The Butler Fire Department made one of the fastest runs in the history of that organization Saturday morning when an alarm of fire in the third ward was given, the scene of the fire being the residence property of J. D. Allen on west Fort Scott Street. An extremely high wind was blowing, and realizing the necessity of quick work the “boys” made record time. The fire which originated from sparks blown onto the roof, was first seen by Lee Browning and J. C. Crosswhite who were passing and gave the alarm. With the aid of a long garden hose, members of the fire department who were among the first on the scene | succeeded in getting the blaze under control, without great damage to the building. Notice. ‘ I will be in Virginia every Wednes- day and in Butler every Saturday to collect taxes for Charlotie township. V W. Walker. A. L. Hawkins, who for seven years has represented the Graham Paper Co., of St. Louis in central and western Missouri, has been placed in charge of that company’s house in Chicago, and will remove from Jef- ferson City in the near future to as- sume his new duties. While we re- joice with Al in his new position, which comes in the nature of a well merited promotion, we regret to lose him from this territory, and we will miss his cheery visits to which we always looked forward with pleasure, and on account of the newspaper boys of the state who need an oc- casional jollying to keep sweet, we: think he should be left in his old ter- ritory. Besides, Al is too good a Democrat to send away from Mis- souri. ‘ Working to Make it the Best. Last Monday, County Superinten- dent P. M. Allison, in company with S. M.

H. Inman is at the head of the school and is leaving nothing un- done to make his work a complete success.’’—Hume Telephone. Ozark Gold Strike Verified.
