Mr. Prentice, one of Edgas’ friends, say
if Gay’s backers will put up two thousand
dollars, he will erect a tent and make a
tiack here, and they will yet have the
walking match.
We understand that Mr. Shuell has ap-
plied to headquarters for leave of absence
for a few days, and if his request is grant-
ed he will consent for the Gay-Edgas
match fo come oft in Dallas.
A vote was taken in precinct No. 4 last
Thursday on local option. It was voted
down by a big majority. Yery little inter-
est was manifested in the matter, and
nothing like a full vote polled. This pre-
cinct includes Birdvilie, Smithfield and
Double Springs.
We found on visiting our Business Col-
lege that the students are perfectly famil-
iar with the methods of calculation as
taught by Prof. Moulten of the Bryant &
Stratton’s Commercial Colleges." The
Orcon & Sadlers’ Business Calculator is
for sale by Prof. Preuitt. Call at college
over Max Elser’s.
With this issue we commenco the pub-
lication of a romance which we hope will
turn out to be very thrilling. There is no
reason why it should not. We are certaii
that the author is a very talented gentle
man, and the only difficulty weappreherd
is that of convincing the public of this
fact.
Provided Evans Hall can be procured
for that purpose on Wednesday night,
Miss Winifred C. Stevens, ;the talented
young humorous and dramatic reader,
will favor our citizens with one of her en-
tertainments. On next Friday night, if
nothing occurs to prevent it, Miss Ella
Rives Taylor will favor us with a concert.
Both ladies will give their entertainments
under the auspices of the El Paso Literary
and Musical Society. We will give further
particulars In Tuesday’s issue.
A day or two since Dr. Brooks was
called upon to go out into the country to
see Mrs. Childress, a Ihdy living nine
miles west of Fort Worth, who was af-
flicted with what is commonly known
as “milk leg.” accompanied by Dr. Fitz-
“Ugh, who has had a large experience in
matters of this kind in Eastern Virginia.

It is evident from the above extract that
the “milk leg” was accompanied by Dr.
Fifzhugh, for so it plainly reads. Now it
only troubles us to know which party is
meant to have had the “large experience.'

leg.”

A Democrat reporter was kindly shown
through the store of Mr. C. H. Felton
yesterday, and he now emphatically says
ihat the stock of goods carried by this
gentleman actually astonished him. Jt
will astonish anyone who has not visited
this establishment lately. In addition to
his former line ot goods, Mr. Felten has
just opened one of the finest stoc s of
clothing ever brought to this city. These
goods are all of late style, of the very
best material, and are offered at astonish-
ingly low figures. You can get a light or
a dark spring suit, a whole suit, or a part
of a suit, a coat, a vest or a pair of pants,
just as you choose.
In gents underwear, Mr. Felton has the
best assortment ever brought to this mar-
ket. In undershirts, he carries the gossa-
mer, the white, old gold and various shades
and designs. In drawers, he has the new
style of plain and fancy linen, with all the
styles of silk, knit, etc.
It is useless to say anything of the hats
carried by this house, as he has always
excelled all in this particular line.
In cravats and ties, the summit is
reached by this house, for there is no
style, size, color, shape nor price, known
or desired, which Mr. Felton cannot fur-
nish you.
In handkerchiefs, no house in the city
carries anything like tho assortment and
quality of goods in this line carried by
Felton.
Iu fine, it you desire anything in the
line of gents clothing or furnishing goods
call on C. H. Felton. See his card else-
where.
CHURCH CHIMES.
Teachers' Institute.
A representative of the Democrat at-
tended the regular monthly covention ot
the teachers ot the free schools of the
city, which was held at the college build-
ing yesterday after noon. On this occas-
ion the teachers of the different wards
had with them several of their respective
pupils, and illustrated their different
methods of imparting instruction.
Ihe exercises commenced by a reading
recitation from a class in Miss Annie
Speer’s third ward school.;
1 hen Mr. Denton, of the second ward
school, exercised his class in the third
leader, and this was followed by an arith-
metic lesson from a class in Mr. Cooper’s
school in the first ward. Mrs. Walden, ot
the second ward school, then examined
her class in Geography. Mr. Crutchfield,
ot the first ward, then rigidly examined
li.s class in arithmetic, and was followed
by Miss Hall with an arithmetic class
from the second warct^ after which a com-
petitive examination in mental arithmetic
ot the pupils of the different wards was
had to determine who was entitled to the
premium oflered by Mayor Brown. Alter
a protracted and rigid examination, dur-
ing which those little bright-eyed boys
and girls answered with surprising
promptness the most intricate and per-
plexing questions that could be invented
by the teachers, the premium was award-
ep to Master James Phillips, ot Miss
Hall’s class in the second ward. Miss
Huffman, also, awarded a premium to
Master George Foster, ot the third ward
school.
Our educational interests aie certainly
promoted when teachers make a custom
ot meeting, exchanging ideas, and illus-
trating their different methods of impart-
ing instruction. And the children, too,

Miss Winifred C. Stevens, the talented
young elocutionist, was in the city yester-
day.
Rev. W. W. Patrick left yesterday for
Weatherford, where he will spend a few
days.
A letter was received here yesterday
from Hot Springs, stating that Mrs. C. L.
Pigman was very dangerously ill.
I rof. R, F. Moore, of Double Springs,
called on us yesterday and reports his
school in a flourishing condition.
Col. A. J. Walker paid us a visit yester-
day. We regret to see him in such bad
health, and hope to see him restored to
his wonted vigor.
The family of Mr. It, F. Walton, we are
sorry to know, is still afflicted with sick-
ness. Last night his little child was
thought to be very dangerously ill, and
not expected to live^through the night.

shall anxiously await developments.

Regretfully yours,
J. M. Prentice.
Mr. Gay’s backer will not consent to go
to Dallas, because he is a working man,
engaged in business at the railroad shops,'
and cannot spare the time to be present it
the match is elsewhere than at Fort
Worth. “No hall can be obtained,” Mr.
Prentice says himself. Then who is to
blame? Surely not Mr. Gay—surely not
Mr. Gay’s backer! We know Mr. Gay is
anxious to walx Mr. Edgas anywhere, but
not being so fortunate as Mr. Edgas in the
matter of backers, Charley has to grin
and bear it.
