WE ARE NOTIFIED TO LEAVE!
Our many friends will be surprised to learn that we are virtually compelled to

having been notified by Messrs. Weinstein and Kosminsky to vacate the building by May i
1893. This is very unfortunate for us at the opening of what promises to be a very prosper-
ous season but fortunate for those who may need anything in
Dry Goods Clothing Shoes Gents' Furnishings and Carpets
for we are determined to unload the ENTIRE STOCK regardless of value including
our Spring Purchase.
We Commence the Sale Monday Feb. 27th.
and will continue as long as the present stock lasts. We shall order no more goods until we
determine our location after May i. We have increased our force of help to wait on the
trade during the rush and shall increase it still more later on if necessary.
We are very heavily stocked in some brands of Bleached and Unbleached Muslins hav-
ing bought in large quantities before the recent advances. The will be sold by the piece
only as we shall make great sacrifices to unload
This is a Rare Opportunity for Merchants and Mill Men
who have not yet bought their spring stocks. They can buy now and save from isto 25
per cent on the prices of similar goods in New York or St. Louis.
As this forced sale means a loss to us of several thousand dollars we shall be compelled
to sell for CASH ONLY and will kindly ask our friends to remember this and save us
the embarrassment of having to refuse credit.

A Delightful Affair.
Owing to a lack of space on yester-
day we were unable to give an ade-
quate account of the elegant ball aud
reception given at the Harmony club |
rooms on Tuesday evening of this I
week in honor of Miss Flora Benja-
min an accomplished and charming
young lady of St Louis. The affair
was. in every way an enjoyable and
elegant one reflecting credit upon the
gallant hosts of the Harmony social
club. Miss Benjamin has proven
an admirable acquisition to the
social circles of the city
during her stay iu our midst.
Her early departure will be a subject
of general regret to her many admir-
ing friends- The dance given in Miss
Benjamin’s honor was attended bj
the flower of Hebrew social circles of
Texarkana who were delighted to do
honor to their fair guest.
Fatally Injured.
The engine on the log road running
out from Fulton Ark. exploded yes-
terday a few miles from that city
blowing out the cylinder bead which
was hurled several hundred teet into
the air coining to the ground with
such force as to bury it several inches
in the earth. The engine in charge
of G. U. Lewis was almost totally de-
molished while tho engineer is thought
to be seriously if not fatally injured.
His eyes are both closed and one arm
broken while his whole body is one
mass of bruised and scalded flesh. A
physician was summoned from Hope
to dress the injured man’s wounds
while a machinest was called from
Texarkana to repair tho engine.
The Play.
One of the largest and most fash-
ionable audiences of the season greet-
ed Lillian Lewis atGhio’s opera house
on the occasion of her first appear-
ance in this city in her new and pop-
ular emotional drama “Lady Lil.”
The acting of Miss Lewis was above
criticism but with one or two excep-
tions her support cannot be classed
above the average. Indeed for so
talented an actress as Miss Lewis is
conceded to be her company is far be-
low the standard. The play possesses
many meritorious features and Is well
adapted to Miss Lewis’ style of act-
ing. The characters of the play are
drawn true to life and despite an ele-
ment of realism are both interesting
and exciting. The audience testified
its appreciation of Miss Lewis’ unaf-
fected efforts to please by frequent
outbursts of applause. Upon the
whole the play while not up to the
high standard fixed in tho public
mind was well received and liberally
applauded.

WASHINGTON LETTER. 1
From our regular Correspondent
Washington. March 13 1893-
President Cleveland has not com-
mitted himself on the Hawaiian ques-
tion. This statement is made upon
high and unquestionable authority.
Ihe Harrison annexation treaty was
withdrawn from the Senate becau-e it
was objectionable for several reasons.
It was carelessly drawn and some oi
its most important features were en-1
tirely too indefinite to be satisfactory
even if Mr. Cleveland bad fully made I
up his mind which he hasn’t in favor
of annexation. What Mr. Cleveland
desires is information and that he is
now diligently seeking through Sec-
retary Gresham and General Scho-
field and Admiral Brown both of
whom arc familiar from personal ob-
servation with Hawaii and its popula-
tion. li is probable that a Presiden-
tial message on this subject will bo
sent to the Senate before that body
adjourns aud it is also probable that
it will be accompanied by a new
treaty may be ot annexation and may
be far the establishment of a protec-
torate. But whatever is done the
sugar planters of Hawaii will not be
allawed to cash in their expectations.
While the determination of Presi-
dent Cleveland not to re-appoint those
who held office under his first ad-
ministration has been disappointed to
individuals some of whom had by
hard work in the campaign earned
the right to expect otllce there is no
doubt about the popularity of the
move with the rank and tile of the
party the men who have campaign
after campaign fought for 11 losing
cause many of whom are now for
the first time applicants for office.
They feel .that it gives them a better
chance at the loaves and fishes and
that it is but carrying out the old old
Democratic idea of opposition to the
establishment of a permanent office-
holdiug class. It shows too that the
lesson of the decay of the once power-
ful Republican party has not been lost
upon Mr. Cleveland.
Secretary Carlisle finds the financial
outlook much more cheerful and en-
couraging although not yet satisfac-
tory than when he first took charge
of tho National finances. There has
been a let up in the demand for gold
and he hopes to escape having to
choose between using 11 part of the
$100000000 gold reserve fund or an
issue of bonds. At present the free
gold is accumulating quite rapidly
in the Treasury.
Just how long the extra session of
the Senate will continue is uncertain
but it is the expectation of the Sen-
ators with whom I have talked tiiat it
will remain in session until about tho
first ot May.
SENATE CHAIRMANSHIPS.
The caucus committee charged with
the duty of reporting to tho Demo-
cratic caucus tlie membership of the
re-organized Senate committees has

result of their deliberations sent in

Manufacturing Enterprises.
In view of tho fact that the estab-
lishment of a cotton factory nt tills
point has lung been considered II will
be of general interest to our people
ami the public generally to learn that
a very large per cent of these enter-
prises in the Southern States have
proven highly successful aud that in
places much loss favorable for loca-
tion than Texarkana enterprises of
this character have grown and pros-
pered.
The following statistics 011 the sub-
ject will no doubt prove of interest
to our people and the general public
on this important question;
“When tlie manufacture of cotton
fabrics was first established in Now

the United States and predicted
failure because of unfavorable climate
economic and industrial conditions.
In spite of these fancied obstacles the
cotton manufacturing industry of the
United States is rapidly advancing to
tlie point of equality with the British
manufacturers having already reach-
ed the two-thirds mark. When cot-
ton manufacture was first begun in
the South New England mauufactur-
eis assumed practically the same po-
sition taken formerly by their British
competitors. How rapidly the indus-
try is advancing in tlie South in spite
of unfavorable predictions is shown
by an analysis of the census statistics.
In 1880 the South contained only
667754 spindles out of the total of
10653435 in this country—little more
than 6 per cent—while the spindles in
tlie South In 1890 numbered 1712980
out of a total of 14088103 or more
than 12 per cent. In tlie ten years the
capital in tlie Southern cotton manu-
facturing industry increased from
$21976713 to $61124096; the hands
employed from 20827 tu 41581: the
wages paid from $8517116 to $8961-
51 I aud the value of the products
from $21038 712 to $16971503. The
number of looms increased from 14-
323 to 39231. Tlie South produces
20 per cent of nil the sheetings made
in tlie United States 86 per cent of
tlie ginghams and 4 1 per cent of the
yarn.

Hewm the Magician.
In describing 1111 entertainment giv-
en by this wonderful master of the
magic art at the opera house In Dill-
las the Dallas News has this to say:
“It would bo long tedious and use-
less to particularize Hie dlvertlsemeut
of sleight-of-hand feats which consti-
tuted the first part of tho entertain-
ment. They were interesting mid
puzzling and exemplified the wonder-
ful proficiency that may be attained
only by years of assiduous study and
practice In the magic. Worthy of
commendation among tho several in-
comprehensible illusions was the “de-
capitation scene.” In this startling
deception 11 lady is seated in full view
of the audience. Iler head is appar-
ently cut off placed upon a pedestal
aud made to speak: At the touch of
the magician’s wand it returns to tho
body and the whole figure Is then
transformed like a flash into white
pigeons. Tlie illusion wa* truly
weird and mystifying. Chief prob-
ably among the many astonish-
ishing situations was Mme. Claire in
her mysterious spiritualistic seance.
In addition to the above Prof. Ilcwes
essayed many other baffling yet fasci-
nating tricks that challenged admira-
tion.”
Shooting Affray.
Nows reached tills city of a serious
and probably filial shooting affray
which occurred at Saratoga a small
town only a few miles distant from
Fulton Ark. Tho participants are
both prominent young men of that
place and had previous to the difficul-
ty been warm friends. The trouble
arose nt a dance over tho claim of both
men to the right of dancing with a
certain young lady with whom both
are said to have been infatuated. The
misunderstanding led to angry words
which resulted in both men drawing
their pistols and opening lire with the
result that one man is supposed to be
in a dying condition and the other
under arrest charged with his murder.
The names of the combatant* could
not ns yet be ascertained.
