SPRING LAKE PARK.

The park had many visitors out to
it yesterday, but we do not believe
the crowd was equal TO the one
assembled there the Sunday pre-.
vious, when the Texarkana Band
gave a sacred concert. But those
who were out seemed to enjoy the
trip and promenades immensely.
We noticed several of our local
travelling statesmen out cutting their
eyes around to see what they could
see.
Messrs Sam Hitler and John Paup
of the Texas Produce Company,
were holding down a corner seat
near the lemonade stand, (this
house sells lemons) and they made
several remarks about the sickly
look the lemons had that was float
ing in the bucket.
Mason, of O'Dwyer & Ahern, was
out and he gave an exhibition of
high swinging. He said he thought
"Ferriss Wheel would be good
thing tor the park.
Otis McCorckle, known in bank
circles as the "little gold dollar,
held a crowd on the hill talking
about a night be had with lunatic.
1t made the reporetr's blood run
cold to hear it.
City Secretary Bob Burke was
promenading with Ben Hawkins,
killing time until she" arrived,
and when each car came up, they
would make for the platform to see
if she come, but were disappointed.
The loved one, had doubtless other
engagements.
Sam Levy came out with one of
his best mistits on to see his girl, but
she returned to the city on the car
Sam came on and there was much
trouble written on his face, when
he saw, he was left-''in the soup .
Squire Smither was seen on the
grounds, he had a young baby in
his arms, and from the way he
carried the tender little darling, we
guessed it to be a grand child in
stead of his own.
Mr.. A. B. Little, with his family
was out enjoying the breeze.
There were many elegantly dress
ed ladies and Misses promenading
and swinging, and many men and
boys grouped over the ground.
Mr.. Whitley has had well bored
and a pump placed in it, and the
water, while it now tasts of the
curblng, promises co be cool and
good, after the taste of the wood is
gone.
We do not see how our city has
gone so long without a resort of
this kind, and now that we have
one, we should lend our aid and
ability to make it popular, and
beautfy it, and help to keep it up
in some way.
Although a very busy man, DR.. R.
V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, has
found time in which to write great
book of over a thousand pages en-
titled, The Peoples Common Sense
Medical Adviser, in Plain English,
or Medicine Simplifed. Few books
printed in the English language
have reached so great sale as has
this popular work, over $50, 900 cop
les having been sold at $l,50 each.
The profits on this enormous sale
having repaid the author for the
great amount of labor and money
expended on its production, he has
now decided to give away, absolute
ly free, 100000 copies of this valua-
BILE book, the recipient only being
required to mail to the Worlds Dis
pensary Medical Association, of Buff
falo, n Y, OF which company he is
president, twenty-one (2D one cent
stamps, to cover cost of mailing
only, and the book will be sent post
paid. 1t is a veritable medical IL
brary, complete in one volume. 1t
contains 1908 large pages, and over
300 Illustrations, some of them in
colors. The free edition is precisely
the same as that sold at $l,50, eX-
cept only that the books are bound
in strong MANILA paper covers, in.
stead of cloth. 1t is not often that
our readers have an opportunity to
obtain valuable book on such gen
erous terms, and we predict that
few will miss availing themselves of
the unusual and liberal offer to
which we have called attention.
