Clifton has just placed in the dining
room a sideboard that is unique in this
city. Its intrinsic worth is great, but
its artistic value and! the stamp Of Its
workers give it a merit above dollars.
1t was designed and manufactured by
three girls. sisters and partners in the
only furniture manufacturing concern
in the world where every item Of work
is done by girls. On Laurel street,
in Louisville, is the shop Of the Swami
girls. In 1880 Miss Laura Swami made
q cedar chest with her w hands and
sold it for $50. Miss Josie, another
sister, tried her hand on q wardrobe,
which was sold for $40. The third
sister designed and executed a six
piece suit. which was quickly sold for
1915. The father then fitted up .
shop and the girls went to work. They

only the best trade. No stock Is CARR ID

DODDRIDGE.
A Rising Railroad City in
Sulphur Township.

The Texarkana & Shreveport
Railway is now running to Dod-
dr,dge, in Sulphur township, 28
miles south of Texarkana.
Already a depot has been con-
structed, and the town surveyed of
into business and residence lots and
there is not a particle of doubt as
to it becoming a commercial place
of considerable Importance. Sui
phur township raises from six to
eight thousand bales of cotton, we
are told, and nearly all of it will be
marketed at this new railroad town.
This, together with other products
of the soil, fine timber lands, etc,
will insure It's making a live town,
For some time to come Doddridge
will be the southern terminus of the
Texarkana & Shreveport railroad.
Town is well located, on a high,
sandy plateau, four miles east Of
Bright Star and three miles west of
Spring Bank; Kelly bayou, near by,
will receive the drainage and ofTal
of the place,
Work of opening out the streets
will begin at once, Opposite the
depot is "Fouke Place" a wide plat
of ground, upon which will front
the business houses, to be built at
first; then there are the following
avenues, running east and west
Collins, SIay, Bryant, and others,
Several merchants are arranging
to locate there right away, aud ere
another two weeks elapse, a half
dozen or more new store houses will
be in course of construction. One
or more saw mills are expected to
start up soon.
1t Is estimated that not less than
4, 600 bales Of cotton will be brought
to the new town this fall.
Now Is the time to get in ON the

The reporter had talk with a
prominent Irishman today, in re-

New York and Indianapolis, and he
takes a proper view of the situa-
tion. He says it is impossible for
Ireland to whip England with arms
and the only solution is in parlia-
ment as to whether Ireland shall
have home rule or not and that
those meetings held will only
go to aggravate England and will
put the home rule party at disad-
vantage when they are trying to
set Ireland free in peaceaDiu man
ner. We are satisfied he is right
in the matter and hope our Irish
people will see as he does and petit

up and let Gladstone work out their

for others to try.

of fifteen or twenty men making
similar excavations for the sewer

The Hebrews of our city we're
indignant today, when they read
the Morning Gazette's stab at
their race in placing a notorious
loose character, who has a slight
tinge of Jewish cast in her features
as a representative of the woman
hood of the Hebrews. The paper
is misleading inasmuch as it ap-
pears to place this character as
known in this city to all men sand
women, when in truth she is only
knewn as frequenter OF the police
courts and by only such men
as court an acquaintance of such
characters. The Jews as d nation
hold their virtue as sacred as any
nationality and we are sorry to see
that this woman is credited to
them in the connection she has
been made a part.
