Some twelve months ago it will
be remembered that a couple Of
tinkers travelling over the country
nending umbrellas and tin pans etc.
robbed the safe of Pete D'Arrigo,
out on Maple street and were
bound over to the district court,
afterwards tried and sent to the
penitentiary, In robbing the safe
they carried off several deeds, insur-
ance policies and a bundle of receipts
valuable to no one except Mr.
D'Arrigo, and although they were
importuned to tell what they did
with the papers they refused Yes
terday a boy was cleaning out a
cotton bin at the Lively gin house,
at Damascus, a suburb of this city
and found hidden under the seed the
bundle Of papers missed by Mr.
D'Arrigo and they were restored to
him. He had gone to the trouble
and expense, however, Of having
duplicates made of all papers OF a
valuable nature, and the restora-
tion as a valuable find does not
amount to much

Our attention has been called to
the fact that State Line Cemetery
that part separated from the
Masonic plat, is badly in need of
work, Our informant tells us that
weeds and brush have grown up in
the walks until the city of the dead
presents a bad appearance. The
Masons haye recently had their
part of the cemetery cleaned of
brush, and it has a presentabIe
look but the other half needs look
ing after badly. There are some
costly monuments erected to the
departed ones in this cemetery and
the stones make a CHASTITY sight
hidden among the scrub oaks and
grass that has grown up since it
was last worked over. We believe
there is a State Line Cemetery As
sociation organized to look after
this grave yard, and we hope if
any of the offiCerssees this notice
they will inquire into the condition
of the cemetery and have it looked
after

not give any idea as to its size, as

the plans were changed to suit the
Amber on hand, and no one knew
whether the auditorium would be
built round, square, oblong, bow
shaped or in a cross, and the public
would have TO await the erection

Wants Hands Badly.

Mayor Mullins received the fol-
lowing note from Homan Station
this morning appended to the fol-
lowing special sent out from here
to the Little Rock Gazette:
Texarkana, September 6.-Texar-
kama is now filed with negroes, who
are unable to obtain work and as a
result they have been forced from
necessity to the committing of yari-
Gus crimes to keep from starving.
This state of affairs is caused by the
organizing of whltecaps in the cot
ton districts south and vest of Tex
arkana. Each season the cotton
fields below here are filled with Tex
arkana's negroes and the people
there have objected to imported
labor. 1t leaves hundreds of ne
groes hele in want. They are
therefore forced into desperation
and Texarkana citizens are becom-
ing alarmed at the condition Great
ed here.
Homan, September 8.-Dear Sir:
Referring to the within l would say,
that at least, hundred of those
people can find employment here,
for the next ninty days, picking
cotton, and you can so notify them
if you please, and oblige,

able obstacles in completing the

wet weather, washouts, etc. Work
on the eastern end Of the line

pushed as rapidly as possible, the
aim of Mr.. Parker being to build it

MISS CADY's RECITAL.

Ms Harriette Cady's piano recital at Harmonic hall on Saturday evening was attended by a large and appre- ciative audience, It is seldom that a pianist can attract so large an attend- ance in this somewhat lethargie town. It is great pleasure to record person. al success for Miss Cady and to know that the mission circle netted consld- erable sum for it's charity. Miss Cady's unusual opportunities for study and what might be called her musical pedi- gree have already been told in these columns, She has surely taken good advantages of her opportunities and she comes before the public splendidly equipped both technically and in sound musical training. She is altogether one of the most pleasing pianists we have heard in a long time. First and foremost her technic is admirable and apparently absolutely reliable. She has both fnesse and endurance. The best things in her programme were Tchaikowsky, Schytte and Leschitizky numbers and the A flat waltz of Cho- pin She has that charming quality of touch that Leschitizky seems able lHVdflapiy 10 llnparl, a certain VelVeLS, pulling quality and large singing tone in cantabile passages. In these num- bers spoken of the delicious quality of her technic and her musical intelligence were heard with best effect. The G flat study of Moskowsky was a big ac- i complishment, but there seemed little i in except mere notes. In the Beetho- ven sonata and the Bach fantaste the
 pianist lacked breadth. The smaller
 things were so especially delightful that 1t seems a pity that the pro- gramme should not have been made up wholly of these things. There are few 1 people to do the small things well, and | it would seem that there would be fame enough in playing Chopin and some of the modern lyrical men and
 leave Bach and Beethoven to someone l else
 There Is no doubt about the deep im- pression Miss Cady has made here, and
 if she will come again she is certain of
 a cordial welcome.
