Cotton Plant
"FIRE.—
On last Thursday night, the
business portion of Cotton Plant,
the seat of goverment, of the
Southern District, of Wood
ruff Co. burned to the ground.
The supposition is that a drunk
en timberman, by the same of
Barney Gilliam, who seemed to
have been spending the night in
the hallway of the Masonic hall,
accidentally caused the fire by
his smoking. The fire began a
bout 2a,m. Friday morning. In
less than an hour 17 stores and
most of their contents were no
more.
The loss is something in .
t li vi Ai nrl-i K/a t* la rv/A/l a T CO a AAA
Prank Kennedy, the Post Master,
A.P. Mayberry, and L.B. Moore
lost the heaviest. The following
is a list of the amounts each lost:
“A.P. Mayberry, §4,000, no in
surance; F.H. Kennedy $4500,in
surance $1000; R.R. James,$1000
no insurance; R.E. Bowen,$2000,
$500 ipsranee; Holland and Son,
$1000, no insurance; ‘MeKie and
Co. $1200, $400 insurance; J.E.
nysuiiuu, ssouu, no insurance; u.
B.More $3000, on stock and $200
on building: J.W. Russell, $400,
no insurance; J.T. Dunlap, $500,
no insurance.” ArKansian’s of
fice isa total wreck. We sympa
thize deeply with Bro. Pollard in
his loss, but hope it may prove a
blessing to him in the end. For a
news paper man has a hard road
to travel and meat and meal are
very scarce along the journalistic
highway.
The brick buildings that are
being brilt in Cotton Plant
were not injured by the fire.
The bui'nt district will no donbt
be rebuilt and when this has been
done, Cotton Plant will be one of
the most enterprising little cities
in the state. Up-to-date, progres
sive in every line. Why not, She
has the farming lands around her
to support a healthly growth.
She has men of money that can
make her a manufacturing cen
ter if they will. May she pros
per and grow beautiful is the
wish of the News.

On last Sunday, Sept. 7th, 1902
at the pleasant home of W. B. 1
Douherty, one of the most impor
tant weddings of the season took 1
place at 10 o’clock a. m. in the
presence of a few very near ,
friends. The contracting parties (
were Miss Maggie Shelton, of
Grays, and Will Melton, of Au
gusta. Miss Shelton is one of
the best accomplished and re
fined young ladies of Woodruff
County.
Mr. Melton, who is now con
stable of Augusta Township and
deputy sheriff, is one of the most
alert and businesslike officers
anywhere. If he makes as good
a husband as he does an officer,
their future happiness is assur
ed.
The News wishes for them a
life of unalloyed joy, happiness,
prosperity and success. May
they live in God’s flower garden
of eternal love, where ten thou
sand feathered songsters will
drown their souls with melody
divine, while every bud and blos
som, blade and twig sways in the
balmy breath of morn and pours
forth its perfumes of gratitude
to husband and wife. May the
glorious s in drive the river mist
of care and trouble before it and
send level' burnished rays of
I am in the race and
EVER WIN.
