came down town he was treated to
a novel sight. In front of Hardin
Brothers store, Democratic head
quarters for Bowie county, was
full brass band playing lively airs.
This band was playing to catch
colored crowd for a colored orator
who was advertised to dish out the
"hot stuff against the Populists.
While looking on this assemblage
of three or four hundred negroes,
the Salvation Army passed by with
another band playing some "halle-
lujah" air and singing at the same
time. Just a few yards away was
the Texarkana Band playing lively
airs for a goldbug speaking. The
novelty of the thing was 50
many bands playing so close to-
gether, all with a seperate aim.
Texarkana can always be counted
on to get up excitement if the times
only demand 1t.
