 A man in neigh boring town who secured his wife through matrimon- ial agency, says an exchange, Is trying to secure divorce. Just another in. stance of finding that mail order bar gains are not just as represented and that a much better grade of the same article could have been obtained at home. Good enough for him: he ought to patronize home industry. The home grown article is usu ally the best.
 Mir. s. r. McDaniel has taken the agency for the Jack-of-All.Trades Gas oline Engine, and has one on exhibj- tion at his shop on the South side of the railroad.

 Invitations have been sent out by Mrs. Pauline Goddard to attend swell masquerade ball at the Marion hotel tonight, and the attendance promises to be very large. The admission will be $l % per couple, and we presume invitations will have to be presented at the door, or other means of identity established. We long for the days of old when we could trip the light fantaS- tic along with the best of them, but that time has gone long time since.
 The J. w. Beck Company are re. modelling their stureroom fixtures. Handsome shelving; specially adapted to the several depaftments-dry goods, dress goods, clothing and shoes-the latter reaching to the ceiling and equip ped with running ladders, are being put up. The room will be papered and painted, and the front also will be painted. Handsome floor cases have been ordered,and when completed, they will have one of the most attractive places of business in town.
 Wholesale men and merchants are thoroughly aroused concerning the of the old line fire insur- ance companies on March because of the anti trust bill, and the subject is receiving the attention of every firm of any magnitude ir the city. While the majority do not state positively that they will leave the state if the insur- ance companies quit business, they say without qualification that they cannot afford to risk the earnings of life time in such manner as would be the case should they be unable to secure insurance after March Little Rock Gazette.
 Judge Hugh Coffey, of Palestine, who was recently a victim of alleged smallpox, was in the city Wednesday and gave us pleasant call He don't seem to think the disease was small pox at all, and if 80, it is of very light form, and leaves no pits. He rather thinks it what is called Cuban Itch. He also says that though his wife occupied the same bed with him, she has not taken the disease. The citizens of that part of the county are laughing at our recent quarantine, it being case of locking the stable after the horse is stolen. There is not now a case in that township.
 MT, II. Y. Gum has resigned his sit- nation with Mir. Robt. l.. Pettus and resumed his old situation as travelling salesman for the Daniel Grain Com. panv, of Little Rock. Mrs. Gum and the children will leave probably tomor- row for Little Rock to reside, having purchased home in that city. The Times regrets to lose this estimable family, and had hoped they were per ] manently located in this city. We have han the pleasure of Mir. Gunn's | acquaintance since he has been in this | city, and always found him very gen.
 ial and worthy gentleman. We wish
 him success in his present efforts.
