NEW YEARS DANCE.

The annual New Year's dance given by the Newport Club chanced to fall this year upon rainy and gloomy night, but within the club rooms, bril- liantly lighted and made beautiful by the decorator's art, an atmosphere of gayety and pleasure held sway that made one doubly appreciative of the good cheer within. Strains of en- chanting music too contributed to lull into forgetfullness all thought Of the night without.
 Saxby's orchestra of four pieces from Memphis was secured for the occasion, the musicians being hidden from view by great banks of potted palms and other plants.
 The other decorations used to pretty effect throughout the rooms were of holly and mistletoe.
 The german proved favorite dance throughout the evening and early morn, for several of the "wee sma hours' had been gathered unto those of the evening before the dance was ended and the company repaired to Bracy's cafe, where an elegant spread served in courses had been pre- pared.
 The menu was as follows: Blue points; lobster salad, pickles, celery, olives, salted almonds; turkey, cran- berry sauce, French peas, sliced ham, Switzer cheese, coffee; brick cream and cake.
 Those present were Misses Roberta and Mamie Morrison, Mary Laird, Mabel Stayton, Lucille Taylor, Jamie Irby, Lula Wolf, Gene Bandy, Hester Phillips, Lou Minor, Noreene Kinman, Mary Bailey, Claire Johnson, Mes danes w. A. O'Neal, T. D. Kinman Jr., Messrs. and Mesdames J. L. Sells, F, Price, J. o. Taylor, M, M. Stuckey, Messrs. L. Minor, s. M. Stuckey, B. w. Stainback, A. c. Anderson, Geo. W. Decker, H. Bernstein, k. Topp, J. M. and J, w. Stayton, Claude Err win, H. o. Nouss, Alcorn Ferguson, F. P Skipwith and E. L. Boyce.
 The out town guests were Misses Esther Neill, Rena Fraley, Mollie Duf- fey, Capts. Ernest Neill and Reed Butler, MT. and Mrs. H. Devereux, Batesville; Messrs. Gregg and Wylie Creel, St. Louis; MT. Robt. Laird, Auvergpe.

LICENSES CONTESTED.
Fight Between Temperance and Saloon People at Jonesboro Opened Mon
 day-Cate Still Candidate.

Jonesboro, Ark, Jan. 4.-Interest in the liquor situation here is tense. Judge Rains will hear both sides Mon day, when the liquor interests will oppose the granting of a petition presented by the temperance people praying that license be not issued to any person for the sale of intoxicants within three miles of the North Jones' boro school house, which practically embraces the city. This petition, to come within the provisions of the law, must contain the names of majority of adult persons living in the territory defined. The attorneys for the saloon people are going over the petition and are preparing to challenge the qualification of about 500 of the names thereon. In addition to this, they have taken census which they claim evidences enough additional popula- tion to invalidate the petition. The temperance element has retained at tOrneys, but are not saying anything of their plans. Several liquor men are here and few consignments of liquor have arrived. Should the de- cision favor the saloon men about six saloons and one wholesale house will be opened. Ii the temperance people do not get the decision and appeal, the saloon people say they will give bonds and open.
 Regarding the report sent from Little Rock t. Memphis paper that Hon. W. w Cate of this city, would not be q candidate for the speaker ship of the lower house of the legis- lature, Mr. Cate says that be has some private business here that may pre- vent his being in Little Rock in time to make the fight, but that if he can arrange his affairs in season to do SO, he will make the contest. He has be- tween twenty five and thirty five votes pledged.

INITIATED HER PRIZE.

Little Miss Clara Brooks entertained a few of her friends Friday afternoon with 'cooking party" to initiate ( new "Baby" Quick Meal Range.
 The unique feature of this party was that the young misses prepared their own lunch, and the old adage, that "too many cooks are sure to spoil the brotho was not verified in this in stance, as the lunch was well cooked, each little miss preparing some one thing. After the refreshments pre- pared by themselves were enjoyed to the fullest, the hostess served geiatine cake, fruit and bon bons.
 Those invited were Madie Stephens, Hazel Jones, Lillian Stallings, Lute Mae Stephens, Nonie Randy, Corinne Mosby, Elvia McLain and Kitty Davis of Kentucky.

OF CONFEDERACY
 SELECT SECOND SITE

Fort Smith, Jan. 5.-The Daughters of the Confectionery, at meeting this decided to abandon the idea of placing the Confederate monu ment in the National cemetery and voted to erect it in the county court house yard. Iha war department re- gently, in response to a protest made by Sam Peters and other federal veterans, decided that a monument to the Confederate dead could be erected ill the National cemetery, where so many Southern soldiers are buried, but that the monument must be with out the figure of Confederate soldier surmounting it, and must be without the reproduction of Confederate flag, with the words, "Lest We For get," which are distinguishing features of the design chosen by the Daughters of the Confectionery. The G. A. R. post here is in full sympathy with the ladies.

PRESENTATTVE KEEL
 INTERVIEWER BY GAZETTE.

Hon. John H. Keel, representative from Jackson county. who came dowl from Newport Thursday, says the construction of the Morning Star Railroad, from Newport to Melville Marion county, is assured if the re- cent action of the directors is to be taken as an indication. 4 meeting of that body was held at Newport Wed nesday and the issuance of $500 ,0O0 bonds, in addition to the $3, ,G0O, ,OO0 al ready out, was authorized. The route has been surveyed for some time and 8 good portion, if not all, of the right of way has been secured. It is under stood on good authority that the con struction work will begin at an early day. The Morning Star line will run south of the White river all it's length distance of 40 miles. In doing so the plans of the Missouri Pacific as regards the White river extension, which runs from Batesville on the north side of the river, were frustrat- ed. It was the original intention Of the Missouri Pacific to come south of the river some distance out of Bates vile. The topography of this country is much more favorable to railroad construction than that to the north of the stream. It has also the advantage of being by far the better agricultural section. Tie Morning Star people, however, got all their plans ill shape, incorporated and obtained the right to build their line south of the river before the Missouri Pacific had an in Jimation that anything Of the sort was contemplated Their WoTkmea crossed the river and attempted to take possession of the right of way which was being marked out by the Morning Star corps. Tine latter laughed at them, knowing the law was on their side, and continued with their
 work. The Missouri Pacific corps then retired to the north of the river
 md continued their survey as the road has since been built.
 MT. Keel says the few days between LOW and the 10th of January are
 raught with anxiety to tipplers in Newport. The city has been dry for
 wo years and petition with two housand signers is before the county judge asking that he refuse to grant icenses. He is to give his decision
 January 10.
 MT. Keel says he intends to support the bill in the legislature permitting lbe citizens to issue bonds to a certain per cent of their taxable valuation He believes that enough limitations can be put to such a measure to pre- l vent any consequences similar to | hose of the days of carpet bag rule, when millions in worthless securities | were afoat. "The present condition l etards the material progress of every l city in the state," said Mir Keel. He
 hinks the chances for the passage of the bill through both houses of the legislature are about even.

RAILROAD BONDS SOLD.
Work of Clearing Right of Way For Jonesboro and Newport Railroad Begins Says the Jouesboro
 Times.

representative of the JOnesbOro Times interviewed MT Ed. L. Vest brooke rec ntly, by whom he was in formed that bonds for the construction and equipment of the JonesbOro and Newport road to the amount of $560, 000.00 have been sold and work in cutting off the right way has been commenced
 The road will be forty three miles in length. Ten thousand dollars per mile will be used in clearing off the right way and constructing and equipping the road bed, and two thousand per mile for rolling stock The company has organized into a construction company and will build the road themselves.
 The work of clearing the right-of- way began at the Newport end last week, but was temporarily discon- tinued on account of the bad weather It will be resumed as soon as the weather will permit.
 This information is official as Mr. Westbrooke is general manager of the company and has been the principal promoter of the enterprise. He says the company expects the road to be so far completed as to have the cars running by July 1st.
