COSMOS CLUB.
Anniversary Meeting Held with Mrs. Baugh and Members Delightfully."-
 Entertained.

The Cosmos Club held its Ninth An niyersary on Monday, Feb. l7th, at the home of Mrs. Joseph D. Baugh.
 This Club is strictly literary club, but on the above occasion it dispensed with its usual program and indulged in lighter form of amusement. It being so near St. Valentine Day, the entertainment partook of the char acter of a celebration to this Saint. The house was beautifully and artis- tically decorated ill hearts. On entering, each guest was presen- ted with part of valentine, and was required to find the one holding the other part, who constituted her partner for the afternoon. A beautiful book of poems was awarded to Miss Emma Jones for be- ing the first one to match her valen- tine. Each guest having found her partner, was told to write a valentine descriptive of the charms and of her feelings toward her; then the couple were requested to stand and read their production to the other guests, which occasioned great merriment. However considering the length of time given, the valentines reflected credit on their composers.
 At the close of the contest, vote was taken as 10 whose poetry was best. Mrs. David Hatcher was, in the opin- ion of the majority of the guests. poet ess laureate, and was given a lovely boquet of carnations and ferns
 A contest as to quotations then fol- lowed, and several ladies giving the correct author of all quotations, were permitted to draw for the prize, Mrs. F. C. Nicely being the fortunate one, was presented with dainty cup and saucer.
 Refreshments, consisting of salad course and coffee, were served
 There were about sixty ladies pres ent, each Club member having had the privilege of inviting one guest, and at the leave-taking each expressed herself as being greatly indebted to the com mittee, Mesdames Barrow, Baugh and Norton, to whose efforts this, one of the most perfect and beautifully car ried out entertainments of the season, was due.
 The Club members feel especially proud of the manner in which their committee conducted this, the Ninth Anniversary of the Cosmos Club.

PUBLIC SPEAKING
Candidates for Representative Address a Large and Appreciatiye Audience
 at Court House Saturday Night

The court house was comfortably filled Saturday night with ladies and gentlemen to listen to the introduc- tion and views of the various candl- dates for representative of St. Francis counly.
 The meeting was not for the pur- pose of the candidates making any set speeches, but simply for the purpose of announcing their candidacy and making preliminary arrangements and appointments for the canvass Hon. O. B. Rollwage was elected chairman, and in his usual happy manner introduced Hon. J. W. Moore, the present incumbent. MT. Moore acknowledged the introduction, and briefly stated his record, and said If he had made any mistakes, they were not errors of the heart. He outlined his policy for the next legislature, If elected, and promised to abide by the will of the people.
 Prof. Chas k. Mathis was then pre- sented. Time was limited, and he could only outline the various good things he was in favor of-1mproye- ment in public roads, better county schools, reduction in taxation purity in politics, punishment of boodlerS, etc. He was listened to attentiyely and frequently applauded.
 Col. Y. E. Izard was the next aspir ant for legislative honors. He referred to his work as state senator and en- deayored to show his fitness for the position of representative on account of his familiarity with legislative duties.
 Col. $. E. Sweet, of the Garden of Eden, was then introduced. He briefly announced his candidacy, promising nothing but his punctuality in draw ing the s6 per day and mileage; said he would never, if elected, violate the trust imposed on him, but would work and vote for the people-the whole people. He then proceeded to compliment the various candidates on what they promis sed to do, but asked the question, why wasn't 1t done when they were in the legislature The chairman then attempted to introduce MT. W. A. Pace, but the au- dience seemed to be getting tired, and proceeded to lemonize the speaker.
 After the speaking Messrs. A. l. Stevens and W. F.. Williams announc- ed their candidacy for sheriff of St. Francis county.
 The first speaking will be held at Wheatley on Monday, March I'd, and end at Forrest City, Tuesday night, March 24.
