We propose to herewith discontinue our
watch called Eigins Pride" No. 102, and
to substitute therefor watch made by the
Waltham Company, which we believe will
not be open to the objections which have
been made to the other fancy-dial watch so
extensively advertised and sold by US. The
hands upon the "Elgin's Pride " were i'm
ported, and great difficulty was found in
fitting them to do satisfactory work. In
our new watches these difficulties have been
obviated by the genius Of American work
men, who in all cases of competition have
proved their superiority.
The difficulties we encountered in making
up the EIgn's Pride have thus been OBJ
waited by the new product OF the American
Waltham Watch Company. The hands and
dial of the new watch are made by the
methods which have. proved American me-
chanics famous in this as in all other
branches. In the watches we offer, the
movement, also, is made by the Waltham
Watch Company. This watch will be fur
nished in same fancy engraved case as
"Elgins Pride.n TIE works are jeweled in
all important parts With precious stones, the
regulator is OF an lmpfoyed pattern; the
handspring is made under Logan's great
patents; the dial is handsome beyond our
powers of description, and altogether the
watch looks like a s$las time piece, from
which nobody but an expert can distinguish
it, and that only after u most searching ex
animation. The case is made of solid gold
in two thick plates, stitfened in between
with q sheet OF very strong composition
metal. The case guaranteed TO wear like
solid gold for ID years. In every way this
watch is bound to prove one of the most
magnificent and satisfactory articles we have
yetsent out.
This watch is the famous thin model, and
resembles the world renowned Waltham
Riverside" in all important points We
will sell this watch to subscribers only, de-

Another Trip to Sulphur River.

This morning U. S. Engineer Ewens,
accompanied by party OF prominent
Texarkanians, and Congressman Thos.
C McRae, went down to Sulphur Sta
ton to make final examination of
Sulphur river Among those who
went from the city we noticed Messrs.
w. l.. Whitaker, VIM. Buchanan, f.
M. Henry, +. w. Mullins and W. J.
Buhrman.
The party expect to go down the
river to Fort Lynn, which is near the
mouth Of the stream, and return to-
night via the Texarkana and Shreve-
port railroad.
1t is to be regretted that Congress
man d. b. Culberson could not be
with the party, on account Of the sick
ness Of his wife.
That Sulphur river will be opened
up to navigation is now almost a cer-
tainty. The engineer will, without
doubt, report in favor Of this, and
Congressman Culberson and McRae
will secure the necessary appropria-
tion from Congress for the work.

MORE MUGwUMPERY.

President Cleveland, the longer he
remains in the White House, brings
to light more and more of his mug
wumpery. He not only refuses to DIS
turb Republican Office holders until
their terms expire, but is dictatorial
in making selections of those to be
filed. 1t is now announced that he
will let Republicans hold over, in all
cases where the Senate refuses to con-
firm nominations made. He thus tries
to make himself greater than the
Democratic Senate or the party.
1t is an outrage that Democrats are
not put in charge of the government,
from top to bottom. If the election
last November meant anything, 1t in
dicated most emphatically that the
people were tired of Republican rule,
and wanted change. Republican
officials, kept in office by Cleveland,
cannot reform in governmental econ
omy-they are not built that way
There should be some way to eff
fectually rebuke Cleveland,
Democrats can show their disappro-
baton, in thunder tones, by holding
indignation meetings and passing
proper resolutions. And the people
who elected Cleveland have right, if
they see fit, to call for his resignation,
ifhe fails to fill the high Office of Pres
ident satisfactorily. The mere fact
that such thing has never yet been
done is no reason why it cannot or
ought not to be done, under certain
circumstances.

COLUMBIAN ENTERTAINMENT.

Notwithstanding the rather incle-
ment weather last evening, the opera
house was crowded with the beauty
and chivalry of Texarkana, TO witness
the entertainment gotten up by the
East side Columbian Club, under the
direction of Mesdames Paul Jones and
G. l.. Pitcher. 1t was representa-
tive, intelligent audience, and all were
delighted with the evenings program;
the frequent applause and many en-
cores attested hearty appreciation and
enjoyment of those present on the oc-
casion. The ladies and gentlemen
who took part in the program, all did
splendidly, and it is hardly fair or
right to give special commendation to
any.
The entertainment was an eminent
success in every way-socially and
financially-and the ladies of the Co
lumbar society, and all who assisted
in the evenings program deserve
great credit therefore, inasmuch as it
assures creditablo exhibit for Tex

THE BIG KRUPP GUN,
The Largest in the World Presented
to the City of Chicago.

At the conclusion of the Worlds
Fair, the monster Krupp gun, the big
gest piece of ordnance in the world,
will be presented to Chicago by Herr
Krupp and mounted in fort off
Hyde park, permission to build which
was to-day given to Col. Robert T.
Rea, of Chicago, by the secretary of
war. The fort will be located on five
acres of made ground and according
to the very latest plans of fertilization.
The work is to be of earth. The work
will begin very soon and will be push
ed with the greatest possible rapidity.
1t will be finished in comparatively
short time, and from then until the
end of the Fair ii will be used for the
practice ground of an artillery COM
pany, the practice being carried on
with the most improved artillery in
the governments possession. When
the Fair is over, the fort will be oc-
cupied by government artillery, and
the monster Krupp gun will be mount
ed here, ready for inspection or active
service. With its immense power it
can protect Chicago from its northern
coast to its southern, for by its per-
fected sights the expert gunner can
obtain an accuracy Of marksmanship
that will enable them TO throw shot

Time---Eternity,

We cannot hear it, and we cannot
see it, we cannot feel il, and yet time
moves right along by us continually,
slipping behind us with noiseless
tread. We move on and on toward
eternity, scarcely stopping in our mad
rush to accumulate the things Of time
to think that time will have slipped
entirely from us, grasping, as she
slips away, all that we have accumu-
lated of hers and carrying 1t with her.
And SO at last we must step off the
shore of time, into the broad, inter-
minable sea of enternity with-noth-
ing. Only a few weeks ago Jay Gould
counted his possessions by millions.
They were not his in fact, they belong
ed to time. In a moment time left
him, slipped behind him, dropping
him into eternity, but she held to what
was hers and he Carried nothing with

so, through all the ages, men have Ia

themselves the things that belong to
