Death of Enooh Ensley.

The sad news of the death OF
EnOch Ensley, which occurred in
Memphis yesterday, of Bright's dis.
ease, has reached here. Mr.. Ensley
has many relatives by marriage and
old time friends in this city and coun-
ty, to whom this will be sad news.
His wife was a daughter of Judge
Martin and sister of the late Mrs.
Joshua Elder, one of the most CON
spicuous families that has lived in
this county. Mr.. Ensley's death is a
great loss to the South. He was one
of our most enterprising, progressive
citizens in developing new industries,
in railroad building and iron fur
naces, making not only fortune for
himself, but making many others
rich. His operations, however, were
confined mostly to northern Alabama
and the southern border of this
Slate. He was 81 years old.

1t will be gratifying to the people
of GAINESVILLE and the county to find
so live and capable a young man as
Col. Gracey Childers coming to the
front in the Cumberland river enter
prise. What is everybody's business
is generally nobOdy's business, and
the trouble is to get our people to
take an interest in this most inn
portant matter. AS Mr.. Williamson,
Of Evansville, said in the con,
vention, the reason why this river
had not been locked and damned
long ago is that the people
have taken no interest in the very
important matter, asking for it and
insisting on having it done. Col.
Childers is now putting his shoulder
to the wheel in earnest, and if our
people will back him up in the
right spirit we will soon get money
enough to make the lower Cumber-
land navigable every day in the
wear.

Fifteen Hundred Dollars Damage Done
to the Typhoon by Fire.

Last Saturday evening fire broke out
on the steamer Typhoon while she was
lying in the Hoquiam river at the wood
yard below the mill. No one was on
board at the time. The fire department,
on account of the frequency Of the false
alarms recently turned in, was not
prompt in responding, and could not
get any water when they did appear.
The fire was well under way when the
buckets and hose of the small boy brig
ade got it under control
All the light wood work Of the steamer
was destroyed; but the hull and machin-
cry are intact. 1t is estimated that 81 800
will put,her in shape; and she will be
on her old route before ten days are over.
There was no insurance on her.

Advertising is tax on him who so re-
CARDS it. Only when he has learned to
look upon it as an investment, and treats
it as such, giving 1t his time and thought,
will it develop into thing that pays.
Newspaper advertising space, like most
other kinds OF property, has two values,
to-wit, what it costs the advertiser, and
what it is worth to him. Therefore, in
buying it, he should considerits character
as well as it's price.-The Roller Mill.

Gates, almost III the center OF the
best portion of the city. Market
street, which is one hundred feet
in width, runs completely
through the tract. This street is
planked its entire length within
the city limits, and it is the judg-
ment of a great many who are
well informed that it is destined
to be the principal street of the
city. The planking continues
from Market street up Washing
ton, north and south, through
their tract to Fifth street, from
which point it goes due west and
connects the city of Aberdeen
with the town of Hoquiain. This
addition lies perfectly level, and
every lot is ready for building.
Every day the growth Of the
city's business center is toward
this property.
Within a few weeks the
Northern Pacific railroad will
run its trains into South Aber-
deem and give Aberdeen rail con-
nections with Puget Sound and
the East. We think very well
of South Aberdeen, for the rea-
son that it is the best located
piece of property for handling
railway traffic and shipping, in
Western Washington. 1t has
three miles of deep water front
and is completely land locked.
The Northern Pacific railroad
company have acquired heavy in
terests at this point and are now
busily engaged in erecting freight
and warehouses, roundhouses,
passenger stations, as we'll as put
ting in large docks and freight
yards. The South Aberdeen
Company have expended thou
sands Of dollars during the past
season planking streets, erecting
a large brick business block,
twenty-five residences, and a
largs hotel, and are now putting
in a good system of waterworks
to supply that part of the city
with fresh water. We are large
holders in South Aberdeen prop
critics in different localities, both
in the original plat and additions.
Second and Third streets are
planked and are rapidly becom-
ing business streets.
We are the owners of Patter-
sons addition to South Aber-
deem. This addition has deep
water frontage along its entire
front. Second and Third streets
run through it, and it is undoubt-
eddy the cheapest property now
being offered in South Aberdeen.
OUR SPECIALTIES.
Besides our holdings in South
Aberdeen and the Central addi-
ton, we are the agents for Sam
uel Benn's plated property,
which includes a great number of
inside and business lots which
we are listing at the lowest fig
ures of any now on the market.
We are able to do this owing to
the fact that we are offering this
property at first cost. We have
also a limited number of water
front lots listed for short time.
In conclusion we wish to state to
our friends and patrons that it is
Our firm belief that this coming
season Aberdeen is going to sur
pass her splendid growth of
even 800, which has been a red
letter season for material growth
and prosperity.

Burned to Death by Gasoline.

CHICAGO, May 9.-By the explosion Of
can of gasoline yesterday afternoon,
Miss Jennie Tucker, aged 10, niece OF
Professor Loomis, was burned to death.
A can of gasoline for house cleaning
purposes had been planed beside the reg
lister in the bath room. Miss Tucker
went to the bath room to get some fluid,
and struck u match to light the gas.
The flames ignited the fumes and the
explosion ensued, enveloping the girl in
flames. Her screams could be heard,
but as she had fallen with her back
against the door those outside were
poweriess to open it, When they finally
succeeded, Miss Tucker was found
stretched on the floor with her lower
limbs burned almost to crisp. She
died few moments afterwards. Pro-
fessor Loomis and his wife were seriously
burned in attempting to rescue her.
