What They Say About Leon L. Rice In
other Cities,

Mr.. Rice's recital was attended by one
Of the largest audiences that has ever
honored a musician in this city. He
possesses a clear, rich tenor voice,
strong and pleasing, and he has already
won the hearts Of the music lovers of
Little Rock. His work earned for him
many ~flattering compliments. His voice
is well adapted to pathetic songs and
also to those Of a highly dramatic order.
The whole recital was a musical treat
as is seldom enjoyed in this city.-Lit-
tie Rock Democrat.

crowded to its utmost capacity and
many went away, being unable to get in.
A musical selection was rendered by
Frank King, which received much APP
plause. Next was the play Little Red
Riding Hood" which Was we'll played.
All the characters were ably executed.
The hunters songs and the country
quadrille were important features. Miss
Eleanor Sutton, as "Little Red Riding
Hood" was very fine; and the wolf
was faultlessly acted by Sam Colmery.
The Palm Drill followed the play, and
was n of the prettiest drills ever seer
at the auditorium. The participants

Henderson & Baird,
Fancy Prices Offered for Fine
H0me- Bred Stock,

DR.. W. T. Johnson has ten fine brood
mares on his New Hope plantation, and
is succeeding very nicely in his stock
raising experiment. His manager, Mr..
D. W. Topp, was recently offered $4,000
for a pair of young mules raised on New
Hope their ages being two and four
years old respectively next July. He
was also offered $4,000 for a pair of
horse colts which will be two wears old
in July.
How are these prices for home bred
stock? DIR. Johnson says the offers
were refused in both instances, as the
mules and horses are worth as much 10
him as anybody else.
