Has Met Number of Former
Independence County Citi
zens in the Sunny South
Mr. Editor.—Leaving Tuck
eran December 4, accompanied
by W. S. Brooks and family,
we arrived in Hoxie a very
short while after leaving Tuck-:
erman. There we spent our
last night in dear old Arkan
.sas, while waiting the coming
of the Kansas City Florida
Special, which was to carry us
to the sunny South. The train
arrived about 6:30 o’clock Sun
day morning, all covered with
snow, that being the last snow
I have seen.
We boarded the train and
within somemthing like three
hours we came to the Missis
sippi river, which supplied a
very attractive scene to all of
us. After crossing the river
. and arriving in the beautiful
city of Memphis, Tenn., I think
we all took a backward glance
out of the coach windows and
bid farewell to our home state.
Nothing unusual happened
along the line until about two
hours out of Birmingham, Ala.
We had engine trouble of some
kind causing a delay of about
an hour and a half, which
caused us to make Jacksonville,
Fla., about 10:20 Monday
morning, December 6. There
we had to await the coming of
the Tampa Special which ar
rived at 2:20 in the evening,
that causing us to make Lake
land about ii o’clock Monday
night.
That being the end of our
journey, we were met by our
friends, J. L. Baker and family,
who has now been in Florida
for the past two years; also
formerly of Tuckerman, but
J. A. Gould and family of Cord,
Ark., who had arrived in Lake
land one week earlier.
We remained in Lakeland
#three weeks, during the mean
„ time being joined by George
Forrester and family of Cord,
Afk. Brooks and Forrester

Goyld and myself are located
14 miles west of Lakeland, 4
miles north of Plant City, and
18 miles east of Tampa. In
and aroud Plant City being the
greatest inland market of the
state. There were $60,000
worth of strawberries alone
sold there in three days of the
second week of February, and
the berry season will last four
weeks longer, the people say.
Yesterday we made a drive
of ten miles south of Plant City
to a country church where we
heard some good singing and
made the acquaintance of sev
eral people, wHicn was very
enjoyable to us. On our way
we saw many fields of vege
tables, such ,as cabbage, let
tuce, mustard, radishes, onions,
potatoes, beans, and others too
numerous to mention, which
was amusing to us, this being
February and we knowing the
condition of the weather in
Arkansas.
We have been in Tampa sev

in the state, once while there
visiting the Mallory Docks, we
saw many steamers, both pas

It is not only downright carelessness to keep
money in your house, but it subjects you and your
family to grave DANGER.
Not only may you lose it by fire, but burglars
may break in and steal it. Burglars always “spot” the
houses where money is kept and they will stop at
nothing—even MURDER—to get it.

Gire Destroyed
Fire totally destroyed the
home of Mr. and Mrs. H. A.
Gire Tuesday morning about 9

The fire is supposed to have

and as the flames were burst

discovered, it was impossible
jto check the fire.
A high wind threatened the
home of Mr. and Mrs. D. E.
Dobson, just across the street,
and much of their furniture
| was damaged in removing it
' from the house in order to save
; it from what seemed inevitable
'destruction. The Dobson
home was not damaged how
; ever.
Mr. and Mrs. Gire saved
part of their furniture. The
Gire residence had been built
less than two years and was
one of the nicest small homes
in town. Their loss is partial
ly covered by insurance

BUCK JONES IS IN TOWN
WAREHOUSE BURNS
Ten Thousand Bushels of Rice
Eurn at Cash Sunday
Jonesboro, Mch. 7.—A dis
jastious fire occured at Cash
I yesterday morning about 2 o’
! clock, when the rice warehouse
of Gregory & Gibson, contain
ing ten thousand bushels of
d ice, was completely destroyed,
also a large amount of farming
implements, consisting of trac
tors and other machinery, and
twenty-five head of fine hogs. ^
The origin of the fire is un
known, but there being no fire
in the building at any time it
seems to have been of incen
diary origin. The flames were
well under way when discover
ed, and there being no protec
tion, there was nothing to be
done except watch the flames
devour the rice and other ar
ticles in the warehouse.
Messers Gregory & Gibson
had the rice already sold, and
had begun loading it Saturday
before the fire occured, which
was Sunday morning.

“I know, Bill,” admitted
Jake thoughtfully, “an’ I

see how I can, now ”
“Why not?” persisted the
first. “What’s to prevent it?”
“Well it’s just this way, Bill.
There has got to be somebody
in this firm to weigh this here
