PRETTY HOME WEDDING.

One of the prettiest home we'd dings of the season, and one that was especially interesting because of the large number of relatives and friends of the high contracting parties in this city, was the quiet marriage of Miss Minnie Drummond of this city and Mr. Frank B. Morehead, which was solemnized at the home of the brides parents, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Drummond, in East Newport Monday eyen- ing in the presence of the i'm mediate relatives and a few inti- mate friends. Dr. Cadesman Pope, in a few well chosen words said the ceremony which made this happy young couple man and wife.
 For the occasion the Drum mond home was beautifully dec orated and presented a pretty scene with it's green foliage and bright huSd blossoms. For the ceremony the bride wore an ex- quisite costume of old rose silk with trimmings of white and hat to match.
 The large number of presents received was a token of the high esteem these two young people are held, in the estimation of their many friends. Immediate ly after the ceremony MT. and Mrs. Morehead left on the 10:50 o'clock train for St. Louis where they will visit a week before going to Earle, Arkansas, where they will make their home.
 The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Drummond of this city, and has a host of friends, made by her sweet ness of disposition and sterling traits of character, while the groom is a southern gentleman, prominently connected, and is one of the leading young busi- ness men in his section of the state.
 A useful and happy welded life is the wish of a multitude of friends, who join the Indepen- dent in wishing them godspeed.

TRIALS OF WEARY
 NEWSPAPER MAN.

One of the trials of a. newspa- per office, says a local exchange, comes in the shape of late copy. It is sent in at the latest moment possible. The printer is expected to shape it up and have it appear in the best position and free from errors. After a struggle for an hour, the paper late and every body out of humor, we Ego to press. 7 An hour after the pa- per leaves the office the tele- phone rings. The editor drops his pencil and lets go a thought he is chasing to answer. There rings in his ear voice demand ing if that is you, Mr. ~, and being assured the right man held tie receiver the voice proceeds to remind him that he has made quite a "bungle'' of his or her l5>py and indicates by tone and ;w0l 'ds in which there is little of t:se Christ spirit the editor heard the preacher talk about the Sun day before. In fact there is nothing in the communication to elevate the editor or make his life brighter or happier. To tell fns truth it brings him and the devil v;sry close together.
 People should know that most editors are human and some of tn ,m who have not been in the b .siness very long still have fe elings.

LEGISLATURE TO
 AUTHORIZE PAYMENT.
The 'Gov. Dan w. Jones' Notes Subject of Special Men- tion By Treasurer Tipton
 and Auditor Monroe.

Little Rock, Nov. IA. State Treasurer H. c. Tipton has com piled the statement of financial transactions of the state for the two years ending September 30, 1904, which will be egas~odied in his biennial report.
 He recommends, as dcas Audi ! tor T. c. Monroe, that the evil dences of indebtedness against the sinking fund known as the Gov. Jones notes, | be taken up by the next legislature and the authority given for their pay ment.
 These notes were made by Gov. Dan w. Jones to enable the state to meet one of the condi- tions of the compromise settle ment between the state and thq5 United States government in 1897, it being specified that the state should pay the general gov ernment within a specified time the sum of $160,000.
 To enable the state to meet this requirement. 1t became nec- essary to borrow from the inter- nal revenue fund S59, 339. 10, and from the swamp land fund S44, 576.85. Notes were executed by the Governor, payable to these funds, for the sum borrowed from each respectively, the notes bearing interest at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum.
 The. notes are carried as charge against the State Treas-h | ury. As the loan was made fG1 the purpose of paying a de against the State, they became charge against and are pad able out of the sinking fund.
 There is at present a sufficient sum to the credit of the sinking fund for the liquidation of one of these notes, and by August, 1905, there will have accumu- lated sufficient amount to take up the other one.

i '''' '';fl '';;fl{.,.... II, ,ooQ Acres Heporta Sold to Michigan Syndicate AreLo- cated in White River
 Bottoms.

lue purchase OI llt, JUL acres of land in the White river bot toms in Arkansas and more than 14,000>acres In the St. Francis river bottoms in Missouri by a Michigan syndicate, following the recent drainage congress at Brinkley, Ark, presages more than ordinary progress in that part of the great region known as the Southwest, says the Pop laf Bluff Citizen.
 It was proposed at the drainage congress at Brinkley, at which , there was 115 delegates, to ask the state legislatures of Mis- souri and Arkansas and the United States government for an appropriation which will in the total amount to nearly $3,000,- ,- 900. for the purpose of building ditches which it is designed will carry the water from 5000, 900 acres of land reported by the fboards of agriculture of the two states and members of the fed sral geographic survey to be as fertile as any section of the United States.
 The purchase of the Michigan syndicate is designed to cover timber lands, fruit farms, in vestments and vast tracts for growing wheat, corn, tame tasgasses, cotton and tobacco, and houses will be built on each forty acres.
 The sale, 1t is understood, was made on basis of $6 an acre for swamp lands and $7.50 an acre for the uplands, or that part of the tract bought that will not need drainage.
 Five years ago this land was valued at SIPS an acre for the swamp lands and about twice as much for the upiands.

NEW JOCKEYS THE
STARS THIS YEAR

Good riders are very plentiful on the
turf these days. When last fall none OF
the big millionaires mad e~xtravagant
contracts with any of the boys then
riding 1t was predicted that there would
be tall scrambling in the spring because
there was then no new crop of riders in
sight.
The winter tracks. however, are won
derful developers of riding material IL
they do not afford any other benefit to
racing. To New Orleans the turf Is this
year indebted for Phillips. who is by
long odds the best rider developed at
that course. To Hot Springs the turf
Is indebted for Cormack. who is n OF
the most promising riders of the sea-
son. From the West has come Hide
brand. also one OF the crack riders Of
this season. Then there are Travers
and J. Jones from California. and tho
two Hennessys from New Orleans.
These are not classed in the first dlvi-
SION, but are promising.
Fuller Seems to Have Gone Back.
a yea New Orleans produced tho
cracks OF the season-Fuller. Hicks and
Frank O'Neill. This year Fuller seems
to have been relegated to the back num-
bers, and Hicks weighs so much that
his mounts are very few. C'Ncill is at
present incapacitated through n fall,
but when riding was in just as rood
form as last year.
OF the old guard Shaw is in fine
form and Burns Is riding as we'll as
he ever did in his life. There was a
disposition on the part of turfmen to
pass odom up in the early part OF the
season, but ne forced his way into
favor by his brilliant work in the sad
die and is easily the master OF all the
riders.
pullman spends more time on the
ground than in the saddle because OF
his bad behavior at the post. He Will
soon find himself forgotten. Cochran
