THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The Presidents message to Con-
gress is out, and will bear no criti-
cism of an adverse nature. 1t is a
manly straightforward document,
and while we differ from him on
some subjects OF governmental prin-
ciples, we can but feel proud of our
high executive for the ability he
possesses in placing before thepeo-
plesuch able documents on all SUBJ
iects. In the Cuban matter he has
handled the subject in a mastery
manner. Every true American
owes it to himself to procure copy
Of the message and read it care

CLEAN CHRISTMAS FRUIT CAKE

Customers do not get the small
est portion of their peck of dirt in
our Christmas Cake. 1t is as clean
as it is possible to make it, and it is
just as good as it is clean, only the
very best material being used in its
manufacture. All fruit is washed
by our own process, Particular
care is given to the baking. The
choicest butter is used in making
Christmas Cake, just as it is in our
pastry. Orders have already been
received from many of the best
families in TeXarkana Many of
them have made their own Christ
mas Cake heretofore but a sample
has convinced them that baking, as
we do, hundreds of pounds we can
bake better cake than they can,
and sell it to them for less money
than they can possibly make it for.
1t sells at 25 cents per pound and is
iced with almond icing,

Successful Operation.

A telegram stating that Fred
Whistler had survived an operation at
St. Joseph's hospital. Chicago, for
the injury in his forehead, sustained
few months ago, was received by
Charles Spencer yesterday afternoon.
This will likewise be CRAFTY ing news
to the young mans host of acqusint-
ances IN this locality, who have been
anxious about his condition since the
serious accident which nearly re.
suited in his death. The blow which
Fred received shattered the skull so
badly that several pieces of bone had
to be removed. leaving a portion Of
the brain protected only by the skin.
1t was the intention to close the Ii s.
sure with plate, but this was found
impossible by DR.. Sem, who, after
consultation with eight other special
lists. performed the operation yes
terday. Instead Of the use of the
plate the physicians decided to sever
the two sections of which the skull
is composed aud press one of them
down so that it would close the gap.
Capt. Whistler accompanied his son
to Chicago.
