THE BAPTIST BAZAAR.

The Thursdays bazaar in the parlors of the New Hazel was a success in the superlative degree. It was conceded by all that for quantity, quality and variety it has never been equaled in the city. The liberal patronage of the entire town was a source of delight to the Helping Hand.
 About S175 was realized from the sales.
 The ladies desire to express their appreciation and thanks to the general public, and especially to MT. and Mrs. Bernstein for the use of their elegant parlors.

FREE FOR ALL FIGHT.

People who were at BrookIand Saturday afternoon saw a fist and skull fight the like of which was perhaps never seen at any place in this county. About thirty men in one grand, big free for all street fight, each man using no weapon except his fist, and all of them making good use of their fists. Every face was bloody and it took an hour to re- store order.
 The fight started over politics and was vigorous one. We did not get the names of the partici- pants. Jonesboro Times-Enter- prise

RAIL ROADING
 UNDER DIFFICULTIES.

The first passenger trains south since the flood came in about noon today. They were Nos. IT, the Hot Springs special, 5 and g.. The trains had to get here by a rather roundabout way. They left St. Louis and went to River side over the Iron Mountain tracks. From Riverside they went to Boone Terre over the M. R. & B. T., thence to Delta, then to Dexter and in over the Cat.
 An idea of the time it took to make the trip may be gained when it is considered that No. IF left St. Louis about 8 o'clock last night and reached here at II this morning. This train usu- ally makes the trip in about six hours.
 The Kitten" went out this morning as far as Dexter for the first time since last Saturday morning. All these trains were loaded down with delayed mail and baggage, and the mail clerks, baggage men and express mes sengers were kept busy handling it. Poplar Bluff Citizen-Demo- crat.

FRAUD IN LINCOLN.

The vote in Lincoln county will undoubtedly be contested in the state convention, for all kinds of dirty politics have been discov- cred in that county. Following the riot at two of the polling boxes in the county on Saturday, came an attack on Chancellor J. M. Elliott of this city Sunday. Ju5 5ge Elliot went over to Star City 9on Saturday afternoon in the interest of Judge Wood, and as reportshas it, was notified by the Davis men to leave town. Gov. Davis was advised that Judge Elliott was there and irn- mediately telephoned some of his henchmen to run the judge out any way they could as his pres ence in the county was exceed lngly dangerous to the Davis l1l- terests. The Davis men ad- dressed a communication to the judge and ordered him to leave. Judge Elliott resented the insult and informed the mob where he could be found. He was not mo- tested, as the crowds were only blufing.
 It is apparent that frauds have. been committed in other coun- ties, and that contest will be made before the convention to eliminate all frauds, and bring the result down to a clean one, which is the proper thing to dog l if the future welfare of the Democratic pariy is to econ l sidered.

DUAL CONVENTIONS.
Wood and Davis Adherents Held Separate Conventions and Named Two Sets of
 Delegates.

The Democratic county conven- tion, which from first to last was a stormy one, resulted in a split and two sets of delegates to the state convention. After the Davis men had unseated enough Wood delegates to have a ma jority, by accepting the creden- tials of the Davis delegates from Union township and throwing out two Wood delegates from Grubbs and Breckenridge town ships, a split ensued.
 The call of the Chairman M. M. Stuckey for the county conven- ton, stated that the meeting was to be held in the county court room, whereas this convention was being held in the circuit court room. Upon suggestion, the Wood delegates retired to the county court room, electing E. A. Shaver, chairman; c. B. Coe, sec retary.
 The Wood convention elected the following county committee:
 J. w. Lindley, chairman.
 Claude Erwin, secretary.
 Glass township, F. M. Parsons.

Complete Returns Show Davis Has Won Over Judge Wood
 By a Large Vote.

Little Rock, April 2. Com plete retures from thirty-siz counties give the popular vote on governor in last Saturdays primary for Davis 37,632, Wood 28, ,946.
 The same ratio if continued
 throughout the state will give GovsDavis a majority of about T,5O0, and would make the tatal vote of the state in the primary about 135. .0O0.
 Marion county was heard from
 yesterday for the first time.
 Davis carried the county by 300.
 This gives him 57 counties with D22O delegates.
 Diligent efforts are being made Ito round up the vote on associate justice so as to settle the remark ably close race between McCul- loch and Moose. The McCulloch forces claim 220 delegates, or within two of the number re- quired to nominate. The Moose forces claim 214 delegates, with a few more counties to hear from.
 Ordinarily it is possible to as- certain the name of the winner within forty eight hours after a state primary is held, but in the 11H0aent case the conditions are Dlesl llal.

EASTER IN THE CHURCHES.

Easter day is the greatest of l all days with Christian people, because 1t was the rising day of Him whose human life began with His birth in Bethlehem, and ended on the cross.
 The time-honored custom of holding special services to com memorate the resurrection was well observed in the Methodist and the Episcopal churches Sun day.
 These two churches had made elaborate preparations in the decoration of altar, and chancel.
 There was more than the customary display of lilies, ferns and palms.
 At the Methodist church Easter music and a sermon on the res- erection at the morning service, and in the evening a musical program was rendered. Mr. Wyke presided at the organ, and his playing was much enjoyed; his offertory was one of the best rendered selections we have ever heard. The following pro- gram was carried out.
