Mr.. Ol Hardin is getting up a
great show to be put on the stage
about the 18th of November, the
proceeds to be given Mayor Hardin
to help him in building the big op-
era house he has in contemplation
tor the next theatrical season. We
see from his list of names, gentle
men who have signed to give their
aid such talent as will not fail to
please. Mr.. Hardin said his inten-
ton was to enlist the cooperation
of the east and west side mayors
and the aldermen of both councils
in the enterprise, and if he could
get them in a seml-cirCle on the
stage with the two mayors as inter
locutors, he would give show out
of sight and it would be a money
drawer from drawersvilIe. We shall
wait for the big parade with the i'm
patience bordering on TO that by a

long and half a mile wide, judging
from what Mr. Hardin says of the

IN UNITY THERE is STRENGTH.

Southwest Arkansas is solidly
democratic. We always come up at
state and federal elections with pom
derous maiorities for the party
nominees, but 1t is painfully true
that this part of the state enjoys
very little of the official patronage;
chiefs of the several state depart
ments rarely select their assistants
from this section of the state, and
with the exception of Chief Justice
Bum. it has been long time since
we had a state officer from this sec
tion. Counting the five supreme
Judges there are thirteen state Off
GERS, and it seems that justice would
say that Southwest Arkansas would
be entitled to at least three OF
them, and out of the twenty-five or
more deputies, clerks and assistants
we would be entitled TO at least half
a dozen, while as it is we have only
one, Capt. T. c. Monroe of Column
bia county, chief book-keeper in the
State Auditors Office. Judge Bum
and E. B. Kinsworthy are the only
state officers elected from this sec
tion of the state in many years, and
unless we unite and remain loyal to
our own standard bearer, we will
not likely have another for many
more years. The counties of Sc
vier, Howard, Little River, Miller,
Pike, Hampstead, Nevada, Lafay-
cite, Columbia, Union, Ouachita,
Calhoun, Dallas, Clark and Hot
Springs, could unite their forces,
and command an influence in state
conventions that would gain for us
proper recognition, 1t is not be-
cause Southwestern Arkansas does
not produce men of ability, but be-
cause we are not united when we
90 into the state conventions, and
are too ready to listen to the schem-
ers from other sections, rather than
to exercise our power and influence.
Let us wake up, and look after our
own official production,

NORRIS BROS. TOMORROW.
Trained Animals Begin their Engag-
ment Here.

The day of the dog and pony part
issover, and managers to succeed
under tent must reach out alter
something more preteutious. The
pace in this direction has been set
by Norris Bros, who have made ar
raugments to bring their big train
ed animal show to this city for two
performances tomorrow.
The business of training animals
like other businesses, is subject to
change and advances At one time
it was confined to dogs and mon
keys, but now it has, under the
compelling influence of more mod
ern demands, reached a more elab-
crate plane, and the dog and pony
exhibit has been supplemented by all
animals of the animal kingdom, that
do everything but talk. The Nor
ris Brothers we're the first to see
the necessity of a more elaborate
program, and from the time that
they secured a substantial footing
with their dogs and ponies they be-
gau to reach out for more elabor-
ate show. Their efforts have been
successful in this line, and they
now congratulate themselves upon
having the largest trained animal
show in the world. This year the
show has grown into much larger
and more pretentious affairs than
it was last year. 1t is show that
arouses the interest of the little
people and affords them several
hours of innocent pleasure. The
afternoon Performance will begin
at 3 o'clock and the evening en-
tertaipment at 8 o'clock. 1t will
be the first complete animal show
ever seen in Texarkaua, and this
fact, if for no other reason, should
be a guarantee of its interest.
With two performances every one
should have a chance of enjoying
the performance.

E. E. Newton Dead.

Mr.. E. E. Newton, a farmer living
four miles from the city, died at his
home yesterday afternoon after a
short spell of sickness. Mr. New
ton lost his wife about a year ago
after eight children had been born
to them, the oldest being about II
years old, and having never married
again, he leaves this family of chill
dren fatherless and motherless.
We learn from Mr. Adams, who
has had dealings with the deceased,
that he was good man and farmer
and his loss will be felt to the com
munity in which he lived, as well as
to the family of children he has left
behind.
His remains were carried to
Bright Star, his old home, for iuss
terment this morning. Peace to
his ashes.

A FIRST CLASS HISTORY,

We have before us Mrs. Lees
school history of the United States,
published by B. T. Johnson & Co.,
of Richmond, Va, A school history
should be written in such a manner
as to readily command attention
of the pupil, the dictiou should be
clear and simple, aud the facts
should be stated and impressed so
as to create a love for the whole
country and not merely that sec
tion in which the child happens to
live.
For many years the histories
used in our public schools have been
partisan, sectional, and exceedingly
bitter toward the people of the
South and the memories so dear to
them, to such an extent that out
ragged people have demanded that
text books be used in history whose
authors have a high regard for
truth than for sectional strife.
Mrs. Lee has certainly told the
story of our country in a concise,
non partisan and reliable manner.
No one, however exacting, either
North or South, can urge any valid
objection to the use of these books
in the public schools of the United
States. We should break down sec
tional lines; we should teach the
children that, through the sweat of
and blood of suffering, our fore
fathers, both North and South,
have wrought with high purposes
and noble aspirations to found this
government to be the haven of lib
erty for all mankind. We commend
this book to school officers through
out the state.

Horrors Of Philippine War.

Tales come to us of the sufferings
