Mr.. Meagher, who keeps a dairy herd
OF cows on the block bounded by Seven
'eehth and Eighteenth, d and e streets,
appeared before the Board of Trustees on
Monday evening and asked that his
water rate be reduced, on the ground that
durlng the winter season his cows drank
mostly out of pond holes. A spectator
remarked soto Uoce that "it might be we'll

Mr.. Meagher called at tile RECORD

during the rainy season a large pond OF
slpage and surface water collects in a

that the cows prefer it to the city water.

In another column of todaY's

from the Hope Reporter" con-
cerning exaggerated rumors of
small pox, and other loathsome and
infectious diseases, at this place,
and making the "amende honora-
ble, " faRpublication of same. We
viii state, in explanation, that in
our reply to the Reporters prev
ious articles we did not deny the
existence of small pox" at Texar-
kama past or present, but we de-
nounced the exaggerated rumors of
deaths from same, and false ineun-
dos as to character of disease. We
simply stated the truth, that dis
ease was "small pox," pure and
simple, that it never, at any time,
reached an epidemic stage, and
that the disease at Texarkana had
been practically stamped out, by
prompt and vigorous precautionary
measures, until, today, the disease
amounts to little more than a pain

stated facts, fully and fairly, all
who are acquainted Herewith, will

We regret exceedingly the inabil-
ity of our local grocery merchants
to agree upon early hour for closing
their places of business on each ev-
ening, save Saturday, during the
present summer. There could be
no loss to the merchant in such an
arrangement, faithfully carried out
as, once the public was convinced
of the rule, the loss of trade after
Z o'clock p. m, during the first five
evenings of each week would not
amount to enough to pay for light
ing the store. Then, too, such an
arrangement is due to the over
worked clerks, who are content to
to labor until 10 o'clock at night
during the winter, but think, and
with good reason too, that they
should be given this cheaply pur-
chased rest, by their employers. In
view of the fact, that all other
classes of Texarkanas merchants
have made some provision for the
benefit of their employees, during
the summer months, we suggest
that the grocers follow suit.

The Why and Wherefore.

There is nothing marvellous in
the fact that Hoods Sarsaparilla
should cure so many diseases.
When you remember that a major
ICY of the disorders ''fesh is heir
to" are due to impure or poisonous
condition of the blood, and that
Hoods SarSaparilla is an effective
and radical blood purifier, the
whole thing IS explained.
Besides its blood purifying quail
ties, Hoods Sarsaparilla also con-
tains the best known vegetable
stomach tonics, diuretics, kidney
remedies and liver invigorants; and
is thus an excellent specific for all
disorders of these organs, as we'll as
for low condition of the system, or
for That Tired Feeling.
