do so.
The work of rebuilding will
begin Immediately, in fact the
work of clearing away the
wreckage has already begun, and
will be pushed to completion as
soon as possible.
This company has always been
a great factor in the development
of the town and the Lubbock
trade territory, and their GUS
toners are scattered over several
counties, and they will all re-
joice to know that this establish
ment is only temporarily out of

This fire caused the heaviest
loss that has ever been sustained

safe in saving in all the fires
that have ever occurred in the
history Of the town though we
are over twenty years Of age.
And Boo this fr, a great number
OF people are losers. for the fact
that the building was filed full
1f merchandise un the basement
and first floor. while on the sec
oud floor many offices were furn-
ishe3 and occupied by lawy ers
doctors and real estate offices, all
well furnished and represent an
outlay of considerable cash.

Lenten Season.

Society had its last fling Tuesday
evening before it doned the sack clott
on Wednesday. At this writing We
can not tell how many made merry
on the Eve of Lent ont from whispers
We gather that almost every one took
advantage of the various entertain
ments that we're offered. The Turner
Masquerade took the place of the
Mardi Grass of southern cities and
without q doubt, the scene was quite
a. gay and fantastic as ever was q
Mardi Grass. The Opera House and
Star Hall also entertained large
crowds.
Today (Wed.) is Ash Wednesday,
the first day of Lent. Easter will fall
on April 16 this year. ...-...
Last Sunday the Lenten regulations
we're read to the congregation of the
Catholic church. High mass was
celebrated at 9 O'Clock this morning.
The Lutheran church holds regular
services every Wednesday evening at
7:30 O'Clock during the Lenten season,
as will also the Friendens church.
