fell want .in the community!. The
desire to follow the highest pur
suits are possessed by all to a
greater or lesser extent; and
recognizing that such is the case,
several of our young men placed
their heads together, t nd evolved
tiie Literary society from their
brains. It istneetlng with special
good favor lrom every denomina
lion, and should prove to be a
yery welcome addition to our
social hie.
The Home Missionary Societies
and other affiliated bodies in
connection with our churches
will also be under full sway in
a very short time, and as some
very interesting features are
afoot they promise to be well
up to the standard of tbeir most
successful years.
We would also draw attention
to the Civic Club, but as that
body will be the subject of a
special article very soon we re-
frain from doing so at present,
but suffice it to say, they too
are maintaining the best tradi-
tions of the social circles Ln the
city.
And as we look around and
view thevaricusactivit:es going
around amoag us, it is at once
recognized even by the most
superficial observor that the
future is fair with promise for
the incoming season, anitl&t
the summer laxitude that has
been the rule tor some time past,
will soon give place tp one ot
energy' and euthusiasm in their
efforts to elevate and improve
our intellectual atmosphere.

to make their escape, all trace

It was afterwards ascertained
that only a tew tools were miss-

the peace.

East Texas Pioneer Dead.
At bis home in Buraeville,
Newton county, on last Monday
morning, quietly passed away
an East Texas .pioneer, Dr. G.
R. S astrunk, at the advanced
age of eighty- four years. The
aged physician was known all*
over East ifexas and was loved
and respected by all who knew
him and espec iallyby hisneight
bors and Men ds with whom he
was daily asso dated. Deceased
graduated in Charleston, S. O.,
in 1840, and had been a practic-
ing physician ever ‘since. He
moved to Texas in 1857, .settling
in Newton county, where be
has lived ever since. The aged
physician, who ;ibus passed a
way alter Ja life ot usefulness
and activity, left two sons, Dr.
J. C. Seastrunk ot Orange, and
R- F, Seastrunk. of Jasper, and
three daughters, Mrs. T. H-
Good and Mrs. P. E. Smith of
Burkeville, tad Mrs. H. F.
Booker ot Lee*ville, La. A
large number of grand children
and. great grand children are
also leit to mourn his demise.
■ Orange Rifles at Matey,
T^e twelve days the "
Rifle* spent at Mabry igjH
thoroughly enjoyed by all, from
the captain to the "greenest”
man in the company. From the
time ot tbeir arrival at the camp
until it brpke up on Sunday
afternoon at five o'clock, they
were under the discipline of the
regular army, but instead of
proving irksome in any way,
they formed the unanimous
opinion that it was the best
holiday they had spent for a
longtime.
Up every morning a» six
o'clock their first duty was to
clean the tents, theu rod call,
mess, and cleaning up the com
pany's street followed in quick
succession.
Nearly every- morning they
bad a hike, or in other words, a
march out, generally extending
irom ten to fifteen miles. One
commendable feature of the
hikes was if they took place in
the afternoon nothing was done
the next morning except the
ordiuary routine duties; and if
they took place in the morning,
which wa-, generally the case,
the men were allowed the after
noon to themselves.
At the maneuvers last Friday,
the Orange Ritleswere attached
to the third regiment, occupying
the out post next to the oppos
lfig forces, which is conceded to
be the post of honor in actual
warfare.
Every afternoon they had
guard mount, and the smartest
looking nun were chosen as
orderlies. During the time they
were there, the Orange boys had
altogether seven men chosen as
orderlies, wnich was a very
high proport .ion in comiarison
with the other companies iu the
regiment. Some ot the boys
stated it was owing to their
captain’s foresight in supplying
them with new uniforms just be
tore the encampment that
gained them such a good reputa-
tion.
The hygienic arrangements of
ti e camp were all that could be
desire jf the water supply was
procured from the artesian wel Is
which abound there;thecooking
was of the very best, in fact the
arrangements were everything
that could be desired uuder the
conditions that prevail -under
military discipline.

the boys; they stated that their
officers were the finest set in the
regiment; wbi I e preservi ng st rict

The removal ot the negro
saloon on Front Street near to
Second Street, which was com
menced today, will effect a
great Improvement on that part
of the city. While the saloon has
not been absolutely a nuisances
to the community, it has alway
been an eyesore to the passers
by, owing principally to Us

the genera) tone of that section
of,the street, will make room

will in all probability be erected
in the near future.
