The Fourth at the Fair Grounds.

Last Saturday, the directors of the
Fair Association had a long and har.
monious meeting, making arrange,
ments for a proper celebration of the
Fourth at the Fair grounds.
There will be quite a number OF
speed rings by celebrated racers: also
for local These races are
always interesting to the lover of the
horse, who crowd the grounds to see
their favorites fly.
Then, the valuable gold medaloffer-
ed for the swiftest bicycle rider will
draw the clubs in force from the towns

This bids to be embarrassing. The

six exciting races. Then the six fast

for the gold medal.
The gun clubs will be out in force

The body of an unknown white man
was caught floating in the river to-day
by Clifford Shrodes and a colored
boy, and towed ashore just above the
incline. Coroner A. d. Blomeyer was
notified and he had a jury summoned
to hold an inquest over the body. The
body was in an advanced state of de-
composition. nothing found by which
it could be identified. Deceased was
apparently b or 10 years old. about
) feet 6 inches high, black hair, and
would weigh about 40 lbs. Had
on striped pants. blue work
ing jacket and shoes. The
verdict was to the effect that deceased
came to his death from causes I'M
known to the jury. There were some
cuts or wounds on the back and head,
hut the body was so d~ecOmposed it
was impossible to determine whether
they were made before or after death.

Let Us Have Cheaper Rates.

We now have a fine systemof water
works. The danger from fire is moth
ing like it was before the water works
plant was put in. We were promised
lower insurance rates after the water
works were completed. but as yet no
steps have been taken to reduce the
rates. We believe we have a local
Board of Underwriters and this Board
we understand. has the power and
authority to regulate the rates of in
surance in this city. Why is it
that this Board does not call a meet
ing to take some action towards re-
ducing the rates of insurance? Our
people expect a lower rate and they
are certainly entitled to it. Let the
members of the Board get together
and do something in this matter at
once.

EDITOR DEMOCRAT
Last week | saw in your valuable
paper Il communication signed Tax
Payer" advocating the issuance of
two ferry licenses by your City COun-
Gil. and the idea at once struck me
that if your Council granted license to
two of your own citizens would it not
also grant license to one or two ferry
boats from this side. since your peO-
pie cannot do a ferry business here
without a license from our court.
Now. Mr.. Editor. this is all foolish
ness. This idea of two or more ferry
boats. One good boat a do all the
business that is to be done if it is
properly regulated. We want Il new
boat and a good one. fOr we are the
people that have to use it TO get to
your city. and VT want one that don't
have to lay up just because OF = little
wind as the one now pretending TO DO
a ferry business has frequently mad 20
do.
Do your people know how much
trade has been diverted from your
city and sent elsewhere by the uncer-
tain way in which the present boat
has made its trips? If not. let them
come across here and they will find
out, and l risk nothing in saying that
this clamor for another boat will stop
at once.
No. sir, your Council did
very wisely in giving your ferry fran
chise to a new set of men, and they
will act o wisely if they will see
that they make regular trips, accord
ing to their agreement, and for reas-
enable rates which they agree to do.
They laye been the only men propos-
ing to cut rates for the benefit OF us
people.
Inasmuch as your correspondent
did not give his true name I will con-
tent myself by signing,

There is no danger from this disease
when Chamberlain Cough Remedy IS

mucus and aids its expectoration. It
also lessons the severity and frequency
of paroxysms of coughing, and insures
a speedy recovery. There is not the
least danger in giving the remedy to
children or babies, as it contains no
injurious substance. For sale by l.

FLOGGED HIM.
a Negro Given q SeourRIna at PauIs Val

Town. HeInssIted some Ladies.

While some ladies were taking a
stroll last Sunday afternoon, a negro
drove along in carriage with three
women OF his own color, and because
the ladies did not get out of the way
quick enough to suit him. he drove
his team upon them and narrowly
missed seriously iniuring the wife OF
one of our citizens. Later in the
evening n number OF indignant men
took the black to the outskirts and
gave him a well deserved logging.
One OF the negro women was captur-
ed with him but she was not molest-
ed. He and the women and several
others OF the same class were given
notice to leave town, and they did
so Monday. Sunday night a number
Of shots were fired in and about the
building occupied by the negroes, to
remind them that they were not to
forget to vacate the premises. There
are some people this community
can spare, and these negroes were Of
that order. There was a rumor that
an attempt would be made to drive
all the negroes out; but we have
large quota of true southrons in our
midst, and who know the darkies as
n race, more thoroughly than any
other people, and they are too fair
fair minded to endorse so extreme a
measure.-Pauls Valley Enterprise.
