friends, a faithful officer feels that he
not only has claims on those nearest

usually bold to ask the votes of those
whom he has served well and faith

the office he now fills and he is sure
he is not immodest in asking the good
people of our city to approve his SER

electing him to the office of City
Treasurer. His reports to the coun-

curate to the cent, and he has been
careful in administering every trust
Mr.. George believes the people ap-

A SUCCESSFUL
BUSINESS man
HAS ANNOUNCED

Another good, solid and safe bust
ness man offers as candidate for
Alderman this morning,
In the Fourth Ward, Mr. T. o. Wat
kins has consented to allow his name
to be used for this position.
This gentleman needs no introduc-
ton to our people. Coming here sew
eral years ago with no resources what
ever, he engaged in the machine shop
business on a scale as small as any
one ever dared venture a start. Put
ting his own shoulder to the wheel
of progress then so general in this
city, he climbed steadily. No hired
laborers ever worked harder for pro-
motion and expansion than T. o. Wat
kins; day by day, month by month and
year by year he nursed an infant in
dustry, and today no city, whether
large or small can boast of a more
complete foundry and machine shop
than his.
Good business judgment and close
application to it's every working de-
tail did it.
Mr.. Watkins served the city two
years ago as alderman, giving that
same business ability to his office as
he did in his private affairs, and his
record stands out unblemished. His
reign as mayor pro tenn of this city has
not been forgotten. During this pc
\ Rod he was a terror to the evil doer
Records will show that the city was
ridden of many bad characters, while
others were forced to seek more Sc
cluded spots. HIS unrelenting hand
as police justice was abhored by those
who dared transgress the law. He
stood for good government and Nor
ality and backed up his sentiments
by actions. He stands for the SAME
today, and will be found cooperating
in advancing it, if his people elect hin
to Office.
No, people will make a mistake
in electing to office self-made sue
cessful business man and in this cas-
they have, the opportunity of doing SC

ton of Bulgaria's independence has
been made at the ancient capital of
Tirnova. The cabinet made the proc
lamation and it was signed by Prince

claimed himself car The declara-

mean war between Bulgaria and Tur-
key. Bulgaria has been preparing for

for the mobilization of troops have
been sent everywhere in the country
1t is expected that three hundred and
fifty thousand fighting men will be in
the field within week. 1t is report

4 BIG FIRE At VERNON
1t Started In Drug Store and Spread
Rapidly-Losses Seem to Be
Covered BY Insurance.

T Vernon, Texas, Oct. 4.-This morn
ting shortly after 3 o'clock, fire was
discovered in ]. ]. Fain's drug store,
land at that time had evidently been
burning several minutes, as good
Roadway had been gained, and the fire
spread rapidly. 1t burned out about
daylight, causing a total loss between
$4,000 and 100000. Exact statements
cannot be obtained of insurance, but
the losses seem well covered. How
the fire originated is not known. Fol-
lowing is a partial list of the losses:
B e. L. Pierce, clothing store, loss
not given, but will probably be SO 1000;
amount of insurance unknown.
]. J. Fain, drug store, loss $4,000;
insurance, $4,000
& Lewis & Maricks, meat market, loss
$4,000; insurance, $1,000.
Vernon Hardware company, loss
$4,000; insurance, $4,000.
j. A. bearing, restaurant and room
ing house, loss total, but figures not
given.

j. d. Hagler's loss on building &C.
cupled by +rOOmlnS mousse and reStau-
rant, and also building used by mov-
ing picture show, $4,000; insurance
unknown.
The building occupied by the Wag-
goner National Bank and the Gibbons
Dry Goods company was damaged by
the flames. Stocks of goods in several
other nearby stores were carried into
the streets for safety, and the loss and
delay in business that will result
from these hurried move-outs will in
cease the totals considerably
Many telegraph and telephone wires
burned and repairs cannot be made
for several days, as the lines are in
a badly crippled condition and some
new supplies must be received for the
system.
There was much excitement during
the fire, but no one sustained injuries.
The buildings destroyed were in the
main business section of town. 1t is
probable the property owners will
erect new structures on the lots with

The automobile as IA fire department
vehicle comes in for high praise and
the horse-drawn wagon for back
handed slap in the annual report of the
Boston department, recently made
public. Commissioner Wells, who
writes the report, is strongly in favor
of the motor vehicle both for carrying
fire lighting apparatus and for the use
of chiefs. "From the viewpoint of
safety to riders aud to the public on
the street" says the commissioner,
''the record of accidents shows greatly
in favor of the automobile. To the
observer this may not appear to be 80,
but the fact remains that in the thou
sands of miles covered with the auto
mobiles no injury to persons has oc-
CURED, while in the same period dis
trict chiefs have been thrown from
their wagons on several occasions, and
one pedestrian has been killed and sew
eral injured by being knocked down ty
these fire wagons. The automobile in,
sKillful hands is easily and promptly
controlled; the horse is not. !"
