TO FORM A COMPANY.

Hon. ]. NJ. Carter, who is pa
trIot or nothing, has now on foot
the formation of a picked company,
which is to be offered to Governor
Jones should there be a second call
which will in all probability be
made very soon.
Mr., Carter has been in correspon-
dence with several of his friends in
adjoining counties, and they have
written him that they will recruit
any company he may organize here
with the pick of their locality. Mr..
Carter in talking to us about the
matter says while he is taking the
initiative and will work with all of
his might in the formation of the
company and will join it himself
aud go to the front, he wants it
understood that he claims no pri-
ority to the capitancY Of the COM
pany, or to any Office in it, but will
let the company choose their own
officers by election after they have
been accepted.
If you want to join good COM
pany, now is yonr chance to enlist
under the Texarkana banner with
a pick crowd of good men. Send
your name, age, height and chest
measurement to Hon. j. M. Carter,
and also your address that he may
correspond with you on the subject
and have the company organized
and ready to 60 to the front on the
first call.

against the democratic party and
to resolve and put out good compe.
tent men for Office. There were
some fifteen or twenty of them and

ing names of those who participa-
ted
Amos Martin, W. ]. and J. D.
Goodson, Joel Robinson, w. L. Da-
Wis, W. R. Giles, Brigg Rodgers,

We learn the party will put Alex
ander Wilson in the field for sheriff,
if they can prevail upon him to ac-
cept, and Joe Tisdale for represen-
tative. The other places they will
not attempt to fill.
We ask the secretary to furnish
us copy of the proceedings and
