cent visitors from this county to
the fortune teller, Mrs. Forbes, in
Wayne county, was one of the
sore-heads, who has imagined foI

was counted out at primary cleo
ton held in this county some time
ago. 1t is said that the wizard
said "No, you were not counted
out; you just failed to get the
votes." If the fortune teller is as
reliable in all matters as in this.

w. T. O'Neal returned on last
Thursday from taking Louis
Names, the navy deserter, back to
his ship at Norfolk, Virginia.
William says he had a fine trip
and enjoyed it immensely. He
stopped off a day at the National

watched the big law-makers for
several hours. He says, though,

man-Rhodes-is a much bigger
man outhere in the district where
the Republican papers are con-
tinually blowing him up, than he
is in Washington-where nobody
seemed to know anything about
him.
w. G. Whitworth's store build
ing in Arcadia had a very narrow
escape from destruction by fire
last Friday night. Shortly after
midnight, Mr.. J. w. Whitworth.
who rooms up stairs over the store
was awakened from his sleep and
discovered that his bed was on fire
The lamp had either turned over
or exploded and set fire to the bed
ding. Mr.. Whitworth sprang from
the bed and succeeded in throwing
some of the burning bed clothes
out of the window. The heat ano
smoke nearly overcame him, ano
he rushed from the building ano
called for help. Two or three men
who were at Hempelman's saloon
hurried to his assistance and they
succeeded in putting out the
flames, not, however, until every.
thing in the room was destroyed
It was a close call for the entire
building and had the discovery
heen a few moments later it woulG
have been impossible to save it.
