train with visitors. Small pox, ac-
cording to all the physicians, could
not exist here. Whoever started
such an unfounded and foolish ru-
NOR did it out of pure "cussed-
ness"
The above special, which appears
in yesterdays Gazette, would indi-
cate that Texarkana is not the only
sufferer from false, unfounded iniur
ious reports, concerning the prev
alence of small pox as a local dis
ease. 1t makes little difference
whether or not these reports are
the result Of personal malace on the
part of those responsible therefor,
or simply the offspring of ignorance
and reckless disregard of the rights
and interests of other people. The
injury is just as great in one case
as in the other, aud some means
should be devised for putting
check upon these unbridled tongues.
To just such false reports, and silly
rumors, is due the injurious quar-
antine Gordon which now surrounds
our city.

BRIGHT STAR TwINKLINGs.

BRIGHT STAR, ARK, May 8, 1894.
Editor TEXARKANIAN:
Among other things that we of
Sulphur are glad of is that small
pox is abating in Texarkana and
that our township convention is a
thing of the past. From what we
observed of some Of your citizens
here on last Saturday we were led
to believe that there is some mis-
take about small pox being in Tex
arkana, as they showed evident
signs of hydrophobia Bright Star
has been noted for it's Hberality in
most things, but we have decided
our safety lies in a rigid quarantine
against the CANDIDATES, unless there
is an abatement of your present
troubles up there, be it small pox
or rabies.
Inc action OF our convention is
known ere this, | suppose, all over
the county, and in the main was a
strictly straightforward declaration
for the Democratic land marks to
remain in tact. We all regret the
alteration between two of the
candidates, and it occurs to my
mind that much might be said with
propriety of the causes back of,
and which led up to, the difficulty.
This, however, is not the time or
place.
Farmers want and need a respite.
Crops are looking well but need
work, and our inimitable Jim Pat
ters voiced the sentiment of many
no doubt last Saturday, when he
proposed Gree trade and sailors
rights and the final perseverance of
the saints" as a new motto for the
Sulphur Democracy.

less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to

the value to health of the pure liquid

Its excellence is due to its presenting

beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers

Syrup Of Figs is for sale by all drug
