NO DAMAGE FROM
 GOLD WEATHER
Only Accident Reported in Pine Bluff Death of Mule
 Which Slipped on Paving.

The coldest December weather ex- Dcricnced in years, in Pine Bluff, vis- ited this city and section Sunday, Sun day night and yesterday, and ice which formed early Sunday was still hard and firm late last night with indications that it would remain so fer some hours to come.
 Comparatively few houscholders appear to have suffered financial loss because of broken water pipes, as a result of the freeze Ample warning given them was apparently sufficient to cause them to protect exposed pipes, hence the small amount of loss.
 The death of a mule, which slipped at Pine and West Barraque streets late Saturday, was perhaps the only accident of it's kind in this section. The mule was owned by a peddler.
 Reports from the rural districts in- dicate that little or no damage or harm was done by the cold weather in the farming districts. Reports were received also to the effect that as a result of the freezing weather, a large number of hunting parties had gone after game in various parts of this and adjoining counties.

The plot of High ,Jinks," which Arthur Hammerstein will present at the Elks Theatre, Dec. 1S concerns a lot of people and their wives tangled up in q maze of mistaken identities. Paris and q French bathing resort furnish the background. A marvellous invention in the form of perfume mere whiff of which makes every body hilarious, keeps the plot moving gaily along by getting the people con cerned into trouble and out of it again. When troubles get too threat ening, somebody only has to wave I handkerchief saturated with the mag ic perfume, and everybody breaks in- stantly into song and dance and laughter.
