He claims TO have foretold all the presi-

the whole country was rlveted on Grant

one dreamed Of Garfield as a candidate.
Dr. Kaizer announced that he would be
the candidate. He was laughed at, but

B0W SINNER HAS IMPROVED In
THREE YEARS.

Three years is not a long time,y
when we think of tho improve
ments made in Sinner during that
short period it would seem that it
was long time. The Sinner of to-
day is nothing like the Sinner OF
the spring of 1898, when this paper
was first established. The common
expression of every visitor who has
been absent during that time is
How your little city has grownF'
There is no denying the fact that
things were dull in Sinner in the
beginning of 1898. True, there had
boon a phenomenal cotton crop
raised in the fall of '92, and the
prices were good, still there were
empty business houses all over
town. The post Office occupied a
little nook next to Wangemann's
store. A. G. Wangemann was post
master and French Smith assist
ant. Next stood the Arkansas Pass
saloon, NJ. Richer, proprietor. Be-
low this down to the K P hall the
rooms were all vacant, and only
the sign boards indicated where
the firms Of Wofford & Wemken
and George Herder had once done
business. Late in the spring the
post Office was moved into the
room once occupied by Geo Herdel
and the GAZETTE took the adjoin.

then conducted by A w Hinrichs.
Up main street from there stood
the City Meat Market, then owned
by Z H Flato. Merseburger Bros
were then doing business in a little
room which was soon vacated for
the present location of the business
Wolters Bros store stood where Joe
Ondrej's saloon now stands, while
Joe was doing business in the pres
ent bank building. Stuerke's sa-
loon came next, while at the corner
where Seydler & Eschenburg's
store now stands was the furniture
store of Martens & Blohm. Across
the street were Wilks' jewelry store
Miss Grasshofi's millinery shop
and Mittanck's grocery store. On
Front street the Favorite saloon
conducted by ] II Huebner and the
Bismark by Christian Wagner.
Still further up the street Carnes q
Burkett were doing a grocery bust
ness. Wolters Bros began making
preparations to build early in the
fall of 1888 and moved into their
brick store early in 1894. The firm
of Seydler & Eschenburg was es-
tablished in the early part of the
fall of 1898, and the brick building
now occupied by them and Hahnke
& Eschenburg was erected in 1894.
Then came the brick block erected
on the site of the burnt district, land
then the magnificent opera house
building of Wendtland e Wagner.

features to be mentioned in speak

cellent fire company. The call for
"a mass meeting for the organization
Of this company was issued from
the GAZETTE Office in November,
1898, and the meeting assembled
in the old X of P hall. Everybody
in town was there and about sixty
signed the roll, including all the
business and professional men in
town. This was too many. and the
company soon dwindled down to
twenty-five members. Some skep-
tical ones said the company wonld
break up in thirty days. The con-
test to elect Sponsor was opened
up in December in the same year
and STA cleared for the company,
