PRESCOTT SHOULD ACT!

The merchants in some of our neigh boring towns are organizing themselves into corporations for the purpose of holding annual county fairs each year, and it is an industrial feature that every county seat town should adopt. Those merchants who are backing such projects will find that ultimately It will prove paying venture and be direct benefit to their private businesses, be- sides.
 Aside from the certainty of financial success, there are other reasons why Prescott and Nevada county should have a fair association. Its educa- tional side is not the least important as stockraising and agriculture gener- ally would be greatly benefited and those engaged in these pursuits inspir- ed to greater things. Then it would provide for Prescott's friends splendid entertainment during the several days it held forth, and there would be sure to be an increase in the volume of trade that comes to this city.
 This is one of the numerous things that make the organization of a busi- ness mems league most essential. When one stops to consider the great amount of work that such an organization could take up and how much it means to the welfare of Prescott, it is, indeed, strange that we are so slow in making it reality. Let's make Prescott a Christmas present of such an organiza, tion!

January 5 as the date for holding the city primary election to nomi- nate candidates for mayor and other officers.
 Mayor A. c. Stuart, who is now rounding out his third term has been petitioned by nearly all the leading merchants to stand for another term, and has respon- ed that he will do so. MT. Stuart recently secured a new special charter for the city, and the bar of the city, with practical un. animity a few days ago presented him with petition urging that the best interests of the nun icipality demanded that he should serve the first term as mayor un- CT this new charter.
 During the six years he has been mayor Mr. Stuart has dis. played remarkable executive ab ility, and has by persistent and determined effort succeeded in making of Texarkana, Tex, one of the most peaceable and law abding cities in the Southwest.

v F-s78 777 M 2 Mas New Husband

To know when, and when not, to laugh has made many a mans and many wOman'S, fortune. One of the rare exceptions, which proves the truth of this, is Mas New Husband. This screaming musical farce does not give you time to exercise discretion. 1t forces you to. laugh, whether you like to or not, and to laugh all the time. In fact it is a despository for unlimited laughs on which you draw tantly for two hours and thirty minutes. See it at the opera house next Wednesday evening.

The Clio DeveIopme nfs.

Rison, Nov. 30.-Not denying that the fuSillade of shots which resulted in the death of Thomas Godfrey and A. R. McEwen at Clio Monday came from the offices of the Bluff City Lumber Com. pany, and not denying that they were involved in the affray, Bert Mccartney, the superintendent of the mill at Clio, and the em- ployes of the company arrest ed with him on charge of murder, indicated today that they would virtually plead self defense, by en- deavoring to show that Godfrey and Clarence Bush, who is thought to have been shot at the same time Godfrey and McEwen were killed, but who has mysteri ously disappeared, precipitated the trouble.
 It was a case of acting in self defense, standing up to be killed or running like dogs" declared Mccartney, and the sentiment was echoed by the other prisoners who were present when the state ment was made. This attitude of the defendants was not disclosed in court, as the defense put an end to the plans for preliminary hearing by waiving examination. l Me Cartney's statement, which has been quoted ended detailed history of events leading up tc Mondays tragedy.

That mistletoe controversy continues unabated. There were a number out driving that yes terday, and some were quite sue cessful in finding the evergreen, it is said. However, we are ad- vised of the fact that some of the couples searched in vain, and were forced to draw on their i'm aginatiOn in the matter.
 We have heard of many mean people, but the meanest young man in Arkansas, if not in the nation, is the young fellow who, with the aid of a fair confederate invaded a certain parlor one Sun day evening not long since where a young lady was entertaining her beau, and voluntarily, yea, with malice aforethought, sue cessfully started dull game of forty-two to replace game of two" that was at least million times more enjoyable. That young man is about forty rods beyond "the limit" and it is said could hardly be dissuaded from playing a second game, although the first one was not finished un- til 1920 p. m.

Our Enemies Themselves

In a recent number of Bon forts Wine and Spirit Circular, the ablest liquor paper in the United States, said: "Of course, if our business is wrong per SC, we will not be able to defend it, and it will fall, and it ought to fall"
 John Atherton's statement made in 1886 is quoted by the same paper in which he said: If the wine and spirit trade cannot be successfully defended before the bar of puphc sentiment, ii ought to fall" Then the editor adds: We say it with empha- sis today: The traffic is either good for mankind or it is bad. Ii it is bad, it should not be licens ed. No fanantical prohibitionist can be more advanced on this question than we are" Further on he says: The tough saloor has become the spectre, the nightmare of civilization"
