Regrets.
Nobody loves fat man.
That's a plant we often hear.
It's true In every season.
Every day of every year.
Suppose the fat mans aching
With most atrocious pain.
Does he get any sympathy8
He looks for It in vain.
Suppose the frosts of winter
Nip his carcass fore and aft
They say he's well upholstered
Keeping warm's an easy graft
Or when he melts in summer
No one rushes to his aid
Unless II be to profit by
The GOODNESS of his shade
Or II he's on a sick bed
And they want TO operate
Some wag will say they better blast
His works TO penetrate.
True no one loves a fat man
He's useless near and far
But he makes model anchor
In the game of tug-of-war.

WIDENING THE STATE
HIGHWAY THROUGH HERE

State Highway Commissioner
Frank Buffum was in this city Thurs
day working to widen the state high
way, which passes through this city,
to standard width. He has secured
the necessary land, where the road
was narrow, for this purpose between
Louisiana and Renick, according to
the Centralia Guard.
The standard width is 40 feet and
the fact that certain sections of the
road were narrow than this has kept
the North State Highway from being
officially recognized. Mr.. Buffum, &C
cording to the Centralia paper, j:
buying the land where it is not do
mated.
Work of placing this highway il
condition has been going on in variouI
sections for several weeks. The roat

COMPANY SAVE SHOE
FROM BURNING SAT-

The timely arrival and efficient
work of the Mexico fire department
saved the international Shoe Co.,
plant in this city from being destroyed
by fire shortly before midnight, Sun
day. As it was only a small portion
Of the structure was damaged and the
plant did not lose any time because Of
the FIRE.
W. b. Marshall night Waterman at
the plant, discovered the fire shortly
before midnight. He turned in an
alarm and in a few minutes the fire
department had arrived. The blaze
was under the floor in n end Of thu
building and in such a position thai
two large holes had to be cut through
the brick wall Of the structure before
it could be reached.
The management Of the factory
were much pleased with the work Of
the fire department and say had ii moi
been for the prompt response anc
good work the building would have
been seriously damaged if not a tota
loss. The fire is thought to have beer
caused by spontaneous combustion il
the separator which sucks the dusr
and scraps from the machines. Thil
plant is one of the leading industries
of Mexico and its shutting down as
result of any damage by fire woulC
have thrown out of work fully 2Ot
