FLAG RAISING A HOT TIME AT HOT SPRINGS. July 3rd celebrated in a noble and interesting, way. In the morning the citizens and people began to gather on the public square where a very fine picture was taken of the city, then they took up the line of march and headed by Mr. Ira Plemmons assembled to the highest point of the mountain--known as "Plemmons -and there, with very appropriate services, raised the Stars and Stripes. The floating of Old Glory was under the auspices of Messrs.

Ira Plemmons, of Hot Springs; John C. W. Bischoff, of Charleston, S. C. H.

Cline, of Dallas, Texas, and Arthur T. Lee, of Ravenna, Ohio. ONE OF THE PARTY. Dispensary Claims Another Victim On last Saturday afternoon Fidil Phillips and Allen Henderson, son of Starling, became engaged in an altercation in a store near the ferry boat landing which resulted in Phillips shooting Henderson who died Sunday. Phillips has not ye.

been taken into custody. It is said they were both drinking. Death of Francis Runnion. Francis Runnion, who has been sick for sometime with typhoid fever, died about 2:30 o'clock Sunday morning and was buried Sunday afternoon at the Redmon cemetery. He was an excellent young man, cut off in the bloom of youth.

It was certainly a sad death, his father having died sometime ago, he being the only son. His mother and three sisters are left to mourn his loss and we sympathize with them with all our heart in this great loss. THE MODERN COUNTRY GIRL. Chicago Tribune. The old-fashioned country girl of fiction, the girl with "the rustic woodland air" of poetry, the unsophisticated girl of the imagination of sophisticated city folks has disappeared and in her place is a highly intellectual maiden to whom rusticity is a matter of psycological analysis and unsophistication a sociological problem.

As the country girl is in so many cases a college girl, a new value has been given to country life. To her "'The meanest flower that blows" can give not only thoughts that lie too deep for tears, but can also afford, opportunity for the use of a knowledge of botany. She understands the psycological value of sunburn and the chemical constituents of fresh air. She talks learnedly about soils and subsoils and has an idea about the rotation of crops. She may be discovered "coming through the ten to one, her interest is in the quality of the rye rather than in any.

amorous wayfarer, and should she meet the song hero it is likely that she would ask his opinion upon some agricultural question rather than his sympathy for her loveless state. There is no doubt that in the future one must look in the old songs and romances for the oldtime country girl, but in real life would anyone dare to prefer the blushes of unsophistication to the pale cast of thought?
