Too Much Of q Good Thing.

In speaking with a gentleman
Yesterday about competitor in some
lines of business, he disapproyed
in part. He said a town OF this
size would support one good paper
no more, would give patronage
to one ice factory, one street car
company, one furniture factory
and telephone line, and so on. de
recited this illustration as coming
under his knowledge. See com
ment of paper:
A few months ago an energetic
lot of men, anxious to double their
capital and at the same time afford
the people or Clarksville, Tenn,
cheap telephone service, formed a
company and started opposition to
the telephone company then occu
pying the field. They had no diff
Guilty IN securing quite a number OF
subscribers because the rates they
offered we're much less than those
charged by the old company A
few days ago the projectors OF this
enterprise issued a circular, ad-
dressing it to the public"
"The Clarksville Telephone Com
pauy hereby announces its retire
ment from business. We find, at
ter three months trial, that it is
not practicable for two telephone
companies to succeed in the same
city, and with two companies the
public is not benefited. On the
contrary it tends to confusion and
dissatisfaction. We find, also, that
the expense of conducting the bus
mess was more than we anticipat-
ed.
Experience is always an expen'
slve teacher but seems the only one
that can burn its lesson into the
pocketbook and brain both. Gin

Pursued by a Demon.

How many suicides, think yoN,
reader. have been committed by
persons driven distraught and
hunted to their doom by the demon
of chronic i'll health? Countless. For
instance, we know, do we not, that
hypochondriasis is a monomania-a
sort of minor madness produced by
chronic dyspepsia? Again, insomnia,
or sleeplessness, often a result OF
the same cause, eliminates in a
arrangement of the reasoning
faculties. 1t is, therefore, OF
momentous consequence to prevent
the arrival of disease at its chronic
phase, when it daily and nightly
scourges the sufferer to a danger
ously uncertain goal. No medicine
known to science, as means OF
arresting the maladies to which it is
adapted, exists equal to Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. Among these
complaints are chronic indigestion
and insomnia, kidney and rheumatic
ailments, constipation and liver
trouble. Appetite is improved by
the Bitters, the blood tertilized,
and bodily substance and vigor IN
creased by it.

The Daily Texarkanian., 1896-01-10

If England should dare to touch
one blade of grass on Venezuelan
soil until Uncle Sam gives permis-
sion, there should be a shaking up
OF the old accounts we have against
that country, and while we are col
lecting the debt for Venezuela,
make her pay for the smart talk
she has INDUCED in heretofore.
The Daily Texarkanian., 1896-01-10

England laughed at the United
States when our chief of police,
Cleveland, told her to keep of of
the grass in Venezuela, but We no.
tice that the wise men Of that coun-
try are doing their best to build
bridges over the patch to conform
to Cleveland's demand.

Wood Paving.

In connection with the recent large or
ders for wood paving blocks received by
Puget sound mills for the streets of East
ern cities, 1t is interesting TO note that
wood paving Is growing in favor.
The association for the preservation OF
Fifth avenue. New York. has not enta.-
tained the idea of using brick in connee-
ton with asphalt, granite. macadam and
wood. In London, England. wood is the
favorite. as shown in the opinions taken
OF drivers OF vehicles as follows: For
asphalt. 81. for granite. 1871: for macadam,
ala; for wood. 80. David Mil!iken, jr.
OF New York. is quoted In the Evening
Post as saying; There Is some prejudice
here against wood. but It only exists
where there Is lack Of knowledge. Laid
as Il is now. IL is an artificial stone pave
ment with "A wood covering. which may
be very easily renewed at little expense
It's average life In London. with repair
ing IS about ten years. and there Is no
difference IN climatic effect here. II IS
said by some to be unhealthy. This Is
an unnecessary error. for she engineer
OF sewers OF London says that, although
some streets there have been paved with
wood for thirty years. no complaint mas
been made on that head. and recently a
French bacteriologist gave data which
also discroves this idea. II IS IN general
use In London and Paris. There isn't an
objection 10 IL that Is based on knowledge
and +. is indorsei by the city officials
who are selected with A view TO their
knowledge OF pavcgnents"
