with the alleged attempts at fraud are prominently connected, there is little sympathy at Searcy for them and it does not seem probable that Lightle will ever secure bond unless he makes a full statement of the facts.
 GREGORY MAY TELL ALL.
 There is a we'll grounded belief among the people of Searcy that young Gregory, who is hardly more. than 21 years of age, may be allowed to exculpate himself from trouble by turning states evidence. There is a sympathy for him that does not extend to the other alleged conspirators by reason of his youth.
 He is we'll remembered in New port, where he clerked at the Planters House about two years ago, and for two successive win ters was employed in the freight department of the Iron Noun tain service here. Gregory was we'll liked by his Newport asso- ciates and made friends readily, and during the time he lived here enjoyed a good reputation as an honest and industrious young man.

FOUNTAIN-TUCKER.
(Contributed.)


 One of the prettiest sights U behold last Sunday was the sol emnizing of the marriage cere- mony between Mir. Will Fountain and Miss Nettie Tucker.
 Strictly at ten o'clock a. m. the high contracting parties ap- peared before the magistrate and several witnesses at the home of the brides parents, Esquire Jno. Smith officiating, who delivered the ceremony in a very touching and eloquent manner.
 The bride is the highly respect ed daughter of MT. w. R. Tuck CT, who lived near the Anderson school house in Jefferson town ship, and being one of the belles of the community, has many friends who congratulate her in her good fortune.
 The groom is'the youngest son of J. T. Fountain, who lives on the place known as the Boswell farm. He is one of Jackson county's most popular and best young farmers. He is an enter prising young man with many fine qualifications, and we pre- dict bright future for the happy couple.
 The bride was dressed in a beautiful white organdie, trim med in beautiful colored ribbon and faces, while the groom was dressed in the conventional black.
 After the ceremony was per- formed in very solemn manner, the table was prepared with things very delicious, and the very best that could be had, with a bountiful hand. When dinner was announced, the guests were ushered into the dining room, where all enjoyed themselves to the utmost.
 After the dinner was over the bride and groom invited all the guests to be present the next day at the home of the groom to an infair dinner with them, and on the following day a table with things fine enough for a king was prepared at the residence of the groom's father. After all had enjoyed themselves invitations were extended to the guests to a grand ball to be given at the res idence of the brides father. The dance was very much par ticipated in until the wee small hours.
 Everybody enjoyed themselves and departed wishing the happy couple a long and prosperous life. May they be carried down to their graves in peace and urban ith, and may the joining of this couple be of long duration and may they have the flowers of life strewn in their paths to make them happy.

THE VARDAMAN CASE.

There is a class of Democratic newspapers, small, indeed, but a class that will attemt to make capital out of anything, says the Owensboro Inquirer. The members of this journalistic gang are now attacking the post office department for it's refusal to allow the naming of a postof- flee in honor of Governor Varda- man, of Mississippi, on account of a yillianously indecent refec- tion on the mother of the presi- dent, which was printed in War; daman's paper. Attention has been called to this matter before, but it is too important that a blackguard shall not be held up as a hero or the representative of the Democratic party or of the people, to allow any attempt in that direction to pass without mo- tice. It is unfortunate that no decent paper can print what Var daman's paper contained in it's editorial column, for which. he was responsible.
 The New York Times, one of the leading Democratic papers in the country, has taken the mat ter up and says:
 N'There is a blackguard in Mis- sissippi or at least the owner and editor of a blackguard newspa- per named Vardaman, whose fel- low citizens have disgraced them selves or would have disgraced themselves if they had then known about what is known now by electing him governor of the state.
 Some of them even desire to have a postofice named after him. This desire is resisted by the postmaster general upon the ground that the man whom it was proposed thus to honor has written an insulting article about the presidents mother.
 "Vardaman denies that he has done so, but his denial is mani festly either an untruth or a quibble. The article which ap- peared in his paper proves it to be one or the other and cannot be cited in proof only because it is grossly indecent. It fully jus tifes the postmaster general in refusing to give effect to the wish of the neighborhood in such a matter as the naming of a postofice.
 If some Mississippians should desire their postoffice to be called Blackguardsville the postmaster general would probably refuse his consent to such an act of self Identification. And really that is virtually what they have done in asking to have it called Vardaman."

FURTHER ARRESTS
 IN LIGHTLE CASE.
John Roberts and Walter Gregory Placed Under Arrest as Ac- complices~ in Liz htle Frauds and Grave
 Rob ping.

Searcy, Aug. 23. = John V. Roberts, formerly nominee for the house of representatives, and Walter Gregory, a we'll known young man of this place, were arrested at 4 o'clock this after noon, charged in four counts with conspiracy to defraud and with grave robbery and arson.
 This new phase of the now fa- nous Lightle case was not un- expected. It was merely the full fillment of popular prediction and did not, owing to the many wheels within wheels which the case contains, attract the atten- tion that such an event would otherwise have called forth.
 Shortly after the two men were arrested their bonds were fixed at S2, zoo each. Roberts was re- leased from custody about , o'clock. The following signed his bond: Judge M. M. Stuckey of Newport, J. T. Shumate of Searcy, Steve Bordman of Clar- endon and Gus Jones of Newport It is understood that Judge Stuckey and MT. Jones will repre- sent Roberts when the case is called Saturday.
 Up to a late hour Gregory had not succeeded in making bond, and was committed to the county jail.
 Both men took the matter with apparent indifference and refused absolutely to talk. Gregory has been under suspicion for some time, but he has never discussed any angle of the many-sided case at all. He is the son of we'll known minister and is only about 21 years of age. For some time past he has not been working, although he seemed we'll supplied with money. It is generally un- derstood that the insurance com panies will fight the matter to the bitter end and are prepared to spend good sized amount of money to bring about convic- tion of the guilty parties.
 Other arrests are expected. There are said to be two we'll known young men who witness ed the robbingof the Pitts grave, and who afterwards demanded, $1,0O0 as hush money. They are being watched and will not be al- lowed to escape should they at- tempt to do so.
 Deputy Sheriff Al Chichester of Pulaski county is here in the interest of the insurance compa- nies. He will doubtless prove an important witness for the prosecution, as he has followed the case from it's beginning.
 ,4 LIGHTLE STILL IN JAIL.
 Dr. Lightle is still in jail and all efforts to make the $5, ,0W bond required of him have failed. His relatives are perfectly will ing to aid him, provided he will talk, but this he refuses to do. How long he will hold out is a question.
 NO SYMPATHY FOR MEN.
 Attorney J. N. Rachels, an ex- prosecuting attorney of White county, in a public interview in Little Rock says that while or dinarily the resignation of John V. Roberts from the ticket on which he was nominated would create a sensation, at this time the event is completely over shadowed by the Lightle arrests. Sentiment, while divided as to Roberts guilt, was unanimous that he resign and it is doubtful if he would have received 5 per cent of the vote had he stood pat and refused to step down.

For there are no real rainy day cos

come the cloudy weather toilets, the

These are for wind and for weather and
they are to wear when one walks, drives
or braves the elements.
Many OF these bad weather gowns are
made in such a way that they can be
worn for other occasions. They make
good shopping costumes; they are nice
for mornings promenade; and they
are almost good enough for informal
calls. Indeed, IT is difficult 10 discover
