THE HENDRIX LECTURE COURSE
Fine List of Attractions for En-
 suing Year.
Course Opens Tuesday, October 30, with Entertainment by Juanita Boyn-
 ton Company.

A fine list of attractions has been secured by the committee in charge of the Hendrix College lecture course for the season of I8o6-o7. The course is varied one, and includes some celebrities in the field of entertainment.
 The opening attraction will be given Tuesday night, October 30, by the Juanita Boyntoi Company. This is a talented musical and dramatic company, composed of Juanita Boynton, reader; Ethel Johnson, soprano; Pallas Brown, violinist; and Annie Lewis Vivian, pianist The opening feature is one of the most expensive and said to be one of the best on the course.
 The next attraction will be the Wm. Owen Shakepearan Compa- ny, composed of ten splendid dramatists, who render several Shakespearean plays. Their most successful play is Romeo and Juliet, and this will probably be the one given here.
 In the latter part of January "The Floyds" will appear. This entertainment is composed of won- derful features of magic, inter- spersed with some spectacular H. lusions, and comes recommended as high class attraction.
 The only lecture in the course will be delivered in February by Rev. Mattison w. Chase. Dr.. Chase has several popular sub iects for his lectures, and press comments show that he has made very favorable impression wher- ever he has appeared. His lec- lures are popularly characterized as eloquent interminglings of philosophy, wit, sentiment and common sense.
 Herbert A. Sprague, the we'll known impersonator, will close the course in March. As a char acter impersonator, he is aid to have in no superior, and he may be trusted to please the most critical.
 The committee Ill charge of course has arranged to have every attraction reach Conway on the morning train. This will elim- mate the disappointments of last season, when the lecturers attempt ed to get here on the evening trains, which were generally late. They also have the promise of the Bureau that no appointments will be cancelled, unless for providen- tial cause.

A True Test of Axle Grease.

A good way to find out the dur ability of different Axle Grease is advised by The Joseph Dixon Crucible Company of Jersey City.
 This Company makes Graphite Axle Grease which they have named 'Everlasting;;" to show its lasting power they suggest putting their Graphite Axle Grease on both axles on one side of the wagon, while the axles on the other side ot the wagon are to be greased with some other Axle Grease. It is then easy to see which grease lasts the longest by noticing which side of the wagon needs first attention.
 A test of this kind should appeal to all who use Axle Grease i'll any quantity.
 The Dixon Company further of fers to supply free can ot their grease tor this test on receipt ot a postal card addressed to their office at Jersey City, N. J. It

FIRE DESTROYS DWELLINGS
Residence Property Burned
 Thursday Night.
E. l. Vaughn and Mrs. Reyburn Peay Lose Property in Fire Originating in a
 Defective Flue.

Fire last Thursday night destroy ed two residences on Center street, belonging to E. J. Vaughn and Mrs. Reyburn Peay of Little Rock. The loss was about S2ooo, on which there was SI2oo insurance.
 The fire was discovered about $40 o'clock in the roof of the Vaughn residence. It originated from a defective f1ue in the sout : west room. A stove had just been ! put up and the first fire of the seas on built in it, and shortly after wards the occupants discovered the upper part of the building i'll flames. The fire had made such progress that it was impossible to save any of the contents of the house.
 l The flames were communicated from the Vaughn house to cottage belonging to Mrs. Reyburn Peay of Little Rock, situated about 10 feet north. This house was occu- pied by Rev. ]. l.. Bryant and fam fly and everal boarding students of Hendrix College. Nearly all of MT. Bryant's effects were saved.
 MT. Vaughn carried s4oo and Mrs. Peay $500 insurance on the property burned.
 Much comment has been made over the i ct that the Peay cottage kcould have been easily saved with even one line of hose and an ad- 4 1equate water pressure, had the city been equipped with waterworks. Other adjacent property was also threatened, and if the wind had been stronger, they would doubt less have been burned.

COTTON MOVING RAPIDLY
Nearly 1900 Bales Received Here In Four
 Days During Past Week.

The movement for the last four days of last week was very rapid i, nearly 400 bales being received here during that time. The move ment, however. was almost entire ly stopped by the rains this week.
 The market has been tending upward during the week, and last Friday the IT. cent mark was reach ed. Since then it suffered a de- cline and the price offered yester- day was 1oA cents tor mlddling, about s points better than the price of week ago.
 Up to Tuesday night 3676 bales had been bought here, an increase of 1000 bales over the same date last year. The price being paid is I35 points better than that ot yesterday year ago.
 Weather Conditions Alarming.
 The continued rains since Sun day have done an enormous amount of damage to the cotton crop, according to The Log Cabin Democrats correspondents over the county. Local cotton men also take a very pessimistic view of the situation. They especially fear the result of the damage by rain Ill case picking is resumed before the cotton has time to dry. A number of merchants, as we'll as the man. agement of the local oil mill ex- pressed the opinion to The Log Cabin Democrat, that if cotton IS picked before 1t is allowed to be- come completely dry, not ouly will the staple be of a much lower grade, but the seed will be practic- ally worthless The local buyers state that they are now forced to sell according to grade instead of average receipts and that even il the market should remain around the eleven-cent mark for middling cotton, not more than seven or eight cents could be paid for cotton picked immediately after the pres ent wet spell.

PROPERTY IS NOT "REAL'
Little Rock Party Wants to Sell Lots Here
 Which do not Exist

Oscar H. Vim of Little Rock has written parties i'll this city of- fering to sell certain lots in the city which do not appear on the map, and according to real estate men, never existed. MT. Vim doubtless has deeds to the property, however, and is acting in good faith.
 The property offered for sale is said to lie in Vau hn's addition to the city. It is described as lots numbered from 7 to I2 inclusive, in blocks 4, 5 and 10 of this addi- ton. In the original Vaughn's s addition, which is now nearly all included in the Hendrix College campus, all but the three blocks mentioned above were divided in to lots each, but blocks 1, 5 and 10 contained only six lots. Some 2 or IS years ago, however, the assessor in making up his assess ment placed lots 7 to I2 in each of these blocks on the tax books. Of course, no taxes were paid on them and they were forfeited to the state at the delinquent tax sale. It is supposed that MT. Vim obtained them through the state land office, but he evidently has acquired title to property that never existed.
