The Daily Texarkanian., 1894-05-18

Every citizen of Texarkana, who
feels an interest in the welfare of
our public school, should turn out
tomorrow, and take part in the
election of the two new members OF
the local board.
Texarkana has passed through a
threatened "small pox epidemic,
in a manner which reflects credit
upon its entire official system, espe-
cially upon the city Board of Health
and its excellent physician.
Don't forget the "Ice cream and
Strawberry supper" to be given, on
Tuesday evening, next, by the Y.P.
see, of the First Presbyterian
Church. The event promises to be
an enjoyable and successful one.
1t was from the office of DR.. Hun
ter, instead of DIR. Greene, that the
case of surgical instruments, etc,
were purloined, the theft of which
is lain at the door of young Bryant,
who was arrested at Houston, Tex,
and returned to this city, by Sher-
iff Moores, a day or two since.
Our citizens should take prompt
steps to raise the $800.00 necessary
to purchase the town clock, to be
placed in the tower of the new Mill
er County Court house. The clock
will prove both useful and orna-
mental, adding much to the new
court house, as a public building.
In this era of change and pro-
gress many things are being re-
versed, For instance, we used Of
ten to hear the admonition; "Boys
look out, the old men have their
eyes on YOU" Now, however, it is
more often, and perhaps, more ap-
propriately said: "Old men look
out, the boys have their eyes on
you.
Our senior, ]. W. Gardner, and
wife are enjoying the sylvan shades
of Pleasant Lake, today. Incl
dentally Mr. g., is trying the charm
of certain new tangled "glass min
now, on the gullible bass, of those
waters. We will leave the story of
his success (?) to be told by him
self.
DR.. Saner, local health officer, of
Hope, Ark, was in the city, yester-
day, comforting with the East Side
board of health, relative to the
proposed quarantine against his
town. This is another of those
cases in wich the ownership of the
COX, makes all the difference in the
world,
j, M. Jolly, the pupular Western
Passenger agent for the E. t. V. &
G. Ry, came in from Dallas Tex,
last evening, and remaining over, is
visitor in the city today. He is
the Iolliest, most genial and best
know man, of his years, in the pas
senger service, of any road in his
State.
The various candidates for office,
in Miller County, are getting down
to work, with vengeance. They
are determined to lose none of the
time, which remains to them, be-
fore the primary election puts an
end to the contest. Only one more
month remains in which to convince
the dear people, that 81 am the
man, of all men, for that Office, OF
all Offices.
Several fishing parties went out
over the different roads, this am.
for days sport on the Lakes,
SO far as the Catching of fish" is
concerned the sport is extremely
doubtful, but if lovely weather,
charming woodland scenery, and
hours of indolent ease, can compen-
safe for the absence of the scaly
beauties, their trip may certainly
prove an enjoyable one.
Mr.. Frank Whitley, the Spring
field capitalist, and well known pro.
moter of Electric Street car lines,
after weeks stay in the city, left
today, for Hot Springs, Ark. He
is accompanied by Capt G. W.
