Then and Now.

Through the courtesy of F. L.
Antram, now of Beleherville, Tex,
the ARDMoREITE is in receipt of a
copy of the first paper printed in
this city-the Ardmore Courier Of
Friday, Sept. 21, 1888, of which
Mr.. Antram was publisher. And
most fayorably does it compare
with many of the country weeklies
of today. Vol. l, No. 1, is a Z
column folio well filed with local
lore, and probably, at that time, a
liberal advertising patronage. In
glancing through its columns we
find an article headed The First
Bale" which contains interesting
figures compared with price of cot
today. The article reads: The
first bale of cotton of the season
was brought to town Wednesday
by Rev. N. Jester, who lives on
Hickory creek, three miles west Of
here, and was bought by our en-
terprising merchant, R. Hardy, at
8; 10. The bale weighed SO
pounds and graded midd,ing. The
following contributions were given
as premium: r. Hardy, 81; j.
&. Chitwood, 81; Frensley Bros,
81; o. G. Moore, 81; L. o. Rob-
ertson, 81; 81. J yarbrough, 81;
E. E. Bone & Bro, $1-making a
premium of 81. Total amount.
$50. go.

FIRE AT DAVIS.
A Handsome Block Of Brick Buildings
Destroyed. with contents.

About midnight last night the
fire demon held high carnival at
Davis, and what was yesterday a
block of brick build
ings is today a mass of smoldering
ruins and blackened walls. The
fire, which started from some un-
known cause, was first discovered
in the drug store of j. C. Roam.
This building, if we are rightly
informed, was about the center of
the block, on Main street, and
from this point the work of de-
struction began, travelling both
east and west. The first building
on the west adjoining the drug
store was occupied by j. R. Nc
Lood & Co. with a stock of hard
ware. From this the w. L. Bird
dry goods house on the corner
readily, and together they went
down in ashes.
On the other end of the block
the raging demon was at the same
time doing destructive work. The
postoffice and book store of G. H.
Myers were speedily wiped out.
Then came Prince Bros, dry
goods and gents furnishing house,
then the dry goods house of Abney
& Cliff. At this point the fire
was checked, and the destruction
of o. G. Moore's hardware house
narrowly averted.
The block which burned is
known as the Hemming block, and
was owned by c. C. Hemming OF
Gainesville.
:. The contents of the different
houses we're completely destroyed
and the total loss will be heavy.
No estimate of the loss could al
this time be obtained.

and that his married life had been
very unpleasant; that he and his
wife had separated on several oc-
casions and that a year ago they
had agreed that the wife get q di-
vorce and that they would part
forever. The professor predicted
that inside of four weeks the trav-
cling man would meet and marry
his first love, with whom he had
quarreled previous to his marriage.
The traveller smilingly paid the
fee and left. To the reporter later
in the day, he said Prof. Babbo is

was the truth. ! will be married

ENGLAND's GRIP ON THE SEA.
Her Control of the Worlds Ocean
Commerce II Over IS
Per Cent.

Thanks to their aggressive govern
ment, the british carriage and control
of the worlds commerce is over IS per
cent. Fifty other nations share to the
extent of As per cent. or less. More
than so per cent. of the worlds ship
ping in terms of potential tonnage is
built in Great Britain. Less than 20
per cent. is built by the so other coun-
tries. In 1872 only IA per cent. of the
steam tonnage launched in the world
was built by the so countries outside Of
the United Kingdom. The United
States is the only nation that is indie
pendent of British yards. Our regis
try law has attended to this. Since 1893
American shipping must be American
built. The United States is the only
country outside of Europe that can
build to perfection every kind of ship
that goes TO sea. Thank our registry
law for that.
British supremacy at sea and in COM
merce was obtained more than 200
years ago. For. the command of the
sea, and of trade, and the riches of
the world, Great Britain has protect
ed ship building and ship owning, while
most of the nations did nothing for
these two great interests. Not only her
legislative power, but her armed au-
thority, has been exerted vigorously.
She has fought bloody wars, overcome
inferior powers, trapped rivals into
treaties, spent millions upon millions
in supporting steam lines, and scores
upon scores of millions for the build
ing and maintenance of an unequaled
navy for general intimidation. Vast
sea power, immense wealth and prevail
ing prosperity have been the reward.
All these things, with other advantages,
have been gained by the use of ship
ping, but without this fundamentally
nothing would have been secured

DISSATISFIED.

And means for words that will not come;
He lays his head upon my knee
And signs. poor dog. for he is dumb.
Dear fellow. do you envy us
These hooking tongues? Our hearts are
dumb.
They culver with pent-up desire.
And moan for speech that will not come
These idle words that lightly flow
And seem with careless ease to teach
The secret Of the Utmost soul
To all who hear-this Is not speech.
IT'S but the spray that sudden starts
Up from the sea when fierce winds blow,
And fills the air with plngent mist,
But never stirs the depths below.
Fate fiouts us all. To you, poor dog.
To you the gift of speech were bliss;
Yet those who hold 1t at itssbest
The joy of perfect utterance miss.
