much to say of the inferiority of

When the hospital was in the old
rookery on South Lamar street,
people who did good for the sake
of doing good, and not for popular
applause, visited the inmates, who,
in every sense of the word, were
objects of charity. Visitors to the
hospital in those days were few in
number. Since the new building
has been opened, the people who
ride in fine carriages and buggies
find it very pleasant to spend and
hour or so on Sunday afternoons.
The little church whose members
used to go regularly through the
mud, sand and dust, as the case
might be, to the old negro school

there is nothing left for us to do,
said one of the former earnest

One well-to-do family keep the dog
in an under ground cellar. People
who own dogs and harbor them
are now subject to arrest, for eVad'
ing the law.
The Dallas Artillery returned
from the Interstate drill at Little
Rock, completely disgusted at
the treatment they received
at the hands of the judges;
but wonderfully pleased with
the hospitable manner in which
they were treated by the cit
liens. A great many people
who witnessed the drill were con-
fident that Dallas Light Artillery
would capture the price. The citi-
