FOREST FIRES.
Summer Cottages at Sulphur Springs Narrowly Escape
 Burning.

For several days past forest fires have been raging in the vicinity of Sulphur Springs, and they have done a great deal Of harm and des- troyed considerable property. The fencing in the. rear of the Danning- ton place, near Sulphur Springs, was destroyed Saturday.
 Friday the ladies living at Sul- phur Springs had 9 very exciting time The forest fires had burned up the fences around the cottages near the Springs and only hard work on the part Of the Sulphur Springs fire brigade, composed of Mesdames J. M. Elliott, J. w. Withers, c. c. Reed, J ", Craw- ford, Gill Martin and others, saved the cottages from destruction. Not a single man was about the Springs ard the ladies were forced to get out with fire tows and fight the flames, and this they did, and bravely too. By their work they saved all the lovely cottages about Pine Bluffs summer resort, and when their husbands came out from town Friday evening the ladies had some thrilling experiences as fire fighters to tell,
 Saturday news was also received of forests fires on Caney Bayou, five miles west Of the city. Several pannels of fence were destroyed on Mr A. F. Dreyfus place, and a negro living in that neighborhood is reported to have lost his entire crop of cotton.
 If it does not rain soon there is no telling how much damage may be done by the forests fires.

Senator Bacoa, of Georgia, was in Washington this week, He thus sized up the condition of the people or his State and section If you put man in wilderness he will ultimately get out of it some of the comforts of life, and so did our peo- pie. They are now making a little money; not much, but they are growing stronger and steadily i'm
 proving. Not a bit of it is due to tariff legislation. Things had to get better with them, fer nothing could get worse with them. They had no credit and were compelled 10 raise what they consumed. Out of this diversity they are emerging and will in due time become tue people they were before they sank almos into the depths Of despair There has been some talk in the North about tae increase in the price of cotton. There is no increase that we know of Cotton still remains at the same low figure. If the in- crease in the price of our crops would correspond with the increase in the price of wheat, the cotton growers of the South would be de lighted, but there is as yet no indi- cation that there will be ary great rise in the staple which the Southern country produces.

Present quotations OF Cotton are low,
regarded by experts as being near cost OF
production; hence the preference Of some,
perhaps many, to hold rather than sell
ing at present prices.
Being assured OF this fact by cores
pondence reaching me daily, take this
method of giving notice to the public,
and especially those who have addressed
me, that I am prepared to advance Cash
or Groceries, or both, on all Cotton that
may be shipped me with request to hold;
will take pleasure in liquidating matur-
ing obligations of planters or merchants
in the Interior that may be payable at
Shreveport, or by exchange on New York,
st. Louis or New Orleans. Or cash may
be drawn on drafts attached to bills of
lading covering cotton.
NV charges are reasonable, and storing
facilities unsurpassed, and the lowest ex :
listing rate of insurance in Shreveport is
secured.
Will be pleased to further correspond
with shippers of Cotton, either for sale
on arrival, or for storage for an indefinite
ength of time.

from 30 to 80 and a cardinal in his old
age" Dumas, as he related this par
entail desire, glanced toward Rossini and
added; II should prefer to close my life
as an illustrious composer. Mon cher
Rossini, when You enter room, the very

pride as he announces you"
Then turning to the company he con-
tinued: Announce, for instance, M. 10
