We wish to state few facts, for the con-
sideration of the general public, and ask care
full perusal and consideration Of the same we
believe the people want to sustain and keep up
a good newspaper in TeXarkana.
Now for the facts as to the "Texarkanlan:
1t has by far the most complete printing
outfit the city ever had-inveStment is more
than double that of any other plantin the city.
With bran new body type and latest styles OF
new job and advertising display type best
presses, run by little gem Of gas engine no
city of Texarkana's size in the South can show
better equipped office, nor turn out neater pa
per, or more stylish job work, at lowest prices
1t employs, and pays cash, for more labor
than any other office in the city. Five or SIX
families derive support or revenue from its
income. Its monthly expense account most OF
which stays in Texarkana footS up from $500
to $3.50 per month. 1t is live, progressive
newspaper, outspoken for right. Democratic
to the core, reserves the privilege Of cenSur-
ing wrong in its own party as we'll as out Of it.
1t gives daily nearly double as much inter-
esting reading matter as any other paper in the
city, and is by far the neatest paper ever gotten
out here---so dozens Of citizens have told us.
Its job department is the best equipped in
Southwest Arkansas or Northeast Texas. Any
and all classes of job printing done to order,
equal to St. Louis, ant prices in competition
with the world. Satisf lcton guaranteed in ev-
cry instance. Bring III your job work.
CONCI USIONS.
Now for conclusions: S: Having invested our
money and given our entire time to the upbuild-
ing Of such paper, ar constantly laboring for
the best interests Of Te ;arkana, can we not rea-
sonably ask for an increased public patronage?
That many who should do so, do not advertise
advertise nor give us their JOB work is painful
fact. Now, try us and see if you wont get "val-
ue received" in every instance.

MEETING OF THE N R. P. A.
ALBERT ASK

The annual meeting of the Ma
tional Reform Press Association re-
Gently held at St. Louis, Mo-, was a
grand success. About one hundred
delegates were present, and many
matters of interest were discussed.
One Of the objects Of this association
is to make sure that the ready print
houses or those who furnish what is
called the patent inside5 for papers,
send out to Populist papers good
square Populist matter. 1t is with
extreme difficulty that these houses
are held in check and kept from
sending out gold-bug literature to re-
form papers. This organization has
done a great work in that direction.
There are still some houses that dc
not come up to the mark, and these
will be attended to in the near flu
ture. We doubt if ever a new party
was backed by as strong press as is
the Peoples party. The reform
press association displayed yigor
and enthusiasm that it would be
difficult for the old party press to
surpass. The reform press is 10
Longer a local affair. Its strong arms
reach out over the entire country,
and for ability, energy and devotion
to its cause, it need hot take a seat
! behind any one. And the wonderful
vitality of reform papers Was a sub
ject of remark. Dependent almost
entirely upon subscriptions, it holds
its own financially with It's more pre-
tentious old party neighbors, not
outstanding their official pulls.
This is a good sign, and shows that
there is demand among the people
for reform literature. May that de-
mand increase. The following oil

A LETTER FROM DUPLIN.

WARSAW, n. c., March 10, '9+.
EDITOR CAUCASIAN:
It seems that the present adminis-
tra'iOn is sharing the same fate that
individual sinners are sure to meet
with. Their sins are finding them
ont. That they resorted to unlaw-
full ways and means, and to all the
worst tricks known to Forney Sim.
mons tactics and politics to count
themselves in is now pretty generally
admitted by all parties and a large
portion of the Democratic press.
The present congress, President and
Cabinet, are doing great deal worse
than their political opponents
predicted they would do. Tie Re
pubhcaus and Populists always gave
them credit for having common sense
capability and certain amount of
craftsmanship, aud the Republicans
being honest themselves thought
their Democratic friends were also
honest and capable, and in case
they did win, the country,
the people and the government
would be reasonably safe in their
hands, and that everything would
move on smoothly and we'll. No
wonder the people belisve this, for
there never was such fair promises
and pledges made in the annals OF
parties as the Democrats made in
1892, while pleading to the people
TO give them chance, just one
chance to right all the wrongs and
cure all the ills that they said
then afflicted the country. But ala,
what fearful conditions now confront
the country. One year passed and
gone and not single measure o. re,
lief passed by congress Yet, and The
! Democratic party absolutely in pow
er- But contrary to all expectation
they soon repudiated their own Chi
cago platform and turned their f

Successful Advertising.
The Secret OF Success Through the
Medium uf lie Newspaper.

The success of advertising depends
upon the advertiser. He must have
goods the people need and offer them
in an attractive way. He must have
the goods he advertises at the price
stated. A ''huke adj is poor III
vestment for any business man. Loss
OF confidence in business announce
ments means loss of trade.
All advertising does lot pay. There
must be Judgment used in making in
vestments IL advertising space as
Well as in the purchase OF any goods.
Advertising is NOT one-quality and
a one-priced article any more than
woollen goods, broadcloths, oranges
or meets. The medium for advertis-
iDg, the circulation and the number
O. readers must all be considered.
The newspapers of a place are al
ways better than "the occasional op-
purtuuity" for announcing bargains,
and always give better return. II
is far estimate TO count five read
ers for every paper, and the larger
the number Of papers issued tbs
more valuable the space. The money
paid in catch-penny schemes for 8
single issue Is frequent enough t
Pay for the same space in gooC
VT ekly paper for month.

An Augusta Man Knows Debs.

f. V. Debs, the leader of the great strike
now causing SO much trouble, was at one
time schoolmate of an Augusta man
in Terre Haute, Ind. This man
who is we'll known, but would
not consent to have his name pub
lished, was seen by a JOURNAL man yester-
day. He said Debs when at school was
slender youth and was not a general favor
it among the boys. Somehow he
seemed to have the faculty of pushing him
self forward and when young man he
manifested the traits of generalship.
He was fireman on railroad
leading into Terre Haute and when
in that position he was stirring up strife
and working against the road. From
this work he secured position
in large grocery store in Terra
Haute, and in a short time was in charge of
