DISASTROUS. FIRE.
GobIeviiIe's business section Nearly Wiped
Out Last Sunday.

The business portion of Goblevlle was
almost entirely wiped out by fire at an
early hour Sunday morning. The burn
ed district covers one entire block and a
portion of another. The fire, which
started in the rear of the meat market
of Bush K Baxter, burned tiercely
nearly all day and attracted crowds OF
spectators from miles around.
Owing To the blaze having such a
Roadway before it was discovered, the
local fire department, which consists of
chemical engine, was unable to cope
with it. The meat market is in the CEN
ter Of long row of business houses, all
of which were of wood, and the fire soon
began to spread in both directions at a
rapid rate and jumped across the street,
taking several buildings on that side.
The fire took every business place in the
village except the brick stores of Saul
Frank and j. G.. Clark, the hotel and G.
ID. Myers furniture store, all Of which
are somewhat isolated from the section
that burned
Considerable property was saved from
several of the stores before the fire
reached them. The goods were removed
from many residences in close proximity
to the fire, but none of the houses were
destroyed. Several of the people liveo
/ above their stores and barely escaped
( losing their household goods. The loss
! is probably about $4,000, with but little
! insurance.
The stores and other business places
destroyed are: Bailey Il Bush drug store
and grocery; the postoffice; Myers Bros.
drug and grocery store; l.. o. Grahamt
hardware store; Bush Il Baxters mea
market: Mrs. Lees millinery store; J. p
Smiths bakery: Vickers & Redding:
hardware store; DIR. Hutf's office; A. NJ
Wilcox's barber shop; j. w. Tuxbury'
bicycle shop; M. j. Buckner's grocery
and residence; the opera house; the barbe
shop of Frank Sheldon: the Academy o
Music and Odd Fellows hall; j. Grim !
shoe shop: Aliens store house; l.. Q
Graham's machine and vehicle shop
Howes jewelry store, and Bert Jessup'
harness shop.
The buildings destroyed were owned
by w. S. Crosby, Myers Bros, Bush
Bailey, Bush * Baxter. John Clement
Harry Huff, Vickers q Kidding, DR.. g
w. Huff, Saul Frank Mr.. Darling, Nh
Howes, Bert Jessup, CT. Wise aud NJ. j
Buckner.
The origin of the fire is unknown
though by some it is believed to hav
been of incendiary origin. A portion o
| the burned district will DrobablV be re
built at once.

The Christmas Dinner

In spite of the fact that the word dys
pepsia means literally bad cook, it will
not be fair fer many to lay the blame on
the cook if they begin the Christmas
Dinner with little appetite and end it
with distress or nausea. 1t may not be
fair for any to do that-let us hope so
for the sake of the cook! The disease
dyspepsia indicates bad stomach, that
is weak stomach, rather than bad
cook, and for weak stomach there is
nothing else equal to Hoods Sarsaparilla.
1t gives the stomach vigor and tone,
cures dyspepsia, creates appetite, and
makes eating the pleasure it should be.

Trouble has already begun with broth
er Kenoyer OF the new Lawton paper,
the Tribune. Over the position taken
by the paper on some local question, he
claims enemies have been made of those
who think differently, and have even
carried il so far that one man "openly
and directly insulted" him in the post
office; and another who had business
with one of the Tribune's employees
completely ignored" the editor. The
fact that editor Kenoyer notices such
trifies is positive proof of his ineXperience
as "A country editor If he is so unfor-
tunate as to continue in the business
for any length of time his cuticle will
become impenetrable to such trifiing
thrusts as those mentioned above.
