Proposed Pardon of "Red Mitchell, the Negro kur-
 derer, Causes a Stir.

Quite deal of excitement and talk has been caused in Brinkley the past week by the report that an effort was being made to secure the pardon of "Red'' Mitchell. the negro murderer, recently sentenced to 7 years in the penitentiary, by Judge Chapline.
 The report that w. E. Kelly, pr. P. E. Terry and one or two others had been to Little Rock ard sought to in- fluence Gov Davis to grant the pardon of Mitchell. caused the circulation of a petition to Gov. Davis asking that no Interference Le lad and tEat "Red Mitchell. the negro murderer, De allow ed to serve hisfull term in the peniten-

fiary. The petition was earnestly signed by great mass of our good citizens and has been forwarded to Gov. Davis.
 In connection with this case it is not out of place to call attention to the fact that there has never been any matter which the ENTIRE PEOPLE of 8rinkley were so near unit on, as in .,heir desire that the law be allowed to take it's course in this case.
 So intense was the indignation of our people at the criminal record of "Red' and his ability to slip out of and evade punishment that popular fund was raised and counsel employed to see that justice was meted out to him at the recent trial for murder and this resulted in his conviction.

G0ssIPY COLUMN. The Beer Club.

"A man doesn't have to be a christian or even church member he need only be sober nlan-to see # is dangerous and bad policy for beer clubs to be allowed to disgrace our city by their methods of debauchery. l do not know who the members of the Brink ley Beer Club are but l am quite sure that if had the most unquench able thirst, even. that would have too much personal pride (f fer no other reason) to have if known and talked about that was member of such a set, or dlsgraceful organization.

 Rev. Sid. H. Babcock was over from Forrest City Thursday evening tc hold the second quarterly conference of the Brinkley Methodist church. Presiding Elder Little could not come on account of the severe illness of his little daughter.
 -DiED-The little son of MT. ard Mrs. John H. Stovall, named John H., Jr. aged one year and seven months died at their home on Grand avenue yesterday evening and will be buried this afternoon at Oak Lawn cemetery. Rev ]. c. Harris will officiate.
 "A prominent Brinkley citizen tcld the writer this week that certain par ties were seen coming south on New York Avenue last Sunday evening with boquets of flowers which they said had been taken from the cemetery. Per haps these parties gathered these flowers thoughtlessly because they ad- mired them and did not consider the matter seriously. So a word on the matter may not be amiss. Tor the first offense of this sort, or for other tresspassing at the cemetery, the city ordinance provides a fine of $500. For second offense the fine is from $500 10 $50 %.
 Attorney A. F. Maberry of Cot ton Plant, and J. w. B. Robinson, of Clarendon, were here Monday to at tend a called meeting of the Cache River Levee Board. For some cause, no others interested came, se the meeting did not take place. June l2 is the date set for the next meet ing. It seems that the Cache River levee subject has not yet been suffi ciently agitated to create very wide spread enthusiasm. Perhaps ! little more publicity on the benefits of the proposed levee would help bloom the move. If the parties actively interes ted would give this little more sys- tematic attention, they would doubt lessssee good results.
 The ladies of Brinkley and sur rounding towns, who have postponed attending to their wants in the milli nery line, should take notice that Miss Harmed, the very clever and efficien. milliner and designer at Mrs Emma Flora & Cos, will close her season with Mrs. Flora and will leave Brink ley in few days now. Mrs. Flora has never enjoyed So large and satis- factory patronage in her millinery de partment' as this season. She has sold to nearly all Of the particular dressers of this and surrounding towns. The work of Miss Harned has been most pleasing in every detail and Mrs. Flora & Co. desire that all of their patrons and friends, who expect to need the services of the milliner soon, should call as early as possible as Miss Harmed will leave soon on her Sum- mer vacation.
