Arkansas Hospitality.


 Reached the high water mark on the night of Friday May :. when the members of the Arkansas Club" of Washington and Lee University were Yhe guests of Messieurs Fletcher B. l Clement of Amity. and Levi T. Wilson l of Jonesboro.
 At ten o'colck the guests assembled at Mr. Wilson's rooms. Intellectual discussions of events in Arkansas, en- tertained the members, the monoting being broken now and then by the iocular remarks of MT. Tucker of Pine Bluff.
 At Eleven thirty o'clock, supper was announced and the guests were lead to handsome den, where the eyes of all opened wide at the boun teous repast spread before them. No one voiced loss of appetite. \ strenuous effort was made on all sides to clean the board" but defeat was the result, much to the disgust { of Messrs. Tucker, Barrow and Brack. A smoker followed the repast and the feast was voted "the best ever.".
 President Dale, of Texarkana, then called the meeting to order, and a resolution was passed accepting the challenges of number of other State clubs. to games of baseball. Presi- dent Dale was then elected manager. and Mir. Barrow, by unanimous vote. was elected captain of the team. .Af- ter parting congratulations to the hosts, the party repaired to the streets, whence the slumbering inhab- itants of Lexington were aroused by the volcanic notes of the Arkan- sas yell.
 Those present at the banquet were: Armstrong Barrow, Pine Bluff; John Il. Tucker, Jr., Pine Bluff; Vivian o. brack' Little Rock; Fletcher B. Cle- ment' Amlty; J. R. Dale, Jr., Tex arkana; w. B.
