TOWN AND
COUNTY
Conductor Brott and family of Van Buren,
was registered at the Eureka Hotel on last Monday.
H. H. Trice, of Monticello, was in the
city yesterday and the guest of his daughter, Mrs. Lizzie Leverett.
W. S. Clark and his amiable and
accomplished daughter, Miss Fannie, of Greenville, Miss., was registered at the
Eureka Hotel Sunday last.
Messrs. Sims, Reynolds, Chapman, Johnson
and Davis, of Chicot county, were registered at the Eureka Hotel on Sunday last,
enroute to Little Rock.
Dr. W. T. Smith, the able and fluent
writer of the Bradley County Democrat, called in to see us on Friday last. The
Doctor says that the Democrat is booming.
Mr. J. A. Swift and R. C. Wallis, of
Warren, Bradley county, passed through this place on Friday last on the way to
New Orleans to see the World's Exposition.
In the burnt district several new houses
are nearing completion. Among the number is the new drugstore of Dunaway &
Co. They will move into it in a week or ten days.
Mr. H. H. Halley, of Halley, Ark., who
has been on a visit to the New Orleans Exposition, passed through this place
Saturday last en route home. He speaks in glowing terms of the
Exposition.
We had the pleasure of meeting with Mr.
C. A. Eberle, with J. F. Imbs & Co., Millers, St. Louis, Sunday last. He has
been on an extended visit to the Crescent City, where he went to take in the
World's Exposition. He was on his return home being one of the passengers on the
Paris C. Brown.
James Murphy, Esq., one of the legal
members of the bar of our city, returned last week from New Orleans where he
went to view the sites. He was much pleased with the attractions offered,
especially the Exposition. He informed us that Arkansas walked off with three
gold medals for the finest display of apples. Glad to note his return home in
excellent health.
Quite an agreeable party was given at the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. Bob Hallows to little Flora Whitehill on Friday last
in honor of her birthday. Flora is the bright and beautiful little daughter of
Capt. and Mrs. J. M. Whitehill who has just reached her twelfth year. Quite a
number of her little friends assembled together on this occasion and many were
the little tokens offered up to Miss Flora for many more such reunions in the
future. A bountiful repast was spread and the little folks seemed to enjoy
themselves to heart's content.
WATSON WAVELETS
WATSON, ARK., February 27, 1885--After a
storm and bustle in legal matters, a serene calm has settled on the surface of
our surroundings. While all is "quiet on the Potomac," the agents and pillars of
the Penal Code are not idle in the discharge of their duties, but zealously
protect the goddess of the law against all intrusion and insult. A warrant was
sworn out before J. B. Hester, Esq., Justice of the Peace of Red Fork township,
against Dr. Jamison, of Ecclesiastical farm in this section for "getting money
under false pretenses," a charge rather hard to sustain. Having taken a change
of venue to L. W. Watson, Esq., his case will be ventilated in the morning at 10
o'clock. Not knowing the true status of the cause now pending, we refrain from
any unkind comment. If he be guilty, our statute prescribes the redress; if he
be innocent, let him be restored to his social and personal liberty, and let him
go hence where all stand alike under the "vine and fig tree" of equal rights.
Hon. X. J. Pindall and G. W. Joslyn, Esq., are billed for the defendant and Col.
Moore for the State and possibly these gentlemen can and will furnish an
interesting entertainment.
....
Our friends of Chester
township are trying hard to leave us and return to Arkansas county. While we
have our regrets in losing so many good and useful citizens from the realm of
Desha county, yet we do not blame them and only hope they will contribute to the
advancement of the county of their adoption.
Hon. X. J. Pindall, Col. Moore and J. B.
Brown, Esq., were appointed as commissioners of the Honorable Circuit Court of
this district to confer with Hon. W. B. Peterson, County Judge and secure an
order and appropriation from said County Court looking towards the permanent
repairs of the public buildings in said Watson District. The gentlemen appointed
by the court are the right men in the right place, and in due season we shall
hear from them. Our courthouse is a mockery and reflects but little credit upon
the management or liberality of those in power.
....
Very
Respectfully,
GROVER
