The Culpepper meetings are
growing popular every day. Go

The “cake walk” has at last turn-
ed up in Washington seciety and
congressmen and senators alike
elbow each other in the meshes of
the walk just like other foolish peo-
ple.
Those “sour krauters” and “frog
eaters” in Santiago who are
“rooting” for Spain may yet be
made to eat dirt by our soldiers
when they get possession of the Is-
land. _
They are raising more wheat in

There are a lot of editors running
boiler plate papers that are eligible
to go on the "strategy board.”
They should apply by filing their
editorials with John D. Ixmg.
Rev. J. W. Johnson of Atlanta
Texas was called here last night to
officiate at a wedding this morning
wherein Mr. Frank J. Bumb and
Miss May Prater were joined in the
holy bonds of matrimony.
Hon. J. M. Carter is not sleeping
in regard to his company but is
enrolling new members daily and
he tells us he will leave here with
one of the finest equpped compa-
nies ever formed in the state when
the time comes for them to depart.
Four boys were arrested yester-
day by Policeman Culley for bath-
ing in forbidden waters on College
Hill. They were -jugged in the
cooler for a couple of hours and on
promise to stay away from the
pool they were released.
If we don't hurry up our forces
and take Cuba the Cubans who are
huddled together in the small towns
and cities and who are dying by
the cart load every day will all be
dead and our nation will be held
responsible for starving them to
death.
Blossoms bursting on the prairies
—bees making honey green leaves
swayed by the zephyrs birds sweet-
ly singing warm sun shining on the
corn fields farmers plowing old
hens scratching in the back yard
chickens picking and thus is life in
and around great and grand old
Texarkana.
On the inside of this paper will be
found a city ordinance which is a
“pea warmer” and lays the law
down to the property owners in
great shape in regard to sidewalks.
If you have property you must pro-
tect it by placing a passable side-
walk down in front of it or you will
rue the day you was ever born.
Mr. Will Boland and Mrs. Daisy
Kimple will wed tonight at the Gar-
rett house at 419 Elm street
by Judge Smither. The judge
claims the right to bring a
supporting man along to see that
he does not eat too much cake or do
anything foolish after the marriage
ceremony and he has selected the
reporter as his best friend and we
will be present and do our own and
the judge’s eating and drinking at
the table.
The Wild West show at the park
is not drawing the crowds that an
entertainment of that kind gener-
ally does. We have not been out to
see any of the performances and
therefore cannot comment. We
learn the “Wild West” consists of
two clever horseback riders a wo-
man a couple of bucking bronchos
and a Winchester rifle. The men
are capital lariat tossers and can
hit a marble in the air withQa Win-
Winchester ball.
A drunken negro went into a
Broad street store this morning and
used language unbecoming a nig-
ger to a white man and he was told
to get out but refused and offered
resistance. The merchant ent the
cable between himself and his dig-
nity and went for the negro in
great shape pushing him out on
the side walk exploding a number
seven contact bomb under the rear
sails of the coon. The negro pulled
out for some friendly harbor.
Santiago harbor where the Cer-
vera fleet is supposed to be an-
chored is an ideal place to have
the Spanish fleet. They are there
now and any two war ships can
stand off a few hundred yards at
the entrance ot the harbor to the
right and left and sink every ship
in the fleet if they attempt to
leave as there is high rocks on
either side of the channel and it is
impossible for the Spanish fleet to
see one of our vessels until they
come out in the open sea and by
the time they do show their ships a
torpedo tube can be shot into the
ship and move away for the battle-
ship to give it a broadsider. There
is not a place in Christiandom that
the Spanish fleet could have an-
chored that would have placed
them to a worst advantage than
where it is now

We think yet the- firemen should
be paid whether by the city or
private contributions we care not.
If our merchants can have their
"legs pulled" for base ball and all
other useless amusements period-
ically they should stand a pull for
a small monthly amount to pay
three or four men to fight fire. A
paid department is what we need
and we shall insist that some ar-
rangement be made to keep a cou-
ple of men on duty at the hose
houses.
Off to the War
The First Regiment of Arkansas
volunteers left Little Lock yester-
day for Chattanooga and will ar-
rive there tonight where they will
be equipped and then sent to the
front to form part of the invading
army in Cuba. The Arkansas Ga-
zette says the entire city turned
out to give them three cheers when
they pulled out of the city in the
three sections of eleven coaches to
the sections. The ladies had pre-
prepared lunches for the boys and
gave each one a pocket testament
and their blessings before they de-
parted.
The Latest Grape Vine.
Prof. Lincolnpoop of the aerial
service went up in an airship and
took a peep at Santiago harbor
yesterday and reports the Spanish
fleet there. He says he saw the
workmen putting wheels on the
ships and he believed that the
Spaniards were going to make an
excursion in the country. This
would make good Sunday reading
for our boiler iron papers to get
out under the head of extra and
would be just as reliable as that
published purporting to come by
wire.
Calls For More Men.
William McKinley is ont in a
proclamation calling for 75000 more
men to be taken from the different
states in proportion to populatian.
Arkansas quota will be 1200 and
before you can say “scat” the boys
will be in camp drilling. Our city
is offered an excellent chance to
send a company. Captain J. M.
Carter is now raising and if you
contemplate going you could not go
with a better man or one who will
look after your welfare and see
that you get all that is coming to
you than Captain Carter. It mat-
ters not whether you live on the
East or West Side you can enroll
in the Arkansas company and with
all the fun that has been thrown at
Arkansas in the past she has furn-
ished some of the bravest and best
soldiers ot any of the states in the
south and will be felt in this war
when our regiments are thrown
into an engagement with the
Spaniards.
Handsomely Done.
We must compliment the school
board of the West Side for retain-
ing almost all the old teachers and
we express sorrow at the one or
two changes they made in teachers
but do not censure the board for
this as they are in a position and
have studied the situation and act-
ed as they perhaps thought best. It
does not do a school anj’ good to be
changing teachers year in and year
out for teachers are like individu-
als they have their ways and whims
about them and it takes a child
some time to learn the ways of their
instructors and when once they
learn to respect and love their
teachers they learn taster and do
better at school in every way.
Professor Owens the superin-
tendent has been with the school
for the past two sessions and he is
one of the finest educators in the
South without perhaps an excep-
tion and his administration of
school affairs here will be satisfac-
tory to all. As to the corps of lady
teachers under him they are al)
competent well known here re-
spected and loved by the children
and will do their part in making the
coming session a successful one.
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 Syrup Co.

THE WEST SIDE SCHOOL BOARD.
After a Long Session Named the
Teachers and Fixed Their
Salaries.
The West Side school board was
called to order last night by Presi-
dent W. C. Hardin. Those members
present were Messrs. Mathews
Reese Cook Hiller McMahon and
Terry.
There was a stack of letters on
the secretary’s desk alarming to
behold consisting of about 200 ap-
plications. Accompanying many of
them were the photographs and a
biographical sketch of the appli-
cant and sheets of names recom-
mending them as fine educators in-
dustrious religiously inclined sober
and straight. The applications
were a waste of paper and postage
stamps tor the school board had
made up its mind to whom these
places would be given and their
words were out to those who had
made personal applications and
therefore the many good kind
teachers backed up by good en-
dorsements had no more chance to
get in than does Uervera’s ships
stand of getting out of Santiago
harbor.
Following are the teachers select-
ed with their salaries:
Superintendent—Prof. W.Owens

Miss Frances Rodgers in a well
written communication asked the |
school board to introduce physical i
culture in the school. The board |
thought this subject could be dis- j
cussed at some future meeting and j
the communication was filed away
to some future date.
There being no further business
the meeting adjourned.
Chas. Erber guarantees every-
thing as represented—not a single
misrepresentation since organized. !
