 cate in Capitol City.

Little Rock, Nov. Io-During the past few days, Charles C. Reid congressman of this district, has been in Little Rock looking over some property, and from the nature of that shown him by local real es- tate men, and the subsequent search for office room by Congressman Reid, 1t is inferred that he is con
 templating moving to Little Rock to make his home here in the future. MT. Reid has returned to his home i'll Morrilton, without making pub- lie his plans for the future, but in- innate friends admit he IS contem- plating moving to Little Rock and opening an office here to practice law between sessions of Congress. There is another rumor going the rounds, which has not been denied that i'll the event Congressman Reid moves to Little Rock, he will enter into law partnership with Charles Jacobson, who will move from his present office to suit of rooms to be taken by the firm. Charles Jacobson refuses to discuss the proposition, though he has not denied that such deal is on foot. Real estate men confirm the report

March 2s.-It seems that
spring came this year before the
scheduled time. During the warm
weather the peach buds nearly all
showed their beauty by opening.
Last Thursday the weather chang.
ed from rain to snow and from
warm to cold. The peach crop is
nearly all froze and IT. the apple
crop falls short, there will be a
great scarcity of fruit, again, this
year.
Thursday, March 10, one
hundred and eight people,
relatives and family, gathered
around the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ambrose Casper to celebrate Mr..

long table was spread on which
many good things to eat were
placed. Immediately after dinner
many presents were given to him
by his friends. The occasion was
one long to be remembered by the
many friends present.

Immediately after his speech u.

utes. The next thing on hand,
after the:speaking, was dinner. So
preparation was made and a long
table was spread and upon it was
plenty for all, and some left over.
In the afternoon the crowd greatly
increased in numbers and it was a
general picnic for the young peo-
pie. The Rock and the Academy

innings) which terminated in a
score of 2 to 2. g. H. Park kept

present, to be one of the quietest
and most peaceable games ever
