A PROMISE FULFILLED

Some men possess the knack of doing things. Their executive in- stinct appears to be developed be- yond the average, and when they take hold Of project, that project is as good as accomplished, Work to them becomes easy because thers is nO hesitation ln theiy methods not only that, but they seem to im' bue their co-worheTs with extra ambition and stamina, When the project of railing the unprotected portions of the streets and sideWalAs in Hyder was con- sidered by the Commercial Asso- citation at it's last meeting. Stanley Oaksmith. the newly appointed Dep- uSy U. s. Marshal, told that body that he would do what he could to further the welfare of Hyder. Since that time he has measured up the work to be done. and has had it done. personally Oanvassing the business men of the town for funds to carry on, and not only superins tending the worh but yielding saw and hammer with the men he had engaged. accomplishing ill little more than a day what looked like . formidable undertaking.
 Thanks to Marshal Oaksmith the town is now safe for pedestrians on the darkest and slipperiest night. The High Dive Club" may as we'll close their enrolInent book and pass into history.

FLAT STREET FIRE.
Continued from Page i.

ance Mr.. Dunton says he would have
sold all the goods for $1,000, but there is
no question that their value was much
more than that
At > O'Clock the firemen had checked
the flames where the two buildings cor
nered together and it looked from the
ground as though there was a possibili-
ty of keeping the flames in the Doolittle
building, but they already had gotten
into the attic and by $50 they blazed
up enough so it could be seen that there
would be heavy loss in the Crowell build
ing from fire and water. The fire went
the entire length of the attic but did not
get below that floor except where the two
structures joined. The building was
flooded with water, however, as at one
time five streams were being poured into

for the burning ruins, at & O'Clock. Wa
ter was played on the ruins until about
8 o'clock, and few firemen remained on
the job all night with two lines of hose
ready in case of a new outbreak.
Facts as to the origin of the fire are
very vague. Mr.. Wilson Of the Wilson
garage, says there was no fire in the
basement furnace of the garage. where
many persons thought the fire started.
He says he heard a noise in the east sec
ton of the garage and went in there to
see what caused it. He says that when he
opened the door he saw fire near the
elevator. and it looked to him as though
some burning substance had fallen down
the elevator shaft. None of the three
automobiles standing near was on. fire.
He telephoned to the fire station and
later Mr. Colgrove pulled in an alarm
from box 36. In a short time the fire on
the first floor seemed to be under control.
when flames suddenly burst forth under
the caves at the third story.
Eight secondhand cars were in the
garage, FIVE of them, including two
trucks, owned by Mr.. Wilson. 4 Metz
owned by Henry Grover and two Fords
owned by Byron J. Waldron, were de-
stroyed.

Woman's enterprise., 1921-12-16
Held at Chattanooga, Tennessee,
October 24-28, 1921.

The Confederate Reunion at Chat
tanooga was from some view points
a grand success, and yet some bad
features stood out very prominently
that should be remedied at the Re-
union at Richmond, Virginia in 1922.
The soldiers are getting old, and
after a hard days travel, possibly
two days on crowded coaches, sitting
up as most of them usually do as It
is characteristic of most old men to
economize on all corners as the price
of berth means much to many of
the old veterans.
On their arrival at the depot in
Chattanooga, many an old veteran
was escorted through the crowded
streets by small Boy Scout to the
headquarters for an assignment where
he would be taken care of during the
Reunion. At the headquarters auto
mobiles were provided, but oftimes a
soldier walked accompanied by his
wife who was equally as feeble.
The autos played an important part
in this Reunion or rather on the sur
face they we're much in evidence, but
failed in measure to carry out the
idea which they portrayed. Hun
dreds of autos had signs on them
"Free Rides" to Veterans. Did you
motive how few veterans were riding
in "Free Autos?" Did you notice
how many Veterans were riding on
the big busses that promised them
three hours drive for $1.25, and took
them out and brought them back in
two hours, and what could they do
about it? Did you notice the great
number Of autos tina: stood idle with
the inviting sign "Free Rides to
Veterans, and scores Of old Veterans
eager to ride and the drivers no where
to be found.
A great many Of the veterans were
accompanied by their wives or some
friend who did not feel that a ride was
coming to them, and the old veterans
could not 60 alone, hence many de-
sired drive was not taken; consequent
ly the old soldiers sat on the steps
Of the hotel and wished and wished
in vain.
Now that the veterans are getting
older there should be some provision
made for those who accompany them
to be given the same privileges as
accorded the veterans. There are
numerous entertainments slated free
Woman's enterprise., 1921-12-16
SIDE LIGHTS ON THE
j. E. Y. REUNION

for veterans, which might have meant
to include wife or friend who came
for the purpose Of keeping watchful
eye over him who was too feeble to
cope with the situation of a crowded
street car in an effort to get to the
scene Of amusement. And many a
veteran did not go because he could
not 60 alone. and their were so few
to ask whether his son or friend could
60 also.
Did you notice the ausence of MEN,
BERS Of the many business CLUBS
that usually have sign on the lapel
of their coat which says, ASK ME, I
LIVE HERE? Our old veterans had
to ask each other, and they did not
know and the most of them did not get
very far from the headquarters.
The old veterans ball at the Taber-
nacle was a grand success. Oh! what
glory it was to see these old soldiers
dancing the old time dances with the
old ladies, the middle-aged ladies and
the beautiful young ladies. Taken all
in all this was the crowning event Of
the U. c. V. Reunion at Chattanooga.
The old veterans ball did not last
long enough, the old soldiers were
disappointed because it broke up so
early giving way to the younger ele-
ment.
Too bad one night could not have
been theirs, as three full nights were
turned over for the entertainment of
the maids, the sponsors and their
friends, besides most of the hotels
offered dancing amusement every
night.
Ladies, young and otherwise, please
do not take offense when I say that
great many of the ladies did not show
the proper courtesy to the very ones
who were the direct cause for these
ladies to assemble in the city of Chat
tanooga, to vie with each other and
enjoy another Reunion.
The prominent soldiers who by
wealth or influence and valor had won
them their title, came in for round
after round of attention; but did you
notice the old soldiers in their soiled
clothes or their old uniforms that
have been worn to many reunions, and
possibly at home because his clothes
were limited. In comparison to the
fine looking we'll dressed soldiers, how
many Of these poor looking old war
riors were approached and greeted by
chaperones, sponsors and maids of
honor. The observer regrets to state
that not enough attention was given
Woman's enterprise., 1921-12-16

not pretty.
The observer accompanied one Of the
most beautiful maids to the booth to
be judged upon, and the escorts were
so scarce that one of the young men
who was in charge Of the booth said
she was So pretty he would like to
take her himself, but by chance little
sailor lad hove in sight and was asked
to have look at the young lady, and
ne took her to the dance. This same
young lady drew for the Tuesday eve
ming dance a It., Of the standing army
in Chattanooga, who to show his gal
lantry like So many escorts did like
wise, got drunk and she was forced
to call on the writer to escort her
back to the hotel. This was not the
only time the writer was called on to
help some young lady out who had
gotten stuck with a dancing partner
who had let old John Barleycorn get
the best of him.
This action cannot be helped at So
cial functions, as so many men think
drink is proper, and the young
ladies indulge also, which makes it
50 much harder on the balance Of the
fair sex who refrain from drinking
and smoking also.
These young ladies who came as
sponsors and maids, proudly dressed
themselves in dainty silks and satin,
every one a flower beautiful to behold.
Every young lady had taken much
trouble with her gown and hair, and
it was impossible for her to look any
better, aiming to please the young
men with whom they were to dance.
And did you notice the clothes the
young men wore? Outside of the
military men, how many dress suits
did you see? How many men went
to any trouble to add to his personal
attirs. In Richmond don't let the dis
courtesies of Chattanooga be repeated
JOHN JAMES.
