TAKE A LOOK,
To the Property Holders on Broad,
Between Elm and State
Line Avenue.

AAAS AANNAANSs
We are not going to preach a
long sermon, or write a long dis
sertation on the above text, "Take
a Look, VIII ch we address to the
property holders on Broad street.
We are just going to skim over
the ground Of our subject, and take
rock for our foundation, and
build up in few words of what we
have to say
To commence, we will say Tex
arkana was sprung into existence,
sometime in 1873, and this being
1897 makes tia city "A years old,
The reporter has had his resi-.
dence here q ofthese years and he
knows from observation that
enough money has been spent on
Broad street alone to lay it in
stone, or brick, ten times over, dur
ing this period
What are we going to do about
it in the next 2l years2 Are we
going to still haul clay and rubbish,
and fill in the ruts made by wagons,
or are we going to have the street
graveIed with the rock, that is SO
plentiful and cheap of access, at
our very door2
We can contract with many par
ties here, to rock Broad street from
the curb to the street car track,
both sides Of the street, at from 10
to 20 dollars to the 25 running feet,
This could be paid by the property
holders on each side Of the street,
and they would hardly miss the Sl5
they pay on this investment,
The property would be improved,
travel and traGc would not be burd-
ensome, the street would present a
nice, smoothe appearance, both in
the wet and dry season, and stran-
gers passing through here would
have a better opinion Of our city
and people.
Before we close, we invite the
property holders to view those
fronts rocked by G, u, Wright and
Chatled n Buhrman, and also
rock crossings on Broad street, and
they will see that the rocks placed
on the ground will make a CONE
pact street,
Those members Of the city coun-
ell to whom we have talked, tell us
that they will oblIgate the city to
keep all holes that may be worn
through the rock, filed and in good
repair should the property holuers
once put down the street IN proper
shape
VIII the committee, who were ap.
pointed for the purpose OF seeing
the property holders, get together
and make an effort to this endY

CONDIMENTS IN THE TEA.-It is
related that when Judge Wright, Of
Cincinnati, and Mr.. Corwin were trav'
cling together during a recent cam
paien, they stopped 10 stay over night
at the home of prominent citizen in
the central part of the state. At sup
per the hosts daughter waited on the
table, and knowing the distinguished
character of their guests, was inclined
to put on some style and before pour
ing tea inquired, first of Judge Wright
"Do you take condiments in your
tea ?" The old judge was too polite
to say anything but "yes," and let her
fix bis tea as she pleased.
When she came to Mr.. Corwin, she
repeated the same question. The
chance for joke was so good that he
could not resist the temptation to i'm
prove it, and he replied: Pepper
and salt, if you please, but no mus
tard."

A $1,000 WORD.
Two Papers at the Price Of One aad
a Chance at 81, 900, Additional.

The Third Missing Word Contest Of
The Atlanta Weekly Constitution,
In Which $1,000 Will Be Distrib-
uted to Successful Contestants on
the 1st Of May.
The Atlanta Weekly Constitution las
inaugurated its third consecutive "miss-
ing word" contest, which began on the
1st of March and close on the 1st Of May
sixty days.
It publishes the cashiers receipt for
the special deposit account of 81 900 to be
paid to the person, or persons, who, In
subscribing to The Weekly Constitution,
names correctly the missing word in the
following sentence:
1.-THE Right Of '--' is the very
essence Of the constitution"
The sentence is taken from historical
publication, and the sentiment to which
| 1t gives expression is that OF an eminent
| writer.
By special arrangement with The Week
The ENQUIRER can be obtained for one
year at almost the price Of one paper.
Not only that; but under our arrange
nent with The Weekly Constitution
every person who takes advantage Of this
clubbing proposition, subscribing for
both papers, will be entitled to guess at
the missing word. All clubbing subscrip-
tions should be sent to The ENQUIRER
with each subscribers guess at the miss
ing word plainly written. The guess and
the name and address of each subscriber
will be forwarded by US to The Consti-
tuition.
The Constitutions, FIRST "missinp word
contest" closed on the lst of January, and
but one person, Mr.. M. L. Britain, a
hardworking school teacher, guessed the
missing word, receiving therefor check
for 81 900. Its second contest closed On
the lst Of March. and The Weekly Con.
stitution of Monday, March Stb, will con-
tain the announcement Of the awards in
which $1,000 in cash is to be distributed
among the successful guessers in that
contest.
The readers of The ENQUIRER who
subscribe jointly to it and to The Weekly
Constitution have free access into the
third contest, just opened !; and 1t may be
that some of them will get the 81 900 to be
distributed on the 1st Of May.
The only condition Of the contest is that
every guesser must be a subscriber and
taking advantage of The Constructors
offer we present this opportunity to all who
wish to subscribe to both papers. Every
person should have his county paper and
one great general newspaper; and The
Weekly Constitution, with circulation
of 5000, occupies the unique distinction
of being the the greatest American week.

EXPOSING THE FAMILY SKELETON
Mrs. Parvenu was entertaining some
of the friends she had succeeded in
making since Mr.. Parvenu had made
a fortune, and the conversation had
drifted to the subject of old home
steads and the joys of childhood, al
though there were others besides Mr.
Parvenu who would not have cared to
have the real facts in regard to the old
homesteads known.
"Ah, those were glorious days. u
sighed Mrs. Parvenu, when her turn
came. II can recall the old family
estate as we'll as if had left but yes
terday. You remember, Josiah, that
was where you first met me?'
Her husband nodded, being some
thing of truthful man and not wish
ing to get his tongue into bad habits,
"There was a freedom in the old
life," continued Mrs. Parvenu, "that
one cannot enjoy when one becomes a
part of the great fashionable world"
swell, I should say yes" broke in
Josiah, feeling that it was time for him
to say something to back up his wife
"Why, in those days we didn't use to
think nothing of eating pie with q
knife"

A CHURCH SToRY.--Not very many
wears ago, in a country church in the
west of England, the rector, preach
ing with great earnestness for home
missions, took for his text, "Feed Me
With Food Convenient For Me-" AS
he came down from the pulpit, well
content with the effect his eloquence
had produced on the congregation, the
disturbing thought struck him that he
had made no arrangement for the col.
lection (sure to be liberal one on this
occasion). AS he passed through the
chancel, he whispered hurriedly to an
intelligent choir boy, $50 into the
vestry, take the plate you will find on
the table, hand it round to the congre'
CATION, and then bring it to me-"
The boy departed on bis errand,
and the rector took bis place within
the communion rails and gave out the
offertory hymn.
The last words of this had hardly
died away when the boy stood before
him, a plate of biscuits in bis hand,
and an apologetic expression on his
chubby face.
"Please, SIR" be explained, in an
audible voice, "I've handed them all
round to everybody, and nobody won't
take none :"
