6USE SALOON BURNS,
Between the hours of 2 and 3
o'clock Tuesday morning tire
waf discovered in theK G. Guse
saloon on Noith Main street.
Although the alarm was imme-
diately turned in and our oitiMMta
responded promptly, the fire
burned rapidly and and gained
considerable headway before the
arrival of the fire department.
The water pressure was splendid,
throwing a heavy stream from
the front to the rear doors. The
excellent service of the Bas-
trop Water, Light and lee Co.
and the good work of firemen
and citizens not only saved the
building occupied by the saloon
from destruction by tire but pre-
vented severe damage to adjoin-
ing buildings.
Mr. Guse estimates a loss of
from $4,000.00 to $5,000.00 on the
stock; insurance $4,000.00. The
building is owned by Mr. M. E.
Anderson and was not iiiKured.
The dental rooms of Dr. N. G.
Fowler and the Public Library
rooms in the Erhard building
on the south and the Masonic
hall and banquet room in the up-
stairs of the building north of
the saloon were damaged by
heat and smoke.
We learn the city is contem-
plating buying a motor truck and
dividing the town into wards,
which would be a great advantage
to the fire-fighters of our little
city. _

EVERY GLOUD HAS A
SILVER LINING
The silver lining to our storm cloud was a line
rain which wil! l>e of untold benefit to the county
and will, ho many think, fully off set the loss from
the wind.
ADVICE IS CHEAP and we offer the the follow-
ing:—Gather all corn as soon as possible. Plow
your cotton as quickly as the wcatl cr will per-
mit. Prepare to light the worms if necessary and
gjt ready to gather the big fall crop which we
predict that you will make. Above all things
KEEP ON SMILING AND COME AND TALK
YOUR TROUBLES OVER WITH YOUR
FRIENDS.

Death of Mrs, W, C, Kennedy,
Just as the Advertiser was
going to press we learned of the
death of XI rs. W. C. Kennedy,
sister of Mrs. T. N. Powell,
which occurred at Suiithville.
Mrs. Kennedy was seriously
burned some time since and has
been a great sufferer for many
weelcs. The Advertiser extend
sympathy to the bereaved rela
fives.
HE finest man in the
world can be spoiled by
a poor mattress and im-
proved by a good one. Those who have used the
modern built up mattress know its comfort and
solid rcstfillness. Our mattresses make a firm,
soft and yielding bed that rests every part of the
body. They never lose their shape.
Come in and see how these matres-
kcs are constructed. We have
them for all sized beds, in several
designs of ticking and at various
prices, but all very reasonable.
