OBITUARY.


Mr.. Elephalet G. Robinson, a widely
known and much respected citizen of

at Town House Corner Thursday evening
about ten O'Clock. His death was not al
together unexpected for he has suffered
for quite a year past with a serious rheu-
matte affection.
The circle OF Mr.. Robinson's many
friends reached far beyond the vicinity OF
his home, and city, and many Portland
people will pleasantly remember him as
customs clerk for many years, and ac-
countant for the firm of G. =. Jose &
Co., when the establishment was doing
the largest crockery importing business
In this part OF the country.
In the administration Of the affairs Of
South Portland, both as town and as
city, Mr.. Robinson took the deepest IN
terest, and his wise Judgment was fre-
quently sought. He was a selectmaa for
several terms and was a member OF The
famous committee that settled the divid-
ing line controversy between the towns of
South Portland and Cape Elizabeth, and
Ates A1ASu Otuor PuD1tO p11O5S' ho was
secretary of the Cape Elizabeth Mutual
Fire Insurance company and did much of
It's clerical work, He was an Odd Fellow
and a Mason.
Mr.. Robinson leaves a wife, two sons,
Philip Robinson and Arthur Robinson,
and two daughters, Mrs. GeorgesT. Spear
and Miss Isabel M. Robinson.

Boomers VS.. Pants.

A game of ball was played here
this morning between a travelling
troup Of female ball tossers and a
lot of town boys known in base ball
circles as cham phats." The game
was called at about IL o'clock at
the Gun Club grounds and when the
first ball was spatted at, it was
noticeable that the grand stand was
filed as also other places, provided
for those who had not rad for
grand stand privileges.
The game was played without
special note of anything happening
Of specially interesting nature.
The Boomers came out victorious
the game standing 10 to 4. We
learn that two men were substitu-
ted and played with the girl team,
just for what we did not learn. A
great many ladies we're out to see
the game.

they coached the girls in great
shape.

ADDRESS.

To the Citizens of Texarkana, Tex:
FELLOW CITIZENS: l have been
among you for the past 26 years
watched our village of the early
70's grow and prosper until now we
are a large town of 5000 inhabi-
tants; town full of good people,
good people, with bright prospects
for the future; but, my friends, be-
fore we can become great city we
must do something to make outside
people know we desire greatness.
Texrakana is already too big to 're-
main at standstill; it will either
grow more or recede from the COM
merciaI standing it now holds.
Chiefest among all factors to make
city, is good municipal govern
nent- government that will en-
force the laws impartially on all
violators of the ordinances now in
force; government that can be
looked to with confidence by the
governed to bring better results
than we have had in the past.
Texarkana must have better
streets, as we are away behind the
times now and permanent improve
ments should continue until we are
second to none of our sister cities
in any state. Texarkana must ad-
Just her differences with the water
company, so that our outlying
wards can have the same benefit
that the three original wards now
have. All wards being taxed alike,
all should get public privileges alike.
We should have public park, and
a hospital is sorely needed. All
this will come naturally to a city
that is properly governed.
l have been in the city council
four years and have worked earn
estly to bring about these results.
am now a candidate for Mayor
and want the vote of every man
who wishes to see Texarkana rise
and become the magnificent city
we hope to have it.
My opponents are well known.
They have lived among you and you
know their record as well as my
own.
To my friends | ana truly grateful
for their support. I have not So
licited votes, for I believe the citi- |
zens of Texarkana intelligent |
enough to select their own mayor, I
and | feel delicacy in approaching |
a man and begging his support, be-
lievng that every citizen has the |
city's best interest at heart, and
that he will vote his own sentiments
the advice of the politician |
With "pull" and thus honor a man
for the merit he possesses rather
than his salleged popularity some
times purchased by means obnox-
ious to free American citizenship.
There is work to be done by the fu-
ture Mayor and council, and we
now have money in the city treas
ury to begin with.
All 1 ask is that you elect me
mayor with council of good citi-
zens and we will give Texarkana the
best administration it has ever had.
We will start our city to future
greatness and our people to the
prosperity they so well deserve.
Expecting your support and good
will at the polls next Tuesday and
thanking you in advance for same,
] am, yours Respectfully,

as much as 81 pounds OF butter fat per
