WE ARE NOTIFIED TO LEAVE!
Our many friends will be surprised to learn that we are virtually compelled to
«1 CLOSE OUT OUR ENTIRE STOCK ST ONCE!t»
having been notified by Messrs. Weinstein and Kosminsky to vacate the building by May i
1893. This is very unfortunate for us at the opening of what promises to be a very prosper-
ous season but fortunate for those who may need anything in
Dry Goods Clothing Shoes Gents’ Furnishings and Carpets
for we are determined to unload the ENTIRE STOCK regardless of value including
our Spring Purchase.
We Commence the Sale Monday Feh. 27th.
and will continue as long as the p-esent stock lasts. We shall order n > more goods unt 1 w
determine our location after May i. We have increased our force of help to wait on the
trade duri the rush and hall ncrease it still more later on if necessary.
We are very heavily stocked in some brands of Bleached and Unbleached Muslins hav-
ing bought in large quantities before the recent advances. Ihe will be sold by the piece
only as we shall make great sacrifices to unload
This is a Ra w e Opportunity for Merchants and Mill Men
who have not yet bought their spring stocks. They can buy now and save from isto 20
per cent on the prices of similar goods in New York or St. Louis.
As this forced sale means a loss to us of several thousand dollars we. shall be compelled
to sell for CASH ONLY and will kindly ask our friends to remember this and save us
the embarrassment of having to refuse credit.

PRESCOTT MATTERS.
Editor Democrat: —Last night a
Democratic mass meeting was held at
the court house. Capt. W. <l. Blake
was chairman and Albert Milner sec-
retary. The following sterling Dem-
ocratic municipal ticket was nominat-
ed: Mayor R L Moore; Recorder W
R White Jr; Treasurer 0 B Gordon;
Aldermen J C Young- II G Brooks
Chas F Wingfield Mr Shadrack and
0 R McDaniel. Afterwards the meet-
ing elected a town Democratic Cen-
tral Committee and adjourned. It
was one of the most harmonious aud
humorous meetings of the kind ever
held in this town. Mayor wood de-
clined to Become a candidate for re-
election. The council when qualified
will elect a marshal.
For the present our court house re-
moval controversy is sleeping. To-
day is the day set for election on the
subject of removal Owing to the
present legislature Having passed a
law forbidding the holding of such
election until the petitioners have
tiled with the election commission a
treasurer’s receipt of $5000 to be used
as part of the expense of building a
new court house at proposed site aud
owing to the fact that no such receipt
has been filed with said commission
the commissioners of election refused
to prepare for and hold such election.
There is much feeling on the part of
petitioners and their epithets are di-
rected mainly at Hon. C. C. Hamby
the author of the bill referred to.
Yesterday was no "off” day with
the friends of the many candidates for
the poetoffice. It is understood that
Hon. T. C. McLae wants to leave
Washington sometime next week lor
home and that he will recommend
somebody for postmaster ot Prescott
before his return. The contest in the
minds of our people is between four
applicants C B Andrews.! H Watson
Il M Allen and 0 8 Moncrief The
friends of these applicants have “tired”
something less than a car-load of let-
ters into Mr. Mcßae in the last 36
hours. It is more than likely one of
that quadruple will succeed.

Two at a Time.
The diabolical mania tor outraging
white women which seems to have
taken absolute possession of negro
brutes all over the land has again
broken out in the State of Alabama
where the punishment of death swift
certain aud terrible has been meted
out to a pair of these fiends in hu-
man guise within twenty-four hours
after the commission of their crimes
became known. The more brutal and
horrible of the two crimes was that of
Tom Brunson the negro brute who
on Wednesday night of this week
went to the home of Mr. Chas. Senu
a prominent and highly res
pected citizen of Brundidge Ala. os-
tensibly to see Mr. Senu. Mrs. Senu
’ nu t the negro at the door and told
him her husband had gone away for
the night. As she turned to go back
into (lie house the negro followed her.
Felling her to the floor with a big
stick he criminally assaulted her leav-
ing her in an unconscious slate. The
fiend was run down and lynched by a
mob. In the search for Brunson an-
other criminal assaulter was caught

joining county.
Thus this species of damnable crime
is kept alive to the cost in almost ev-
ery instance of the life of Its perpetra-
tor. How much longer this state of
things will continue time and time
alone can tell.
Dr. Bill.
Much interest has been awakened
among our local drama loving public
by the announcement of the coming
appearance at Ghio’s opera house iu
this city on the evening of Monday
the 27th instant of this new and
unique comedy which under the
euphonious title of “Dr. Bill” has
aroused the enthusiasm of the fun lov-
ing public all over the North and
Hast. In commenting on its produc-
tion in that city the Cincinnati Com-
mercial Gazette has this to say:]
“Much had beeu heard of the comedy j
of “Dr. Bill” aud much was expected.
No disappointment was expressed last
night at Pike’s by the large audience
assembled to see this New York suc-
cess. There was the heartiest kind of
laughter. Everybody seemed to leave
the house thoroughly pleased with the
“Doctor’s” mode of prescribing his
new cure laughter. He certainly
gives good old-fashioned doses of il.
“Dr. Bill” is a trifle broad in spots
there being one or two lines that
could be cut out without hurting the
comedy. But there is nothing oißm-
sive. It certainly deserves the big
success it has inet with for it is as
funny a farclal comedy as we have
ever had here. While extremely
funny there is no horse play methods
introduced in order to create laughter.
The situations and complications are
numerous and create laughter from
start to finish. There is a big week’s
business in store for this merry com-
edy which will certainly make anyone
seeing it forget that they ever had the
blues. As presented at Pike’s it left
little to be desired.
Broom Brigade.
We were shown a list on yesterday
of nearly one hundred young ladies
comprising the flower of Texarkana
social life who have given their con-
sent to aid in the organization of the
much talked of “Broom Brigade” to
be gotten up by the local military or-
ganization of this city. After a
month’s practice the brigade will give
an exhibition drill for the benefit of
the company. With so many fair and
and facinating members the brigade
cannot be otherwise thsn a charming
and attractive body whose appear-
ance before the local public in soldier-
ly array will be anxiously looked for-
ward to by an appreciative people.
The “drill” is to take place sometime
during April novice of the date to be
duly given.
A Pleasant Reception.
Due of the most pleasant receptions
of the season was that ’given last eve-
ning by Mrs. Sam Falk at Mr Falk’s
handsome home in honor of her guest
Miss Flora Benjamin of St. Louis.
The evening’s program of entertain-
ment consisted of music dancing re-
freshments etc. Miss Benjamin mis
made many friends here during her
short stay and our society young
folks will miss her when she returns
home in a few days.
Foot Ball Match.
Another of the series of games was
played yesterday afternoon between
the rival foot ball teams of Prof. Gid-
eon’s school and Bryant’s Inter-State
College resulting in a victory for the
former team on a score of 7 to 0. The
games have become quite interesting
and have heretofore been closely con-
tested. On this occasion however
Bryant’s boys appear to have been in
bad form suffering utter defeat at the
bands of their rivals.

NEW JOBBING HOUSE.
We acknowledge the pleasure of a
visit hist evening from ( apt. Geo. W.
Taylor ot Hope who informs us that
he has completed bis arrangements to
open an extensive jobbing business in
our city by the 10th of next month.
Capt. Taylor aside from being an ex-
cellent business man is also a genial
worthy gentleman and admirable citi-|
zen. We welcome his advent among
us as a most desirable acquisition to
our city both from a business and
social standpoint.
Around the World on Wheula.
The city of Sherman was converted !
into a place of feasting and .pleasure. I
on yesterday by the arrival of the
world renowned cyclists Messrs.
Sachenbach and Allen on their famous
tour around the world.
On their approach to the city the
travelers were met by a committee
comprising the members of the local
cycling club together with the mayor
and many of the leadiug citizens of
Sherman. The tourists were induced
to remain over and partake of a ban-
quet which had been prepared in their
honor by the wheelmen of Sherman.
The story of their travels would
discount many of the wildest flights
of romantic adventure and in the
hands of Jules Verne or some other
creator of impossible fiction could be
fashioned into a book the contents of
which would surpass the boldest
dreams of the novelist.
The account of their travels begin-
ning early in the year of 1890 and
continuing witrout Intermission to
the present date are as interesting ns
they are strange and thrilling. Espec-
ially is this true of that portion which
describes their journey through
Southern China and Japan anil North-
ern Siberia where such a thing as a
bicycle had neither been seen nor
heard of before and where in some
portions of the interior the natives
rose up en-masse to drive out the
evil spirits whom they believed had
been sent by his Satanic majesty to in-
fest their fair domain.
As Texarkana lies along the most
direct route over which these gentle-
men must travel to reach their origi-
nal starting point we trust thill they
may conclude to put our city down
on their list of stopping places. To
meet and converse with them both
being highly educated and polished
gentlemen would indeed be n desira-
ble privilege.
A Huge Affair.
The much talked of “Switchmen's
Ball” given at the Hiawatha dancing
hall on last evening—Saint Pal rick’s
Day—proveda most enjoyable and
successful affair. Fully fifty couples
were present aud participated in the
gaities of the festive occasion.
The hull was beautifully and ap-
propriately decorated by Ihe commit-
tee appointed for that purpose. The
four walls of the dancing hall were
festooned with flowers and evergreens
of every kind the national color pre-
dominating across the rear of the hall
was extended a row of handsome
railway lanterns with beautifully col-
ored globes shedding rays of vari-
colored light forming a mlnature rain-
bow with all of its effulgent beauty.
At a giveu hour the dancers repair-
ed to D’Arngo’s restaurant on Broad
street where a tempting repast had
been prepared and to Wulch ample
justice was done.
At 1 o’cl 'Ck a. tn. the dancing was
re-commenced aud from thence on
till the hour of parting all went mer-
rily as the traditional marriage bell.
Much credit is due to the members
of the several arrangement committees
who were indefatigable in their efforts
to make the affair as it undoubtedly
was a complete and perfect success.
A Musical Treat.
We hail the privilege aud pleasure
lust evening of hearing a special re-
hearsal of the leading parts in “.Jo-
seph” the splendid spactacular can-
tata to be produced in this city on the
evening of Thursday the 23rd Inst. at
Ghio’s opera house under the auspi-
ces of the. Y M C A of Texurkaua.
The rehearsal last evening disclosed
even to the unprneticed oar splendid
possibilities both for the performance
and the performers. The vocal power
and culture exhibited by those present
and participating iu the exercises arc
of the highest amateur order amt on
comparison will rank highly with
many of the professional vocalists of
the day. Indeed superior musical
ability or attainments vocal or instru-
mental can scarcely be found in the
purely local talent of any town or
city of like size in either of the two
stales. Added to tills is the fact that
in the person of i’rof. Evans the per-
formers have one of the ablest and

the selection of “Joseph” they have
chosen oue of the most finished and
fascinating compositions of the kind
extant. Ail combined tliis insures a
magnificent musical production on
next Thursday night.
