Charles ]. Custer.

l
Good-natured. blg.hearted, jolly, ioyi
al Charlie Custer, the hotel man Of Tip
tonville, is dead.
The sad news flashed over the wire
to friends and relatives in many Yves
Tennessee towns Monday evening from
Tiptonville when the end of this mans
useful and noble life came at about s
clock.
Mr.. Custer had not been we'll for some
weeks and bis daughter, Mrs. Winnie
Custer Alexander, wife of Richard Alex
ander, of this city, had just returned
from months stay with him. When
she left his hotel at Tiptonyille last Fri
day, his condition was thought to have
been very much improved, as he was
able to be up and around the Office in
the hotel. But he suddenly grew worse
and the end came within a few hours
| after she had reached her home in this
city.
The writer OF this little sketch has
known Charlie Custer and known him
well for many years. He was a good
man, kind-hearted man, loving hus-
band and indulgent father; consistent
citizen and Christian gentleman always.
He was born February 81, 1874, at
Troy, Mo-, being the eldest son and
fifth born child of Joseph Custer, of
Rockingham County, Va, his father
being well-to-do man and hotel keeper
of his section. His father died in 1868,
but his mother lived to be about 80
years old. Mr.. Custer secured fair
education in his youth and in 1862 be-
gan work as clerk on wharf boat at |
Columbus, KY, remaining some time,
then became clerk on packet steam
er. In 1870 he went to st. Louis as
hotel clerk, and in 1872 he located in
Humboldt, Tenn, taking a clerkship in
the office of the Mobile & Ohio road,
which position he held for more than
thirteen years. In 1886 he became pro-
prietor of the old Dunlap Hotel which he
managed in highly satisfactory man
1er to the travelling public and profitable
o himself. The Dunlap house burned
md Mr.. Custer went to Mobile for a
lumber OF years, engaged in the hotel
business, then to Bowling Green, Ky,
It the head OF good local hotel.
Last summer he had charge of hotel
It Dawson Springs, KY, and during the
winter be had charge Of country club
t Jackson. With bis wife he came here
arly in the spring for short visit and
few weeks later went to Tiptonville q
nd assumed the management of the v
lew Markham Hotel, where he re- n
1ained until his death.

price has advanced some during the past

SOME HINTS FOR BUILDERS
Great Care Should Be Taken in Selec-
ton of the Most Substantial
Roofing Material.

If you were without preparation or
plan, rudely placed in a. wilderness,
your first thought would be of food
supply and your next of shelter, for
these are the two most vital necessi-
ties of mankind. 1t is therefore
natural that the best thought, and
study are put upon these two essen
tials.
More forward steps have been
taken in the building industry in the
past fifteen years, as regards comfort,
service and architectural beauty than
in the fifty years previous.
Only in recent years has the hand
ling of cement in building work been
understood properly, and progress is
still constantly being made with it.
Modern hotels and Office buildings
are being equipped with sheet metal
mouldings and steel veenered doors.
Nearly every important change in
building construction is away from
the fire hazard Of wood.
One of the most significant develop
ments of recent years is the crushed
slate surfaced asphalt single which
is, on new construction and old, rapid
ly supplanting the wooden article.
There are many reasons for this. The
slate surfaced shingles add beauty to
any building-in fact, there is really
no comparison from an architectural
standpoint. Crushed slate of pleasing
tints of red or green, is employed as a
surfacing. The shingles are uniform
~ eight inches wide and are exposed
four inches to the weather. No paint
ing is necessary as the red or green
crushed slate is natural and therefore
cannot fade.
The purchaser, however, should
guard himself against buying slate
surfaced single that is not guaran-
teed by a reliable and responsible
manufacturer. There are so many
kinds of roofing and shingles on the
market today each claiming to be the
best that it becomes necessary for the
buyer to get some satisfactory assur-
ance that the roofing or shingles are
represented honestly.

Could Get in Our Lady

After the lady had climbed over you
she would have kept on to the other
end of the bench where now there is
nothing but a sullen space
I began to insult myself.
john exclaimed inward1y, what
do you know about the etiquette of the
street car? According to the newspa-
pers it is only Man who can be a
Hog on the street cars, and since you
are the original cause of blockading
the port when you moved over, You
must be the Hog!"
Then got so mad at myself that I
refused to talk to myself any fur
Their.

on the end seat with my mind made
up to stay there and keep the harbor

owners, unless one of them happens to
have a wooden leg.
Under ordinary circumstances four
into two won't go, but the Squeezer
cars defy the laws Of gravitation.
A Soueezer conductor can put TWEEN
ty-six into nine, and still have four
to carry.
For a man with small dining room
the Soueezer car has its advantage,
but when a stout man rides IN them
he finds himself supporting lot OF
strangers he never met before.
One morning / jumped on one or
those Squeezers feeling just like
two year old, full Of health and hap
piness.
During the first seven blocks three
men. fresh from distillery, grew up
in front OF ne and removed the
scenery.
One of them had to get out in
hurry. so he kicked me on the shlns
to show how sorry he was to leave
me.
One or the otAer tWo must

cause pretty soon he neglected to use
his memory and sat down in my lap.
When / demonstrated with him, ne
renl;ed that this is free country, and
r. he wished to sit down had no
business to stop him.
Then his friend pulled US apart. and
resumed the use of my lap.
During the next twenty blocks
had one of the worst daylight night
mares / ever rode behind.
The party who had been studying
he exhibits of the distillery became
diseased with the idea that my foot
