Fayetteville, Arkansas, the seat of
Washington county, is one of the old
est, dearest, and most aristocratic
of ante bellum southern cities, and
its career is recorded in song and
story. A most beautiful and senti-
mental little city 1t is, builded upon
seven hills as was the Rome OF old,
it has forever been securely barricad-
ed against the ravages of sordid
commerce with its attendant evils of
money-devils. frenzied finance and

of truth and righteousness in their
hearts and sympathy in their souls.
So ultra-human are the happy people
of that city that, were you to go there
on urgent business-say. for instance
to purchase a train load of the finest
apples old earth has yet produced -
the man who had them to sell would
postpone the barter as long as you
would allow him; he would ask you

go with him TO that wonderful stream
where the finest striped bass in the
south can be caught; or. perchance,
he would wave a wirless or

Want the Union Depot Plans Enlarg

a committee of the Chamber OF
Commerce representing the business
men of this city met Sunday after
noon to go over the proposed plans
submitted by the Katy for the Katy
Frisco Union Depot in this city, and
after much discussion 1t was decid-
ed that the plans were too small and
that a depot built along that line
would give very little accommoda-
tion to the patrons of the road here.
1t was decided that the plans be work
ed over by local architects, Jewell
Hicks. who, while following the same
floor plan would enlarge everything
so as to make the waiting room about
twice as large as that proposed by
the Katy. The plans will then be
turned over to the Corporation Com
mission and the Railroads for final
approval.

WHO'S WHO HERE

Arkansas, where he was known by
almost every person in It. he was
their Prince and their Priest and
their prophet; that his home was the
gathering place for the splendid peo-
pie of the whole country side-a
happy place whore the young folks
loved to go and linger, where older
folks felt lonesome away from and
where welcome to all was strictly un-
limited. But we must rush along,
as this brief bit concerns son Of
his father.
Dr. A. S. Hagood was born on May
20. 1876, at Cane Hill. close to Fay
ettevillv where he went when sixteen
after attending that magnificent
southern college at Cane Hill. For
the next four years the young man
spent at the University of Arkansas
at Fayetteville which by the way. is
one of the best in the south. At the
beginning of the Spanlsh-American
war DR.. Hagood went out with the
First Arkansas. and was on special
detail duty in his professional work
while the regiment was in the field.
After the brief war DR.. Hagood en-
tered the University of Missouri,
Medical Department. where he soon
acquired the honor of being one OF
the most attentive students in that
college, and he still maintains the
reputation of being a profound stu
dent OF all things that pertain to his
profession. DR.. Hagood is a progress
sive thinker, a lover of research,
which is Gle Fly attested by his fire.
quent postgraduate courses at the
internationally celebrated Johns Hop
kins College at Baltimore, Md. While
still a young man he has earned a
reputation in his chosen profession,
and yet he feels that his most serious
studies are before him in the ever
changing, ever improving profession,
and he means to give 1t the best
that is in him.
Few men in Durant and Bryan
county are better or more favorably
known than DR.. A. S. Hagood. Big
of mind and big of body, he is YER
liable storage battery of youth and
energy, and possesses a personality
as pleasing as was that of the tabled
Adonis. In his younger days he was
locally celebrated athlete and Sc
cured the necessary training to keep
him in prefect form until the present
time. By nature he is as gentle as
the dove sent out by Father Noah, yet
he is rugged, withal a man among
men. Even as this is put to paper
Hagood is trudging through the
mountains of eastern Oklahoma with
party of friends, fishing in the icy
cold trout streams, "roosting" COB
blers at night. or chasing the willy
buck among the crags and peaks; on
such trips he can use the bare earth
as a couch and the cold stars as a
covering and preserve his even, joy.
full poise as though he were dream
ing in the comforts of his own mod
ern home.
DR.. Hagood is a friend of mankind
in the truest and largest sense. and
enjoys the confidence of the masses.
He is one of Durant's most promin-
eut citizens, a successful man. a most
: pleasing conversationalist, a royal
neighbor, most useful man to have
in any city.

Velpet in the Winter Clothes

The gist of much advice concern
ing the fashionable clothes for the
winter of 1915 is this: Pile as much
fur as you can afford on coats, suits
and frocks. Additional advice might
be worded thus: Pile it on a velvet
foundation
Velvet is the most fashionable fab
ric of the season.
Velvet, however, is not a fabric for
everyday wear on the part of the
woman who has not much money to
spend for clothes. 1t is at best a
rather fragile fabric and it is expen-
Sive-a combination of circumstances
which should make one hesitate to
buy it unless one can afford many
clothes. In the cheap qualities, vel
vet does not wear we'll and even in
the expensive qualities it wrinkles
rather badly-and of course it can
not be pressed satisfactorily.
The woman who can afford a suit
just for occasional wear, for matinees.
for smart luncheons, for afternoon
receptions, however. can do no bet
ter than to choose velvet for this
suit, if she can also afford to buv vel
vet OF a good quality. Cotton velvet
and velveteen. too, in an expensive
quality. are in good fashion. and Of
course these fabrics do cut down the
price OF suit or frock below that
paid for silk velvet
At present most of the velvet suits
are trimmed with fur, in the form of
collars, cuffs and coat hens. But
there are some smart ones without
the peltry trimming. and probably
before the winter is over there will
be many more smart suits without
a trimming Of fur.
There are all sorts of fancy velvets
-plaids and wide stripes and pin
stripes. And OF course fancy velvet
ribbons come in for their share in
the general craze for ribbon TRIM
ming. There are some lovely figured
velvet ribbons. with all the colors of
the rainbow in them.
Velour, and plush as well, share
The Washington herald., 1915-10-17

popularity with velvet. They are all
used in hats. Indeed, a felt hat is
seldom seen excepting for sports
wear.
The Winters Muns.
The rnuff of the winter is not very
large. 1t is often decidedly barrel
shaped-long and round. 1t is made
of any of the fashionable furs, of vel
vet. brocade, plush and velour.
There are some very smart muff
and collar sets made of velvet and
fur and silk, and there are some of
the three-piece sets, of muff, collar
and toque, that were so smartly worn
last winter.
One of these sets is made of cerise
velvet. The collar consists of a wide,
stiff-standing portion across the back
OF the neck, with two pointed ends
that are knotted under the chin. The
muff is made of a>strip of velvet with
pointed ends, tied quite fanta stically,
but with warm. padded cavity for
the hands some place in the knot,
nevertheless.
Another striking set consists of a
black velvet frill that stands up at
the back of the neck, and is fastened
under the chin with four velvet
straps, each decorated with a small
red or yellow silk apple The muff
is maze of black velvet, laid in dag
onal pleats, and is about eighteen
inches long. but quite diminutive in
circumference. At each end two
large apples, one red, one yellow, dec
oratc it.
The Innings of some of the new
muffs and collars arc of brilliantly
figured silks, some of true futurist
pattern and color. They add much
to the chic of the dark velvet or fur
pieces.
At the recent Whitney fashion
show in New York some of the new
muffs were shown with two small
pockets, a separate one for each hand,
and doubtless this sort of rnuff will
be one of the fads of the winter. An
other thing shown there was cord
about the neck from which the mufi
was suspended We used to wear
our muffs in this way, and they were
then a part OF the costume, not a
mere warmth-giving accessory. to be
laid aside as soon as we went indoors.
So this winter at teas and other aft
ernoon gatherings nuffs will often
be worn about the neck as decorat-
i've part of the frock or suit.
The Transformation.
Transformation is a name that used
to be applied to a certain piece OF
false hair that in truth transformed
the appearance of its wearer. There
is now Transformation gown, an
other novelty exploited by the Whit
ney show. This new sort of dress has
the big French designers behind it.
They have listened to the plea OF
the women who would be simply
dressed in the street and at the same
The Washington herald., 1915-10-17

time presentable for a restaurant din
ner and the theater. Hence the
transformation garment. In it a
woman could ride with comfort in a
crowded subway train, and yet in it
a woman could enter any hotel res
taurant assured that she need not be
ashamed of her frock.
This new costume is made UP of
rather elaborate one-piece frock of
some light or bright color and elab-
crate material. About the bottom of
it there is a very wide hem of some
dark color. And there is a coat to
match the hem, coat covering all
of the one-piece frock save the wide
hem at the bottom. Ono of the
frocks shown was by Worth. and is
of cream-colored Ottoman silk, with
an embroidered bodice trimmed with
silver lace and jet, a really elaborate
and beautiful frosk A wide hem OF
black velvet finished the skirt. Over
the frock was worn long black vel
vet coat, with fur collar-and the
whole costume was at once suited to
street and indoors wear.
Fur Prices Rising.
There is strong probability that
before the winter is over fur will
command an almost prohibitive price,
excepting for women with much
money to spend for clothes. So if
you have any bits of fur, big or lit
tie, make the most of them. Take
them to your furrier or to your tailor
or your dressmaker to have them
made over into something you can
wear.

"REMINISCENCES Of
FAMOUS OLD HOTEL

Judge Goodwin, in writing of the
history of the International hotel Of
Virginia City which was recently de-
stroyed by fire, tells OF the utter lack
of shelter the first winter on the bleak
sides of Mt. Davidson. There were
no houses. no food, no shelter. He
says: that was the situation when
Ike Bateman arrived. 1t needed but
a glance to show him how much a ho-
tel was needed. He had a little mon
ey. he found a partner with a little
more and they began work. Lumber
was worth about 25 cents a pound, and
canvas was high, but they p~ersevered
and the first International hotel was
built. B street was a story higher
than c street, SO the hotel had a two
story front on c and one story. on B.
There was a bar, an office and a few
rooms on the C street front, but the
upper story was a single room, run
ming from street to street. Here the
beds yer about 18 inches wide and
about 18 inches apart. The room was
filled to ~suffocation every night and
half the day, for when a man rose in
the morning there was a tired man
waiting t. get a few hours Of sleep.
If what happened in that long room
that winter could be written 1t would
surely make a catchy book.
Lieutenant Governor Anderson told
the writer his experience. Worn COM
pletely out by a trip from Placer
Vile, he reached Virginia City at
nlghtfall and asked for a room.
There was nc room vacant but a bed
in about the middle of the long room
was rendered him. He thankfully ac-
cepted and retired. He was too weary
to sleep for hours, but about midnight
was falling into a doze when two men
at the lower end OF the room began
talking.
by this time all the beds were
filled. The men continued to talk un-
til a man at the upper end said: "oh
dry up and let us go to sleepi"
Then one of the takers answered
back: mi be blankety BANKED IL 1

of the room came the response: All
the same you will, you blankety blank
son Of a sea cook and then there
was the click that denoted a pistol
was cooked. This was answered by
another click from the @ street end,
and then all up and down the room
men were rising in their beds and
crying: You two blankety blank
segregated idiots, don't you dare
shoot here or when the doctors dis
sect you they will think they have
found a new lead mine
Then Anderson slipped from his
bed, found his clothes, went down
stairs. dressed himself in a corner and
dozed by the stove the rest of tho
night, declaring that he was not
nearly sleepy enough to go to bed.
Between the lodgings and the bar
the hotel soon paid for itself and laier
was transformed Into a really fine
structure of brick with a story added
and until long after the bonanza days
was the leading hotel in Nevada"
