AT SHERIDAN.
Sheridan's Municipal affairs-RiGht-
en0ur and Walter Nominated for
MayOr-ElectfOn Next Tuesday-The
Ticket of Leave Man.

SHERIDAN, May Especial Core
spondence. ]-At the town caucus which
was held last evening, DR.. G. w
Rightenour and Charles Walter were
the two nominees for mayor. The al
dermanic ticket placed in the field is
as follows:
First Ward-H. D. Rossiter, no opp
sition
Second Ward-T. A. Foster and
Than Shaffer.
Third Ward-E. D. Marsh and VIM.
Bergerman. The election occurs next
Tuesday and lively times are expected.
AwOman of the town, whose business
name is Clutch Rose,' attempted to
commit suicide by drowning last Sat-
urday night. Her intention was good
enough but Marshal CHASER came to
her rescue, arrested her, and put her
in jail, where she made another un-
successful attempt to climb the golden
stairs.
The "Ticket-of-Leave Man" as pro-
duced here last Saturday evening by
home talent was exceptionally good.
The cast is a strong one and the large
audience was very much pleased with
the performance. The company has
accepted an invitation to play in Vir-
ginia Friday evening.
There is being a subscription paper
circulated for the purpose Of raising
money to fence the cemetery at this
place, which is much ne eded for its
present condition would be a disgrace
to q backwood's town Of Arkansas.
Several efforts have been made to fence
it in years past but failed though con-
siderable has been subscribed for that
purpose. Mr.. Filing has kindly offer
cd to donate and deed to a legally con-
stituted authority, ten acres including
the old grounds or the south side of the
Thomas rancho just east of Geo. Cops
place and it is hoped the people will
take hold of the matter and complete
the work so much needed and so we'll
begun. Sheridan has never been be-
hind in matters Of public interest here
tofore except this, and why this is SO I
am unable to tell. Many are interest
ed directly and those who are not are
liable to be at any time, and why delay
a matter that will give us the salts
faction OF knowing that the mounds
raised over the graves of our sacred
dead will not be trampled down oy the
stock or rooted up by hogs. All the
people who are directly interested in
this matter will soon have an opportun-
ity to contribute to this very laudable
purpose and others who wish to can add
what they will.
c. Walter is stepping higher than a
blind horse now, cause-why a little
daughter vas ushered into existence at
his house last Sunday night.
Q. F. Parmeter's quartz mill was
brought from Dillon by Foster Bros. a
few days ago, and is now on the ground
and will be pounding away in a short
time. The mill will be situated at the
foot OF Quartz hill, if you feel the earth
shake up there You will know the
| cause.
Marshal Chaser has a large force of
able bodied men cleaning streets.
