The appointment of Mr..

Atwater is another of the species

The above gentleman, one of the
representative business men of
Toyah, Texas, and widely celebra-
ted in his part of the state as a
crack pigeon shot, is now in the
city and will spend a few months
here with the view of benefitting
his health and possibly of locating
here.
He would like to enter into a
pigeon match with any one of our
local cracks at from so to 100 live
birds per man, and is willing to
wager $4,000 against $4,000 on the
result. The Captain, on last
Thanksgiving's day, defeated one
of the finest shots of Arkansas, the
match being at 20 birds per man,
500 a side. The Captain made the
magnificent score of %, which he
says he thinks is the best ever done
in match shoot in this state, the
quality of birds considered.

School Book Stealers.

Many complaints are made of
the scholars at our public schools
missing school books. Neither the
superintendent, principals or
teachers are responsible for this,
for they are careful and vigilant,
but there is no means of securing
the books in their absence, and as
such books are readily sold to, and
exchanged by some dealers such
appropriations are easily disposed
of.
