The Local Packet

We are at a loss to know why
some active and enterprjsiug man
does not take hold of the local
packet scheme. Ii is conceded up
on all hands, not only that it Is
greatly needed, but that it will
prove a paving investment 1t is
further granted that it is needed
as soon as it can possibly be pro-
cured. so as to handle this year s
cotton crop. 1t needs no agument
to demonstrate that it will add
greatly to our trade, traffic and
travel, and that it is directly IN the
interest of our merchants-both
iobbers and retailers.
In view Of these plain and incon-
trovertibIe facts, We are surprised
at any delay in establishing this
packet. Shreveport Judge.
This takes the cake. Shreveport

gable nearly the year round, and
not a packet in sight. Is it possi-
Bile the railroads have eruH the boats
out of Red river, so soon? We
thought here OF getting boats up
Sulphur river, but if Shreveport is
begging for a packet line, there is
no use for Texarkana to try any
longer to get water navigation.

KIRBY BEACH
A Successful Evening Of Splashing to
the Strains of Music

Last night Mr. Jodie Kirby
turned his natatOrium over TO the
Texarkaua Brass Band, for a bene-
fit, and the crowd out there, showed
that the people still held tender
spot for the boys, and would lend
them help, not only by patronizing
the entertainment, but by their
presence.
The band arrived early, and when
they struck up the first air, some
fifty OF seveuty-fve we're enjoying
splashing and swimmiugin the cool
iHg water.
Mr. Kirby mad only eighty suits
for rent, AID they we're all in use,
besides many parties furnished
their own suits, and the ladies, we
believe, furnished their costumes
there being many in the water last
night, and they seemed TO enjoy
the fun more than the opposite
sex.
There were some three or four
hundred present and at least half
of them were IN the water.
Mr.. Kirby kept a registerof those
in attendance, at least he tried to,
but so fast did they come and
scatter about the lake side, that it
was impossible to keep a correct
list Of those who we're there.
The reporter, when he came out
aud went into his stall to remove
the bathing suit, found a gentle
man ia there pulling on a wet suit
Just vacated by another bather,
who in turn said, he got into it
when it was shed from a gentleman
who had proceeded him, making
the third time this suit had done
service during the evening, and
instead of bringing in rent from
one it brought It from three.
So successful was the evenings
pleasure, that We hope Mr. Kirby
and the band will give our people
another evening of pleasure on the
same order.
