THE PHILHARM0NICS.
A Large Attendance and some Good
Singing Last Evening.

The philharmonic Society" meet
last night, with some twenty mem
bers present.
President; T. E. Webber, was in
the chair, and Miss Lyons, the sec
retary, was at the desk
Mr.. Collins Gaines, the treasurer,
sent in his resignation, giving as
his excuse, business of his own pre-
Guiding him from paying that at
tentlon to the office it deserved, as
thc mem bership was large some
eighty and the fines and dues small
would cause much bookkeeping and
running around, which he could not
do it and attend to the business he
was then engaged in.
Several names were suggested,
and each one declined the honor.
President Webber, said we had
better nominate some member not
present and elect him. E. f. Kane
was the unfortunate absentee and
he was voted into the Office.
The bylaws, or rather constitu-
tion was changed in some respects,
and the meeting then went into
practice.
Some good singing was the out
come of the meeting.
The Philharmonic Society is an
organization of which all of Tex
arkana should be proud, and will be
when the association gives our peo-
pie some operate singing.

sensible argument: cone of the
great needs of Arkansas now is a
reform school tor young criminals.
Our young people are so liable to
make mistakes before they settle
in lite, hence the necessity of the
school, 1t is poor policy to ruin the
life, blight the hopes of our boys by
putting them with hardened GRIM

had 20 be coaxed into the public library:
even then ! have not always succeeded.
for somehow they felt IL was not the
fight place for them. and therefore
snrank from minEiing with the better
dressed people they saw entering II.
Again. there are others who seem to
shrink from everything that has an cir

fact that fate has shown them only the
