Our townsman, Sol. N. Bunch, re-
Gently returned from visit of some
three weeks to Earl, Arkansas, and
reports dandy good time. He found
his brother-in-law, w. A. Weaver,
who is in the mill business and farm
ing, G. w. Essary, former trustee and
sheriff of this county, who owns a
large grocery, feed and furniture
business, Sol Lipe, who owns valuable
lands and is working it. All these
gentlemen are former Henderson
countians and each did his part to-
ward making Mr.. Bunch's stay at
Earl pleasant one. Unfortunately
the friends and relatives over there
fed Mr.. Bunch in manner which
might have have had something to
do with a touch of acute Indigestion,
from which he was i'll two or three

Cigarette Stump Believed tc
Have Caused Blaze
Last Night
DAMAGE ABOUT s2,5OO
Firemen Save Big Frame Structure
From Destruction-Cr0wd of 5000
Spectators Attracted by Blaze.

The abandoned ferry slip of the old
Washington-Alexandria Ferry at the
foot of King street, was partially de.
stroyed by fire shortly after z O'Clock
last night.
The fire started in the. east end OF
the structure and before the blaze
was subdued damage estimated al
$500 was done.
When the firemen arrived on the
scene dense black clouds of smoke
were issuing from the building, long
cne story frame affair. So dense was
the smoke that it kept the throng of
sightseers at bay. Approximately s.
900 persons were attracted to the
fire. among whom were many persons
enroute to church.
The origin of the fire has not beer
determined although it is supposed
that someone entered the place and
dropped lighted cigarette stump.
Tie building is owned by the Nor
felix and Washington Steamboat Com
pany and the loss is said to be COW
cred by insurance.
The firemen worked an hour be-
fore completely subdueing the fire.
Ft rtunately ther was no wind blow
ing at the time, otherwise the fire
men wouh have experienced difficult
2ty in keeping the fire confined to the
ferry slip.
Directly adjoining on the west side
of the place is the wholesale house of
H. Kirk and Son. At no time, how
ever, did the fire menace this build
ing.
