OLDEST MEMBER OF HOUSE
Is Hen. j. N. Ferguson, of Lonoke, 70
Years Old.


Years Old.
a distinguished visitor in the city
is Hon j. N. Ferguson of Ward, Lo-
noke county. who viii be one of the
gentlemen from LonCke,' in the ap-
proaching session of the Legislature,
writes the Little Rock correspondent
of the Commercial Appeal. His dis
tincten will he, however, that he viii
be the oldest member of the body, an
honor claimed in 1901 by Hon. John =.
Farrar of Lee, who was accredited
on the roster of being 6S years old.
Mr.. Jasper N Ferguson was born De
cember %, 1882, six miles from where
he now resides, and has had the dis
tinction of living in one territory
and one state, in two different counties
at two distinct times. and in one other
county, and never having left the
community where he was born, except
durin gthe four years he was fighting
for the Confederacy. He was born in
territorial days, in what is now Lo-
noke county, which was afterwards
part of Pulaski, then of Prairie, then
of Prairie again, and finally of LOnoke.
He has never held Office before, al
though he made the race twice for
the house and once for the senate be-
fore he was elected. In the last
election he had an exciting contest
with Sell Smith, of Sylvania whom he
defeated in the first primary by 26
votes Mr.. Smith was not satisfied
with the result of the election and con-
tested 1t was ordered run over and
in the second primary Mr.. Ferguson
was elected by 958 votes over Smith.
81 proposed that would run it over
with him Friday. but he had enough
and did not accept my offer" said the
old gentleman laughingly. When ques-
toned as to the special measures he
desired to see passed at the coming
session, he said that he is particular
ly interested in the passing of hog
law for his part of the state that will
compel farmers to keep their hogs
up from February,1 L to October 1. while
the crops are being made. He will
also look after the passage Of a law
for the care Of the old Confederate
cemetery at Austin, where nearly 800
soldiers Of the Confederacy lie in un.
marked and neglected graves. For the
last ten years efforts have been made
to secure the passage of some law
to provide for the care of that GENE
terry and while acts have been intro
duced frequently. all have come to
naught.

sALVATIoNIsTs PREPARING
FOR CHRISTMAS DINNI q

Once more the merry Christmas sea-
son is upon us. and while to many
it Will be a merry time, there are
some to whom it Will not be so unless
those more well to do contribute to
make it so. In order TO bring some
measure of cheer to these poor peO-
pie. the Salvation army proposes to
give free dinner, following out the
usual custom, Christmas day. The
members of the local corps there
fore call upon those who will do so
to contribute towards the worthy
cause whatever may be applied in
making the affair a success.
Such contributions should be given
only to those regularly authorized
to solicit. and all such will be proVi-
ded with certificate bearing the
names of Ensign and Mrs. job printed
upon them. There should be a gener-
Gus response to the call made by
these self-sacrificing people in their
noble endeavor to bring happiness
into other lives. Contributions may
be sent to Ensign job. at 140S Fifth
avenue. All goods should be in not
later than Dec. 24. Those having
something they wish to give will be
called upon if they notify the ensign
at the above number.
In this connection it is but fair to
call attention to the fact that the
local corps of the city is in need of
funds and a Christmas present tend
ing toward the present emergencies
and enabling the work to be con-
tinued with unabating vigor would
doubtless prove highly acceptable.

PITTS SENT TO JAIL
Strange lnfatuation of Aged Col
ored Man and White
Girl.
THE PAIR HAD ELOPED BEFORE
Aged Lover Ordered to Leave Lo-
cality When Sentence
Expires.

David Pitts, colored, aged 60, ac-
quilted Monday in Justice Schriver's
court of seducing Charlotte Bell, the
Milan girl. is now in limbo. He was
arrested yesterday afternoon by Dep
uty Sheriff Reynolds at the home of
one of Milan's colored residents on
complaint of James Lafferty, the
girls stepfather. and this morning he
was fined 5000 by Justice Schriver for
disorderly conduct. This will keep
him in the county Jail 40 days.
The cause of Pitts latest trouble
appears to be the strange infatuation
that has grown up between himself
and the girl. At the first trial. when
he was acquitted of abduction, he
was ordered by the court to keep
away from Charlotte and from Milan.
This, it seems, he did not do.
Had Been Hanging Around
The evidence at the hearing show
ed that he had been hanging about
the Lafferty domicile and meeting the
object of his affections in strange and
unusual places at unreasonable hours.
The relations between himself and
the girl have become a public scan
dial and the stepfather finally decided
to invoke the power of the law. Pitts
was given to understand that if he
does not leave this part of the coun-
try at the end of his term of impris-
onment he will be again arrested.
1t will be remembered that Pitts
entered complaint before Justice
Pinllley, of Milan, who placed Latter
ty under bonds to keep the peace for
a period of 30 days. Lafferty was al
lowed his freedom with the under
standing that if he showed any dis
position to modest Pitts he would be
committed to Jail. The latest turn of
affairs ought to render it no difficult
matter for him to be good.

Fourteen travelling freight agents,

in accordance with invitations sent
out a week in advance to the mem
berS of the organization known as
the "R. X. r. or the Royal Rough
Riders" which meets once a year
somewhere in the middle west. 1t is
needless to say that at last evenings
meeting none of the cherished tradi-

any sort was tolerated and shop
talk was ruled out by common con-
sent. The officers of the II. r. X. hold
over from year to year. They are:

Football Players Entertained.
The football squad of the Rock ISL

members of the first and second
teams, some p in all, were given a
banquet last evening at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. \. Mosenfelder, whose
son, Arthur, plays right end on the
first team. There were also present
Supt. II. b. Hayden, the male mem
bers of the local high school corps of
instructors and Rev. w. II. Fineshri-
Der, of Davenport.
The parlors and dining room were
prettily decorated in red carnations
and yellow roses, representing the
high school colors of crimson and
gold. The menu was an elaborate
one and the boys in discussing it sus-
tanned their well-earned reputation
for downing whatever came before
them. After the banquet, which be-
gan ut $50, there was instrumental
and vocal music by the guests and an
hour was spent in social diversion.

His friend grnned, and at the proper

With the broiled lobster flanked by the
