The boy king of Spain will soon be

be the last of the pretenders we
think.
Up to a late hour of going to
press the Spaniards had not bom-
barded Swampoodle from the canal
front. Let us be thankful we have
escaped thus far.
The volunteers who left here a

any fine morning now in Havana.
We are a powerful moving people

Texarkana Carriage Cd.
Rev. Culpepper preached an ex-
traordinary fine sermon this morn-
ing to a large congregation. He
will preach tonight. Go and hear
him.
During the interiuin of the em-
barkation of our trorps and their
landing on Cuban soil Blanco
could be well engaged in getting
his duds locked up to leave for
Spain.
Col. George Fouke received a let-
ter from his son Frank who is in
the army at Mobile. Frank writes
that he is encamped in a pine
thicket and that he has plenty of
beans to eat.
If Sampson should run upon the
Spanish fleet it will give Sagasta
another chance to form a cabinet
and thereby give all the big Span-
ish dons a chance to hold impor-
tant offices.
Congress should do something to
attract the public attention once
in a while. We have not seen
tomreeds name in the papeYs for a
long while. Has Tom’s czarship
expired by limitation.
The bulletins up to the hour of
going to press were disappointing
to many as the whole citizenship
here have been expecting a battle
for many days and are hourly ex-
pecting to haxe a great American
victory telegraphed here.
We are indeed sorry to learn that
our good friend Hon Will F. Kirbv
is again sick at his home on College
Hill. We think our young friend
should [change this damp climate
for one that is dry until he becomes
strong and robust again.
Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Shuptrine
have returned from Eureka Springs
where they have been drinking
from the fountain of pure life giv-
ing waters. We are glad to learn
that Mrs. Shuptrine received much
benefit from the water.
The Wild West show at the Park
did not draw a large crowd yester-
day afternoon and the performauce
will be repeated tonight. If you
want to see some fancy shooting
and trick riding go out. Take the
cars for the Park at 7:3(1.
Before a girl gets married she
says any man is a villian who will
deceive an innocent trusting girl
but after she has been married a
year says any girl is a fool that
will let a man run away with her
feelings.—Portland Telegram.
The Queen of Spain is a very
consistent (?) little lady she fears
the Spaniards and must have guard
about her at every move yet she
is willing that Cuban mothers and
their daughters be turned over to
the riff-rag soldiery of her army.
It is no wonder so many Texar-
kana boys got let out on heart
trouble when we come to look at
so many sweet faced girls here who
are awaiting a proposal to say yes
to the question uppermost in all
young men’s mouth —will you be
mine?
Rev. R. D. Wilson wife and
daughter Bertie are here from
Jonesboro Arkansas visiting Mrs.
C. W. Matthews. Mr. Wilson was
formerly a pastor of the Olive
Street Baptist church and has
many friends here who were glad
to have him back even on a visit.
In being a sucker and ever ready
to bite we are indebted to Sam
Solinsky for this conundrum: “Whv
is Havana so hard to take bv the
Americans? Because she has so
much to back her (tobacco)” and
this one from Jammie Lightfoot:
“Why is it that the price on laun-
dry work at Manilla has gone up?
Because it is so Dewey there that
the clothes won’t dry.”
We were out at the tent meeting
last night and became very much
interested in the talk given by Rev.
Culpepper. This gentleman is no
ranter no orator yet he draws one
to him from start to finish by his
well delivered discourse. We can
learn something by following him
closely and what you do learn will
not harm you. We are satisfied
that he will make our people better
by his’tarry amongst us and we
hope all will go to hear him and
profit by the good advice he gives.

Rev. Culpeper believing that a
negro has a soul to save the same
as a white man will reserve a sec-
tion of the great tent tor their use
and benefit. He invited them to be
prest tonight and occupy the seats
prepared for them. We can see no
objection to this arrangement but
there are oyer-sensitive people who
will perhaps object to having the
odor of the sawdust and the exuda-
tion ot the negro mixed in the
ozone of the tent. As to ourself
we can thrive on any kind of laden-
ed air having been a next door
neighbor to a soap factary at one
time in our young life with our
entire back fence covered with sev-
eral vorieties of gourd vines. We
hope the over-sensitive will fall into
line and help save the poor Afri-
can's soul who is at our very door
and then they can keep thier for-
eign mission money at home and
use it for pin money.
Company L Texarkana Rifles.
This from the Arkansaw Gazette
in regard to Captain W. H. Hay-
wood’s company:
Company L Texarkana Captain
W. H. Haywood known as the
Governor’s Guards with Robert - W.
Reynolds and H. E. Courtney as Ist
and 2d lieutenants respectively and
R. L. Burke first and Ben H. Haw-
kins second sergeants form a com-
bination backed with one of the
best companies of the First that it
will pay the wiley Dons to avoid
once they get straightened out in
Cuba. Captain Haywood and John
W. Jacks are two of the best drilled
men in the regiment. They claim
to have the best men also the best
looking man in the person of Ser-
geant Ben Hawkins in the famous
First.
Meeting With Success.
It looks now as if we will yet live
to see Broad street put in a pass-
able condition when the rain de-
scends upon it and have a good fine
street for all time to come. Yester-
day and today Mr. Ockander has
been canvassing the subject and
we learn is meeting with success.
Judge Leary subscribed S2OO as a
starter and he does not own a foot
of property on Broad street either
and there are others who are giv-
ing almost as liberally. We learn
that if each property holder will
give $25 for his part to each 25
front feet he owns with other con-
tributions now pledged the three
blocks on the West Side will be
speedily graded and graveled with a
hard roller finish guaranteed not to
wear.
When the West Side gets its
street graded the East Side will fall
into line and arrange to have East
Broad street treated in the same
manner.
We Must Do Something.
The action of the East Side Fire
company last night in throwing up
the sponge and telling the City
Council that they could no longer
serve in the capacity of former
will be followed by the West Side
firemen at their next meeting.
This means that only one man will
remain with the fire wagon and he
the driver and cannot be expected
to abandon his horses to unreel the
hose make the coupling and fight
the fire all by himself.
We must have firemen just the
same as policemen even if we have
to pay them something and the
City Council should employ at least
two men to be on duty day and
night. They can be hired for about
S4O each and this money could be
paid by private subscription with
the aid of a small appropriation
from the two councils.
We must not let this subject go
by default but look at it in a busi-
ness way. The volunteer firemen
have done good work in the past
and they got very little pay
not enough to wash their soil linen
and a man is a great chump who
would stay at an engine house day
and night for the privilege of fight-
ing fire soiling his clothes and tak-
ing chances on getting killed just
for the excitement such a life furn-
ishes.

class groceries next door to Sharpe & Brewer s

The following is an extract from
a speech delivered by Congressman
Clark of Missouri relative to a
country editor: “He is the pack-
horse of every community promoter
of every laudable enterprise the
worst underpaid laborer in the
vineyard. Counting his space as
his capital he gives more to charity
his means considered than any
other member of society. He is a
power in politics a pillar of the
church a leader in the crusade for
better morals. He is pre-eminent-
ly the friend of humanity. Line
upon line paragraph upon para-
graph day by day he is embalming
in cold type the facts from which
the Herodotus Tacitus and Macau-
lay of the future will write the his-
tory of our time. He fully chroni-
cles our advent into the world
briefly notes our uprisings and
downsittings and sorrowfully
records our exit.
Reality discounts expectancy.
War furnishes no holiday for sol-
diers. It is not a May picnic filled
with flowers and delicacies. A vet-
eran will tell the young volunteer
that when he leaves home he need
not expect a downy bed carpets
knives and forks. War has no sen-
timent and is devoid of physical
comforts. It means fatigue long
marches a scant larder often hun-
ger and thirst exposure to the ele-
ments no shelter a blanket sleep-
less nights long tramps in the hot
sun life’s discomforts and depriva-
tions. It is duty—stern unrelent-
ing constant. It is a relinquish-
ment of personal independence. Its
sacrifices are a philosophical deter-
mination to make the most of what-
ever may happen. This is the only
way in whioh the volunteer may
extract comfort out of a life that
revolutionizes all his home habits
and surroundings.
Spanish Bonds Still Going Down.
Spanish 4 per cent bonds yester-
day sold as low as 30 on the London
stock exchange. Upon the Paris
bourse the figures reached were
29J. These are the lowest quota-
tions on record. New United States
4s sold yesterday at 121 or within 8
points of the highest quotation ot
the year.
In an address the other day Lord
Salisbury spoke of dying and living'
nations. Judging of their vitality
by their credit Spain furnishes as I
good an illustration of the one and
the United States as good an ex-
ample of the other as is to be
found upon the earth today.
When Nature
Needs assistance it may be best to ;
render it promptly but one should
remember to use even the most
perfect remedies only when needed.
The best and most simple and gen-
tle remedy is the Syrup of Figs
manufactured by the California
Fig Syruo Co.
