The Intruders Must Go.

A remarkable and vigorous report has
been made to the interior department

of the Union Indian Agency. Mr..
Wisdom says:
The intruders must go. The in

the good faith of the government and

Indian belongs. A sound public policy

Gov. Bob" TAYLOR.

Rarely il ever before was there seen a
more representative and better pleased
audience assembled in our opera house
than was the one which greeted Gov.
Taylor Tuesday evening. Many had
heSrd him before and il was only
necessary TO spread abroad the news
that he would lecture to fill every
SvailShle sest in the building.
There is only one Bob" Taylor and
he captured his audience from the very
start and held them spell bound until
he concluded swaying them from mirth
70 pSthos as the wind would a reed
That he must be imbued with deep
love of nature cannot be doubted.
His words carried his hearers back to
their childhood, pieturing in their mind
vivid scenes of long ago and showing
the beauties of the woods and meadows
mingled with the song of the birds and
the buEzing of the insects, to be
crowned with the laughter or comic
saying Of some old backwoods school.

dsrkey's song, whom he had eonjured
up TO TT the occasion. As we have said
before: there is but one Bob Taylor
and this WAS the unanimous vervict of
his audience.
After the lecture an impromptu
reception was rendered him by a
number of our citizens in the rooms of
r. Z. Brown in the Masonic Temple.
where several hours were pleasantly
spent in entertaining their guest, wind

order had come down from Eureka
Springs and delivered highly interest
ing address, giving many cogent reasons
why all lady relatives of Odd Fellows
should become members of the Rebekah
Lodge. Rev. ]. B. Stevenson also
advanced many reasons why the ladies
should join this noble order during his
opening address,.
Last, but by no means least, came
the banquet. and full justice was done
by those present to the bounteous repast
that had been gotten up the ladies for
the occasion. and until late hour good
cheer and merriment reigned supreme
throughout the tastefully decorated
lodge room.
When Van Buren, Odd Fellows under
take anything it is never done half
hearted, and in this may be seen one of
the reasons of their constant increase in
membership.
To grace the occasion and help make
it grand success the ladies were
strongly represented. and many of them
signiied their intention of joining the
order in the near future.

They Do The Business.

We referred to the Southmayd Miller

heading. and no one will gainsay the
claim we make for that firm.
Composed of men of well known
integrity. whose word can always be

embraces a territory not bounded by
the limits of this county.
When you buy goods from them, you
need not be afraid to take their state.
ment as TO quality, They will tell you
just what the goods are, and not try to
undersell other firms by palming off
goods whose outward appearance would
deceive.
This firm buys more cotton than any
other concern in this section and always
gives the top price. naturally expecting
that those whom they favor will return
that favor when in need of goods, and
they are seldom mistaken. But they do
not depend alone on that, for the large
sluCk tneN Gritty anu tne low prices NJ
which they sell their goods is sufficient
inducement TO any reasonable person TO
deal with them.
Christmas is at hand, and times are
too hard to spend your money making
foolish presents. Buy something that
will remind the recipient every day of
the dener-something useful. Look
over Southmayd. Miller's stock and if
you cannot find something 10 suit your
tastes and your purse, you might rs

The CITY Council.

Monday night was regular meeting
night Of the city fathers. But little
outside of routine business was
transacted. The sctiOn Of the police
committee in appointing T. 7. Pyle and
accepting the resignation Of Policeman
Barrier was approved.
The council then voted on the ques-
tion of the proposition presented by the
Frisco railway company that in con
siderstion of their putting in an arc
light at the head Of Main street the
council revoke the ordinance requiring
them 10 flag their trains acrose this street
and limiting their speed to six miles
an hour. The proposition was favored
by the mayor and Aldermen Wood and
Mstlock and opposed by Alderman
HSymAn. The vote resulted in a tie,
being for revoking; Messrs. Wood.
MSslOek aud Williams. and against:
MsSs-s. Miller. Psrnot and Hayman.
His Honor cast the deciding vote in
favor Of the railroad proposition.
This action of the council is not being
fsvOrably received by the majority of
the people. The putting there of a
light makes this crossing not one whit
less dangerous and some day we fear it
will be necessary TO chronicle that q
hDrrihla accident has occurrei at that
crossing.
