Barlow Bros, Minstrels.

The largest house of the season
greeted Barlow Bros Minstrels last
night at the opera house, and we can
safely say that it is the best minstrel
show on the road. Everything was
fun from the start to the finish, and
the old-time Southern "nigger was
well portrayed and brought down the
house on numerous occasions. Mas
ter Eddie Percy is a handsome boy
and as good a singer as can be found
in any show. Eddie caught the house
by storm. Win G. Mack, in his i'm
personation of the Southern "nigger,"
was perfect, and when he sang eFm
gwine back to Dixie" it brought tears
to the eyes Of many. Barlow Bros.
have the show, and we can record
them as first-class in every particular.

TExARKANA's WELFARE.

We cannot help folling gratified
over the general public notice and ap-
proval, with which the series of arti-
cles, contained in this paper, on local
progress, has met at the hands of this
people. To be q staunch and useful
friend to Texarkana and assist success
fully in advancing her interests and
promoting her welfare as well as that
of her people, is our deepest and dear
est ambition in our capacity of local
journalist, in this city. No man
save the "truly rich" can devote
himself wholly to a labor of love, for
loves sake alone, but every man may,
if he chooses, select an unseltish object,
even In the most selfish pursuits, for
which to labor earnestly and mseliish-
ly. The good Of our city, has been
and still is the chosen object of the
writer. This is the spirit which
should and must prevail in every
breast to secure Texarkana's advance
ment to that high plain among her
sister cities of the South, to which by
reason of her many superior advan-
tage, in point of location, railway
facilities, easy approach by land or
water, abundant forest and rich farm
ing lands, she is SO justly entitled.
Suppose we consider this matter, for
once, in its true light, realizing the
unity Of interest which exists between
every class and condition Of Texark-
anas reputable citizens and the neces-
sarily close and almost inseparable
bond which binds the welfare of the
citizen to the welfare of the city, max
ing one TO depend almost, if not en-
tirely, upon the other, Let this truth
once take root in the breasts of this
people, individually and collectively
and Texarkana's future, as the "Gate
Cityp to the fertile fields of the west,
and the pride of two States, is safely
assured.

The editor of the DEMOCRAT meant
no disrespect to Drs. Webster aud
Wisdom, in our Wednesdays issue
when we stated that we trusted that
they were mistaken as to diptheria
prevailing here, and was enclined to
the opinion that they were. Possibly
bias for the welfare of our own chill
dren, and others, might have innuenc-
ed our mind as to the matter. We
know that their opinion, and physi-
clans generally, as to disease, is far
more to be relied upon than ours, or
any one else not physician. Our es-
TEEN for the two gentlemen, and to
correct any wrong impressions caused
by our first article, impels us to make
this statement.

To ne Editor of The Dispatch:
Is there any way to get rid of weed
known TO farmers as sheep sorrel with
out ploughing 1t under r. +. >.
We had no information on this particular
subject, and we referred the query to the
United States Commissioner of Agricul-
ture, who answered it as follows:
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE,
OFFICE OF THE SEcRErARy,
WASHINGTON, ID. c.. May n, 1882.
To t.e Editor Of d,e Dispatch:
To the question "IIow TO get rid of sheep

eradicate il is almost impossible. 1t may
be subdued, however, TO such an extent
that il will not interfere with crops. This
il done by enriching the soil for the
growth of other plants, which, by good
husbaudry, viii maintain the ascendency.
Ii will appear again from the seed lying
dormant If the land be allowed to remain
idle without even q growth OF clover The
most sue cessful method. therefore, will be
the application of freshly Stacked lime,
which should be at hand TO be spread upon
the land as soon as the corn is planted. SO
that 1t may be thoroughly ,ntermixed with
the surface in working the crop. The
quantity per acre should be forty TO sixty
bushels. Upon cutting of the corn wheat
should be drilled in with fertilizers. avoid.
ing the use OF superphosphates or bones
dissolved with sulphuric acid, as this acid
would stimulate the growth of sorrel
Bone-meal. kauit. and salt would prove
the best combination bone. IS KANT

sown upon the wheat; and when the iand
is ploughed again another application OF
lime should be made. This process vii

" showers" of Frogs.

To ne Editor ofthe DlsDaich:
Will YOU please say whether you know of
any instance where frogs fell during rains.
A SUBscIDEH.
We do not. Frogs and toads deposit
their eggs in stagnant water, where
they hatch into tadpoles. The tadpoles
are tranformed into frogs or toads. and
when their feet have developed and their
tails dropped off the young frogs remain for
the most part in the water. while the toads
hide themselves under leaves and in the
grass, or under other sheltering objects at
or near the surface of the ground.
Showers attract Them from their retreats,
sometimes in immense numbers, and the
probability is that most of the showers
of toads J." are merely their sudden appear
ance from concealment.
