We hear many of our best citizens
kicking because the hogs horses
etc are still allowed to roam at
will upon our streets. Let us have
a pound master as soon as possible
who will take stock off the streets.
The residence of Mrs. J. H. Ar-
nold corner Elm and Clinton
streets has been so remodeled and
Improved as to almost lose its iden-
tity—is now one of the cosiest and
best arranged homes to be found in
the c'ty.
The Iron Mountiau railroad has
been enjoined Irom closing the
present crossing leading to College
Hill and there will be a lively tilt in
court over the matter as the coun-
cil gave the permissslon to close it
If they would open a new one.
Yesterday we saw an ugly old
hog bite open a sack of corn and
waste and eat up nearly a half bush
el ot it. Corn was being brought
from the railroad into a store but
clerks could not watch it all the
time. Let us get rid of the hog
nuisance.
Prof. C. A. Lynch ceased teach-
ing his school in the old Federal
building several weeks since and
we learn will soon leave our city.
He is a thorough gentleman and
good teacher and we regret his mis-
fortunes here. Trust his lines may
fall in more pleasant places.
Jack Kundsen the musical plum-
ber has returned to the city and
engaged to work for the Hoffman
Hardware Company in the plumb-
ing department. He will take his
place in the band again and will add
much to the volume of sound of
sweet strains when out blowing for
an entertainment.
Prof. J. F. Draughon left 'several
days since for Nashville Tenn. to
look after his big’ business college
there. About twenty new pupils
entered the Texarkana Business
College during his stay here with
it. He is certainly a hustler right.
We are pleased to learn that sever-
al new pupils have entered it in the
past few days.
From Mr. R. L. Trigg we learn
that there was a big chooting af-
fair at Canfield Ark. Saturday
night. It seems that some white
men living thereabouts wished to
run the negroes working at the
Canfield Lumber Co. mill away and
that night shot into a crowd of
them wounding about nearly a doz-
en. It is said there was at once an
exodus of negroes. Such an oc-
currence is an outrage in a civiliz-
ed country and we hope the perpe-
trators will be caught and severely
punished. Since the above was put
in type we learn of a similar occur-
at Frostville Sunday night; officers
are after the criminals.
FT. LYNN FLASHES.
Ye scribe was wrestling with
LaGrippe last week—Moral: No
letter.
This place has been illuminated
by numerous flashes the past week
but owing to my time being limited
to a few minutes in which to spread
them on the records I will but
briefly mention a few of them.
Lynn is now “in the swim;” the
saw mill started up on steady time
last Thursday.
Mrs. J. H. Earhart and Mrs. Ken-
non who are now residing at Dod-
dridge temporarily spent Sunday
with Mrs. A. J. Ramsey. The ladies
made the writer a pleasant call
while here.
Mr. J. H. Earhart the road mas-
ter of the T. &S. railroad is here
superintending the laying of the
log switch track.
Mr. W. H. Coffey one of the trio
ot bachelors who forsook the hall
and went out into the cold cold
world near a year ago returned
last week accompanied by a life
companion whom we heartily wel-
come to a place in our midst. The
lady will make a pleasant addition
to society here. I trust that the
newly wedded pair as they go hand
in hand through life that their
path may lead them into none but
pleasant places. Henry has taken
his old place as engineer at the saw
mill.
Ed Barker went to the Twin City
today to interview Santa Claus
and perhaps purchase some of his
nice things.
Messrs. George Elam and Fred
McClure will drive to the Sandy
City tomorrow to look over Chris
Kringle's stock of pretty things and
bring back a load of the nicest.
All the good people of Lynn are
making great preparations for good-
will offerings on Christmas day.
Rev. J. B. Morrison preached an
I excellent sermon Sunday at 11
. o’clock to an attentive audience.
Sunday school had a large attend-
ance and an interesting session at
tl.e close of which Rev. Dickert
' preached a comprehensive discourse
’ on “Repentance and Obedience”
which was well received.
’ Mr. William 1). Dodd of Bright
: Star made us a pleasant call last
Saturday. While in conversation
with the gentleman he informed me
that “Home Spun" who has been
taking a vacation will make his ap-
pearance on board the good ship
Texarkanian the first week of the
year 1897 and make the weekly
trips thereafter. All right Billy
you shall be made welcome. Yours
i in haste Onck-a-Wkkk.

Gladness Comes
With a better understanding of the
transient nature of the many phys-
ical ills which vanish before proper ef-
forts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts—-
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease but simply to a constipated condi-
tion of the system which the pleasant
family laxative Syrup of Figs prompt-
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families andis
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
Ml important in order to get its bene-
ficial effects to note when you pur-
chase that you have the genuine arti-
cle which is manufactured by the Cali-
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If iu the enjoyment of good health
and the system is regular laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians but if in need of a laxative
one should have the best and with tlie
well-informed everywhere Syrup of
Figs stands highest -nd is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

A NEGRO SHOT.
A tall black negro came to the
city this morning and going to Dr.
Lightfoot’s office for surgical treat-
ment told him he was shot. An
examination showed he had receiv-
ed a wound in the fleshy part of the
thigh. Soon after he arrived Mar-
shal Chenshaw and contable Paup
got on to his being here and wait-
ing on him asked him who did the
shooting. He was retricent and
said he would not tell as he did not
want to attend court and be har-
rassed by officers. They kept cross-
questioning him however and he
finally said he was shot by the sec-
tion boss at Mandeville a few miles
from this city. He finally agreed to
go before Justice Smither and
made a formal complaint. The ne-
gro said his name was John Henry
Taylor and that Bill Brice a white
man who is foreman of an extra
gang shot him. Justice Smither is-
sued a warrant and Constable Wil-
bur Paup went out to serve it.
ABANDONED TEAM.
Some oue came here Saturday
last and hitched a pair of mules to
a fence near the Pratt House milk
pen and there they stood until
yesterday evening without water
or food.
The police were notifled and took
the mules to Captain Blythe’s sta-
ble where they will be looked after
until a claimant puts In an appear-
ance. It is thought some one stole
them and getting frightened
hitched them and never came back
after them.
The mule a are five years old one
a black horse mule the other a
mouse colored one. The owner can
get them by paying expenses of
taking care of them and for this
notice. ’ 4t.
