The following extracts were taken
from a letter written to Capt. j. r.
Pulliam at Sulphur Springs to a
comrade in Ardmore. The entire
letter would be excellent reading,
but for brevity we select as follows:
Prospects for the reunion are
brilliant. | am pleased to know
this, for l can assure you that the
general outlook here is a long ways
ahead of what / expected to find.
There is, in reality, natural ad-
vantages here that surpasses any
thing in this country. and l am
glad that a good opportunity will
be afforded our old soldier friends
to come and enjoy themselves. The
people here are in good fix, and
seem to be full of enterprise.

took a bath. This is just out of

be done, but / am sure that the
whole people all around where !
have been are waking up in anti
cipation of a grand time"

HOTEL wIsNoR DESTROYED.
Fire Completely Guteed This Handsome
structure This Morning.

AOOuJ y. OO " OAOSh lhiS W tuoy
morning our people were aroused
by the shooting of fire arms, Ard
more's fire alarm.
Those at distance were some
time in locating the fire and hopes
were Frightening that wherever it
was it had been suhdued.
Presently an onmious fash ap-
peared, then all was dark again.
So sudden was this that eye wit
nesses at distantce could not locate
it. They mad not long to wait,
however, when a blaze shot heav-
onward through the roof of the
Wisnor hotel.
In the meantime Ardmore's fire
fighters were on the scene and the
battle begun.
No one knows how the fire orr
ginated, but it was discovered in
what might be termed a lumber
room on the third floor, where the
present management had some
plunder stored, and in every like
lihood was the result of spontan-
eous combustion.
Quickly did the fire spread in all
the rooms on the third floor, many
of the guests loosing their apparel
and effects, yet glad to get down
the fire escapes.
For a time it seemed that the
fire boys were victors and the
fire would be extinguished ON the
the third floor, but fate willed it
otherwise. The water supply was
limited and to this fact alone is due
the destruction of the entire build
ing. The boys fought nobly and
persistently and at the time the
supply was cut off there must have
been over an inch and one-half of
water on the third floor. This
was between and Z O'Clock.
Gradually the fire burned through
the second story below, and here
the work of destruction ragged again
The fire engine in the meantime
had been pumping water from the
cistern on West Main street into
the one at the crossing of Springer
and Main. This gave the boys
fresh ammunition, and right we'll
did they use it, but this too gave
out, and during the morning hours
the interior of the building kept
falling in leaving only the black
ened stone walls three stories high
standing.
The upper portion of the brick
front fell with a crash about
O'Clock.
The fire will smolder now at least
for couple of days.
Considerable of the hotel furni-
ture was saved from the building,
there being ample time and plenty
willing hands to assist.
The loss on the third floor, how.
ever, is total and there Mrs. Hal
and daughters had most of theil
effects.
The building, which was an i'm
posing structure and the pride OF
the city, was erected in 1894 at {
cost of ST. 900. and was completed
i'll July, exactly five years ago.
The present owners of the build
ing are C.. ID. Carter and his mother
Mrs. B. w. Carter, and the mem
bers of Solomon E. Jackson's es
tate.
The hotel was under the manage
ment of Mrs. Lou Hall and daugh
ters. whose loss will be quite heavy

ture.

DEALING WITH LUMBERMEN.

There is an old retired merchant
in Detroit who delights In recalling
his expert ences when an active man
running a general store in one of
the nothern cities of the lower pen

II used 10 reap harvest when the
men were coming out OF the woods,'
he relates. ''They were not up in
styles, and about any old thing
would suit them provided the color
was right and the fit even passable.
But there are tricksters among them
and / had to have my wits,about me
in order to keep even with them.
"How much is that hat?" asked
strapping six footer, who arrived
one day with pocketful of money.
"Two fifty,' I replied.
"Then he informed me that be
always had the crowns of his hat
punched full of holes in order to
keep his head cool and his hair from
coming out, I soon had this at
tended to and he asked whatthe hat
was worth. Two fifty, | responded
in surprise, but he laughed at me
for asking such a price for damaged
goods. He had me and got his hat
for 81, while the jolly crowd with
him laughed at my expense. He
wanted 10 look at some fiddles, and
after pricing one at $40 concluded
to take it.
"Where's the bow2' he asked, as
/ was doing up the package.
"You only bough. the fiddle, |
laughed. The others saw the point
and laughed too. TIE giant tried
to bluff me, but / kept good humor-
ed, and got even on the hat by
charging him $l.50 for the bow.
l not only got even, but the others
were SO pleased with my Yankee
trick that they spent plenty of mon
ey with me-" Detroit Free Press.

AnieXperiment has been made in
England which has resulted in prov
ing that bees fly faster than carrier
pigeons, in fact, that little, insig-

beat the handsomest pigeon home,
in five cases out of six. This being
the case, tue future must witness the
supplanting of carrier pigeons by
carrier bees. The latter have much
to recommend them for this purpose.

Not Superstitious.

Whose umbrella is that?" yelled
the conductor as he entered the
smoking car of suburban train.
The timid little man started and

The timid little man grasped the

quicker to dry, and as be closed it
with nervous haste the conductor
continued.

Women as Criminals.

Views of celebrated San Fran
cisco Detective: Women as crimi-
nails are very smart, but they can
not keep crime hidden SO well as
man.
A woman is more desperate in
love affairs than in anything else.
Men get desperate about money
matters.
II a woman oil the criminal type
loves man she will, as rule, do
almost anything 10 win him.
1t is difficult to convict women Of
murder; the jurors are men, and they
sympathize.
Men don't want TO have women
hanged, but jury OF women might
go TO the other extreme.
Women don't like women as we'll
as men like men.
A woman has no sympathy for
another woman who has done wrong,
but often a man has sympathy for q
wrong.doing fellow, and will help
him out.
If a man doesn't like a man he
wants to have the other know it. 1t
is just the reverse between two wo-
men.
A half way decent woman will do
anything to hide a criminal who is
her lover
Get woman in tight place, aud
she will tell about a crime quicker
than q man would.
When woman is led TO believe
that man has given her up she is
apt TO tell about his crimes.
Men kill themselves when they
are broken; women don't. The wo-
men can stand it better, and are
more used to it.
Most of the suicides of women are
on account of desertion.
When a man is deserted he gets
another girl, and begins life over.
