NASHvILLE'S FIRE.
Banner Burned Out...The Total Loss
About $25O,OOO

NASHVILLE, Feb. 12.-Before daylight
this morning fire broke out in Sol
Frankland's dry goods store and de-
stroyed the entire stock, sntailing a loss
of about $50, 900, with $40, 900 insur.
ance on stock, and the building. valued
at 100000, was wrecked. In the fire
Lucian Bradford and Dick Hyde were
seriously injured by a skylight falling
ON them.
Hardly had the fire been put under
control, when flames we're discovered
in the hardware store of j. H. Fall &
Co., next door to Frankland's, and the
large stock, valued at 1885,, 900, was to-
tally destroyed. Insurance 500, 900.
Cans of powder and cartridges explod-
ing in Falls house handicapped the
fire companies for some time. The fire
spread to the Globe Clothing Store,
next to Falls, which was only damaged
to a limited extent.
At noon a fire broke out on the sec
ond floor, above Wigger's jewelry
store, on Union Street, and the block
was Dol a mass of flames. The City
Savings bank was Quilted, as was Wig
gers. Above the bank was a printing
office, in which three printers were at
work. Two of them came down by a
rope, the third, Will Lancer, was seri-
ously burned, and he leaped from the
third story window to the street. The
loss on the two buildings is about $780,
600. Insurance $50 1000.
At $50 this evening fire broke outiin
the Office of the Nashville Evening

The flames from the Banner office
crept into the rear of Baxter Court Ho,

We are pleased to note that our State
Senator, Hon. Jas, A. West, has re-
ceived more than ordinary recognition
from Speaker Dismukes by being ap-
pointed on eight of the standing COM
mittees of the Senate as follows: FL
nance Ways and Means, P~enitentiary,
Banks, Public Grounds and Buildings,
Agriculture, Mining and Manufactures,
Liquor Traffic and Labor. These are
all very important committees, and it
is certainly gratifying to both Mr..
West and his friends that he should be
thus honore1. To be a member of SO
many important committees, however,
means much very hard work; but as
he has always been a busy, industrious
man, WI are satisfied he will not shirk
any work that is imposed upon him,
but will bring to the discharge of these
public duties the same patience and
industry that he gives to his private
business. And in the addition to the

OBITUARY.
THOMAS @. BROWN.

son of James and Rachel Brown, de-
ceased, of Jonesboro, was born June
4th 1888, and died October Goth 1892
after a very painful illness of four days.
The subject of this sketch was raised
in Jonesboro and was never married.
He was a faithful confederate officer
in the late civil war.
Soon after the close of the war he
went West, engaging in business there
for q number of years. Then his
health failing, he returned to Jones'
boro about six years ago, where he
remained, principally, until his death.
Perhaps Mr.. Browns chief character
istic was cheerfulness. During the
dark days, and amid the distressing
scenes of the war in which he bravely
engaged, he was always cheerful and
hopeful, proving to be 1.-THE life of the
camp" And although for several
years previous to his death he was a
great physical sufferer, his usual cheer
fitness of spirit was beautifully mani
Tested Thus did he live, teaching men
by that wonderful power, example, to
be brave and courageous looking at the
bright side" OF things through the
vicissitudes of life. And though dead,
yet he speaketh.
He was honest and upright, and had
many warn friends.
In Jonesboro he was well known as
Uncle Tom" Although he never
publicly professed his faith in Jesus
Christ, he vas a close Bible student
and had the highest respect and rever-
ence for that which was sacred, and
those nearest and dearest to him whom
he left behind, have reason to hope
and trust that he has now reached "a
better county, that is, an heavenly"
"Thou art zone to the grave,
We no longer behold thee
Nor tread the rough path by thy side;
But the wide arms of mercy are spread
To enfold the.
And sinners may hope since the sinless
has died." b.

In his decision in the railroad case
between Jonesboro and the E. T., v.
& G. R. R., Judge Rix held that it was
all right to make railroad trains reduce
their speed to a minimum when run
ming through such towns as Chatta-
nooga, on account of the great danger
at the crossings to the people. If that
is good doctrine surely it is sound logic
to require the same rule in Jonesboro,
where there are twice as many grade
crossings as in Chattanooga. To our
way of thinking the Judges decision
vas without logic or reason.

What is Irritation? Really,
How can l tell you that
But when she smiles | see its wiles,
And when he lifts his hat.
IT'S walking in the moonlight;
It's buttor ing on a glove;
IT'S lips that speak of plays next week,
While eyes are speaking love.
IT'S meeting in the ballroom,
IT'S whirling in the dance,
IT'S something hid beneath the lid,
More than a single glance.
IT'S lingering in the hallway,
IT'S sitting on the stair,
IT'S bearded lips on finger tips,

The other day a Lewistown young
lady made an agreement with one of
her admirers to go out walking that
evening. Later she met another, whom
she invited to call that same evening.
she had forgotten the first. Then when
O third one of her beaux made his ap-
pearance she agreed to go walking with
him. In the evening the first young
man came for her. She went, and
soon the second arrived, and, being
told that she was out, he said that he
would go and meet her. When she
saw him coming she remembered her
engagement, excused herself from the
first young man, and walked with the
second. They came to confectionery
store, and she remained outside while
he went in after chocolates. The third
young man came long while she waited
and she graciously promenaded of
with him. Now she says she will be
more careful of her appointments.
