The Texarkana Rifles, a company
that has long been in the service Of
the great State of Texas, and
which has had its ups and downs as
an organization, pulled itself to-
gether to be on hand to participate
in the Labor Day demonstrations,
aud while drilling for this occasion,
conceived the idea Of getting up a
regular military ball for Labor Day
night, but afterward changed the
date to read the 4th.
Three hundred and seventy five
invitations we're issued, many being
sent TO ladies out of this city, and
many responded by their presence
at the ball.
The large new Miller county
court house was secured for the
occasion and the benches and chairs
were taken from the body of the
large court room and arranged
around the same, making seating
capacity for all who lent their pres
ence there.
The room was festooned with the
companys coIorS, pink and white,
and a large U, S, flag 6oated from
the centre Of the ceiling.
The room was converted into a
tapersted parlor by the drapers art
and formed picture Of pleasing
beauty.
The soldiers had stacked guns on
each side OF the entrance with flags
displayed which showed that they
were loyal to cold Glory" though
they were mostly southern raised
boys and have either been told, or
read, Of the late unpleasantness be.

the one that went down in defeat,
