So prohibition accomplished affects
him directly who has been taking his

When the mail stage arrived Mon- day evening, the people of this city after waiting day longer than sched- ule time for their mail, went to the postoffice only to be informed that no letter mail had arrived, but that in- stead of the frst-class Hot Springs mail the Dawson letters had been de- livered at this postoffice.
 The people of this city and surround ing country who are dependent upon this service are indignant that such an inexcusable mistake should have happened.
 It will now be at least another week before this city will receive another mail, and there is no telling when this mail which has gone astray will be To- eata5

Surprise Party on nr. and Mrs. Drake

Tuesday was the fourth anniversary of the marriage of Deputy Marshal and Mrs. J. F. Drake. In some way this. fact was ascertained by some of their many friends who thought it only, proper that the day should be observed.
 With this end in view word was passed
 around that, without the knowledge of
 the marshal and his wife, everybody should meet and go in body to their home and celebrate the day.
 The result was the largest gather ing that has ever met in a private
 home in Hot Springs. Nearly every
 body in the city was there to pay their
 respects and offer congratulations and good wishes to this popular couple. Several gentlemen brought along their musical instruments, and through out the evening the guests were enter
 tained by various pleasing selections. After the surprise of the occasion
 had worn off the host and hostess de- voted their attentions to seeing that everybody enjoyed themselves, in which they were very successful. In view of MT. and Mrs. Drake being taken by surprise, each guest brought along some little delicacy and these were served later in the evening, after which the company returned to their homes we'll pleased with the evenings
