A CLEVER COMPANY.

darkness and Daylight" forcible
dramatization of Mary ]. Holmes
noted novel by that name, was inn
pressively presented at the opera
house Friday night before fair house,
being the opening attraction of the
season.
There is little of comedy in the play,
for the plot would hardly warrant
levity in such an atmosphere of mis-
fortune and grief, and the whole
drama is deeply touching in its con-
tinuity of pathetic scenes.
The star, Sarah Boyd, as Edith
Hastings, the orphan waif, who finds
home with the noble Richard Har-
rington, was ably supported if not
collapsed by others of histrionic talent.
May Roberts Gillard in the part OF
Nina was remarkably good and all the
male members of the cast can only be
complimented for their true portrayal
of character.

ROMANTIC WEDDING.

Jonesboro, Sept. IA romantic
society wedding, which was an entire
surprise to the friends of the con-
tracing parties, occurred in our city
Thursday night, the parties thereto
being Morris Lyde and Miss Nellie
Parr. The groom is young man Of
sterling qualities, and during his three
years. residence in our city has made
many friends, who eagerly congratu-
late him upon the successful rermina-
ton of his courtship. Miss Parr was
reared in Jonesboro, and from her in
fancy up has been social fayorite.
Beautiful in face and form, thoroughly
accomplished, she is eminently fitted to
preside as queen of the home provided
her by the young man whose ardor
won her heart and hand.
The romantic part of the wedding
added much spice to the occasion.
Counting neither parental submission
nor dissension, they abided their tine
until the members of the household
we're wrapped in the arms of Nor
pheus and the stars twinkled their
lights of love, and quietly quilted the
house, walked to the heme of DR.. j.
e. Leyda, pastor of the First Pres
byterian church, where, at 1890 a..
M, the words were said binding them
together as husband and wife. Too
happy to content themselves till
morning dawned, the family was
awakened, the incidents of the past
hour related, and parental blessings
crowned their cup of joy. The young
couple will be at home to theiI
friends in this city.

DESERVING DAVIS.
Senator Kilgore Says Governor Is
Losing Friends Fast Over
Southern Section of
State.

Senator A. S. Kilgore of Columbia
county, who was recently in Pine
Bluff, talks enthusiastically of the gu
bernatorial campaign in the southern
portion of the state.
"While the campaign has started
early,n said he, 'sDavis and his hench-
men have not caught us unprepared.
Thus far there have been two politi-
cal meetings held in my county, and
both of them have been distinctly
anti Davis. A decided reversal of
feeling toward our present governor
has swept over the entire southern
portion of our state, and many who
have been his staunch supporters
have been compelled to turn against
him. The speaking at Magnesia
Springs was fair sample. The meet
ing was worked up by the Davis men
themselves, and Wood and Vande-
venter were only there to be made
fun of, but when the speaking was
over, and the people had a chance to
size up the candidates, there was de-
cided turning from the demagogue.
Davis is losing ground and votes in
south Arkansas every day, while the
sentiment against him is growing.
The people are tired of him. l am
unable to say which is the stronger,
Wood or Vandeventer, but both have
made many friends"

haps fatally injured Friday morning,
says the Poplar Bluff Citizen, while
attempting to get off Iron Mountain
passenger No. 5. He had been steal
ing ride on the train, secreted be-
tween the vestibules of two baggage
coaches. When the train began to
slow up for the station he tried to
pass through the opening between

works of the vestibules to close to,
catching the unfortunate mans head
between them and crushing the skull.

down on the Island in search of Lee

He was seen by parties Saturday
morning in company with woman

A certain Newport gentleman, while
on his way home from Little Rock
the other day, met up with quite a
crowd of Galloway College girls
whose company he was evidently en-
ioying, when an old acquaintance
walked up and addressed him thus:
"Hello, Jim, how are your wife and

that he was pretending to be single

was dismissed by the disappointed
young ladies'.
