AT OAK FLAr.-The hoys are now obliged
to ranch themselves at Oak Flat. The Hotel
has long been closed. There ia no meat shop.
Things culinary are reduced to first ard
"49" principles. Every man there without n
wife runs his own cooking.
To get bed at Oak Flat requires love.
Money won't answer. IF one has friends, be
may repose out of the street. If not, he must
pass on to Garro.e.
Tom Barnes intends to draw the 500, 600
prize in the Mercantile Library Lottery.
With the proceeds, he will erect a ''magnif-
cent" hotel and put a man therein who will
stsy there and keep it. Then neither he nor
Judge McGehee nor any other Oak Flat man
will contract disease and death BY bending
over red-hot stoves with the mercury at 9S.
They will no more peel potatoes nor watch
and,pray for the butcher from Garrote, nor
have the subject Of dinner weighing anxious
ly on their minds all day and rushing them
forward into early and premature graves. A
renewal Of the hotel is the summum bonuns Of
