A BOOMING YOUNG CITY.

Not everybody knows that a
booming young city is coming tc
the front out forty miles north Of
Texarkana, on the Texarkana & Ft.
Smith railroad, but it is a fact nev.
erthleSS.
Winthrop is the name of this city,
and, in view of its fine location, at
the soon -to-be terminus of one rail,
road, and the principal inland town
on another, its fame is not surpris.
ing. The Texarkana & Fort Smith
road will soon be completed to it,
and a branch railroad will be built
out to Rocky Comfort. This will
give it two railroads.
Winthrop is located on a beauti-
ful, high plateau, midway between
the Red and Little rivers, with no
city of consequence nearer than
Texarkana, and being only six
miles from the Indian Territory,
may hope for big trade from this
fertile region.
A splendid opportunity is now
afforded investors, as well as per-
sons seeking desirable location for
for a new home, The following
persons have bought lots, within
the past few days: M, H, Bales
of Ohio, S. B. Andrews, NJ D. Til
son, W. L. Stout, A. L, Burk, W.
B. Weeks, ]. W, Gardner, J. H, Big

j.. w. Davis, j. A. Patching, Mary
j. Wright,-J. H. Cheatham, A. H,
Willingham, j, e. Smith and G.. W.
Dawson.
Now is the time to invest, as
choice business lots can be had for
$75 and best resident lots for $25.
Those who wish to buy before the
railroad reaches the town should
call on or address O. H, Pennock,
town site agent, Benefited Hotel,

''CAN man ever become intelli-
gent enough to be generous, to be
iust!' Col. Robt. Ingersoll asks
this question in a recent maga-
zine article, but even that broad
minded man and philosopher cannot
give a definite reply to his own
question. When man becomes in
tellieent enough to be generous to
his fellow man the dream of modern
socialistic writer's will be fulfilled.
Human nature would have to pass
through a wonderful evolution be-
fore it can overcome its inherent
selfshness. We arc now in an age
Of rapid intellectual development,
and in this development lies the
hope of the socialistic dreamer.
God creates all men alike. When
they enter the world all are on the
same intellectual plane, and if one
is elevated above the other it is on
" matter of circumstance. The
child of the hovcl may be elevated
to the highest plane of human in
telligence if circumstances are pro-
pitious. Therefore, the first point
to be attained to reach the millcn-
MUM of a universal socialism, is an
equable intellectual standard. To
this point VIC believe the world is
rapidly advancing, and eventually
man may even become intelligent
enough to be generous.

the killing of Hilderrband two are
