Just as We go to press we
learn with sincere regret OF the
death OF ar. Charles L. Lowe, of
our county, which occurred at
Hot Springs, Ark. yesterday
noon
The first staying snow of the
winter fell Monday. Although
disagreeable to those obliged to
20 about business in all kinds OF
weather, it is a blessing to farmers
and will probably insure a fine
fruit year.
A thing of beauty is joy for
ever. See the conservatory in
l"Old Arkansaw" at the Opera
House Wednesday night. Feb 20.
1t is the most gorgeous set OF
scenery eve carried by a road
company.
Country roads are reported in
bad condition and our farming
friends report serious inconvience
lin marketing their produce. 1t
would be of advantage to citizens
of both town and county to insist
upon ~passable highways the year
around.

First Regiment<Band be permit
ted the use of the court house free
of charge and with others, we
heartily endorse the suggestion.

vice, when requested, and the use
of the court house would be a
graceful compliment from the citi-
zens of the town.

Our esteemed contemporary,
the Oxford Globe, came out last
week With a lengthy editorial upon
the muddy streets of our classic
little city. We will heartily en-.
dorse any effort to have better
streets, and trust that Jul citizens
will not be contented to pass
another winter without graveling
our streets. The laying of sewer
age pipes is partly the cause of
the present condition of our pub.
lie thorougbfares. but want Of per-
sonal responsibilities for public
welfare is another.
