ated S. NJ. Dick, After business

H. A. Bishop, of Portland, Tuesday
buried his second child that has died
of diphtheria within the last two
weeks. Already three or four deaths
have occurred from this disease in
Portland. 1t seems to be very fatal.
Mr.. Bishop now has two more children
very dangerously i'll with the disease.
Barney OCOnnor is in for it again,
We presume he will taste plenty of
the penalty Of violated law before he
is through with it. A warrant was
issued for his arrest Tuesday morning
on the charge of giving Intoxicating
liquors to minors. If any crime is
punishable this offense certainly is.
D. A. Espy left Monday morning
in charge of a carload of horses. He
did not know when he left whether
he would land in St. Louis, in Texas
or at Atlanta. His presence may be
needed here on the board of county
commissioners in reference to the
county money in the First National
bank before he gets back.
A rather unwelcOme visitor was
COntentedly situated in front of the
Arlington hotel Tuesday morning
When Ira DobbinS, the hack driver,
came up he found huddled nicely in a
corner of the entrance to the hotel, a
big fat skunk. The animal was per-
haps desirOuS of becoming member
of A. D. Speeds meuagerie.
Several loads of apples were present
upon the streets Monday which
had been hauled from the counties
east of US. We heard one man re-
mark that he heard that if he would
haul his apples to Sumner county he
could get dollar bushel for them,
but he sold the whole load at about
IS cents per bushel and was rather
glad to get that much.

Many jokes were abroad Monday in
reference to the First National bank
failure. One is on merchant Of
Perth. He got scared of the First
National short time since and trans
ferred his deposit to another bank
But after studying over the matter a
few days, he concluded that his fears
were unfounded aid took his money
back to tue First just in time
to get "nipped."
W. S. Murray, whose discharge al
Santa Fe yard master we noted a few
weeks ago, has been reinstated ant
resumed work again Monday. Hi
many friends here will be glad to heal
Of his reinstatement, as none Of then
really believed he deserved the repri
mand Of the company. 1t is will
pleasure and the utmost cOnfdanc,
that Mr.. Murray will serve the com
pany in the best manner, that W,
note his reinstatement.
