Winter & SChOtt,
GALLAGHER'S OLD STAND.


added further lustre to his crown
by the manner in which he has won
his bride. For several years he
has courted Ida Ricb but he has
been bitterly opposed by the girls
parents, 1t was very natural,
therefore, that the young people,
whose love was mutual should
elope. This they did Thursday.
They returned to beg forgiveness,
but the brides father locked her
in the cellar and drove his son-in-
law from the premises with a shot
gun. All that night the BRIDE
groom sat awake, bordering over a
plan of rescue When the NOR
ing dawned he sent his mother-in-
law word to come and get her
daughters effects, as he was ready
to relinquish all claims. When the
old lady came she found herself en-
trapped in her own net. Marvin
locked her in the house and refused
10 let her return, She was held as
a hostage until Saturday night,
when old man Rich appeared on the
scene wieh flag of truce, Prison
ers of war were exchanged and
Marvin and his bride are once more
reunited. The girls ma is also said
to have been so favorably impressed
with her son-in-Iaw during her de-
tention at his home that she is anx-
ious to kiss and make up, and the
old gentleman will doubtless soon
be persuaded to go and do likewise.

KNOWLEDGE

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet.
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products 10
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; eifectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in so cent bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,

LET HISTORY BE TRUE

In an address before the Exon
federate Benevolent association 10
st, Louis, recently, the Rev. DR.. r.
G. Cave, among others things, said;
"We are willing to let the war die
as political issue, but as a truth
of history we can never afford to
bury it. We owe it to our children
that the truths of history shall be
handed down to them. This is the
obligation that / felt when I spoke
in Richmond, Va, last May, and
the same obligation which rests ny
on all. Let US be faithful in spite
of the efforts to bride us to silence
"To the Northern man who seeks
to Brighten us into silence there
can be but one answer. Whatever
rights the Southern people surren
dered at Appomattox, they nevO
surrendered tue right to speak The
truth and to preserve the mono
and memory of the gallant South
ern dead.
"To the Southern man who thinks
it inexpedient to speak of these
things now, and there are some
such, am sorry to admit, | would
say, we are dlvinely called TO stand
guard over these Issues until The
truth is fully known, and the mar
who holds his peace and lets his
father, brothers, his kin be brand
ed as traitors, in order that he may
gain by that silence, is worthy {,
stand side by side with Judas Iscat
lot.

ANOTHER ROAD FOR TEXARKANA
The Illinois Central to Build From
Natchez, Miss, to this City.

Texarkana already has six differ
ent railroads, and as a railway CEN
ter is known far and wide, yet it
now looks as if she is to get the sew
enth, and through one of the great
est railway systems in this country.
Here is the press dispatch with ref
erence to it, verbatim:
New ORLEANS, Oct. ia special
to the Times-Democrat from Alex
andria, La, says: ''The Times
Democrat correspondent has learn
ed from an interview with a relia-
bic and prominent gentleman that
a move is on foot by which the Hi
nois Central people are to build a
railroad from Natchez via the
White Sulphur Springs, Colfax, st,
Maurice, Shreveport and to Texar-
kama Shreveport is to give 5000,
600 in bonds He met the Illinois
people in Texarkana last Thursday
to perfect arrangements and came
to an understanding. They will
buy out the Natchez, Red River &
Texas railroad now running from
Vidalia to Black river. This road
for fifty miles from its starting
point will traverse one of the rich
est alluvial countries of Louisiana,
when it will strike the pine hills Of
Catahoulo and continue through
one of the most magnificent belts
of long leaf pine in the South. From
Colfax on the country is also wei,
timbered, The building of the road
is now regarded as a certainty"

An Ample Fund Of Pleasure and

one gets ones "sea legs on, as the
sailor says, the abominable qualms,

the robust from this ailment, but
few sea travellers escape it. Against
the frightful nausea it produces,

CONCLUSIONS.

New for conclusions: Having invested our
money and given our entire time to the upbuild-
ing OF such paper, and constantly laboring for
the best interests of Texarkana, can we not rea-
sonably ask for an increased public patronage!
That MANY who should do so, do not advertise

fact. Now, try us and see if you wont get ''val-

AN EUROPEAN BRIDE WANTED
The Crown Prince of Japan Said to B.
Seeking a Caucasian Alliance.

LONDON, October 15.-The Grown
Prince of Japan is a candidate for
the hand of an European Princess
is the latest rumor in circulation
here. The Japanese Ambassadors,
it is said have received instructions
to found European Princes witt
manageable daughters, or rathei
with daughters growing to mar
riageable age, for the Crown Prince
is only II and his father does not in
tend that he shall marry until he
becomes twenty. fla princess OF
royal blood cannot be found willinl
to share the chrysanthemum throne
a woman of lower rank will b.
chosen. The daughter of an En-
glish Duke or of a French Marquis
or of an American millionaire can
all be regarded as in the list of pos
sibilities.
1t is said, however, that shortly
before his death the late Comte dc
Paris was asked his opinion on the
subject. 1t does not seem at all UNI
likely that a sister of the Duke OF
Orleans might be willing to accept
the hand of the heir of Mikado.
There are two young members of
the ex-royal house of France who
are near the age of the Japanese
heir appareut-Princess Marie lisa
belle, 16, and Princess Louise, IL.
A legend says that the dethroned
royal house of France will only re-
gain its past glories through the
women of its family.
The eldest daughter is already
Queen of Portugal, and the second
daughter, Princess Helena, is to
marry the heir to the throne OF
Austria. With a third daughter
sharing the throne Japan, a few
years might show three grandsons
of the prince who has just been
buried welding scepters.
The son of the Mikado is nance
Harou, which means "springtime,
He is the only boy of the imperial
family, in which there is only one
other child, a princess of six years,
He is well built, sturdy lad of II
years, speaks French, German ant
English, and his education has beer
entirely modelled on that of Rmper
or Williams children. He has Of
course been carefully nurtured II
the traditions of his own land, but
otherwise it has been daily ano
hourly impressed upon him that the
future of his inheritance is the con
tinuance of his fathers reforms.
The only trouble, perhaps, that an
European consort to the Mikado's
heir might find, would be the fact
that she would be forced to bring
up her children in the faith of Bud
dha, although there might be no in
reference in her own religious be
liefs. Still, an English woman mar
ried the semi-royal sheriff of Moroc
co under similar conditions, and she
is loved fervently by her two sons,
despite the fact that they have
both been reared as deyout NOLAN
medans.

out on the Tennessee side with the

MY father was John W. Crock
EFT, the Oldest son of Davy Crockett.
He had a peculiar experience in
New Orleans one time. An artist
there had painted an immense por-
trait of my grandfather. 1t was q

three bear dogs in the background

father stood in the gallery before
the picture, gazing at it steadfast
ly, and when he told me it was my
grandfather | was enraptured.
wanted to get me double barreled
rifle and start out hunting Indians.
Just then a gentleman came in with
some children and gave most elab-
crate description of the subject Of
the picture. Of course, we stood
by and listened. The gentleman
noticed that we had no catalogue
and said to my father That is
Oavy Crockett of Tennessee. Yes,
answered my father, he was my
father.
Don't trifle with me, sir, said
the gentleman.
" 4 am not, calmly answered my
father.
" Then you are John W. Crock
ett.'
From that hour friendship
sprung up between the two men
chat was lifelong.
"The artist asked $4,000 for thai
picture, and it was purchased b.
the state of Texas to hang in the
old Capitol, after my father had
assured them that it was a good
likeness of his father. 1t was burn
ed when the capitol was burned.
"We afterward presented a por-
trait painted in Washington b,
Rembrandt Peal of Washington"

Col. Crockett tells an amusing
story of a visit to Cincinnati to buy
stock while on the Avalanche. He
called on Murat Halstead and
handed him his card. Mr.. Ha

At this Mr.. Halstead laughed i'm
