The Easter Hunt on last Friday af-
ternoon, given by Elizabeth McDOn-
nell to her little friends, was quite en-
ioyable. Little Misses jolly and Dean
won the prizes for finding the greatest
number Of eggs.
The Easter services at the Methodist
church Sunday were interesting and
we'll attended. The church wal beau
tifully decorated and the choir did
%justice to the occasion. Mrs. A. T.
Stovall at the organveriAed her skin
as a musician, and Miss Hilary Ward
beautifully rendered an appropriate
solo.

Miss Josie Frazie Capplemau, Of
Little Rock, Ark, who is recognized
as n Of the most brilliant and TALENT
ed women of our fair South land, has
presented to "The Ladies Book Club
Of this city q beautiful "gavel," made
by q student Of the University Of
Arkansas. To the lovely donor,
whom we delight to call 'our Own
Dear JOSIE is waited the sincere
thanks Of the club members. :
CAN a girl a chick and she smiles;
call q woman a hen and she scOwls.
Call q young woman q witch and she
is pleased; call an old woman a witch
and she is indignant. Call a girl q
kitten and she rather likes It; call a
woman q cat and she hates you.
Women are queer. If you call a man a
gay dog it will iatter him; call him a
pup, a hound or a cur, and he will try
to alter the map Of yonr face. He
doesn't mind being called a bull or
bear, yet he will object to being mem
toned as a calf or a cub. Men are
queer, too.
Any who takes the time to visit
the immense Cotton Oil Mills just east
Of this city, will be readily convinced
that it is a great institution, a big
thing for It's operators and the great
est Improvement for Okolona that has
ever been added in a single year. The
business of the company this first year
has been perfectly satisfactory and
already plans are made for still greatly
enlarging the plant. An engine twice
the size OF the first one installed will
beplaced in the Ginnery, and the gin
itself will be doubled in size. The
Oil Mills are in most excellent hands,
is operated clearly and scientifically
and mean good returns for the in
vestors as well as increased business
for the city.
