Brinkly, Ark., Society Notes.
Editor Scnny South: I am an equitable
person, and do not hesitate to say that there
are plenty of towns far superior to ours in so-
cif ty, caused, I suppose, by the congeniality
that exists therein; but I am not willing to
admit that there are any in eastern Arkansas
that can equal our railroads. The St. Louis,
Arkansas & Texas, and the Memphis & Little
Hock Kailroads, have put in several transfer
switches for the purpose of transferring
freight, etc. We understand that a union
dep't is to be built soon, and that passenger
coaches will be run from Memphis, Tenn., to
Sherman, Texas, without change, in a short
time. To te 1 of our railroad facilities would
take up too much space, therefore I hasten to
drop a few society notes and then “spread out
my ‘white wings' and sail home to”—milk the
cows.
The ice cream supper given by the ladies of
the Homan Catholic church on last Thursday
evening, was an occasion long to be remem
bered. Yes, we believe it will ever be fresh in
the memory of , well, I won’t say who,
but that was lots of money to spend for a
water-set and then fail to get it. The “old
lady” wanted one, but when I told her that
the market was up, she said she thought she
could wait awhile.
Miss Nellie Scaife, of Trenton, is here wait
ing on her father who was taken si;k several
weeks since, while en route home from
Searcy.
Misses Lillie Jackson and Julia Mathews,
two charming young ladies of Clarendon, re
turned home last week, much to the regret of
their many friends.
Miss Annie Savage, after a delightful visit
to Little Hock, has returned.
Mr. Joe Flora, of the staunch firm of J. M.
6 A. Flora, after rusticating among the val
leys of Cuba, Tenn., far some considerable
time, has returned. We wonder why he makes
those trips so often. For his health, we pre
sume, if we be allowed so to do.
Miss Etta Sturdivant is sojourneying in
Water Valley, Miss. She is one of our most
charming young ladies and is missed very
much.
Mrs. Fannie Hooker will leave soon for El
1‘aso, Tex , on a visit to her daughter, Mrs.
Minnie ltuidolph. She will remain during
the winter mouths.
lion. John B. Baxter attended the meeting
of the Exposition committee at Clarendon last
Tuesday. With him as chairman we feel con
fident in saying that Monroe county will be
well represented at the coming Exposition
which OT'eus at Little ltock on the 23rd of Oct.
Miss Lucie II licit an accomplished young
lady of Bermuda is the guest of her sister,
Mrs. K. J Kelley.
Miss Ella Hooker one of Forrest City’s
beautiful young ladies is on the road in the in
terest of your valuable paper. She was among
us yesterday.
l’rof. l’erkins, late of Mississippi, has arrived
ar.d will take charge of the public school
which opens on the T2#h. He will be assisted
by Mrs. A. W. l’arks, of Memphis, and Mrs.
M. 1). Kelley of this place.
Secretary Kiley, of the Oil Mill, after an ex
quisite trip to Canada and New York is among
us again. He is noted for his excellent ball
playing.
Ms. Joe Newman was married to Miss Hill,
of Kingville, last week, and we hear that sev-
eial more of the boys are to commit tin
same rash act soon. We wish them much
happiness.
The musical concert rendered by Mrs. A.
W. l’arks on last Tuesday evening was quite a
succ jss—was well attended and much enjoyed
by all. “White Wings” was sung very beau
tifully by Miss Elverta Cargill—and while I
think of it, I guess I’d better spread those
wings that I spoke of and sail, or else a gent e
voice will bo calling
Old Four.
Brinkley, Ark., Sept. 11th, 1887.
At Columbia, S. C\ on the (ilh inst., a mar
riage out of the ordinary line was solemized—
the governor of the State performing the cere
mony which united two bents to beat as one
iii spite of parental opposition.
The chief actors were Mr. II. A. Harth, a
young „"..er of ('“’dui'nla, and Miss Kachael
David, the beautiful daughter of a wealthy
Jewess, Mrs. Lettie David. By befriending a
brother of her who has now become his bride,
the young broker became a friend of the fami
ly, and was for two years welcomed as a visi
tor by the mother. In that time be won first
the friendship and later the love of the daugh
ter. When the latter fact came to be inspect
ed by the parent, however, the young man was
forbidden the house, but like all earnest lovers,
be persisted and sfcured the consent of the
object of his affection to a marriage and elope
ment.
The prospective bride being of the Jewish
faith, was unwilling to be married by a clergy
man; according!? tbe future groom obtained
the consent of Gov. Uichardson, tbe Chief Ex
ecutive of South Carolina, to perform the cer
emony in accordance with the right vetted in
him by law. The marriage took place at the
Executive mansion in tbe presence of a few
invited guests. The Governor officiated grace-
lully and drank the health and future prosper
ity of tbe couple he had made one.
The newly-united pair took the next train
for Knoxville, Tenn., where they are to reside,
sending from the depot a note to the bride’s
mother, conveying the information of the mar
riage of her daughter.

and classical associations.
The Palestine Park is an exact miniature of
the Holy Land, beautifully diversified with
mountains, plains and rivers; and the broad
lake which represents the Mediterranean sea,
on whose bosom ply steamers and vessels of
various kinds, with Mount Hermon, on whose
brow one may tit, with the Dead Sea at the
feet and watch the Jordan with its sacred re
miniscences, where the Israelites crossed,
while just beyond lies in grandeur the Holy
Jerusalem in papier mache, one three-hun
dredth part of its actual size; and Shiloh,
where the tabernacle rested so long; the rock
of the Temple and Mount Zion, Getbsemane,
and the Holy Sepulcher, Calvary and the
Mount of Ascension. The great pyramid of
Cheops of Ghizeb, near tbe Egyptian Nile,
stands on the terrace aud presents a sectional
view, and is supposed by some savants to con
tain within its massive stone work the snm of
human knowledge. Tbe section is so arranged
as to show tbe chambers and passages which
have been discovered within its depths. The
Homan Pathway is a successful attempt to out
line tbe events of the history of ancient Home.
Wayside tablets have been erected, each bear
ing the name and date of an important occur
rence in historv. There are some sixty, placed
at regular intervals on a scale which allows
two feet to the year. The centuries are deaig
nated by huge pillars which bear upon their
faces a summary of events of the hundred
years immediately preceding and a list of the
greatest names of the epoch and a few words
giving the distinctive features of the country
The Parthenon of Athens is represented in the
Hall of Philosophy; toe grand -Amphitheatre
designed after the Coliseum of Home, is highly
fortified by nature for this esthetical embodi
ment of assemblies, where tbe multitudes as
semble in conclaves to enjoy the “feast of rea
son and flow of soul,” of a “memory-haunting,
charm-like quality,” that give zest to the en
tertainments there. Broad avenues, fountain
tree, strange architecture, causing the uniniti
ated to wonder what it is that so strangely re
minds one of Greece and Home, of Jerusalem
and Switzerland, and yet is a forest retreat off
in “soi-distant” republican America. The
Auditorium, Chapel and Temple, with the in
ception of oriental and archeological museum.
Here, grand aud imposing, stands the Assy

ruins of Diban. Plaster Egyptian Goddess
Isis, also casts of Siloam inscriptions. Arch of
Titus, from Rome, where we trace the signs of
the fulfillment of Christ’s prophecy of the de
struction of the Temple and Holy City, and, in
has relief the sculptured story of the capture
of the golden candlestick, the Bacred vessels
and treasures of the Temp'e. The Black Obe
lisk of Shalma nesar, 8110 B. C., found at Nim
roud, with all its hieroglyphics, now
stands “in meraoriam” of its original
Necropolis. Marble head of Jupiter Am

ltosetta stone which has played so distin
guished a part in all modern bieroglyphical re
searches, with its Greek, bieroglyphical and

Kanzuuyic; tbe famous Chaldean deluge tablet
with the story of the fall of man and of the

than the Exodus. Sircopbigi, ivory, vases,
l’henician lamps, iridescent drinking cups and

Tbe promulgated Chautauquan idea was con
ceived by ihesuperintendentof inst'uci ion while
crossing the Atlantic, homeward bound from a
breathing spell under the Alps It involves a
course of study embracing the principal sub
ject of college curriculum, butoiuittng of ne
cessity its drill iu languages and mathematics—
giving thereby to the English reader an out
look over the vast area of learning and some
acquaintance with the masterpieces of litera
ture, ancient and modern, employing hand
books and compemiiinns for tbe mastery of
outlines and appointing more extensive works
to be read—a course which tbe individual could
pursue alone if necessary, yet admirably adapt
ed for associated study; for, with the auxiliary
stimulus of emulation, the students are in
cited to master the task more thoroughly.
It is sufficiently si nple to attract tbe masses
and to lead them, without discouragement
from its difficulties, to supplement in a
measure a school acquisition, aid yet so
thorough as not to be deemed superficial
by „he more learned. Above all, it is to bring
the six semlar days of the week in harmony
of .he purpose wiih the Sabbath, not only
by recognizing the Bible as a department
of its study, but more especially by having iu
entire course penetrated with ihe spirit of rev
erence and of faith. I’.s “marvellous success
has already spread itself as a young vine over
the trellis—work of many foreign lands, and
doublets rich ripe clusters may ultimately
hang on its cotmonolitan branches.”
Here lliboo lUmchandrabose, of India,
spreads his civilized and delectable sympo
sium. Wallace ltr. c •, the man of Scotch name
and lineage, but of all-world culture, personi
fies the literati of ail times and nations. To
know Bruce is a liberal education in belie-let-
tres. Prof. Burbank, the prince of orators,
without in the slightest degree violatiug the
canons of good taste, exlracts a hearty laugh
from the most critical, despondent or pessimis
tic auditor. Will Carleton’s recitals from his
own works, Dr. Fairbairn, of Oxford, Eng
land, with his 1 nt ires, I)r. Baldwin and w fi,
for years missionaries in China, give their ex
periences in the ancient empire, Miss Lydia
Von Finkelstein, of Jerusalem, who lectures
with illustrations and oriental costumes, Sau-
ranbra with his Burmese gods, temples, cus
toms and marriage paraphernalia and cere
monies, give eclat to the occasion. The illu
minated Fleet, grand phyrotecbnical display

cital, Concerts, and the graud conception of
the stereoptican foreign travel, that “Ideal
Summer Trip Beyond the Sea,” minus the

ferences,” by those who have been abroad,
supplemented by stereoptican views and pub
lic lectures.
The grand Commencement Day on fair
Chautauqua thri 1 the soul with joy—the mar
tial tread, the air filled with grand and maj :s-
tic symphonies, with the fifty floral maidens
scattering posies, passing under the Golden
Gate with its imposing .ceremonies, and the
triumphal arches, amidst the “Chautauqua
■slate,” or the blooming of the lilies. Oh, how
sweet to stand by the stream of the fount of
knowledge and ‘ drink deep,” as Pope wonld
say, of its limpid waters. Knowledge is
power, and Shakspeare says, “it is the wings
wherewith we fly to heaven ” May the stars
of the C. L S. C. ne’er grow dim, but brighter
and brighter each succeeding year, with its
“Athenian Watchfires” which are signals to
tbe thousands of the true Pierian Spring. On
the walls of the new Parthenon hangs the
historic “Banner,’’ with its mottoes, devices
and legends, purchased from a Syrian drago
man, and carried for its replete historical as
sociations to rest os the mounds, ruins, the
writings or wi rks of prominent men of uearly
every century from the age of the Ptolomies
in Egypt to the present time, it fitly symbol
izes the great movement it represents, and,
like Noah's dove, has at last found a resting
place iu the Ark of the C. L. S. C.

All About Everybody and Everything
—Must be Bead Though to be
Appreciated.
Dear Sunny South: According to promise
I’ll endeavor to give you some plain facts in
regard to our town, its growth and develop
ment. Fourteen years ago this was a pine
forest; now, it is a dual city, with its two
county-Beats, two court-houses, two post-of
fices, two municipal governments, two sys
tems of graded free schools, two systems of
water-works, in fact “two souls with but
single thought,” and that thought—“Excel
sior!” Our population is about 10,000 and
nearly equally divided. Our public fchoois
many older towns might well be proud of; the
county sch< ols are also good.
The public schools were last year opened
with misgivings, but closed satisfactorily to all.
Prof. A C. Jones, of the West-Side schools,
will cod tin ne in his honored position with ad
vanced interest; as a superintendent and dis
ciplinarian he is second to none.
The East-Side Board of Directors have en-
gaged Prof. Wm. Mosely to preside in the
magnificent brick school building, of which
we are so prond. Prof. Mosely was educated
at Emory College, Oxford, Ga., is a fine,
strong character, and of reputed ability. The
East-Side hope this year to have the school
brought to a standard of excellence which no
other similar institution in the State has yet
reached.
Besides the public schools we have the con
vent, a large brick building under the super
vision of the Homan Catholic sister-hood.
This school is well patronized and highly es
teemed.
As instructors in music our city is proud to
possess Mrs. W. G. Cook, Miss Leila Rogers
and Mrs. H W. Chappell. In art, Mrs. Paul
Joses stands pre-eminent.
As to railroads, there is never a minute’s
rest from the “clangor” and the “clamor” of
the bells; and there are yet several others to be
constructed in the near future. Iu fact, our
city owes it birth and growth to tbe railroads,
and the one fosters the other with tbe tender
reciprocity of mother and child. Bat our
maintenance is from multiplied sources
Tbe pineries surrounding us are extensive
and seemingly inexhaustible.
Red River makes a circuit from twenty to
forty miles, thus surrounding ns with the rich
bottom lands that yield abundantly to the
sympathetic touch of the farmer's implements.
These Red River lands sell at very reasonable
figures when for sale. They yield cotton, corn,
rice, potatoes, oats, wheat, millet, clover, to-
bicoo, sugar-cane, etc. R. W. Chappell, a
Red River planter of Miller county, Ark ,
brought in the first bale of cotton this season
and received fifteen cents per pound for it.
The hill farms are surprisingly productive.
In Bowis county, Texas, Mr. Wm. II. II.
Moores has for years brought in the first bale
of cotton of tbe season, and invariably takes
tbe first premium at the St. Louis Fair. So
long has our esteemed friend enjoyed this dis
tinction that he would feel that something had
gone wrong should it be accorded another.
Isn’t that pretty good for hilly land and a Texas
farmer? One don’t need to know a more hos-
oitable, generous people than Texans and Ar-
tansians.
Arkansas has a future, of the brightness of
which few have dreamed. Her climate ia un
excelled; the soil produces a wonderful variety
of fruits and vegetables; and her mines, which
are just being developed, prove to be equal to
tbe richest, aud inexhaustible. So great and
so promising are the mining interests of the
State that millions of dollars have been invested
in them within the last year.
Aud are not her men and women, her schools
and colleges taking a respectable stand among
enting attorney <f thlg judicial district. The
Cook Bros have?™* 11 U P wlth the town; by
industry and cotftant attention have reaped a
reward that pro*** grow »nd grow with
•go. W. G. Cotf. the senior, has twice been
mayor of the ea* side. He is now one of the
“city fathers-”brfias been connty examiner and
superintendent o the public schools ever since
he located here. Henderson & Tilson, Hood &
Hudgins, are lg»l lights on West Broad
street.
Texarkana is 1'essed with good physician
Drs. DeLoach it Hawkins, Dr. Talbot, Dr.
Hannon and D. -D. S. Williams, have been
among ns sine the early days. Dr. D. S.
Williams does alarge office practice and is em
inent in his specialties.
We have arista among the milliners and
modistes, who* creations would make Worth
himself lose hi*equilibrium with envy.
Our dentists, I>r Hammond and Dr. F. B.
Lewis, are scimtific operators. Dr. Lewis
came here in 18‘5, and has now a good prac
tice throughout both counties and the town.
He has substaitial property.
We have thrte daily papers, well edited and
well appreciate!-
John WheaU on > photographer, has grown a
permanency incur town. None can ever com
pete with him ii excelleccy of work and popu
larity in manner of dealing.
No town on tie globe has better nor more
elegant hotel iccommodations. New Bene
field is ever po)ular with friend and traveler.
Mr. Benefield ame here in debt and began a
small boardinghouse, but now he owns and
runs one of tht most spacious and elegantly-
fitted-up hots® anywhere. The HuckiDs
House and theCosinopohtan are all that they
should be.
Our hardwae man, II. Bohan, was a e'erk,
now runs s busness of §150,100. Albert Pur
cell, a former ilerk and book-keeper, is now
sole proprietor of the largest retail dry-goods
house in the citg-
J. H. Draughin came with a small portable
saw-mill and taught and sawed the trees in
the streets. H> is liW worth §100,000.
Burbman & (iiatfield, hardware-men, began
in a small vrWl now worth something near
§100,000.
We’ve had tie struggles and inconveniences
that all »new towns have. We have some
croakers still <u hand and will ship you free
of charge, if ym’ll promise to take good care
of them.
We have tw> good substantial banks—the
First National Bank and the Citizens’Bank.
A new bank ii to be opened as soon as tho
brick bu’ldiugian be finished for it.
Our opera-hiuse manager, Mrs. J. E Reilly
has made engsiements with some of the finest
troupes on tits oad, to delight our theatre-going
people the comng season.
Chas. Reeves son of Judge Reeves, of Texas,
was long a cleri here. He is now the propri
etor of the lirgest furniture establishment;
attached to wfcch is a large undertaker's de
partment.
J. S. Raglaoi came to Texarkana a money
less boy. He, lided by a younger brother, ed
ucated two sisers; and J. S R. has now a
large, well-assoted news and book establish
ment. The breher is doing a gold drug busi
ness in San Anonio, Tex.
The Texas nevs stand is of recent date, and
is owned by . young Mr. Whitaker, who
kindly looks ater the Sunnt South’s inter
ests. He will b sure to reach a high round of
tbe ladder.
I cannot tell tl the good things about our
town to day. I must desist and get the letter
on its way. Bon jour,
Sept. 3, ’87. Idler.
More fjom Texarkana.
the honored ot the land’
Well, we all know what Texas is and will
be—ever the “lone star" with a brilliancy pe
culiarly individual.
Arkansas soil products took so many premi
ums at the New Orleans Exposition that we
hesitate to enumerate lest we seem boastful.
Our city is freer from transgressors since the
prohihitio i fight than ever before; the Mayors
caii scarcely get up a case; and on Sundays tbe
doois are all closed, the streets quiet and still
and the churches full.
Mills innumerable run a prosperous and ex
tensive business all through the coun ry. We
need more factories; but they will come, for
there are many inducements for them.
The growth of our town is no feverish ex
citement of the hour—it is a steady, healtny
development oi substantial busmens and mute-
rial resources. There’s nothing fW-urious about
it. One fact about the capital Jr our vicinlfy
is that it is home-made, accum dated by the in
dustry and business tact of our people. Our
largest dealers began here on small or no capi
tal, and by industry aud frugality have amassed
a nice, good properly and wholesome revenues
C. C. Dorrian, a large grocerymau, began
life in Textikana as a clerk. His slock runs
away up iu the thousands, and big business
property is handsome. He has twice been
Mayor of the East or Arkansas side, and is now
a member of the City Council.
Turner Brothers began the grocery business
when Texarkana was an infant. They had
little or no capital. The two oldest brothers
worked on the railroad while the aged father,
with the younger sons, attended the small
store. By indomitable will, untiring energy
and great economy they have now the lead in
the city trade. Sons and father are kept busy
in wailing on their numerous customers. Tur
ner Bros, are from Alabama, and deserve much
credit
E A. Schbker, Mayor of the East side, has
heretofore run a bakery and confectionery,
but, laving disposed i f thim, he has now a
large feed store. John P. Kline now has the
lead in bakery ard confic’.ionerr.
Among the druggies we find Wootten &
Son, the senior member of which firm
has long been a resident of our city.
He formerly edited the Democrat. A
more popular man the town does not hold.
Since coming to Texarkana, he went to Georgia
and lived several years in Washington, Wilkes
county. Upon the death of his excellent wife,
he returned here where his children were loca
ted. The Djctor becomes well known where-
ever he goes: for be is genial and graceful in
the social circle; lenient, just and enterprising
in business; and, a true and devoted friend.

Texarkana jot now is quivering from the
effects of somi startling business failures.
But "these, too,will pass away,” only to be
followed by gras throbs of exultation at the
great boom whici is now pervading the city.
Work is braveijgoing on on the Texarkana &
Northern Ruilrod, which will open such vast
possibilities foi the future. Other roads,
whose shadows ire hovering over this plucky
little city, combned with those that we have
already, make Eighboring cities look on with
dismay, and evn make those at a distance
pause in their badlong rush, to woi der at tbe
prowess and fogress shown. Texarkana
being a dual cif, is peculiary situated. Being
partly in Tex}' and partly in Arkansas, it
makes it very nuvenient in sore things aud
very inco:.vtwiy in otters/ Fqr instance—
one shoul^ iojpgv careful when slightly in
commodeii urJK.fy matters’ to keep on tho
right side of ifts/^e dividing the two States;
for should one’s ‘nggy and horse find its way
on the o.her sideof the line they wonld soon
be held fast in lb iron clutches of the law.
There are thro pretty suburbs environing
Texarkana, whici the corporation will probably
soon absorb. O.s on the north side, which
our one street ralway has brought into life,
bears the melodiia name of Fairview—a name
more adapted toits future than its present. It
is being rapidly bnilt up, the advantages ac
cruing from thi railway giving it'strong im
petus.
On the Routh fide is “College Hill,” a pic
turesque appenclige to the city proper, thickly
settled; its wide beautiful streets, and its high
elevation, rnakiig it very desirable residence
property. To riach it, it is necessary to cross
the railroad where locomotives are puffing up
and down and trains are passing, and ten rail
way tracks to git over with speed; it gives one
a healthy circuation. of tbe blood and great
excitation of thi nerves. The citizens are now
talking of tumeling the crossing, which will
obviate all drtfiiulties. This favored region
possesses the Saratoga of Texarkana—other
wise known as Preston Springs, around which
the youth and beauty, as, also, the age and
ugliness of the city, congregate on Bummer
afternoons and on moonlight evenings. The
water resembles that of pale ale in color and
is strongly mineral. Tbe spring is two miles
from Texarkani, and as we are a driving com
munity, it is veil patronized, especially as it
has its hotel—a rustic one at that.
On the west—or Texas side—ig a village
which revels in the appropriate name of Sun
set. The last isys of the western sun gilds its
pretty rustic cottages and lightens the dreari
ness of the Catholic cemetery, which is there
located. Tho darkest blot upon the fair fame

Chills and Fevers Completely
Conquered.
A Perfect and Absolute Cure for the
Worst Cases of Chills; Also a Fine
Bemedy for Sorethroat, Head
ache, Neuralgia, Malarial
Fever and General
Debility.
Twelve months of severe suffering from
chills and fevers left me, as I supposed, a
hopeless invalid. The best physicians and
every known remedy brought me no relief and
I decided to try an invention of my own, and
to my great astonishment it effected a com
plete and permanent cure. I then determined
to send the remedy abroad for suffering hu
manity, and wherever it has gone it has pro
duced marvellous results and brought back
countless expressions of gratitude from multi
tudes who have been soundly healed by its
magic touch. In Cincinnati I refused several
times to take §5,000 for the patent, and have
since refused various liberal offers for it.
It is indeed a thorough Master of Chills,
and will destroy them completely in the worst
malarial sections where no other known rem
edy will produce any effect npon them. It has
been found also to be a fine tonic for general
debility and delicate constitutions. It will
strengthen and build them up permanently.
It is a fine appetizer, excellent remedy for
neuralgia, sorethroat, remittent and intermit
tent fevers, and has been recommended for
dyspepsia.
Try it and be healed, and then tell it to your
suffering neighbor.

an enviable reputation
As a restauranter Jno. Graham, who ha.,
grown up with the city, is nonpareil.
The firm of J. F Smith & Co., was one of
the earliest institutions when the place was
very small; indeed, when, in the drug busi
ness, “there was none their right to dispute.”
Mr. Jim Smith, the senior of the firm, is wide
ly known by his “Bile Bean” business. He
began here as a clerk, but soon accumulated
sufficient capital to start a drug store in bis
own name, and later on, began the manufac
ture and sale of his celebrated Bile Beans.
J. A. Lighlfoot & Co., Georgia boys, also do
a good substantial business in drugs.
Winstein & Kosminsky, M. J. P.unket, and
Hunzesbeiner & Klein, wholesale merchants,
ship largely to the adjacent towns in the
neighboring counties and throughout the two
States.
M. V. Flippin has long b;en one of our most
prominent supply merchants
The Kizer Lumber Co., is an immense lum
ber and mercantile incorporation of much en
terprise and large capital. The Kizers are
from Missouri.
Tbe Bowie Lumber Co., is a wealthy firm of
brothers, native Texans, with the will-force
and indominatable push of the original Texas
song.
The Gate City Lumber Co., have very ex
tensive saw and planing mills and a railroad
extending from their mills several miles into
the pineries. This railroad will be pushed to
completion in a direct line from here to Shreve
port, La.
The three mills mentioned have a joint saw
ing capacity of 150,000 feet per day; planing
capacity of almost 100,000 feet, and - a joint
capital and stock of nearly half a million dol
lars.
Oar city has the brightest future possible.
The new Kansas City & Sabine Pass, and the
Texarkana & Fort Smith Rail Roads have be
gan work and will be completed as soon as
men and money can do it. Our people lately
subscribed §110,000 to the latter. These roads
will open up fine mines ai d timber lands
whose products will come here to be manufac
tured and distributed.
We already have street cars, electric lights,
water-works, &c , notwithstanding we are only
thirteen years old and yet iu our swaddiiug
clothes.
Kelley & Bramble, arid G. A. Hays form
strong, reliable real estate companies. G. A.
Hays is an ex-teacher and it is much to the re
gret of those who appreciate good professionals
that he has given up school work to enter the
more lucrative avenue of law and real estate.
In the learned profe-sions we find T. C.
Webber, Scott & Jones, Cook Bros., and otL-
ers. T. E. Webber is the very popular prose-
undergrowth, and its broken fences, are really
disgrace to the place. Some thoughtful,
public-spirited ladies have organized a society
called “ The King’s Daughters,” whose object
is the brightening and beautifjing these Cities
of the Dead.
The Bowie Guards, a company composed of
about forty live stalwart young men, are hav
ing an armory erected—its dimensions 40 by
80 feet. A dancing club holds iu assemblies
here, with a large class of pupils in attend
ance.
Another street rail way is being talked about,
and also a paper-manufactory. As Texarkana
talk always means business, they will come.
A circulating library is just now whetting the
literary appetites of our people. The hoarse
whistle of tbe oil-mill is heard; the cotton
c imprers is in full blast, and oar business-men
walk ereci, snuffing victory iu the air.
The lumber business, which is one specialty
here, is a sure road to wealth, as our lumber
men have proven.
Camp meetings are being held within five or
six miles from the city, but the lack of enthu
siasm is disconragingly conspicuous. The in
difference shown by the city part of the congre
gations has thrown a real chill, it seems, upon
the religious fervor of those whose religion is
more emotional and demonstrative.
Trains are constantly passing through bear
ing throngs of rreity girls to di ,tant schools.
Texarkana herself has contributed over twenty
girls and as many boys who are seeking an ed
ucation abroad, notwithstanding there are two
excellent public schools here filled to overflow
ing and supplied with first class teachers.
[ Perhaps want of school accommodation forces

Oar three newspapers are a credit to this
progressive city. The Independent, edited by
Mr. Warren, takes a cool, calm and dispassion
ate view of things; while Mr. Allen, editor of
the Inter-Stale, says but little of matters and
things in general, but that little tells and strikes
home. Both of these papers are noted for their
refined and gentlemanly manner of handling
all subjects. The third paper, edited by Mr.
Vanderhart, is strongly partisan in its views,
and the editor, being young, cuts and slashes
without fear or mercy. It is noted for a quaint
and origin*) style of wording the news, aud is
a bright atld sprightly paper.
< ine of our legal lights will soon launch him

and time will tell whether he is a man “made
or marred.”
The ice factory is in full blast, and affords
electric lights for our dwellmgs and streets.
Incandeecent lights are much used, and are
generally preferred. The dust is master of the
situation at present, but occasional clouds give
promise of rain soon Nor*.

Having been shown the formula for Holmes’
Sure Cure Mouth Wash and Deutifrice. I wifi
say that from my knowledge of the therapeu
tic action of each of these substances entering
into its composition on deseased mucus mem
branes of the mouth and gums, L believe it to
be a specific in a large number of the ordinary
deseased conditions for which it is recommend
ed. I say this on theoretic grounds and am
satisfied that a practical test of this mouth
wash in my own practice has more than justi
fied my expectations. I therefore reccotumend
it for general use and would be glad to know
that every man and woman in the country
would try it for themselves, believing that it
will result in great good to those who use it as
directed.
Athens, Ga.—I have had occasion recently
to test the virtues of your Sure Cure Month
Wash in an aggravated case of inflamed
and ulcerated gums, with most gratifying re
sults. I find that I can accomplish more in a
short time with Sure Cure Mouth Wash than
any other one of the many similar prepara
tions I have ever used in my practice of many
years. I wish that every one, old and young,
would use your preparation according to the
printed directions, aud then, I think, the den
tist would be able to accomplish more good for
their patients, and do it with more satisfaction
