Fire at Wheatley.

There was a disasterous fire at Wheatley at o'clock Sunday morning The large store of w. s. Brookes & Co. was destroyed. It was evidently the work burglars. When r. J. Nicely. the first to arrive. reached the scene, he dis covered that the fire was burning in the section of the building used as post office, which was about sixty feet from the nearest stove. The suppostion is that the poSt-office and drugstore were robbed and the building fired to conceal the crime. The hasps of mail sack were found several feet from the rear door, which eorroborates the theory of robbery. The loss was S4500 insur- 5000.

WHEATLEY TIMES.

Rev. E. P. Grove visited Brinkley on Tuesday.
 Brivadier General Geo. P. Taylor, of Forrest City was in Wheatley on business Monday.
 There was sociable at the hospitable residence of II. L. Waldrop on last Friday evening.
 Wm Booker. the popular drummer, was in Wheatley Tuesday, representing the old reliable firm of Porter, McRrae s O.. Miss Eola Diamond. who is teaching near Ringyille in Lee county visited home folks at Wheatley last Friday. On her re- turn she was accompanied by her sister. Miss lone, who expects to spend week at Ringyille.
 The school acknowledges a pleasant visit from Rev. l.. F. Grove and J. M. Lovejoy on Friday afternoon. On being invited MT. Grove addressed the school, for a short while, giving them some ex- ceIleut advice. interspersed with illustra- tlons and anecdotes drawn from his own experience and observation. The school extends hearty invitation to these gen. tienen to call again.
 Thieves are somewhat plentiful around Wheatley. John Hall. a few nights since, shot at one whom he caught steal ing his wood. Darkness prevented bim recog- nizing the thief. Some one entered the room of Mrs w. $. Hemenway, and stole her purse, containing small amount Of change also ring and two breast-pins. The latter were especially priZed. being presents from relatives or very dear friends.
 Our town was given cause for some ex- citement last Sunday morning. At about . o'clock. Miss Minnie Neely was awak- ened by roaring and crackling sound. On going to the window. she discovered that the drugstore of W. $. Brookes & Go. was on fire. She awoke her father, and the town was soon reused. In spite of all efforts, the entire building and stock was lost. The loss was partly covered by in- surance. The stock from the store at Brinkley had been moved to Wheatley only day or two before the fire occurred. The post office which was in the front of the store was also burned. After the fire. the clasps of the mail sack were found near the rear of the store, which leads to the thought that the store was robbed, and then set on fire. The post office can now be fountl in the McPhaul building. and we hear that the firm will bring on new stock and resume business in the same building.
