Haverly's Minstrels.

There is an old saying that
Nothing is certain in this world"
however, in the face Of that, it is
almost safe to state that Col. j. H,
Haverly's Original Mastodon Min
strels are certain to command the
attention of the amusement patrons
of this city next Saturday night,
January II, when they will present
their grand entertainment at the
opera house. The "Mastodons"
have travelled this wide world
over" and have won golden opin-
ions from all sorts of people. From
Orient to Occident the "Masto-
dons' are well and favorably known,
and each visit is hailed with delight,
This season they will 'do themselves
proud and present a program that
will excel any they have yet given,
Among the bright, particular stars
may be mentioned Billy Rice, Burt
Shepard, Charles Ernest, E. NJ,
Kayne, Dave Montgomery, Albert
George Castle, Burt
Norriss, W. II, Holbrook and over
thirty others,

Texarkana Charitable Association,

The executive committee, com
posed of ladies, and the President
and Secretary, NJ. c. Thompson and
L, F. Eek, met yesterday at the
West side hall President M. G.
Thompson stated that the object
was to appoint soliciting commit
tee to visit the business men of the
city and see how much they would
subscribe for a permanent fund to
be used on the poor and needy of
this city. The following named la
dies we're selected for this work:
Mrs. w. G. Spearman, Miss R.
Lampkin, Mrs. Geo. W. Fouke, Mrs.
Robert Bruce, Mrs. Taylor, Mrs.
Ed. Robbins, Mrs, Elliott, and Mrs.
Merriam Pitcher None of these la
dies were present, and the Secreta-
ry was instructed to notify them by
postal card as to their appoint
ment, and requesting them to act.
Mr., Oscar Madden, the gentleman
who has so kindly waited on the
young man Mckenzie, and of which
we have mentioned before, was up
there and told the committee what
he had done for the young man,
and that he thought his services
should be paid for by the charita-
bly, disposed people of the city. He
thinks he has earned and is entitled
to $4,000 The Hill House, where
the young man was first taken, also
a bill of $1,000, and our butchers
and bakers have credited out meat
and bread for this young man. Dr.
Wisdom has waited on the young
man attentively, and he has made
no charges, though he has assumed
the debt for the room rent at the
Hill House. The Association will
have their hands full of such cases,
and will need the money to pay off
such debts, and twenty-five cent
contribution will not begin to help
them carry on their charity work.
If we are going to keep up an or
ganization of this kind, we should
go about it in a liberal way and
keep it up, or let us make no fuss
about the matter, and let it die,
ana let the pauper poor get along
as best they can,

The occupants of the parsonage
of State Line Methodist Church,

bountilul pounding last evening, tor

bringing in hand or in sack, o.
basket, eatables of almost every
variety, and they continued to come
until the house was full of people,

made looked like a grocery store.
There were old folks, young folks
children, all happy themselves, and
intent upon making Others happy,
After an hour spent in sociability,
the pastor read the 4th chapter of
Philippians and offered prayer, and
the company dispersed leaving the

Married Her First Love.

SHELBYvILLE, KY, January GA
under rather sensational
circumstances occurred here Satur-
day afternoon between Mr., Peter
S. Chinn and Miss Amelia Petry,
both we'll known and prominent,
the bride being a daughter of the
late Capt. George Petry. The young
people had been lovers since child
hood, although the young lady's
mother was bitterly opposed to Mr..
Chinn and forbade him in the house.
This happened over two years ago,
since which time the young people
held no communication whatever
with each other, and as Mr.. Chinn
has been absent from the place for
over a year the mother congratula-
ted herself on having broken off the
attachment. The young lady re-
ceived the attentions of others,
and was engaged to be married
Wednesday to Mr.. L. E. Rowe,
manager of the Southwestern Lum-
bur Company, of Texarkana, Ark,
and who would have arrived here
today. An elaborate trousseau had
been procured and all arrange
ments made for a swell wedding.
Mr.. Chinn arrived here last week,
when he was made acquainted with
the approaching marriage. He told
several of his most intimate friends
that it would never come off. That
he reckoned wisely is attested by
the fact that he secretly procured
a license and Miss Petry and he
were welded, the ceremony being
performed by the Rev. Hugh
Mcclellan, of the Christian Church,

Henry Ward B.echer once receiv-
ed a letter from a lad asking him to
find him an "easy place" This was
his reply "You can not be an ed
itor; do not try law; do not think of
the ministry; let alone all ships,
shops and merchandise; abhor poll
tics; do not practice medicine; be
hot a farmer nor a mechanic, nei-
ther be soldier nor a sailor. Don't
work, don't study, don't think; none
of these are easy, Q, my son, you
have come into hard world,
know of only one easy place in it,
and that is in the grave.

Gen. John B. Gordon, in a late
speech in Chicago, used the follow
ing patriotic language: I'm the
face of the contingency which is
just in front of us; in view of our
melancholy complications with the
British nation, the question is in or
der, will this republic produce such
leaders for coming events as the
North and South gloried in and
such heroes as were behind them7
l answer, yes. Whatever may be
the measureless calamity of war
with England, if the honor and
safety of the republic requires it, !
speak of the Southland when ! say
that with all their sutferings under
conditions of war, they will he
found with absolute unanimity and
unbounded enthusiasm, saying that
argument is exhausted, we'll stand
by our arms"

Subsequent events prove it to
have been. a very clever advertising
transaction, for although they gave
away thousands of bottles, it was
in the end profitable; nearly every
one that took free bottle came
back tor more and paid for it with
pleasure, saying they had derived
better results from its use than
from any other medicine they had

GREENVE WASHINGTON COUNTY, MISS SATURDAY
sYNoDlcAL LAWS
Meet with Opposition By Interested Par.
ties IA st. Louis.

ST. LoUIs. Sept. l0-Among the laws
promulgated by the synod Of the st.
Louis Catholic archdiocese held in
this city this week was one prohibit.
ing Catholic singers becoming mem
bers Of the ehoirs Of churches Of other
denominations.
The enactment OF this law has
caused general surprise and comment
in local church choir circles, as for
many years past some of the
best voices In the choirs OF Pro-
testant churches have been recruited
from Catholic ranks. Heretofore
there has been no open opposition to
this, and it was not suspected for a
moment that the matter would be
made a question Of church discipline,
but the rigid law enacted by the
priests in synod assembled put new
light on the subject Those most di-
reetly interested say that il is mat
ter of business with them, and por'
tion Of their incomes is derived from
the exercise of their vocal talents, and
they have no intention of surrender
ing ii.
The law prohibiting the sending o.
Catholic children to other than paro
chial or other Catholic schools ha'
also aroused large amount of op
position among the more liberal o
the Catholic faith.

THE COTTON CROP.
A General Decline In Condition Reported
From the Cotton belt.

WAsnINeToS. Sept l0-The cotton
report of the department of agriculture
for September shows u decline from
the August condition Of the crop which
was SOL to 642 per cent, decline of
l59 points. This is the lowest Septem-
Der condition reported in the last q
years The state averages are as fol-
lows:
Virginia, 10; North Carolina, 20;
South Carolina, 70; Georgia, n; Florida,
u; Alabama, So; Mississippi, 6li Louis
lana, 90; Texas, 81; Arkansas, 60; Ten
nessee, 81; Missouri, 81; Indian terri
tory, 60; Oklahoma, IS.
There has been general decline in
the condition Of the cotton crop
throughout the cotton belt in the past
month. A fcw counties and parishes
in Mississippi and Louisiana report
fairly good crops, but the complaint Is
almost universal that the excessive
heat and dry weather have caused the
plant to shed leaves, blooms and bolls,
and that where rains have fallen they
have come too late to be OF material
benefit. The plant has consequently
matured prematurely.

ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION.
successful Opening of the Thirteenth An
nual Season.

Sr. LOUIS, Sept. l0.-Laughing at
superstition, the management OF the
St. Louis exposition opened the thir-
teenth annual season OF that admira-
BILE institution with 10 directors on the
stage Wednesday night.
1t must be that there Is some kindly
fate which renders the exposition SUI
perior to the shafts of ill-luck or adj
yersity, because, despite this preva-
Ience of the number 10, the attendance
at the opening night was the big
pest ever known on an opening night,
the exhibits were in more complete
order than ever before, the enthusiasm
was greater, and, all together. the
most satisfactory success in the history
of the exposition was scored.
The musical programme was rem
lered by Gilmore's band, under the di'
rection of Victor Herbert, and q
feature of the exercises was the pre-
sentation of a life.size memorial pic
ture of Patrick Sarsfeld Gilmore, done
in cathedral glass by Mr. Charles
| Balmer.
