10 the following account of literary en-
tertainment and concert, a. Watsugs, Tar
rant county, taken from Fort Worth
paper, the names of several persons formerly
residents of Dallas appear
The concert at Wstsuga Wednesday night
was very largely attended. The programme
was well arranged and splendidly executed.
All acquitted themselves with much credit.
Too much credit can not be given to tho
Misses Elliott, Dunn and Speer
for their untiring energy in accom-
plishing what any society might
well be proud of. There were about q doz.
en- visitors from the Fort out TO the concert,
aud among them our representative who was
present by special invitation. After few
appropriate remarks by Capt Speer, tho
chairman of tho "Resding Club" the follow
ing programme was presented.

Tsbleau, 1.-THE studio" The concert wal
given by the ."ReadiDg Club" Of
Watauga and vicinity, though the
whole neghborhood took great interest in
tho success of the concert. This society wat
re-organized last week, and taking this fact
into consideration with others, we have nc
hesitancy in pronouncing the concert de-
ci'ed success in every sense Of the word
The Rotations were excellent, the songs
good, and the address of Mr.. Flowers
was well received and appreciated. The rec
itation by little Annie Elliot was perhaps the
most striking feature of the whole proceed
ings. She is little lady of three bright
summers, Her recitation was long, exceed
ingly 60 tor one SO young, but kept the lars,
audiencoin an uproar all the time she was re-
citing. Much Credits dueto Mr. Nuekolls fol
the excellent manner in which he conductc
the concert as secretary of the "Readinl
club" Such an organization is credit and
benefit to any community. We are Ger
tsin our friends who had the pleasure Of at
tending from the city will bear us out in the
statement that everything was complet,
success, though they had to walk few mile
before getting there.

The Presidents Wound.
New York World

1t Ia said to be now demonstrated by the
electrical instrument that "the ball ID lodged
at point five inches below the naval and
three and half inches to tho right of the
median line"-in other words, in the lilac
fossa--and that it is only an inch and half
from tho surface. This, it is said, confirms
in all respects the theory maintained by
DR.. Bllsa." DR.. Bliss theory was that
this ball passed through the liver, traversed
the abdominal cavity and lodged
somewhere in the abdominal wall-he could
not say where. 1t is now proved that il
never touched the liver, that it never was in
the abdominal cavity; but that it passed
around behind tho deep muscles and lodged
where iii found, in the abdominal wall. If
this suslains that theory 1t must be through
a very elastic use of words. 1t is clear
enough that the presidents wound is one
that would not have kept him off his feet

Moving for civil Rights.
A Nashville, Tenn, paper contain

A Nashville, Tenn, paper contains
the following:
''There seems to be a preconcerted
movement on he part of the cOiOred
people in this city to revive the civil
rights agitation. Yesterday Mrs. Har-
ding, the wife OF a prominent eOlored
man, endeavOred to fore, her way in
the ladies Car on the Nashville & Chat
anooga. Railroad, but was licked out
A scuffle ensued OH the platform and
finally General Manager Thomas was
called. He ordered a similar coach to
be attached to the train for the accom-
lnOdatiOn Of Mrs. Harding. She, how
ever, refused to enter it, and left the
depot. Later in the day suit was in
slituted against the company for %.
600 damages and criminal proceedings
were instituted in the United States
Court. This morning Miss MeLemore.
a eOlnred Organist at one of the church
es, attempted to enter the Ladies coach
at the Louisville and Nashville depot,
but was prevented. The railroad au-
thorities switched on another coach,
and requested the white passengers to
change to that one, which was done.
Miss McLemOre was then idvited TO en-
ter the first coach, but refused and
left. The opinion prevails that their is
an organized effort to make damages
out OF railroads. The matter has caus-
Ell qnite sensation.

that as its object in view.
There is decided expression of sur
prise that, for the trial of a case OF such
importance, Il court is net cOnveneSf Of
officers of high rank and mature eXpe-
rience on cOurt-martial duty. In that
case the most eXacting could but be sat :
istled and silenced. Many think that the
court should be composed of the full
number authorized by law (thirteen
officers). representing every grade sen-
iOr to Flipper's grade and that the
Judge Advocate should be selected from
the most competent OF the regular corps
belonging to the army Bureau of Mil

tfEUTENANr FLrppER, in a private
letter to an old tutor, which Is pub
lished in the Globe, denies the charges
of fraud or emhezzlemert made
against him. He charges his superb
or officers with using cunning and
triokery to entrap him into his present
position. All of which he hopes to
clearly establish before the Court
martial which will try him. From
the statements Of his letter Lieutenant
Flipper certainly has been outrageous
ly treated since the charges were
made against him. He was thro wn
into prison, his private papers and
property seized upon, and treated
just us convicted telon. The officers
guilty Of the untimely prosecutions
should themselves be tried before a
Court-nartial and severely punish
ed. The guilt or innocence of Lieu

proper authorities to decide. Mean
