by a score of /. to 9. Both these
teams had not been defeated until
yesterday and 1t was practically a
certainty that the championship would
fall to either OF them
The game was undoubtedly the best
yet played of the tournament games.

interest straight through. In the first
half the Diamond Heads made two
! goals on fouls and one from the field
through Ben Clark. while the Spar.
tans made only one goal on foul
I through Johnston. This made the
score for the first half: Diamond
Heads. 4; Spartans, I.
In the second half. Desha made
three goals from the field for the Dia.
mond Heads, Ben Clarke one and John
Clarke one. For the Spartans, Cor.
man made three goals from the field
and Picrson one. This made the final
scone ll.9 in favor Of the Diamond
Heads. who now seem to have a cinch
on the championship.

 Ennis says he cannot do like some of the girls-snore when not asleep.
 Miss Minnie Jordan returned to school Friday, after a few days absence on account of sickness.
 The goat show received small patronage here and soon moved on.
 Misses Versa and Jane Cribber were welcomed back to school Fri day, after an absence of several days on account of sickness.
 Arthur thinks it best to learn the gestures first, and then get a speech to fit the action, and he has proceeded so far as to learn a couple of antics.
 Thr school will probably take an outing one day next week and spend the day at Bagwell's Lake.
 The location of the new school house is engaging the attention of old and young. A large vacant lot on west Depot street in full view of the station, and containing ample ground for park, seems to be the logical site for the building. It is sufficiently removed from the business portion of the town, com mands a good view of the entire place and is the only vacant space large enough for the purpose.

If these Puriians are sincere they will not object; but they are not sincere; they are as hypocrital as Satan himself can be. Ipstead Of singing psalms to Gov. Davis they are abusing him; they have always had hell in their hearts and we fear that they will always carry 1t with them and to their graves.
 "Viewjng the whole situation, then, while Gov. Davis method was novel, 1t was unique, and while upon it's face his action did look unreason- able, when considered soberly it was no more than these Puritans should have expected. Ia fact, according t. their teachings they ought to welcome all negroes with open arms, and instead of cursing Jeff Davis they should cry, God bless him ]! /"

The Schulenburg Sun says: IA man who was teo ''close" to take his home paper sent his little boy to borrow copy taken by his neighbor. In his haste the boy ran over a $4 stand of bees and in ten minutes looked like watery summer squash. His cries reached bis father, who ran to his assistance, and failing to notice a barb wire fence, ran into that, breaking it down, cutting a handful of flesh from his anatomy and ruining $4 pair of pants. The old COW took advantage of the gap in the fence and got into the corn field and killed herself eating green corn. Hearing the racket, the wife ran, upsetting :ourgallon churn of rich cream into basket of kittens, drowning the whole litter. The baby, left alone, crawled through the spilled milk and into the parlor, running a $2O. carpet. During the excitement the oldest daughter ran away with the hired man, the d. z broke up ter setting hen., and the calves got out and chrwr the tails off four fine shirts.

NAAS -iOAto lCuNCl HUH NtuC Mayor of Searcy to the Mayor of Paragould is taken from the Searcy Citizen:
 Scarcy, Ark, May 12, 1902. HON. J. T. HESTER,
 Paragould, Ark. My dear sir:-Beg leave to inform you that the Board of Health of this place has established quarantine against your city on account of the smallpox situation that is said to prevail there. This action was taken by the board on account of the fact that Ladies Home Mission Society are to hold their convention here at an early date aDd the board was in- formed that there were several new cases that have developed in the last week and were of the opinion that it would be dangerous to permit cit- zons of your city to visit us under the circumstances It is needless to say that we very much regret that the board considered it expedient to take this action at this time, how ever we concur in their opinion as we have suffered from a siege of tho red pest end can desply sympathize l with our neigbb Dor city in their efforts to suppress the disease. On account of the fact that our different colleges have their commencement exercises in short time and the city of Para gould has representative in the same whose parents will doubtless wish to visit us on that occasion will you kindly notify mo of the situation before that time in order that we may raise the quarantine and permit them to come if the board deems the situation advisable. Hoping to hear from you at your earliest convenience and that your city will not suffer materially y from the misfortunes that have overtakcn you, I am most re- spectfully,
 JNo. V. ROBERTS,
 Mayor of Searcy.
