Considerable surprise is often felt
aud experienced at the number of
visitors, especially travelling men,who
stop over here on Sunday, making
this city kind of meeting centre, for
the travelling men of this section. 1t
is not to be wondered at, however,
when the fact is considered that Tex
arkaus possesses, in addition to her e1-
cellent railway facilities, which are
scarcely surpassed by those of any
any other city in the two states, hotel
Accommodations of a character that is
not equalled by many other cities OF
twice her size. In fact Texarkana has
three hotels. any one Of which would
be considered as an ornament to the
average city OF this class. With the
dual indueement of her unusually ex-
cellent railway facilities and hotel con-
veniences it is no wonder that our city
has found favor in the eyes of the
travelling public.

The friends of Judge and Mrs. Il
A. Byrne, will regret to learn of their
intended departure from our city.
Judge Byrne is one Of TexarkanSs
early citizens and has held prominent
positions of trust and honor in the
state, having served as Circuit Judge
of this judicial circuit and State Sena-
tor from the Senatorial district CON-
prising Miller, Lafayette aud Column

ognized ability, and commands the
esteem of both bar and bench. Mrs
Byrne has been quite leader in local
social circles. They viii both be

the city will probably not take place

port that if elected | would 'let the
