding the receiving young ladies goodnight, the visitors express ed in no uncertain words their enjoy ment of the occasion and the residents of Newport through the acquaintance these social gatherings have made possible, express regret that the visits of these new found friends are to be so brief.

SKAGGS IN SCRIMMAGE.
Pugilistic Paragould Pedagogue Has Another Rough and Tumble Fight
 in Which he Comes out Victor.

A lively little scrimmage occurred Saturday night in Paragould says the Soliphone between Prof. w. l.. Skaggs, formerly of Newport and Dr. w. A. Sims.
 Strained relations have existed be- tween the two men for the past year on account of trouble growing out of the management of the city public schools and they have heretofore had some words. Last Friday Prof. Skaggs punished son of G. w. Cox and Dr. Sims complained to one of the directors, Jason Light, that the punishment was excessive and criti Skaggs in the position of Superin- tendent, according to MT. Lights statement. Saturday night the board of directors met and considered the case of punishment administered to the Cox boy and sustained Prof. Skaggs and ruled that the boy should submit to the discipline prescribed by Prof. Skaggs or he would be denied the benefits of the school.
 Saturday night after the board meeting the two men met and Prof. Skaggs accosted Dr. Sims for med ling with his business, as the pro- lessor called it. The doctor said he had not done so and told Prof. Skaggs to get out of his way; this the professor refused to do but continued his remarks, when the doctor drew his pistol. Prof. Skaggs grabbed the weapon and scuffle ensued in which both men went to the side walk, Dr. Sims trying to hold the weapon and Prof. Skaggs trying to wrench it from | him. In the melee the pistol was dis charged but no one was hurt by the shot. By this time parties who were near the scene of the trouble rushed in and seized the pistol and separated l the combatants. Dr. Sims received a blow on the head which gave kim scalp wound, which was sewed up, Prof. Skaggs received no injury. l After the two men were separated Dr. Sims hat and cane were left lying on the sidewalk, and Prof. Skaggs proceeded to demolish them by tear ing the hat into carpet rags and breaking the cane into kindling wood.
 There was no one in the immediate
 presence of the two men when the difficulty began, but the pistol shot The pistol was 38-caliber with ham mer, but Prof. Skaggs said it sounded to him like a cannon.
 Dr. Sims is not a patron of the pub lie schools, refusing to enter his children because of Prof. Skaggs' mode of administering punishment to recalcitrant pupils, to which the doc- tor very much objects. The board of directors, on the other hand, have sus- tained Prof. Skaggs in every difficulty thathas come up under hismanagement of the schools and seem to be of the opinion that little pugilism mixed with pedagogy is essential to the subordination of the pupils and pa irons of the city schools and Prof. Skaggs evinces the ability to supply both in measure equal to all de- m ands.

THE FIFTH
CIRCUIT:
.Continuances in
Judge FIardy's
Court.
HIS RULE THAT OF
SUPREME BENCH
The Kauai Magistrate Writes of
Matter That Has Caused
Some Criticism.

Editor Adyertiser-In the case of the
McBryde Estate VS.. Gay and Robinson
action to quiet title TO Kuiloa, on ex-
eeption by plaintiff to a continuance
granted to defendants by the Fifth Cir
cult Court, decided in the Supreme
Court July 2, 1892, the rule said to have
been announced by the Circuit Judge
as to eontinuances was severely com
mented upon and held to be manifest
error.
In this the opinion of the Circuit
Judge is in complete accord with the
Supreme Judges.
The law regulating continuances has
always been followed in this court.
When a motion for a continuance has
been made by one party and opposed
by the other the mover has always
been required to file an affidavit setting
forth valid ground for his request,
and in most cases he has been required
TO pay the costs arising from the de-
lay.
Livery Co5t u tie hlIlQ IldS DCSh
made to stand on its own merits"
Instead of an indiseriminate practice
of allowing such motions on the pay
ment of costs. careful examination of
the reason for the application has been
made. /
Now, in view of the above facts
which cannot be controverted when the
Tr,.5 1t
clusion" as follows: ION the whole
am inclined to allow a continuance on
he usual grounds, with the usual con-
iition that the defendant pay the costs
hat arise in connection with it as being
part of the practice OF the COURT etc
s it necessary conclusion as found by
he Supreme Court that cit is quite evil
lent that he (the Circuit judge in
ended to grant a continuance in anyI
vent upon what he called the practice
# his court?"
The Supreme Court does not say that
hey find from the record that he had
70 substantial grounds for allowing
motion and therefore he
must have followed the rule imputed
0 him.
Apparently they took him at his
rord, as they interpreted it, and felt
allied upon TO pnimadvert seriously
pom his erroneous ruling. He admits
hat his decisioni must have been open
. misconstructiop; how else could the
upreme Court have reached its de-
ision? It was unstudfed, unguarded,
nd quite extemporaneous, and given
n The last day of the term.
1t is matter of sincere regret that
me was not taken to prepare a de-
sion that would clearly reflect the
Jews Of the court-and yet it would
=eln as implied above that it was
apable of more satisfactory con-
-ruction
The reasons for allowing the motion
ere:
ayor that having used all due dill
ance he had been unable to complete
lie survey OF Kuiloa in time for trial
the March term. CThe complaint
i'd summons were filed February LIST.
s2)
? The absence of defendants attor-
y, who had returned to Honolulu
e had informed the Court that he did
u expect the case would be tried at
e March term. =
The panel had been discharged
r the term.
It is said that the law is a Jealous
lstress." 1t may also be said that
cry court should be jealous of its
putation.

for Mr.. May is well-nigh invincible

larger figure in the contest than here

The situation just at present is one
of the most interesting sort, each
candidate, actual or prospective
having his campaign in formative
shape, and the strongest possible in
