THE CAUSE OF THE WRECK.

1t WAS said by the Seaboard Air Line
people yesterday that spreading rails
as at first reported had nothing to do
with the derailment of their train Fri
day night, but that the accident was
due to the breaking of the forward pc
destal under the baggage car. AS q
matter of fact, the rails did not spread.
The baggage and express cars We're the
only ones which left the tracks, and on
account OF the slow rate of speed no
one was injured. The train was not
making over II miles an hour. Pas
sengers were transferred TO another
train and experienced delay OF only
two hours and thirty-dve minutes. The
track was cleared by 6 o'clock ycster-
day morning.

Informal callers should be most care
full to avoid the hours for meals.
To drop an Unwelcome aeq0aintanc,
one merely omits sending cards.
Do not apologize too much for not
having called before. Your neglect to
do SO has probably not been observed.
Never impose yourself upon your
friends unless you are feeling well and
are reasonably sure Of making yourself
agreeable.
Do not offer to your hostess the slight
of q hurried call, nor be abseni-mindsd,
nor constantly consulting your watch.

A BUSINESS INDICATOR.
A Dozen Where Formerly
One Suficed.

AS simple item in the life of a
busy town the dray wagon is not
without interest to one who has
been in and about the place for
twenty years. Time was, and it
don't seem very far back, when
Henry Cook, with an ordinary
farm wagon and a span of black
mules did the drayage for Vinita
and wasn't busy half the time
either. Later George Collins ap-
peared on the scenevwith another
wagon and a pair of diminutive
donkeys, and SO from year to year,
as population and business has in
creased, dray wagons have mul-
tiplied till number of men and
teams find constant employment.
The drayage is large item of
expense in the annual expendi-
lures of the big stores, the lumber
yards and wholesale houses.
A few years ago Henry Cooks
body was found drowned in the
mill pond on Bull creek, either by
his own hand or by accident. The
"professional" card of Henry
Cook, dTayman, is still displayed
at the COBB hotel along with many
others, in date and out of date, a
relic of decade of transition and
change.
