A Pathetic Scene.

Spectators in federal court at
Little Rock a few days ago wit
messed a most pathetic scene when
sentence Of four years in prison
was passed upon Hugh Reynolds Of
Van Buren, on the charge of moon

man was in the court room, and
when the words fell from the judges
lips conforming her husband, she
fell limp to the floor, and it was
with difficulty she was revived. Mrs.
Reynolds Is a frail woman and the
parting with her husband affected
all those in the court room.

Price of Coal Advanced.

Local dealers at Little Rock have
advanced the price Of soft coal to
s. per ton, giving the excuse that
famine Of fuel is threatened.
This contention appears absurd
when it IS known that within a
short distance of the capital city
there is an ezhaustible supply Of
coal. The worst feature Of this ad-
vance in fuel IS the fact that the
sufferers are Of class the least able
to stand it, as those of ample means
generally pat in their fuel in the
GUNNER at about one-half present
prices. This is a case where "the
weak must bear the burdens Of the
strong"

The annual Thanksgiving hop of
the Gem City Guards at the Armory
last night was pre-eminently the Soc
ial event of the season. The enter
tainment committee spared no pains
in the arrangements to make the
affair success, and the highest eX-
pectations Of every one present was
realized fully in a most delightfully."-
and pleasantly spent evening.
The weather could not have been
more favorable for dancing.
At $3.50 o'clock the hall was COM
fOrtably filed and then the neat SOU
venir programs were distributed.
The opening number was a two-step
and when the music began, twenty
eight couples glided out upon the
floor. The program consisted Of
eighteen numbers, the last of which
was finished sometime after Il
o'clock.
In the decoration of the hall for
this occasion very unique idea was
carried ont in the form of. camp
scene with tent pitched and fur
nished complete. This was the cen
ter Of much interest.
Besides the actual participants
in the amusement, quite number
of visitors were present, and from
the pleased expression of their faces
it was plain to note that they, too,
were sharing in the pleasure.
The local military company, and
Capt. E. N. Calhoun particularly,
deserve a whole lot of credit for the
successful termination of the dance.
And thus Thanksgiving passed in
Palatka.

Harper Gets Damages.

A civil case that smelt so loud OF
vileness rs to drive niggers from the
court room and cover the vacant chairs
as with a green slime occupied the at
tention of the circuit court on Wednes-
day afternoon.
1t was the case Of Edward ]. Harper
vs.. Jno. w. Cowles for slander Harper
was once the husband of Cowles' daugh-
ter, and though the woman is now free
and has had her maiden name restored
by an indulgent court, she came into this
case with story Of rottenness which
she told In such brazen and fllppant
manner as to wrench the coatlngs from
the stomach's of strong men. The wo-
man, who was the defendants star wit
ness, admitted her own vileness but her
ex-husband was given certificate OF
sound health by the jury who agreed
that he had been slandered by Cowles to
the extent of $100 The attorney for the
defendant has given notice Of a motion
for new trial.
E. Noble Calhoun was attorney for
the plaintiff Harper and he held his
nose and wore a pale I-am-sick-at-
the-stomach look while he was recit-
ing the story to the jury. He made
a strong plea in "strong" case.

"Three BOstOnians."

The first of the Lyceum course enter
tainments for the benefit of the Public
Library was given in the opera house
last Monday evening by the "Three Bos-
tonians." Every available seat in the
reserved section of the house was taken.
The entertainment, especially that por-
tion of the program rendered by the elo-
cutionist and harplst, was especially
pleasing. The part of the bird whistler,
though excellent, was somewhat disap-
pointing for the reason that the birds
didn't materialize. Taken as whole
the affair was eminently satisfactory to
the large audience.

cation Co. QIart Line) was up for hear
ing in the circuit court Wednesday

Some distance down the trail the
gambler stumbled over the prostrate
form of a man. With something Of a
strong presentiment Gentry turned the
body over and lit match to see the
face.
1t was old man Lorry, hopelessly In
tox!cated, sleeping the dead sleep Of al
cohol.
'There's most of my ffty," remarked
the gambler grimly. TITS Ike throw

darned fool"
To prove his assertion he took from
his wallet the bills Of which he had
robbed the miner and stuffed them in
the latter's pockets. Then he helped
him to his feet, meaning TO see him
home. To his wonder Gentry found
that the man, once afoot, was able to
walk after fashion. He lurched
along unsteadily. but made progress to-
ward his cabin.
The gambler followed him to the
clearing, stepping noiselessiy, then
turned and went back for his horse
and his last glimpse of Healy's.
