The Daily Texarkanian., 1896-02-07

The weather has taken another
cold turn. The Black Flag is out
and 4 Tornado is headed for this
city. 1t will arrive here at $50 to-
morrow night aud the people are
rushing to get tickets to see it-at
Ghio's opera house.
The West side has received au-
thority to issue $4,000 worth of
bonds, to be used in sewering the
city. The council on the West side
is game. All they want to improve
the city is money at hand, and
they will do the rest.
What do you think of Broad ST.,
now2 Does it, or does it not, need
paving. We have two city coun-
clls, composed of breathing, think
ing men. Think you these men
have ever given the paving ques-
tion a serious thought? You an
swer, eyes" Well, maybe so.
The winter Picnic" entertain
ment, given by the ladies of the
First Baptist church, last night,
was quite a success. All who at
tended enjoyed the evening very
much. Mesdames Friedell, O'Neal
and their assistants know how to
make a success, of anything they
undertake.
Rose Hill cemetery has been
fenced in on the sides and back
with high wire woven fence. We
learn the front is to be of iron of a
more substantial character. The
ladies when put in control of any
thing always get the best material
and have the work done right, or
not at all.
Mrs. Josephine Gragnani, has re-
ceived $4,000 from the Knights of
Honor as insurance on her husband,
recently deceased. The deceased
Palmin Gragnani, was also insured
in the Maccabees of this city for
81, 900 more, which has not reached
here yet but is expected daily by
the local lodge here.
The Texarkana National Bank,
one OF the strong financial institu-
tions of this country, put in bid
of s75, 900 of the new bonds to be is
sued; two bids of $4,000, each be-
low 10, and one of same sum at
even 10. AS there were enough a
shade higher than l10 our bank did
did not get any of the bonds.
Today Secretary and Collector
G. J. Hollis, of Golden Cain" insur-
ance organization, received a check
for $4,000, amount due Mrs. Chas.
c. Virgins, insurance on her hus-
bands life. Mr.. Virgins died here
about two months ago. The Order
of Golden Chain" is 4 good one,
as shown by its prompt remittance
for its first death loss here.
We had a call yesterday from
Rev. Mr.. Marston OF the Fourth
street Methodist church, and he
said we had him down for Fort
Smith, when he was returned here.
We got our information from the
Little Rock Democrat, the same
publishing list of appointments
for the entire State. We make the
correction gladly Brother Marston.
A splendid new book is just out,
called the Kings OF Platform and
Pulpit" 1t contains four of Bob
Ingersoll's finest lectures, and wit
ty speeches and lectures OF our
most brilliant public men-among
them Mark Twain, Sam Jones,
Beecher, Talmage, Spurgeon, etc.
1t is now being sold in Texarkana,
and you should not miss this oppor-
tunity of getting it.
