Toast to Ex-Mayor Collins.
The tribute Judge Young paid
our worthy ex-Mayor Collins, at
the firemen’s banquet Tuesday
evening, was a well deserved one,
and the applause of the audience
showed unanimous endorsement.
One would have to go outside of
Stepheuville, or out of the county
for that matter, to hear a word
spoken against Jim Collins. And
that is sayiug considerable for a
man who figured in official life, in
county and city, for more than
twenty \ears. So safe did Ernth
county people feel with Mr. Col-
lins as their treasurer, that they
kept him in charge of the finances
for twelve years on a stretch, and
since then the city used him as
Mayor ten or twelve years,

Miss Myrtle Woods, daughter of
Torn Woods, k very sick.
Bud Gray of Rocky Point has a
Mrs. J. W. Martin of Smith
Springs died at an early hourTues
day morning; also her little infant
which bad just been l>orn a few
moments before. Mrs. Martin was
a daughter of J. M. Thomp?on,
and a sister to Judge Thompson.
She leaves a son four years old,
a daughter two years old. She
had been suffering with lagrippe
several days prior to her death.
The guests of the fire company
Tuesday night can testify to the
fact that the boys have learned
well the art of sliding down the
slick pole which runs from the
sleeping soom above to the cart
room below. They had just as-
sembled for a short business ses-
sion, which was to precede the en-
tertainment, when at 8 o’clock the
fire alarm sounded. Instantly
there was a human chain sliding
down the pole, and in much less
time than we can tell of it, they
had the carts out and were ready
for business. A big pile of brash
in the woods beyond the college,
had caused some one to turn in the
alarm, and the facts in the case got
to Chief Compton in time in time
to save the boys a run. Although
the firjemen were diked out in their
Sunday clothes lor the exercises of
the evening, not one of them al-
lowed that fact to cause him to
shrink when duty called. On ac-
count of this interruption, their
business session was deferred un-
til next Tuesday night when a full
attendance is desired.
Mrs. T. L. King of Houston,
and Mrs. J. F. Garrison of Abilene,
daughters of Rev. and Mrs D. L.
Collie, are here to speud several
weeks with their parents. Mr.
Garrison, who is a banker at Abi-
lene, spent Sunday here.
W. C. Kinney, J. W. Wood,
Peter Nix and seventeen other
neighbors of Walter Hayes, whose
names we did not get, were here
yesterday to carry out lumber to
build Mr. Hayes another house.
Mr. Nix was present at the time
Hayes rescued his wife from the
burning building, as detailed else-
where, and he says it was a most
excitable moment.

Everett Keith left for St. Louis
last week to join his brother, Ed,
who departed for that city a tew
days before him. Together they
will select the stock of dry goods
and clothing with which they pro-
pose to stock the building recently
vacated by Bennett’s grocery on
the west side of the square.
Everything on the interior of this
building such as shelving, coun-
ters, flooring, etc., has undergone
great improvement within the last
three weeks, as the carpenters
have been getting it in readiness
for Keith Bros. With their wide
ciicle of acquaintance all over the
country, coupled with their splen-
did knowledge of the wants of the
trade, it is safe lo predict that the
Meassers. Keith will buy the sort
of goods that will appeal to the
buyers of this section. This house
will very likely be open for busi-
ness with their big stock of all new
goods on or before March 1. Watch
for their advertisement for definite
dates.
W. H. Crouse of this city and S.
G. Ross of Hamilton were to have
begun the construction or a tele-
graph and ’phone Hue from here to
Hamilton on February 1, in con-
nection with the North & South
Railway. But owing to the recent
sale of half the stock of the road
to St. Louis parties, t,tie project has
been abandoned until it is learned
whether or not the arrangement
suits the new share holders. Mr.
Crouse says that Mr. Ross and
himself may decide to build a
’phone line even though the tele-
graph and railway part of the deal
should fall through entirely.
The offices of Lee Young and A.
P. Young are now over the First
National Bank instead of in the
Schnabel building; ■ - 23*4t
