Echos of the Fire

Before the emoers of the fire
last Wednesday had hardly cool
ed work had commenced toward
rebuilding. Mr.. Ferguson put a
number of men at work cleaning
away the rubbish and cleaning
the bricks. He says that in
ninety days tine building will be
finished and old occupants of the
store rooms back in their accus-
toned places. Mr.. Locke will
remove into his old store room as
soon as the damage to the build
ing is repaired, perhaps in two or
three weeks. MIR. Ferguson will
put up two-story building on
his corner, but will not have an
Opera House on the sscond floor.
We are informed that all losses
have been or are in the course of
being satisfactorily adjusted. Mr..

safe containing the Abstract books
of the County, which went
through the fire, that the records
were not damaged.

of this city announced himself as
a candidate for the Democratic
nomination to Congress to repre-

Wedding Bells

On Saturday, May 8 at s p. m.
Mr.. e. II. Ham was married to
Mrs. Gertrude Barney In the
presence of the family and few
invited friends. Her pastor w.
A. Mclean officiating. These
young people have known each
other from childhood and we hope
for them bright future. Mr..
Ham was lately connected with
the Montgomery Telephone Co.
and will soon be cashier of the
Bank at Buell.. He is well known
and we'll liked by all the people.
Mrs. Barney, his bride, is de-
cended from two of the oldest
families of Lincoln County, Mo.
Her grandfather, John Gentry
known familiarly as Uncle Jack
was well known and efficient
minister in the Christian church
OF Lincoln County and served
hisipeople faithfully in all minis
tries of love and faith and at the
same time by emery and industry
he obtained large, good farm
and raised his family in comfort if
not in affluence. Her father w.
l.. Carr is so well known to every
one in this part o: the State and
stands 80 well among the people
that we can safely say she
decended from worthy people and
we hope the future of these young
people will be free from all clouds
and that the sun may never set on
their pathway.

The Partizan Senate

The record of the work of the
State Senate for this session is
about completed. 1t has taken
great care to see what bills
Governor Hadley approved
and then promptly killed them.
For rank partizan body, legis-
lating from motives OF blind
partizanship, rather than what is
best for the people of the State, it
has distinguished itself. Hadley
was elected by the aid of thous-
ands Of Democratic votes. lire
spective OF party lines the people
are with Hadley. The blind
partizans of the Senate are poor
politicians and in due course OF
time and events the people of the
State will tell them SO by burrying
them under such an avalanche of
ballots that many of them will
never be beard of in public life
again. Governor Hadley has not
recommended a single bill that
is not in the interest of the people
and the people know it and are
with him first last and all the

National IoeIess Refrigerator

At the request of Col. w. w.
Culver we thoroughly investigated
the National IceIess Refrigerator
which Col. Culver's Company is
now Offering to the people OF this
County. The invention is q novel
adaptation ofthe old refrigerating
plan of our grandmothers, who
you will remember cooled the
milk and butter and meats by
hanging them along side of the
sold moss covered bucket, which
hung in the WELL" The idea was
good then, it is good now and
"The National" does all that IL
claimed for it, that is, keeps your
food stuffs cool and sweet aud
good to eat without ice. We feel
that we can heartily endorse the
National Iceless Refrigerator. Ia
vestigate for yourself and we feel
quite sure you will see the econo-
my and convenience of having
one of the Iceless Refrigerators
installed at your home. Col.
Culver has employed an able
representative and equipped a
wagon to call at your house, show
you the refrigerator, and install
it at your premises.

your help in the bleachers.

"Eminently Wise" Indeed?

The St. Louis Republic says,
among other things, regarding the
submission amendment:
"There should be no hesitatio n
as to the Senate's course. The
tax rider is eminently wise and
the Senate should stand by it."
Eminently wise, indeed! Wise
to submit to the people for adop-
ton an unconstitutional, constitu-
tional amendment. You can fool
the people some of the time, bat
not this time. The Senators, who
try to fool them will have tc
answer for it, all too soon fol-
their political we'll being.

DIED SUDDENLY.

Mrs. Mary Melton, the wife of
Prigeon Melton, died at their home
here Wednesday afternoon about
3 o'clock. Mrs. Melton was as
sisting in preparing the noon meal,
when she complained Of feeling
badly, and began to sink rapidly.
A few months ago Mrs. Melton
suffered stroke of paralysis, from
which she never fully recovered,
though recently she had been in
apparently good health. The sud-
denness of her death came as a
great shock to the family and rela-
tives, who have the sympathy of
many friends.
To Mrs. Melton we can pay no
higher tribute than to state that
she was conscientious, and had
proven herself a good woman in
all the relations of life-mother,
wife, neighbor and friend. In that
particular she leaves her devoted
children rich heritage.
Funeral services were held at
the residence, conducted by Rev.
W. r. Acuff, yesterday afternoon,
and the interment was in Camden
Cemetery.
