Knox Point Festivities.

several others, went down on the
evening of June Goth, and was met
at Atkins Store by the courteous
and hospital Atkins Brothers and
Mr.. T. D. Council, who had antici-
pated our coming and prepared a
hearty welcome. Being quite a
crowd of us, some went to Mr.. j. D.
and some to Mr.. j. w. Atkins,
where we were met by the most
amiable and polite hostesses it was
ever our pleasure to meet. The next
morning, as our little crowd came
together We had quite a discussion
as to which division had received
the warmest and most royal enter
tainment. Nor was it ever decided,
for each stood firm in the assertion |
that his was the most pleasant.
On the morning of June 80, the
crowd began to collect at Atkins
Store, and before 10 o'clock the
whole ground was covered with
horses and buggies. About half
past 10 we repaired to the picnic
grounds, where we were greeted
with delightful music from the
Shreveport Brass Band. All being
comfortably seated, it was announc-
ed the tournament would open. The
band struck up a lively air, and
looking down the track we beheld,
in beautiful array, eleven nicely
costumed and we'll mounted knights,
marshalled by Hon. Fl. G. String
fellow, who, in very few and ap-
propriate words, introduced the con-
testants to the large crowd. The
first knight was the Golden Lance
Mr.. T. D. Cornell. After him came
the following knights: I" White
Rose"-J. B. Hargrove; "Stars'-
| j. L. Hutchinson "Roses"-H. E.
| Atkins "Columbia"-S. Williams;
"Sigma Chin-Geo. w. Robinson !;
"Shreveport Challenger"-F. F.
Bates; "Marine"-J. B. Atkins;
Hopewell B. Graham !;
"Peacen-J. L. Kimball; "Ranche"-
Charles Nuckolls; all of whom did
we'll, displaying remarkable horse
manship and great skill with the
lance.
| After close contest of about two
hours, the honors were awarded
Messrs. Hugh E. Atkins, j. A. At
kins, G. w. Robinson and w. B.
Graham. Miss Oracle Poole was
crowned Queen by Mr.. 81. e. Atkins;
| Miss Effie Poole, first maid of honor,
by Mr.. j. B. Atkins; Miss Margie

Insists ON Civil Service for Democrats
Washington Special.
These be busy times at the White House.
The President is hammering away on federal
appointments, trying to clear some of then up
before the annual reports of the bureaus come
pouring in, and he will have to begin work upon
that fascinating novelette, the Presidents mes
sage. Mr.. Cleveland does not like to write, and
he works harder over that dozen columns of
chestnnts than anybody thinks. His brain is
anything but nimble, and he is not one of the
favored to whom Dogberry says reaiing and
writing come by nature But the old Slyboots
keeps cutting Republican heads off with one
hand while he works the civilservice machine
with the other, just the same as ever.
One thing seems to have escaped notice
so far Mr.. Cleveland is down on
mans holding one Office while running for
another, and in the of one of the Taylor
brothers, running for Governor of Tennessee,
expressed horror and amazement that any man
should be so depraved as not to resign at once
when he was nominated for another Office Now,
did Mr.. Cleveland resign the shrievalty of Erie
county when lfe was running for Mayor of Buff
falo! Did he resign the mayoralty when he was
running for Governor of New York; Did he re-
sign the governorshlp of New York when he was
running for President of the United Statesl
Nay, more-and this is going to give Mr.. Cleve-
land hoist on his own petard when the Repub-
licans begin TO think it over-will Mr.. Ceve-
land resign the presidency in case he should be
renominated? Will he hold federal Office
while running for officel This Mr.. Cleveland
has declared TO be very grevous thing, and
folks want to know what he is going to do

suggestion pleased the owners of the patent. and
it did not startle them to be told that it would
not cost more than 100000 to get the bill
through in the way described.
IAN arrangement was made with Connecti-

Cleveland, with sly wink, 'to go to Washing
ton and take charge of the rubber bill He was
not to be interfered with, and he was to draw
upon the proprietors of the patent to the extent
of 800, 900, if so much money was needed The
man went to Washington, inquired carefully
about the prospects of the bill, and discovered
that there was no opposition to it, All that was
necessary to insure its passage was to say nothing
about it. The agent Of the hard-rubber men
gave dinners frequently, and at an alleged enor-

she has moved into beautiful new

pretty and attractive woman, and being well
fitted for society, loves it very much. But three
years ago her health broke down, and from that
time until now she has only been an occasional
visitor in Washington. The prospect of her
pleasant house being again opened is good news
