Business Notice.

We find it again necessary
to call on some of onr friends
for their subscriptions. While
crops have been good and the
prices high, our receipts from
subscriptions have not been
up to former years. This is
due, we know, to the over
sight of our friends who owe
us these little amounts. While
they are each small they ag-
gregate quite little sum that
would greatly relieve Us II we
could get it now. Please let
US hear from you at once.
AS ever your friend,

il was loaded leaked out in some way, and IL
was set on tire by some or the lanterns After
vainlv trying to extinguish the flames, the
trainmen ran the burning car onto the south
end of the passenger siding, and left it to burn.
soon after there was an explosion of a barrel
OF Gasoline inside ofthe car, which knocked
ont the end and sides. The explosion broke
down the telegraph lines south OI here.and as
a result All com mmunication in that direction
was interrupted for several hours and trains
delayed. The explosion also set fire to an
other car on the freight siding A few min
utes after the first explosion. another barrel
of gasoline in the burning car exploded and
threw gasoline $50 feet In the air where II
formed gas and exploded. forming tremen-
dous ball OF fire that was seen miles away.
The ball Of fire in the air was es large ~ an
ordinary box car and made beautiful spec
tacle. At eight O'Clock the wreckihg train
arrived and proceeded to clear away the burn
ing wreck. with them came the linemen
who soon repaired the telegraph lines,and at
ll.SO the road was again in working order,
