After he had finished Nlr. Leary calle

Texarkana & Shreveport.

The Texarkauian says that the
Texarkana and Shreveport railroad
is extending its rails on toward
Shreveport in a hurry. The road
has made arrangements to get all
the rails and rolling stock needed
aud will soon be blowing it's whistle
in the suburbs OF Shreveport.
There is some reticence to talk
about the connections of this road
that is about to enter Shreveport,
But there is no doubt but that it
will become a portion of the Red
River Valley route that is now
building southwark, with Natchez
or some gulf point for terminal,
The familiar face of Mr., Fouke,
one of the projectors of the line
from Texarkana, is being seen here,
That is pretty good evidence that
the entrance of the road into this
city is near at hand.
1t will open up new section OF
country that is rich and produc.
tive to the trade of Shreveport
and prove a valuable feeder toits
volume of business, These are the
great highways to commercial and
industrial life and activity

Residence Burned,

Hon. W. Z. Hudgins has certain
ly been overtaken with some bad
luck. He was making arrange
ments to leave here, and had all his
house hold effects Grated, ready for
shipment. it being his intention to
Ie4Ye forsanother home.
Early Sunday morning his house
caught fire while the family were
asleep. Mrs. Hudklns was the first
to be aroused, she heard loud
noise like something had fallen, and
on going to the door that opened
to the hallway, and discovered the
back part of the house on fire.
She awakened her husband and
little son and they barely had time
to escape.
The alarm wos given and soon the
two fire companies were on the
ground throwing water on the
! house, but it was too far gone to
save it or any of the furniture.
The loss will prove heavy one
to Mr.. Hudgins, though we learn
he carried insurance on the
the building and furniture.
