COMPREHENSION PLAYERS.

The entire cast of 15 players takes part in the play. The Douthitt- Will son Players are booked indefinitely at the Palace theatre, Little Rock, but on account of the Shriners' minstrel being presented tonight and tomorrow at that playhouse, the company has two open dates. The Gazette had the following to say of the company's ap- pearancs at the Palace Tuesday night:
 ''The Douthitt- Wilson Musical Com edy Company, which began an en- gagement at the Palace yesterday, is so much better than the Gay New Workers that it cannot be considered in the same class. The company gives a good show. There are about 15 people in the company, six in the chorus and both principals and cho- rus can sing. B. D. Wilson, who has the Irish character part of McGinty, may be remembered as former vaudeville comedian, having played successful engagement several years ago at the Majestic in a clever travesty. He and George Marshall as McManus have the chief comedy roles in "A Woman in the Case a farce, with music, which is em- bellished by special scenery carried by the company" Seats on sale at Florence's, at 15, 25 and 35 cents.

ICE IN WINTER.

As 1 have nothing to do, as there are but very few people in our town that use ice during the winter sea- son, l thought that 1 would like to ask the housekeepers of our town if they had ever attempted to figure out whether it would be economy to use ice during the winter season or not? Ideas and ideals are what make people and the next thing is to find out by actual experience whether your idea is correct or not. My idea is that it is economy to keep your refrigerator running the year around. Many others by their actions say that it is not a paying investment. You |all know that the less man knows the more certain he is that he is the "real thing" It is well said that a little knowledge is dangerous" As a rule after a man passes the stage where he admitted that "there are others," he usually becomes a useful citizen and desirable member of society. Any customer that has not been using ice during the winter and wants to see whether my idea is right or wrong, I will show him that my heart is right by filling his refriger- ator tomorrow free of charge to him. Don't read this and pass the same by, but call up and let us see if l am not correct If l am not, no one the loser but me. am your friend,
 dit R. B. McCulloch.

IN MEMORY.

The death angel has visited our community and church and taken for its victim our beloved brother, J. J. Fortson. He was born October 29, 1869, and died February 5, 1917. After two weeks of suffering he passed from this life to the life be- yond. MT. Fortson professed faith in Christ early in life and united with the church he loved so much and served so lol g and well. As a man of affairs he had deep interest in humanity. He served several years as justice of the peace and filled the office with efficiency. He was an honorable member of the w. o. w. Some of the members of his lodge served as pail bearers through honor and respect for him. His home life was happy through the companion ship of his wife with whom he lived many years. Truly it can be said his was home where God was hon. ored, and where friends had a cor dial welcome. This man lived his life well, and died in the triumph of faith. He leaves a wife, nine chil- dren, and other relatives and host of friends to mourn their loss. God took him to live with Him after he had served his purpose.
