The local writer on the Call wants
to know what kind Of glasses the
reporter Of the Texarkaniau wears.
To relieve the young man Of his
desire for knowledge, the reporter
Will state that he wears a pair of
bl-focaIs of the celebrat ted Hawke
make, and now, as we have ans
wered his question, we would like to
know what kind of goggles he had
on when writing up wedding
which is to take place at six o'clock
this evening at the Presbyterian
church, changing the hour of oc-
curence to 6 a. m, and placing it at
the Huckins House; and then If you
have time, please tell how you over
looked the bet in regard to Rev.
Neil, whom you place in the pulpit
Of the First Methodist church,
when in reality, he is pastor Of the
Olive Street Baptist church. We
would suggest that you take your
"blinds" to the Edwards Harness
company and have a few holes
punched in them.

TOOK A NON SUIT.

The great water works bond suit,
which has caused the west side no
little trouble and expense for the
past eight years, in defraying the
expenses of witnesses from here to
the federal court at Jefferson, was
terminated yesterday for the nonce
for you might say the holder of
the water works bonds, who sued
the city to force the payment of
the same, found themselves unex-
pectedly "pocketed" and they took
a non suit, backed out and will
come again, if they see a chance to
collect what is due them.
The case was against the city up
to yesterday; there was no denying
but what the city had issued $l0,-
900 worth of bonds and had sold
them on a false representation
that the city had over million dol
lars worth of taxable property,
when in reality the rolls did not
show more than 100000, and the
law says a bond issue by city to
be legal must be based upon the
actual taxable property returnable
on the tax rolls, and as this was
not done the bond issue was fraud
and the preseat city officials have
SO centended since the suit was
filed
The tax rolls have been lost for
several years and the finding of
them which was offered as evidence
yesterday in the court, and the
fact that the Judge ruled that the
rolls could go in as evidence, was
the cause tor the bondholders to
take a non suit, and be taxed up
with all costs in the case.
Thus ends the first chapter in this
case. We cannot say whether
this case will be called up again or
not.

charter given him previously,
for non compliances with its regu-
lations.
The city engineer was instructed
to make a written report recon-
mending that certain side walks on
which shade trees are now growing
should be exempt from grading.
This does not, however, conflict
with the ordinance calling for the
improvement of side walk.
