COLLEGE,.
Teacher Elected to Take Place o.
Prof. Crittend den, Which Will Ma
teriaIiy Aid the Work.

The Branch Normal college will
open on Monday. September 4. Dur
ing the summer extensive repairs

the interior of the building presents
a very pleasing appearance.
At it's June meeting the board of
trustees elected a teacher to succeed
Prof. w. B. Crittenden. who resigned
at the beginning of the last school
year. This position was vacant all
the term, and Prof. Fisher found him
self very much overworked in filing
the duties of the principalship. teach
ing his own classes and doing a part
of the work of the absent teacher at
the same time. But this has been
remedied for the coming year. The
rupils and many friends of Prof. Isaac
Fisher will be glad to know that he
las been unanimously reelected to
be principal, and that he will asain
conduct the affairs of the school dur
ing the coming year.

delivered the following lecture to the
negro:

to keep the streets clear Of loafers.
We have no room for them in Pine
Fluff. There is work here for every
one who will work; and more especial
ly is there no reason for a man of
your strength and health to loaf about
the streets idly. There are already
too many Of your type here. and pro-
pose to get rid of them on the streets.
II is just such characters that breed
trouble and crime in a city. and it
is far better to check the disease in
it's infancy than to permit it to run
into crimes of more ugly nature,
when property and even life may
endangered. In assessing this fine
against you. let me offer you this adj
vice. Never come before me on this
charge again. Go to work, and when
you get work stick to it. You have had
several jobs, and kept none of them
You are shiftless and unsteady in
your habits. Now, when you get this
fine worked out go to work and make
a man out of yourself"

Mr.. Rhoton found a list of the Jelin-

he returned yesterday from Perryville,
where he has been attending circuit

There are about 300 corporations
on the list given to Mr.. Rhoton. The
secretary of state recently compiled a
list of the corpora tons which had
failed to file the certificates and found
that there were about 1900 delin-
ouents in the state. He has mailed
lists of the delinquent companies to

EVIL TO INDIANA CITY
Woman's Prophesy Starts Wholesale
Exodus From Marion.

indianapolis, August l6.-Hundreos
of families are leaving Marion because
of a prediction by Mrs. Viola Powell
that the city is soontobe visited by
disaster, the full extent OF which she
does not know nor exactly what form
i. is to take Some time ago she
prophesied that all evil places would
he uprooted and that much of the
worst element of the city would be
scattered. Since that time forty OF
the 1OS saloons and all the pool rooms
have been closed and all gamblers
have been run out of the place.
Mrs. Powell is not a religious Ia
matte. but is the mother of four child
rem. and domestic in her tastes. She
saws she has "seen the signs in the
heavens in the form of stars"

shipped from California, when accom-
panied by positive proof Of their
origin, are permitted to enter the city.
There are now plenty of lemons to
be had on the local market, and all
apprehension of a famine has passed.
The retail merchants are suffering
with the practically universal ennui
of the city. Strange to say, the coun-
try people seem to have been affect
ed by the yellow fever scare, and are
rot coming to town in any great num-
bers as usual. AS a result, the local
merchants and business men are COM
PEELED to depend almost entirely upon
the patronage of the city folk.
Perhaps the big hotels of the city
are worse hit by the quarantine than
any other place of business. Both the
Trulock and Arlington are, of course,
dependent upon the transient business
for their support. and this patronage
has been almost entirely cut off from
them. and they are doing little or
nothing just now. True, there are
still few drummers who drop into
the city on their usual rounds. but
even this class of patronage has been
greatly limited by the quarantine.
The public generally has stopped trav-
cling, because travelling now is done
under such difficulties that only those
who are absolutely compelled to make
a journey will take the trouble
making the start
Even the saloon men are complain
ing of the stagnation of business. and
there seems to be some cause for
their complaint.

NEW ORLEANS FRElGHTS
DIFFERENCE OF OPINION ARISES
BETWEEN THE STATE AND
LOCAL AUTHORITIES
Little Rock Gazette Is of the Opinio ion
That Weight of Authority or
Side Of State Board.

A difference of opinion has arisen
between state and local health author
tiles in Arkansas. not generally speak
ing, but in one instance. as to the
admissibility of freight shipments
from New Orleans. says the Little
Rock Gazette Surgeon-General Wy
man and Surgeon White of the marine
hospital service recommend that
freight from New Orleans, other than
bananas, be allowed to be shipped af-
ter fumisation under the direction Of
the marine hospital service.
The Pine Bluff health authorities
held up a carload of sugar which had
been shipped from New Orleans. Pres
ident Cantrell of the state board of
health recommended to the Pine
Bluff board of health that the ship
ment be fumigated and then deliver
ed to the consignees.
It appears that the weight of author
ity is with President Cantrell. 1t is.
of course, possible that the Pine
Bluff health authorities. taking the
opposite view, may maintain a strict
quarantine against any city which &C
cepts the advice of the marine hos
pital heads in this matter
The state health officers coincide
with the marine hospital surgeons in
the belief that there is no harm in
admitting fumigated barrels Of sugar
from New Orleans.
Citizens generally will entertain the
hope that it is a case of the majority
being right A sugar famine on top
of the other Inconvenience of the
quarantine would materially increase
the disadvantages under which the
greater part of the south is laboring tc
