The Nashville papers are fighting
a war of circulation in that city.
The spoils will fall to the publisher
who can tell the biggest lie and
then swear to it.
Chairman Tanbeneck of the
Populist party says that if the
Cicago convention declares for 16
to 1 the Populists will unite with
the Democratic party and carry
the South and West. Both are the
right things to do. —Ex.
Chief Justice Snodgrass of Ten
nessee who shot a shyster lawyer a
short time ago for writing a news-
paper article which did not suit the
Judge has been tried and acquitted
the charge being one of attempted
manslaughter with intent to mur-
der. The Chief Justice swore he
had his pistol with him and meeting
his shyster friend accidentally he
just took a couple of shots at him
to ffnd out if his pistol was loaded
or empty.
No man can tell where the
Democratic party will stand two
months from now. One element is
dragging it on to the breakers of
Republicanism while the other is
steering it to the verge of Populism
—either of which is destructive of
individual liberty and fosters a
paternalism that is repugnant to
patriotic instincts. When the worst
has come then we may get back to
the first principals of the party
which made the United States free
and broad and great. God speed
the time.—Ex.
FEDERAL COURT.
Judge Williams Clears Up the Docket
and Adjourns Court to Court
in Course.
The Federal court at this place
lasted only one week yet it cost
the United States Government
many dollars to hold it and the
showing from a pessimistic stand-
point whould make a retrencher
howl himself hoarse at the seeming
squandering of public money.
The civil docket contained two
cases only: one of them was a chan-
cery case and thrown out of court
for want of jurisdiction—the other
one was settled amicably by all par-
ties concerned.
The criminal docket was a seem-
ingly heavy one but when the
Judge heard testimony in cases
where he did net think punishment
should be meted out or the testi-
mony weak he would discharge
the prisoners; noticeably were the
cases against thirty-five prisoners
whose names we do not give
but who were indicted for violating
internal revenue laws and when
the Judge heard the witnesses he
would say “discharged."
The names of those who got sen-
tences are as follows:
D. L. Hicks Sevier county sell-
ing whisky without license sen
fenced to six months in the peni
tentiary.
William Alford from Nevada
county for illicit distilling six
months in the penitentiary.
Bob Counts plea of guily to
altering and changing U. S. money
to denominations other than issue
one year in the penitentary. This is
the man who raised $1 bills to $5
and passed them here.
William Presley of Columbia
county for illicit distilling jury
trial one year in the penitentiary.
Ben Hoffman Howard county
i jury trial illicit distilling one year
in the penitentiary.
Ben Henry and his brothers Ed
John and Bob Henry Howard
county plea of guilty to illicit dis
tilling and each fined SIOO and
thirty days in jail.
Joe Lee U -fries Nichols Henry
Fagan .lira Bradford and William
Russell p a l guilty‘to illicit dis-
(tilhn-y; judgment suspended.
( . D. Smith John Kite John
Meredith and Ross Ramsey for re-
ceiving illicit whiskv guilty and
sentence suspended.
Jake Scog in and John Chandler
i charged with retailing without
license trial by jury found not
guilty.
There wete 160 witnesses who
proved their attendance here be
sides two panels of petit jurors
and one of -gand which with the
court officers one can see at a
glance make this court a costly
luxury yet we must have it or
crime would run riot with us And
it brings money to Texarkana.
WHEN NATURE
Needs assistance it may be best to
render it promptly but one should
remember even the most perfect
remedies only when needed. The
best and most simple and gentle
remedy is the Syrup ol Figs manu-
factured by the California Fig
Syrup Company.

We all know that any tired mus-
cle can be restored by rest. Your
stomach is a muscle. Dyspepsia is
its manner of saying “I am tired
give me a rest.” To rest the stom-
ach you must do its work outside
the body.
This is the Shaker’s method of
curing indigestion and its success
is best attested by the fact that
these people are practically free
from what is without doubt the
most prevalent of all diseases. The
Shaker Digestive Cordial not only
contains digested food' which is
promptly absorbed without taxing
the tired digestive organs but it is
likewise an aid to the digestion of
other foods in the stomach. A 10-
cent trial bottle will convince you
of its merit and these you can ob-
tain through all druggists.
LAXOL is the best medicine for
children. Doctors recommend it in
place of Castor Oil.
VACATION TIME.
The Pupils of the West Side Public
School Lay Aside their Books for
a’Spell.
The pupils of the West side
public school was given a fina*
showing last night at the Assembly
hall to a house where standing
roein could not be secured so
eager were our people to be enter-
tained by school declamations and
drills.
Prof. Owens was at the door a
fee of ten cents being charged at
the door for admission. When the
Texarkana reporter profered his
dime it was promptly refused and
he found a place to sit on a back
bench directly behind some thirty
rows of bench which secured to be
occupied by women only who had
given their skv pieces additional
hight by adding many gay colored
flowers to its decorations. We after-
ward secured a chair and moved up
the ailse where we could get a
better view of what transpired on
the stage.
There were no printed program-
mes to guide the reporter and he
had to catch-as-catch-can as the
different members were called. Here
is as near what transpired as we
can give:

and Blanche Williamson

Plano Solo Miss Ruby Bhaw
Recitation Miss Valerie Reeves
High School Class.
Pantomlm "The Raven”
In the “Little Red Riding Hood"
drill there were some eight little
maidens hooded and caped in red
with baskets tilled with cake and
other good edibles. After a few
evolutions in drilling under the
direction of Miss Fannie Roberts
there were eight horrid old wolves
appeared on the scene and just as
they were about to devour the
maidens eight grandmothers ap-
peared and tore the mask from off
their heads aad laying back thi
hides uncovered eight knights who
made love to the maidens and al
were happily wedded.
The Indian Hunters drill was a
pantomine recitation to the ups
and downs of a hunter. This re'
quired a dozen young ladies and
they were dressed so neat to re-
present the Indian character that
we felt for our scalp lock several
times to see it it was still sewed on
I our head.
I The Vestal ‘Virgin drill was an-
other pantomime and several of the
larger young ladies engineered they
characters through. They kept
their lights burning so brightly
that the snuffers were not used a
single time.
The high school class in panto-
mine to the recital of Professor
Faulkner’s —“The Raven” was the
best of the Delsarten series of
drills and poses‘made so however by
the graceful costume and drapies
and blending of gold hands with
black and bare arms and shoulders.
The recitation was fairly rendered.
We wish to say to all the pupils
that they did well and no fault can
■ be found with the exhibition they
| so creditably gave.
We are glad to see them have a
vacation and hope it will rest them
up for renewed efforts at the next
session.
Do not despair because you have
tried many medicines and have fail-

that Hood’s Sarsaparilla cures when
