He is Satisfied.

About year ago Mr.. P. Angel came
here from Milwaukee. He was a victim
to consumption and in the shadow Of
death but he came here on the hope of
recovery. His hope was not vain for he
has gained in flesh and weight and bis
voice is far more stronger. But that lis
not all. To his great Joy his wife pre-
sented him with fine nine pound girl
yesterday and he has now no words too
extravagant to apply to San Antonio's

We feel confident our citizens will
rally to our aid, as our undertaking
is laudable one, and we are salts
fed our past services and deep in
terest in having our company sec
ond to none in the state will prompt
all interested in the safety of our
city to encourage us by helping us
to purchase uniforms. 1t is now
the most successful company ever
organized here, and with a little
encouragement by our citizens we
will yet make it pride to our city.
We ask no pay for our fights, in
rain and snow, or loss of health
from exposure, only we claim the
right to ask our citizens to contrib
ute a little mite to encourage us
where our ambition and deep inter
est will carry us-that is a reputa.
ton as standing at the head of the
state, as a fire company.
You will see that we are all poor
young men, not one of us worth a
half hundred, yet we are willing
and ready to risk life, health, and
ware and tear of our scanty ward
robe, if the citizens who are able
and worth their thousands are will

TEXARKANA 6 FORT SMITH.

That the work of extension on
the Texarkana & Fort Smith rail
way is not being permitted to lay,
is evidenced by the following infor-
nation on that subject, contained
! in special correspondence from VIII
ton, Ark, to yesterdays Gazette:
The work of grading on the Tex
arkana and Fort Smith Railway is
steadily progressing and will be
completed to Morris Ferry, on Lit
tie River, in about three weeks.
Track laying will be resumed in a
short time. The Railway company
have lust located and finished lay
ing off the new town of Winthrop,
Ark, on the line of the road, forty
miles distant from Texarkana and
about nine miles north of Rocky
Comfort. The town site is a desir-
able one, being situated on sandy
soil, with an abundance of gravel
near by, thus securing good streets,
pure free-stone water, and numer-
Gus springs will supply an abund-
ance of water. Several staunch
merchants in this section are buy
| ing lots and will locate there, and
indeed from the numerous inquir-
les being made for lots it would indi-
cate that the real estate business
will be lively there for a while. A
fine opening is presented there for
a good hotel and livery stable. A
good hardware and furniture store
would do an immense business and
the close proximity to the Indian
Territory makes it an admirable
location for general merchandise
aud buying hides, furs, etc. Your
correspondent has no lots to sell
and no ''axe to grind, " but would be
glad to see good citizens locate in
this rapidly developing section.

RAILROAD ASSESSMENT.

The State Board of Railroad Com

arrived at no conclusion as to their
plan of procedure.
Gov Fishback and Auditor Mills
seemed disposed to change the
method of assessment by assessing
a system as a whole, and then APP
portioning the assessment among
the various branches. The result
in the end will be the same so far
rs the railroads are concerned, if
the assessment is not raised. Dep
uty Secretary of State Jett says
that he thinks after maturer delib-
Grafton, that the board will levy the
assessment as heretofore.

A man. fond of hard problems,
has started in to investigate the
cause, not the effect, of the present
hard times. After having dived
pretty deep into the vexed subject,
he submits the following as results
of his investigation;
George Gould says it is because
of hostility to corporation. The
farmer says it is the low price of
wheat The silver men say it is the
action of Wall street. Wall street
says it is the action of the silver
men. The manufacturer says it is
the fear of trade. The consumer
says it is the tariff. The capitalists
say it is is the exorbitant demands
of labor. The debtor says it is the
creditor The creditor says it is the
debtor. The republican says it is
the democrat. The democrat says
it is the republican. The populist
says it is both. The prohibitionist
rsays it is whisky. The preacher
says it is the devil. Now what do
you think it is?
