From the News, January F.
 The county school text book board had a very interesting meet ing this week.
 Miss Lillie Dolan had the mis- fortune to break one of her arms. while playing on the ground at the school house, at recess, on Thurs day.
 Judge Stone opened the regular January term of the county court on Monday. A few minor cases. were disposed of and the court ad- journed until next Thursday.
 Gabrael Davie, the colored man who was held in the sum of SIooo for assaulting another negro on Christmas night at Harris place, near Fourche, was fined S and costs. The complainant failed to appear.
 Judge Stone held court here this. week. He left on Wednesday for Little Rock, where he will look after the interest of his son, who is a candidate for page in the House cf Representatives. We extend our best wishes to him, as he is bright and promising young man.
 There has been quite a change in the Perry Mercantile Go. of Perry, in the past few days, the. stock having been divided, T. E.. Holmes moving his part into the Higgins building, where he will do business in the future. After the division was made G. B. Col. win sold his interest to Dr. A. F. Leigi and Henry B. Nagel, who will continue to do business in the brick store, occupied by the Perry Mercantile Co. The change adds one more mercantile concern to the hustling town of Perry, and stronger the competition, cheape the goods. To the new concer ns,. we wish them much success.

begin to think hard of such treat ment. There have been two bug gies broken on that road in the last 10 days. We think MT. Sow ell is right about the road commis- sioner-he is not needed at all. It's money thrown away. Our neighborhood would have better roads under the old law. There are men in here that have not worked on the road in ten years.
