Reports received from Mt. Mena in- dicate that the season at that popular summer resort is going to be very sue cessful, hundreds of people enjoying the cool mountain air and healthful location.
 Mir. Landes returned from there Tuesday smorning and reported over one hundred people enjoying the hos pitality of the big hotel, and all highly pleased with the resort and the man agement. Mrs. A.

 At an informal gathering at Mrs. Gathers rooms Monday evening Miss Moore favored select few with quite number of popular songs from herr repertoire, and all expressed them selves well pleased with her renditions and natural method of placing her tones. We hope Mena wiI have an opportunity to hear her again at no distant date
 Miss Moore has had five years expe- rience in teaching and has met with much success.

THE LOUISIANA EDITORS.
Returning from the Omaha Exposition
 They Will Stop at Mt. Mena.

Last Sunday afternoon the Louisiana editorial association passed through here on the way to Omaha, going from Shreveport over the Kansas City. Pitts burg and Gulf.
 It is understood that they are to re- turn Friday morning and stop over twenty four hours at Mt. Nena, 10 view the beauties and enjoy the cool ing atmosphere and lovely scenery of that new sumner resort
 Mena would be proud to have a visit from these distinguished moulders of public sentiment from our sister state to the south, knowing that we could show them the brightest, liveliest and healthiest two-vear old infant of a town it had been their pleasure to visit on this or any other trip.
 In fact so closely has Mena become allied with these friends at the south by the building of the great Port Ar thur Route, particularly with the great commercial city of Shreveport, that visit from these representatives of that state and city would surely prove mutually advantageous and in every way pleasing.
 1 We do not know that this can be ar ranged, but if it can, Mena will be X iad to extend Der hospitality to the visiting editors of the southland state.

 It is true that in this rapid. growing place many come and some go, but if there is or has been Dr. Rivers here he has not advertised the fact, and must have found Mena too healthy a place for hirc, so concluded to go to Sloan Springs.

A BIG FIRE.
Mena Suffered Her First Loss by Fire
 Last Friday Night.

Although our city is most two years old the first alarming fire occurred last Friday night at about 12:30 o'clock when w. S. Pryor's general merchan- disc store at the corner of Port Arthur avenue and De Queen street, and stock of goods were completely destroyed.
 The blaze was discovered on the in- side, near the front of the store, after 1t had gained great headway. The alarm was given by the firing of pis- tols and blowing of whistles, and in a short time it seemed that half the town was out to help fight the fire. The tire-b boys brought their hook and lad der wagon out, but the fire had gained such headway that it was impossible to make an effort to save anything, and their attention was given to the surrounding buildings The heavy rain that fell about an hour before the fire was great protection to them, wetting the roofs, so that the fire boys had no great task to keep them wet.
 It is complete mystery as to how the fire started. The store was closed shortly after o'clock in the evening, and no lamps had been lighted during the evening.
 The big fire-proof safe stood its test and protected the books of the Pryor Milling Co.,, but the books and papers destroyed. Mir. Pryor estimates his loss at $9, 000
 A Star reporter was informed by In- surance Agent E. A. Lilly that s4,sOo insurance was carried on the stock, $500 on the building and S400 on fixtures.
