DISPUTES ESTIMATE OF
 DAVIS ENTHUSIAST

According to the Beebe News c. H. Steptoe of Beebe recently made a trip through northern Arkansas and found everything practically solid for the re-elec- tion of Gov. Jeff Davis. Then MT. Steptoe says: Sheriff Hutchinson of Sharp county says Sharp county will give Davis 90 per cent of her vote. If our friend Hutchinson made this statement we would like to get next to his line of reasoning. Two years ago Sharp county gave Davis 942 and Rector 470 votes. With the assistance of a lead pencil and a small bit of paper a figurer can easily discover that at that election Gov. Davis received only a fraction over 66 per cent of the vote of Sharp county. At the time he was a candidate for a second term and was opposed by a candidate who it is acknowledged was unpopu- lar. If Gov. Davis receives 90 per cent of the vote of Sharp county he will have to make g gain of about "A per cent, and the fact is, every candid observer of politics in Sharp county knows that he has lost votes. How many he has lost remains for the March primary to reveal. It is the easiest thing in the world tC make claims, but it often hap pens that claims are based upor a hot air hypothesis and are moi borne out by the facts. SharE County Record.

- UTANT GENERAL
 BOASTS MILITIA.
Colonel Wm. P. Hall Makes Pub lie Report on Militia in Diff ferent States. Severe
 on Arkansas.

Washington, Nov. 27. In his report just out the acting adju- tant general of the army, Col. Wm. P. Hall, states that, dis tributed comparatively, t h e strength of the organized militia is in inverse ratio to the density of population. The states having the largest population have natu- rally the largest number of or ganized militia, but when com pared with the male population within the militia age those states are as a rule below the average percentage.
 The report states that the in- spection in Arkansas was little more than an actual attendance of all available men with their arms in serviceable condition and the men themselves in neat and decent uniforms. The new rifles, says the report, issued a year ago had never been fired, and a large part of these that were free from rust appear to have been kept so by the fact that the grease placed on them when boxed at the arsenal had never been removed; or, in other words, the rifles had never been used until brought out for this inspection. There appears tc have been little occasion in the state to wear the uniforms, yet not few have been lost, and z large part of those that were worn at the inspection have al ready been worn out, through the fact that the men have been al lowed to wear them in their pri vate pursuits.

BRAGG-REINEY.

MT. Henry Bragg of this city and Miss Addie May Reiney of Batesville were married Wednes- day evening at 6 o'clock in the Methodist church of Batesville by Rev. z. T. Bennett. MT. J. ". Grubbs served as best man and MT. w. c. Daniel as grooms- man for MT. Bragg, the gentle men being attired in full dress, while the fair bride was very handsomely gowned.
 Owing to the lateness of the branch passenger, the party re- paired to the brides home after the ceremony and did not reach Newport until only fifteen minutes before the arrival of No. Is, thus compelling them to miss @ very dainty spread that had been prepared for them at the Hazel.
 They left that night for St. Louis, expecting to return Sum- day night.
 The newly wed have the con- gratulations of the groom's many Newport friends and also their good wishes for long, happy and useful lives.

OLDEST MINISTER
 IN THE WORLD.

Rev. George W. Brinsfeld of Wild Cherry, in the hills of North Arkansas, who claims to be the oldest licensed minister in the world, and there are few with any hope of disputing the title, spent Monday night in Newport on his way to Walnut Ridge to attend the annual conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, South.
 Rev. MT. Brinsfeld is 104 years of age, having been born in Gill ford county, North Carolina, in 1799. Coming to Arkansas in 1851, he settled in Izard county, which has ever since been his home. MT. Brinsfeld has been nimrod in his day, though he has not handled a gun for three years, and estimates the number of deer he has killed at 2,000, having shot twenty in one day just before the civil war.
 He has been a professing chris tian for eighty years and a licensed minister for forty, though he has never spent day in school. He has a beautiful head of silvery hair, which falls to his shoulders, but to show how well he has preserved his age, it is only necessary to state that he rode horseback twenty miles Monday to the railroad station, and this year raised a crop as in his young days.

ONE O'CLOCK LUNCHEON

Seldom has any Newport host ess given a more elegant lucheon, complete in all it's appointments; than that of Tuesday afternoon at one o'clock, when Mesdames Wm. Bailey and Wm. Hooker en- tertained a small circle of inti- mate friends at the home of the former in honor of Mrs. Phil Porter of Clinton, Ky, and Mrs. J. c. Walker, who leaves this week for her new home in Albu- querque to the regret of many Newport friends by whom she will be truly missed.
 The dining table was beauti- fully arrayed in pretty linen and silver service. A massive fern rested in the center, and at each place battenburg doilies set off the handsome china. Small SOUL venirs with a Gibson head on each cover, to which were tied the cards of the hostesses, fell to the lot of each guest.
 The dinner, very elaborate and elegant, was nicely served in seven courses by Misses Lucy Brandenburg and Carrie Stevens in the following order: First, oranges with crushed ice; second, tomato puree; third, chicken salad, crackers, celery, grated cheese, olives; fourth, escalloped oysters, peas, asparagus on toast, stuffed potatoes, pickles, French biscuit; fifth, Sultana roll with claret sauce, fruit cake; sixth, dates; seventh, coffee and cheese straws.

Ylmans Receives 5f Guest, Mrs. Phil Fer of Clinton, Ky. y Nearly One Hundred Guests Present.

y In this hospitable Southland Al where social life is never allowed to grow sluggish, where the com panionship of others is held g k trait to be cultivated and made |Aoubly attractive through azfre- qAent invitations to pleasurable eveNnts in each others homes, about which are thrown all those environments which interest and fascinate the individual, there are few towns like Newport which Have languished neither in so- 3cial nor business way. How of- 4 ten are college and club towns bereft of any substantial busi- ness. But in our little metropo- lis we find the two happily com bined, neither neglected for the pursuits of the other.
 The wintry season so early be- gun has ushered in a series of delightful entertainments, but it, is hardly probable that any sue ceeding event will eclipse in elegance the reception of Satur- day afternoon, given by Mrs. Charles Wilmans in honor of her guest and cousin, Mrs. Phil Por- ter of Clinton, Ky, who visited this city during maidenhood days and is held in very high esteem by many Newport friends who were pleased to revive so pleas ant an acquaintanceship.
 Chrysanthemum, the giant flower which for a time with stands the onslaughts of wintry blasts after other comrades have withered, held sway in this home, ruling with a splendorfand mag nificence that brought forth many compliments. Potted plants and ferns together with trailing vines were the loyal subjects of this north-born lord and in allegiance paid pretty homage as harmo- nious vassals.
 The guests upon arriving were met at the door by Master Charles Minor in full dress, who perform ed his duties with precision that could we'll be copied by 3 butler, and little Miss Frances Johnson in evening attire receiv- ed their cards. On such occa- sions wedding dresses are ofter resurrected, and little Miss John son wore the bridal costume 1T which she plighted her troth tC Tom Thumb last winter.
 Mrs. Narcie Minor and Mrs. E L. Maris greeted the guests 1T the hallway, from which they were escorted to the receiving line by Mesdames Wm. Bailey and Wm. Hooker.
 The receiving party was com posed of Mesdames J. Branden burg, c. H. Wilmans, Phil Por ter, Miss Tillie Venable, Mes danes R. M. Johnson, s. R. Phil lips, E. B. Wilmans and Mis- Lucy Brandenburg, all of whom were very gracious in the pleas antries of the hour. The parlo was quite prettily decorated witl chrysanthemums set off witt ribbon, the greenery of vines ant potted flowers.
 Passing to the rear parlor, tn guests were here made to feel a home through the cordial greet ings of Mesdames B. M. Crow T. D. Kinman, IT,, and J. s Wilmans.
