Mr.. Jno. W. Bridgers has concluded
not to take out license to retail LIQUORS
another year, and his present license
will expire before the month is out.
This step is altogether voluntary on
his part, as he had the names of a large
majority of the citizens of Macon on
his petition, but he believes it will be
more pleasant and, We hope, more
profitable to engage IN some other
business. lie will open a grocery

The Coming Election for Two Lord
Mayors and Aldermen.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
TExARKANA, March 9.-The municipa
election, which takes place in both diyi
sions of the city on April 3, is the absorb-
ing topic on both sides of the line. The
Arkansas side has full ticket out fol
mayor and aldermen, and both of the great
political parties have champions in the
field. On the west side there are
a number of aspiran.s for the
honors. The holding of g convention to
nominate ticket has been suggested by
some, but as there cannot possibly be any
politics in the matter, others with good
reasons oppose the convention and favor
a free race and a fair count" There is
an abundance Of good material II the
city from which to select two lord mayors
and two sets of aldermen.
