CHANGE in FIRM.

Last week Mr.. J. N. Coffey, of the
firm of Hughes, Coffey & Co., general
Merchants, purchased the interests of
tn other members, Messrs. E. H. and
j. D. Hughes, and in connection with
Mr.. j. F. Patteson with whom he has
formed partnership will continue the
business. The old firm enjoyed very
liberal patronage and we believe that
the present one will be accorded a good
share of the trade. The Messrs. Hughes
will leave in few weeks for the South
west, with the intention of entering
business and making that country their

MAKE A CONCRETE WALK.
CASHIER.

All parties who own property 'front.'
ing the public square and who will be
compelled to make side walks in accord
to the ordinance passed by the City
Council, should not overlook the worth
of having a uniform concrete walk.
There are few stretches of brick not
required to be disturbed, but it would
be much heater, and much better if
concrete walks could be made around
the entire square. The brick now used
could be placed somewhere else by
nearly every property owner to good
advantage. The sand under the brick
would not be lost, and the extra cost
would be more than offset by the salts
faction of having the best walk that
can be made, and to know that it would
not be disturbed by future councils.
Why not all parties interested get to-
gether and decide to make such walk?
Columbia is too good town, its growth
is too rapid and substantial, and its fu-
ture too bright to do otherwise. After
the walk has been made, no one would
regret it, and all would feel proud

step. Help to keep values increasing,
and sustain the reputation of thrift and

county who has suffered serious loss,
but many beds have been more or less
affected. Mr.. Benefits entire garden
wilted and died before the seed matur-
ed. 1t is also reported that j. W..
Sears, of Somerset, has likewise suffer-
ed. 1t is the opinion of those best
posted that the blight is the result of
too much mulching and with leaves and
fertilizers. The loss in this seasons
crop of seed will likely bring up the
price from the low figures of last year
and prove of worth to the growers of
the plant as we'll. Experience is a
great teacher.

CITY COUNCIL
in EARNEST.
The Rock Crusher Will be Started
in The Near Future.

Last Thursday evening at the regu-
lar meeting of the City Council, steps
were taken that will doubtless meet the
hearty approval of Columbians in gen.
eral. After allowing a few small
claims for work on streets, ETC., by
different parties, the Council took up
the proposition of better side walks and
better streets. An ordinance was pass
ed requiring all owners of property to
make good brick or cement walks in
front of their property on the public
square, and to do so within 60 days.
1t was also decided to put the rock
crusher to work at the earliest possible
moment, and to give the four main
streets attention first. After they have
been put in good condition, other streets
will have attention. 1t is highly prob
able that the work will begin in earnest
within two weeks.
The resignation of the Marshall and
Tax Collector, Mr.. S. c. Strange, was
accepted, and Mr.. F. T. Smith elected
to fill his unexpired term. Miss Daut
Marcum was elected town assessor and
also to take the census.

days ago, and was entertained at tea
by Judge H. C. Baker. In the compa-
ny at supper was the Hon. Rollin Hurt
and Gov. j. r. Hindman. After sup
per, in the conversation, the Dog Law,
about which so many in this section are
much exercised was mentioned. Mr..
Hurt asked, Gov. Hindman to give
Judge Hobson the legal opinion of the
law as expressed by Mr.. Price, stating
that he is man of strong and weighty
opinions on all subjects, and is especial
ly strong on the law in question, he be-
ing pra tic fox hunter. Som e
nights previous when he and Gov. Hind
man were out on a chase, Mr.. Price
gave his opinion ins the following
words:
The Dog Law is bad in principle,
is unequal taxation, is unconstitutional
and interferes with the Monroe Doc
trine."
Judge Hobson laughed very heartily
at Mr.. Prices opinion, and the fox.
hunters Of the State may understand
that the speech of one of their mum.
Der is already before the Court OF
Appeals, filed with the Chief Justice.

OVER $500 RAISED IMPORTANT ARREST NIXON NEW BASEBALL NOW BEAUMONT, TEX. ROUNDED
 AcERTAiNTY
Rewards Assresatins $2,ooo Once Of. fered for His Arrest-Consider.
 ed Dangerous Man.

A valuable catch is to tho credit of the Pine Bluff authorities in the ar- rest of Bossy Taylor, who was arrest ed at Monroe, La, upon an indict- n1ent in the Jefferson circuit court upon the charge of securing money under false pretenses. The negro was brought back to this city by Depu- tv Sheriff Philpct a few days since. when Jailer Meeks recognized in him q negro who was wanted in Beau mont, Texas. for murder committed i;Te years ago, at which time the uearo murdered white man who was employed as truck driver in the Beaumont fire department.
 The negro admitted his identity to Iailer Meeks. and stated that the re- ward offered for his capture at one time reached $2,0O0. The authorities state that a large reward was offered for the negro but owing to the lapse Of time these offers have been revok- ed. The sheriff at Beaumont, on his own motion. offered reward of $100 for the negro alive, or $50 if he was killed while an attempt was being made to arrest him. The authorities at this place have been warned that the negro is dangerous, and they were cautioned to take no chances in ar- resting him.
 It is thought that the only reason the negro was taken so easily at Mon roe was on account of the minor charge against him here, and that had he contemplated that he would be recognized as the man wanted in Beaumont trouble might have been experienced iA arresting him.
