THE SUNNY SOUTH, ATLANTA, GA. SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 24, 1»»7. ™ , I « 5o(i?ty 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. *** After a flying visit over the Peninsula State, a representative of the l’alatka Herald assigns the following leading characteristics to the young ladies at tbe localities named: DeLand, the richest < Iriaudo, the wildest. Eustis, the best formed. Tavares, the most tint d. Marianna, the most refined. Seville, the most lady. like. Jacksonville, the proudest. Pensacola, the gayest fliris. Tallahassee, tbe handsomest. Sanford, the most intelligent Fernandina, the best dancers. Monticello, tbs most truthful. Gainesville, tbe most reckless. 7 a npa, the lovers of ice cream. Lake City, the most indifferent. Apalachicola the prettiest eyes. Brooksville, the finest complexion. St. Augustine, the bsst musicians. Quincy, the most amiable disposition. Palatka, the most anxious to be loved. Leesburg, the most liberal entertainers Kissimmee, the gayest and most expensive in dress. Ocala, the most graceful and entertaining in conversation. **• Madame Demorest—Her Home. Mme. Demorest. the well known modiste and publisher of New York, keeps np a handsome country place near Saratoga. Ths house and grounds comprise the old Cnrtig homestead where Mme. Demorest was born. She is a daughter of Zebulon Curtis, and comes of a family famous for its longevity. Mme. Dem orest was a millit er in her girlhood, and located at Schuyierville, N. Y. Later in life she cane to New York, where she has risen to the very front rank in her profession. At Milwaukee, Wis , on the 8th inst, Baron Paul Von 11 luuigartten, secretary of the Aus tro Hungarian legation at Washington, was married to Miss Emma 1 Duster, daughter of Hon. P. V. Deus.er. Many prominent guests from abroad were si the ceremony. The hap py couple left for Washington this evening. Chautauqua. A Graphic and Highly Interesting Pen Sketch of This World Be- nowned Beligious Besort. The Literary and Scientific “Alma Mater’ enjoy a mountainous oonfi duration of verdnre and surface, together with the omnipresent contiguity of the see 'iich gives it a diversi fied “panorama-1 ik. tab!; ■ of landscape appearance. Feo .* *t mtauqua always live high—1,400 f<. ive the sea; the place is pure atmospheric * aquatically, morally and intellectually; they live in a highly ratified and quickening medium. The whole effect is elevating and sonl-inspiring, with its sacred 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 rian winged human-beaded lion, of Nimroud; and the winged bull, of Ninevah, in cast. The Moabite stone, 81)0 B. C., discovered in the 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 mon, found near Smyrna. The famous ltosetta stone which has played so distin guished a part in all modern bieroglyphical re searches, with its Greek, bieroglyphical and enchorial inscriptions, like a key are an “open sesame”_to unlock the mysteries of the hiero glyphics. Plans of buildings excavated at Kanzuuyic; tbe famous Chaldean deluge tablet with the story of the fall of man and of the deluge, in strange dialects that are much older than the Exodus. Sircopbigi, ivory, vases, l’henician lamps, iridescent drinking cups and bowls, found in the tombs in ancient Perga- mos, Hiudoustanee books, vellum manuscript, whose ancient letters were written in ink, oth ers in strange cryptography that recall the days of astrology and alchemy, and sombre myster ies of K rsicrucianism, aud fac-simile inscrip tions of cuneiform characters from Assyrian monuments; Codex Alexandrianus New Testa ment: Kgyp ian hieratic papyrus of the reign of Humeses if.: bronze ornaments of the palace gates of Bal&wat; antique clothing oi var:- colors, of Moslem and Bedouin sheikhs and ^ Arab women in a'l their oriental and Saracenic s vies; mineralogical and paleontological cabi nets which are redundantly filled with mineral from every clime, and form a basis for scien tific research. Mumismatic treasures grace it; Herbariums with all tbe Ligneous Flora and plants of the Bible; picture tapestried walls, with the chef d'eauver oi the o'd masters, while the chiming bells woo the soul away to ecstatic enjoyment. 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 of Japanese day fire-works, grand Organ Re cital, Concerts, and the graud conception of the stereoptican foreign travel, that “Ideal Summer Trip Beyond the Sea,” minus the ir.cidenlal expenses or mat tie mr,” by ‘ Con 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. Texarkana, Arkansas. 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. < I Dwyer & Ahern came hero several years Bailway Boon—Suburban Annexes— Business Notes—Its Newspa- pers-Newsy Notes. 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 THE CHILL MASTER. 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. If your druggist does not have it on hand, tell him to order it for you from the under signed. Mrs. J. D. Boxlev. Occoquan, Va. since, and by energy and a thorough knowl- of this city, is its ill-kept, desolate-looking edge of business and its technics, have attained cemeteries Tbe wealth of rank weeds and “Sing psalms over the past! We bury tbe dead years tenderly, To find them again iu eternity, All safe in its circle vast.” A. Belle Bradford. 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 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.

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 self upon the waves of connubial existence, 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*.
