damage to .three others. Th
S^ildipgs were all located In t
same block on the north side of
the railroad track. It is not
known what caused the fire, but
it originated about midway of the
block in the rear of Sam Davis’
hardware and furniture store,
which was practically a total loss.
The other places of business
that were burned were the Blos-
som Bee newspaper plant, the
postofflee and Upchurch & Pen-
nington’s grocery store. In ad-
ition to these Geo. H. Walker’s
grocery store and Gossett &
Skidmore’s grocery and the
First National bank building
were damaged slightly. The
building occupied by Upchurch
& Pennington was the only two-
story building and the Woodman
hall, which was located above it,
was also destroyed. The Bee
land postoffice buildings were
owned by Dr. F. M. Lenoir and
the other buildings were owned
by A. M. Haraway of Paris.
Very little of the stocks of goods
in the buildings that were burn-
ed was saved.
After the fire had been burn-
ing about thirty minutes the
people of Blossom called on Par-
is for help and the big motor
Webb pumping engine was tak-
en to the rescue. The engine
began pumping water on the lire
in twenty two minutes after it
rolled out of the station in Paris.
When it arrived at Blossom
the buildings were a mass of
flames and the fire had extended
to the bank building. There
were four big cisterns within
two hundred feet of the lire and
two of them were pumped dry.
It was not long before the flames
were held in check and the effi-
cient work of the engine prevent-
ed the entire block from being
reduced to ashes.
Monday Blossom sent a check
for $200 to Mayor McCuistion as
a token of appreciation for the
service of the fire department.
It was returned with the assur-
ance Paris would not think of ac-
cepting pay for a neighborly act.
The Climax.
Mr. Jones was operated on for
appendicitis. He was placed in
a small ward to recover from the
anaesthetic, his bed being be-
tween that of two patients pre-
viously operated on. As he
awoke, he said. “Thank heaven,
that’s over!”
“Oh, no,” said the patient on
his right, “When I was operated
on the doctor left a sponge and
had to go back and get it.”
“Yes, indeed,” said the patient
on the left, “When I was opera-
ted on the doctor left the scissors
and had to go back and get them
out.”
Just then the surgeon put his
head in the door and asked,
“Has any one here seen my
hat?” and Jones fainted.

tars ago he went to Tioga Wei s

cemetery. Rev. J. M. Youree
of the Deport ^ Presbyterian
Church conducted the ‘funeral
service.
Mr. Tomlinson was 54 year
old at the time of his death. '-^He
was born in Clarksville and had
lived in this community all of his
life. In 1883 he was married to
Miss Lizzie Goforth. To them
was born ten children—seven of
whom, with hjs wife, survive
him: Russel, Ross, Mack, Frank,
Misses Mollie and Mable Tom
linson, and Mrs. J. 8. Scaff.
Mr. Tomlinson was a very suc-
cessful farmer and financier, and
accumulated a considerable por-
tion of this world’s goods. He
was a good citizen and a splendid
neighbor. No one in want ever
appealed to him in vain, and he
gave much money to erect and
maintain churches, school hous-
es, good roads, etc. Many
friends sorrow because this good
man is among us no more.

Where They Met.
The cross-examining lawyer
had adopted a rather unpleasant
tone in questioning the witness,
who. however, kept his temper.
“Have you ever been arrest-
ed?” was among the questions
put.”
“No, sir.”
"Have you been in this court
before?”
“No, sir.”
“Are you sure of that?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Your face looks very familiar
—very familiar. Where have I
seen it before?”
“I am the bartender in the sa-
loon across the street.”

The Eye and Its Needs.
Not until more people realize
the eye is a complicated struc-
ture and requires the attention
of one who Understands and
makes a special study of the op-
tical defects of the eye, can they
obtain the true results that
should be had from the wearing
of glasses. I have done nothing
but fit glasses for the past five
years. I have gone equally as
far into a college training as any
man in this country. Therefore
I find it is no longer impossible
to correct all the optical defects
of the eyes with glasses, except
the diseased eye, which in most
cases is caused from strain and
neglect. My specialty is not to
take care of diseased eyes, but to
correct the optical defects of the
eyes with glasses, which reliev-
es strain and prevents disease.
