BEN HAWTHORNE AGAIN AR RESTED FOR SELLING WH1sk- EY-TRlAL FRIDAY MORNING.

Ben Hawthorne, who gained lit tie notoriety some few weeks ago, when he was arrested and convicted of selling whiskey, is again in the hands Of the law, and for the same offense. It seems that the last fine of $50 and trimmings. did not cure him of his determination to sell whis- key i'll Springdale, and since that time the officers have been on the look out for him, but were unable to make landing until Tuesday after noon Of this week.
 It is alleged that Hawthorne made sale to Earl Arnold, a local dray man, during the afternoon, and a few hours later he was arrested by Mar shal Liehlyter and Constable Bagett. He was taken before Mayor Lane, where he made a bond in the sum of $250, and his trial set for Friday morning, this week, at ten o'clock.
 Hawthorne evidently thinks that Springdale is a good town to dis pose of his wares in, and must expect 70 run" regardless of the law. It will be remembered that he gave Constable Baggett quite a foot race when arrested last time, and was only captured atfer stopping to rest at a farm house near Lowell He paid his fine and was released.
 It is understood that the present case is an unusually strong one, and that there is little doubt of his guilt, and it is also understood hat Hawthorne is being furnished whiskey by unknown parties, and that he makes the sales, but does not real ize all that he gets for his labors. The officials expect to create quite stir in the city, when his case is called for trial, and will in all prob

FIREWORKS JULY 4TH.

On account of the dry weather it
 was thought best by those in charge of the 4th of July celebration to dis pense with the usual fireworks, and none have been advertised. The rains of Monday and Tuesday have
 broken the drouth, and the committee immediately wired to headquarters for a supply Of the latest fireworks. The display has arrived. and they will be used as an added feature in the evening. While the display will not be as large as has been given in celebrations heretofore, they are good, and will prove amusing and entertaining to the large crowd that
 will remain for them \ large stand will be erected in the park near the Auditorium. and the display will be red from there. The sham battle  will in al probability end about four o'clock, and the first attraction of the evening will be concert by the combined bands present that day, which starts at six o'clock. fol- lowing this treat will come the fire
 works at the park and then comes
 the attraction at the Auditorium, The Man From Borneo." The day s fun will close at mid night with a volley fired by Company A and
 the blowing of taps by the company
 bugler.

 CITY MEAT MARKET

\ deal was closed Saturday of last week, whereby L. D. Petross be- comes the owner of the City Meat Market The change came as a gen uine surprise to many Springdale peo- pie. as no intimation of such a, change had been given out by eith- CT Mir Brogdon, the owner, or Mr. Petross. Mir. Brogdon has not an nounced any future plans, other than that he will work in the market for some time, until Mir. Petross makes other arrangements, and after that he expects to make a short trip west, and look over some land in Colorado he received in making the deal. Mr. Petross. the new owner, needs no introduction to Springdale patrons, as he has been here almost his en- tire life. and that the same courteous treatment, and quick service will be given all patrons is a foregone con- clusion. Mir Brogdon will be assist ed in the market by butcher, Mr Hatfield, from Fayetteville, who ar rived Monday.

 You have children to educate. You want good schools that your children may have advantages equal to those given the children of the mall-order man Tn the city.
 Do you not know that when you buv of the mall-order man instead of the mer- chants of thls town you are taking away from the opportunities your children should have?
 The schools are supported by taxes ot zvhlfH Me= =mal/-o1ufr maH uoes not bay one eent W hh1s tolvn, but the money you are sending to the city means greater wealth and more money in the school funds of the city, and less wealth and less money Tn the school funds of this town.
