Hasty and Improper Marriages.

Gov. Eagle, in his message. RECON-
mended the passage Of laws toprevent
hasty and improper marriages, and
takes the same position that we did in
recent article III these columns which
was copied into various papers
throughout the State, in attributing
these marriages to the laxity of our
divorce laws. But there is a cause
for these unhappy marriages deeper
rooted than that suggested. Ii IS the
lack of proper training. Girls are
permitted to enter society altogether
too young. At from thirteen to fif-
teen years of age they are allowed by
fond but foolish parents to go to from
one to half dozen dances a week, re-
turning at 3 or O'Clock in the morn
ing, and they soon get SO that they
care for nothing on earth except
dances and parties. Spending their
time in such dissipation, they are
always too tired and listless
to perform household duties or to
learn anything that will quail
ify them for the stern realities Of life.
TO shave fun" is the height Of the am
bition Of the average nineteenth cen
tury girl, They marry with these
false ideas of life, and the consequence
is only what might be expected dis
appointment.
The girls are not to blame. 1t is the
fault Of the fool parents, who ought
TO teach their children that life is not
made up altogether Of pleasure.
Work of some kind is absolutely es-
sential, not only to usefulness, but to
happiness, and this is as applicable to
girls as boys.
Laws cannot prevent unhappy mar
riages.--Pulaski County Times.

Held Up.

At an early hour last evening, as
Mr.. John r Ligon, one of the popu-
lar messengers in the local employ OF
the Pacific Express CO., was vending
his way down Pine street, enroute to
call upon his best girl, he was halted
just opposite the Cumberland church
building, by pair of daring foot
pads, whose demand of "hands up
was emphasized by the click, click OF
a revolver. Mr.. Ligon, lost no time
in complying with the terms Of their
request, and in another moment, found
himself the subject of a searching in
vestigation, which, though made
without regard to due process of law,
was none the less rigid nor exhaustive.
To save time and gain the desirable
privilege of again restoring his bands
to the comfortable depths Of his pock-
cts, he informed his assailants Of the
exact location of his vauables, which
consisted of some small change, pearl
handled knife and bunch Of keys;
these articles were at once taken in
charge by his captors and after ex-
animation, the keys were returned,
with the order to move on. 1t Is
needless to say that this latter order
was promptly obeyed. Owing to the
absence of any street lights on the
West side, at or near the scene of the
robbery, Mr.. Ligon was unable to rec
ognize either of his assailants. 1t is
only reasonable to suppose that the
miscreants had knowlC dge OF Mr.
Ligon's connections with the Express
Company, and were prompted there.
by to the belief that they would find
in him rich and desirable subject for
their nefarious practice, in which
we are glad to know, they were totally
deceived. We trust that the officers
of the city, may succeed in locating
the daring scamps, and put sudden
and complete stop to their operations
in this line.

THE GATE CITY.


Never before since the first link of
the surveyors chain marked the site
whereon our growing and prosperous
city was first located has the prospects
of Texarkana appeared so fair and
ilattering as they do at this time.
That our city has possessed certain
natural advantages over her immedl-
ate sisters, in North Texas and South
Arkansas, cannot be denied, and that
these same advantages have in large
measure been made the cause of her
unexampled prosperity. Heretofore
each of the several roads given to this
city, has brought with it the develop
ment of one or possibly two Of the
great uudeveloped resources of this
country, in the opening up of large
timber belts or offering for settlement
vast tracts of fairly fertile and uni
formly productive lands. But never
in the history of Texarkana has any
road been enabled to do more than
this, hence il has remained for the
Texarkana & Fort Smith road to ex-
Gel, in point of local interest and
general worth, all former efforts at
railway construction. To the COM
pletion of this line between the points
recently agreed upon, will this people
owe the combined development of the
three greatest natural resources of the
country, that of timber in large and
almost inexhaustible quantities; coal
and mineral deposits, Of high order
and in vast amounts, and opening up
to habitation and cultivation one of
the largest and finest undeveloped
agricultural regions in the Southwest.
Aside from all this, the road will af-
ford to the business world an air line
from Kansas City to the Gulf, lessen
ing the existing distance by rail sew
cral hundreds Of miles. These unpar-
alelled advantages thus derived, win
have the combined effect of making
this one Of the most prosperous and
progressive business, railway and
manufacturing centers in the two
States. That we are are apt TO be
over sanguinc concerning the results
Of promised benefits, has been too
often demonstrated, for us to question
the possibility Of like mistake in
this instance. AT the same time, we
are deeply impressed with the desir-
ability and unexampled excellence and
worth Of this present enterprise to
both our city and her people, with the
firm conviction that the completion of
the proposed road between the termi-
nal points now agreed upon, will prove
by far the greatest and beyond all
comparison the most beneficial enter
prise ever undertaken in the history
of Texar4ana.

JULIAN HAWTHORNE.
The Writer of Fiction, Becomes the
Inventor of Calumny.

Founded upon the baseless fabric of
of fantastic lies-the result, perchance,
of mind diseased by bitter partisan
prejudice, rather than a willful per-
version of truth--the Northern nov
elist Julian Hawthorne, has arraigned
mankind, in general, and the people
of Texas, in particular, in terms of The
bitterest and most scathing denuncia-
ton, for the mode and manner of pun
ishment inflicted upon the body of the
ravisher and murderer of little Myrtle
Vance, at Paris, Tex, recently. This
diatribe against an inoflensive and un-
offending people, bears upon its face
the stamp Of inborn fanaticism and to
the unpredjudicied mind is unpardon-
able from every standpoint of human
reasoning. The article carries with II
neither impress Of sincerity, nor evil
dence of human sympathy. A whole
community of people are abused,
blackened and reviled, without one
word of commiseration for their alleg-
ed crime nor of coincidence for the
horrible condition which confronted
and forced upon them the necessity of
meeting horrible crime with terrible
punishment. The article is that Of a
diatribist, a fanatic, or what you will,
but bears not the slightest resemblance
to the work of either the moralist or
the true reformer, That he may make
an innocent people particeps criminis
in diabolical crime, the writer
divides the damnable deed into sepa-
rate crimes, ascribing the assault to
lis perpetrator and the murder to
fear of detection and death at the
hands of lawless people. This in the
face Of the fact that the former crime
was of such horrible brutality as to
include the latter Tho entire article
is equally unfounded in fact, unde-
served, and from every element of
justice and right, unmerited and un-
deserved.
Stick to your innocent fiction, Mr..
Hawthorne, and let criminal false
hoods alone.
