Fournier and situated on Craven street
between Broad and Washington streets.
The fire had a grand start from defec-
tive chimney, but all of the five tenants
were successful In saving thier household

ants were just beginning housekeeping,
and had o full list OF new goods. The
building was insured and the damage at
roof was Totally destroyed, and the inter
ior gutted.

A Joke OF DICK ems.

Charles Dickens bought pictures. now
and then. paying for them the sum the
artists asked. But lie once bought pic
turs for which he persuaded the painter
to charge him high price. The story,
which illustrates both Dickens generosity
and his love of fun. is told in the memoir
of Richard Redgrave, the artist.
Mso,ise, intending to paint subject
for which he wanted n lady as a model,
asked Miss Hogarth, Dickens's sister-in-
law, to sit. When the work was finished
the figure was thought very beautiful,
and very like the model.
A few days afterward q gentleman
called on Maclise, and said that an old
gentleman In the country, wishing to
possess one OF the painters pictures, had
deputed him to see what he had on the
easel. The one for which Miss Hogarth
had sat was admired by the visitor, who
said he was sure it would please his
friend, to whom he would write and O.
scribe IL.
In a few days letter came TO Maclise,
written In feeble, old hand. The writer,
In a delightfully."- garrulous strain, ex-
pressed his admiration OF several pic.
lures OF Maclise's which he had seen. and
asked the price Of the one described by
his friend, as he was sure he would be
pleased with IL.

The long struggle for the election of
mayor is over at last, and Mayor Pond
has majority Of thirty votes, a cut of
nearly 500 votes from his handsome
majority OF two years ago The total vote
dropped of nearly 500 from the second
trial, owing TO the violent storm which
commenced at 2 O'Clock. At that hour
the vote was heavier than at any OF the
previous trials, and had the pleasant
weather continued the result would have
been different, as many Republican voters

GREAT CLEARANCE SALE.

Many commented upon the closing
of the popular Star Clothing estab-
Iishment, on Tuesday, and wondered
the cause tnerefog Well we were
busy marking down prices and pre-
pairing for our great Clearance Sale
now going on. II required y large
force of ready assistants to do this
work in one day, but we are now
ready to satisfy and please everybody,
having cut prices down just one half
Our reasons for this great slaughter
of prices are simply these: We have
greatly oyerstocked ourselves with
heavy winter suits and fine winter
overcoats, ranging in price from s15
to VS., and We do not propose to carry
this many thousand dollars worth OF
elegant fall and winter clothing over,
for another year. Styles change con-
tinually. so if we were TO carry these
goods ovel until next year, we would
then have TO sell them al reduced
rates, to say nothing of our loss upon
the money invested for whole year.
Now we have reasoned the matter
over and have come to the conclusion
that we had better sell these goods
out now at so cents on the dollar than
carry them over for twelve months
and then perhaps get no more for them.
Having come to this conclusion and
realizing that there are only few
months of winter left US, we have de-
termined to offer such inducements TO
the trade as to make it an object for
every man in Texarkana and the sur
rounding country to buy him a SUIT of
clothes and an OvercOat at our great
bargain sale. Just think of ii. Only
$3.50 for an elegant suit Of stylish
winter clothing, clear saving of
$3.50 to every purchaser. Other
goods proportionably low. The same
rule applies to our overcoats, which
are beyond question the handsomest,
most durable and most stylish selec-
ton ever brought TO this market.
ONLY 80 DAYS, REMEMBER.
This great sale lasts exactly 80 days,
FROM our opening tomorrow. The
stock is 80 large as to be almost mex
naustible, but it will pay you to call
early and secure your choice from the
entire stock. Do not forget the price,
$3.50 buys any suit or overcoatin the
stock. This is one opportunity in 8
thousand-do not miss it. Don't for
get the place.
