Business

One of the most popular livery
stables in this part of the country is
that conducted by w. J. White G.
Son, A. E.. on West Main street. The
business was first established many
years ago, but was purchased by it's
present owners about three years
since, and under their capable direc-
ton the patronage has steadily in
creased. Messrs. White keep from
twelve to eighteen head of horses
constantly on hand and are buying
and selling good horse flesh all the
time. Their livery horses are un-
surpassed for style and speed, while
their stock of vehicles includes eyery-

Arkansas, taking all in all, is one
OF the healthiest states in the union.
and Nevada is one of the very health
lest counties of the state. | base this
study upon twenty years study and
practical experience in the county
and a general knowledge OF the
healthfulness of other states. The
health of Arkansas, at one time, 1t
is true. was poor. because of the
lack of hygiene and unsanitary con-
ditions. but that was years ago. and
is thing of the past. The general
health of Arkansas has wonderfully
improved in the last ten years, on
account of better sanitary conditions,
better living and better under
standing OF facts. Add to this a
general Improvement of the river
banks. the draining OF low lands
and the adoption of modern methods
of preventing disease, together with
better dwelling houses. we have elm
mated all unhealthy conditions to
great extent, and placed Arkansas
on par with any section OF the
United States.

A Fashionable and Leading Empo
rum of Up-to-Date Millinery.

1t is to be admitted without argu-
ment that the millinery business is OF
paramount Importance to the fair
sex, for a lady is never we'll dressed
if the head ornament is deficient
and among those who have attained
distinction, as well as merited recog-
milton in Prescott is Mrs. T. G.
Moody, on West Main street. Mrs.
Moody is an accomplished lady with
years of experience in her line Of
work, and has been conducting her
present business about a year and a
half, having purchased the same
from Mrs. Moncrief, since which time
she has been enjoying large and
honstant trade among the foremost
ladies of the city, as well as others
who come many miles in order TO
buy of Mrs. Moody and be assured
that they are getting Fashion
Favorites. She carries an elegant
line of hats, bonnets, flowers, feath-
ers, plumes, tips, ribbons, etc, and
with three and four trained assist
ants she is able to execute all orders
quickly in most artistic manner
and to the eminent satisfaction of
the most exacting customer. Mrs.
Moody visits the leading markets reg
ularly and keeps closely in touch
with prevailing styles, and her dis
play is at all times a complete re-
view of the modes of the hour. She
buys all that is most desirable and
embodies 1t with original concep-
tions. and with true artistic zeal her
work is carried on till the result is a
design com binng the best ideas of
both Partisan and American cities.
while those patronizing Mrs. Moody
are given the work at about half the
city cost The success with which
she has conducted her business re-
fleets great credit upon the ability
and tact of Mrs. Moody, and her large
trade Is the result of her wide ae-
quaintance, amiable disposition and
accommodating manner. Personally
she is a most agreeable lady, an
earnest worker in the Christian
church. and has an established posi-
ton in the best circles of society, in
which her warm personal friends
are legion.

Our Oldest Blacksmith and Wagon
Business and q Pioneer Citizen. .

Business and Pioneer Citizen. a.
The great value of the blacksmith
and wagon shop is demonstrated by
the fact that ii is of necessity almost
the pioneer industry of any commu
nifty or settlement. but there is an
art in everything and it is important
in shoeing a horse or repairing wag-
ons, etc, that it be done right In
1859 Oliver S. Jones came to Arkan-
sas from his native state of Georgia.
Before the war broke out Mr.. Jones
was learning his trade as a black
smith, and after full service in the
war he returned to the business and
has been continuously at 1t ever
since. Today he lives in house on
a good So acre farm Just outside the
city limits, where he has resided for
the past thirty-eight years, and is
perhaps as we'll known as any man
of the county. Mr.. Jones and his
son, Charles, who has been assisting
him the past five years, does all
kinds of blacksmith work and
horseshoeing, and repairs wagons,
buggies. implements or farm machin-
cry and tools, and it is enough when
we say he does it right and at most
reasonable prices, as he has time
and again demonstrated to our
farmers and horse owners that he
is equal to any kind of a job in his
line of work, and at his shop, just
opposite the court house. is finely
equipped for the prompt and proper
execution of all work entrusted tc
him. Mr.. Jones has been prominent
among our people Tor many years
IN 1892 he Was sent 10 the legisa-
tare. and while there his work was
hard and honest for the good Of The
people His bill. prohibiting the
sale of liquors within ten miles Of

city. closed up and ended forever the
saloon business Of Prescott, and 70
matter whether while i'll the clerk

Der of the school board for eight
years, or at work in his shop. il is
characteristic of him to put forth his
best and most conscientious efforts
and on account OF this he holds the
highest honor and esteem of on
people.
