what we have to support the
line and to do these things they
said a survey was necessary
which would cost in Crittenden
Co.. about 100000. Several
prominent committees were ap-
pointed to see what could be
raised and several hundred dol
lars were promised on the floor
to be paid in when the whole
amount was secured.

Quite a romance eliminated
last Friday when Miss Minnie
Ballinger, most attractive
young lady Of the Post Oak sec.

were not forgotten.
Mr.. Henderson is a brother of
Mrs. Edgar Howerton.. and made
his home there for several
months last year.
The bride was an orphan, who
was reared and educated by Mrs.
Laura Howerton, with whom
she made her home, and is an
attractive girl, of whom Mr..
Henderson may we'll feel proud.
They will make their home in
Owensboro where the groom
now resides and has a lucrative
position.
The Record Press joins their
many friends in wishing them a

The dog In following was too late and
the wheels of the rear trucks of the
car passed over its body, almost cut

The first ten thud-deads shocked
me. looked up-saw that there were
scores OF girls at the windows. The
flames from the floor below were

As reached the scene OF the fire,
a mushroom of smoke hung over the
building. I glanced up, and on the
edge of the roof saw a young man
walking alone with his coat on his
arm. He appeared to be waiting for
the fire engines. But none was there.

him jump out into space. His over
coat parachuted in the air; moment
later he was lifeless on the sidewalk

There was living picture in each
window-four screaming heads OF
girls-waving their arms.

others They were all as alive and

other sirens sounded from several d.

One girl climbed onto a window

her back, Then she dropped into
