"Artfu1 Dodger" who relieved him of his
watch by an old trick we'll known and often
practiced in larger cities. lie was met by
a stranger who enquired the time of night
and when he unsuspectingfy pulled out his
watch to give tho information the thief
snatched it and made good his escape in
the darkness. Mr.. Graves does not seem
to regret the loss of the watch so much as
he does being so easily taken in, but he
consoles himself with the thought that any

Messrs. J. s. Handy, II. II. Naf and the

Mr.. Reynolds would say, ''got move on
them and served a handsome dinner,

Improvements.

The building boom seems to have at last
struck Monroe in earnest and in almost all
parts Of the city can be heard the song of
the hammer and the trowel. Col. Garrett
son is gathering material for the addition
OF another story to tho Pelican Saloon and
a general overhauling and enlargement Of
the Opera House, which will he placed in
tho best condition ere the opening of the
next theatrical season the King building
adjoining is being thoroughly, overhauled,
and, as previously stated, will be occupied
by Messrs. Cason Il Reilly; the Breard
building on North Grand street is progress
ing rapidly toward completion; the hand.
some depot of the Houston, Central Arkan-
sas & Northern Il. r. is nearly completed
and in its vicinity houses are springing up
so rapidly that that portion of the city will
soon be unacceptable. Our saw mills
arc pushed to supply the demand for lum-
Der as are also the brick yards for supply
ing the demand on them for brick; the ice
factory is being replaced by brick struc-
ture and there will doubtless he several
additional sheds for the storage of cotton
added to the compress this summer. With
her electric lights and, perhaps, street car
line in operation, the s'Queen City of the
Ouachita Valley" will be in position by
the opening of next Falls business sea-
son to put on a truly metropolitan garb.
There is no doubt now but that Monroe
will soon take the place that nature intend
ed her to have-in the front rank of pro-
gressive Southern towns. She has hitherto
had much to contend against, but she has
stood the crucial test and will march at the
head of the procession. Now is the time
for the cotton factory the bagging factory
