To our Friends and Patrons.

We wish to call the attention of the friends
and patrons of the COURIER to the necessity
of their being on the alert, in the matter Of
judicial publications, (sherif's sales especial
lyl, as q neglect on their part to give positive
instructions as to where they desire such
advertisement published, is apt TO result in
our being deprived of the patronage that
would otherwise be given to us. The sheriff
of this parish has been making himself es-
pecially jealous in the matter of securing
sheriffs sales for the paper of which he is
director and stockholder, and several publica-
lions of that nature have appeared in that
paper which the parties interested would
have selected to be done in the COURIER, had
they been consulted and Others have been
diverted from us at the special solicitation OF
the sheriff or his deputies serving the papers
in the matter of seizures.
To those who prefer to patronize any other
paper in this parish we have no desire to in
terfere with their preferences, but our friends
who wish to favor us with their patronage
are earnestly requested to see that the proper
officers are instructed to have the publication
done In the CoURIER-and they are especially
warned against allowing themselves to be in
iuced to consent that the advertisement
should be don't in some other paper.

The Farmers Alliance in Claiborne

movement and viii support Gen.
Weaver for President. The Guardian
Journal, the local paper published
there, has always been staunchly Dem
oeratic, and advises the formation OF
Cleveland and Stevenson clubs through
out the Alliance parishes to combat
the Third Partyites and to preserve
Democratic Supremacy. This sugges.
ton is most timely and should be acted
upon at once, for the reason that the

THE DUMMY ROAD.

What about the dummy line to Col
lege Hill Our people should show
Prof. Bryant that they appreciate the
fine school he is building up in Texar-
kama a dummy line will do much in
the way Of assisting iu making the
College Il solid, permanent and grand
institution, and at the same time de
yelOp and help the city in many ways.
MessrS. Kirby and others ON College
Hill propose TO do their full part, now
let our live business men do the rest,
and the line will be built and that
speedily. 1t win be pay ing road
from the start, so no one need hesitate
in taking stock therein.
Let us not delay. The road viii
not cost $4,000. Other towns in Ar
kansas, notably, Arkadelphia, Conway
and Searcy, donated large sums, rang
ing from $35,0O0 to S65,OO0 in cash. TO
secure the location of good colleges.
Now, can't Texarkana take stock in
paying dummy line to our Interstate
College, Certainly they can, and
ought to do so.
A factory, employing 200 men, will
not help Texarkana as much as will a
1rst-class, permanent and prosperous
college. The school has already
brought into the city a number of
families, and if our citizens will build
this dummy line and patronize the in
stitution hundreds will come in.
Let us talk up our College, and its
many adyantages-how skillfully it is
managed, of its corps Of able instruct
ors of its large free library, of its
thousands of dollars worth Of splendid
apparatus, etc, etc. AT the same time
let us upheld and sustain it, as one of
our noblest and best institutions, that
win draw men and capital to our city.
In conclusion, why can not our cit.
izens join in u mass meeting to can.
vass and discuss the question of build
ing the proposed dummy line to Col
lege Hill? 1t will not cost over SO or
$4,000, and stock company can
easily be organized that will take the
stock and build and equip the road.
Will our mayor or some prominent
business man make such call?
