We were presented with beautiful
and large cat fish at the hands of our
friend Ed. Ketchem Monday morning.
Ed. is the best fisherman on the job
judging from his success Of late. He
caught six large catfish last week
each weighing from 6 to IS pounds
We call that doing exceedingly well
considering the fact that he loses no
time in catching them. We know of
a number Of our citizens who have
tried hard many time to get even a
a bite but have failed. We ourselves
went fishing once in our life time, that
we remember of, and could not get
even a sucker, we have even went so
far as to wind our line around a sue
cessful fsherman's line and he would
pull them out while we would not get
even smell of one Such was our ex-
perience and we have never attempted
it since. We were always lucky in
getting W ct and in snagging our hook
but further than that we made fish
ing complete failure. Ed. we thank
you.

Soiree At Mosher's.

caused merriment among all. The

programme was rendered in most
efficient manner, and shows that we
have in our city talent enough, to
furnish the highest order of musical
entertainment. We hope these Soir-

winter.

HORRIBLE.
Three Children Burned 10 Death
---their Charred Remains
Buried To-Day.

Last night three children, aged re-
spectively six months, two years and
years, were burned to death un-
der most horrifying circumstances on
a farm near Woodstock, twelve miles
north of this city, owned by Mr.. j. j.
Busby, of this city, and worked by
Mr.. Ed. Wendell, his son-in-law.
Andrew Buchanan and wife were in
bed. The mother of Mrs. B, dropped
in toask the couple to visit the church
near, as Mollie Hines, their sister, was
under religious influence. The parties
left for the church, Buchanan locking
the house and leaving their chill
dren asleep in bed. A lamp was
also left burning in the room without
a chimney shortly after the house
took fire, and before aid could be ex-
tended the flames burst through the
door. The father of the children
reached the scene in time to hear his
children call in piteous tones to him
for help, but he could not enter. The
premises were entirely destroyed and
the three children's charred remains
we're inferred this forenoon at Old
Union graveyard, near by. Buchanan
and his wife lost everything they
owned, together with their children.
They had provisions stored in the
house enough to last until next fall.
The hands on the farm were preparing
to make donations sufficient to start
the sufferers. The sad news of the
awful affair came this forenoon
through a letter from Mr.. Wendell to
Messrs. j. j. Busby Il Co., who writes
he is satisfied the fire started from
the coal oil lamp so carelessly left in
the room with the children.

Mr., John Castor, who has long
since won a deserved name throughout
the country as a restaurant and hotel
keeper, must feel proud of his daily
increasing patronage, especially among
the ladies. So popular is Gaston's
hotel that people were turned away
every evening last week owing to lack
of accommodation. Most of Mr.. Gas
toms regular guests, aside Of our own
citizens, are northern commercial
travellers who know and appreciate a
house in which they can command
anything and have the same cooked to
order. New York has a DeImonico,
but Memphis has a big hearted, gen
erous CASTOR.
