IN VALDOSTA’S CENTER

Damaged—Good Work of the Fire
Department.* /
VALDOSTA, Oft.. May 81.—Four or
flvt thousand dollar* damage whs done
here a little before noon by a fire
which for quite a while threatened one
of the largest buslnesa block* in the
city. The fire originated In the Capital
cafe, John Cawthome, proprietor, and
was .caused by a negro turning over a
can of gasoline near the itove. It
caught In an Instant, and the flame*
spread rapidly. In a few minutes they
were bursting from all of the windows
and were gradually coming up to the
undertaking find furniture departments
of'Ousley A Co., that firm occupying
the second and third story of the entire
block of five stores. ,
The heat from the fire was so Intense
that the Merchants' bank. Just across
the alley, was threatened for a while.
The fire gutted the cafe and did much
damage to Ousley A Co.'s undertaking
department, and also to thetr furniture
stock.
Carter Powell A Co/a dry good* store
In the same block was damaged con
siderably by fire and smoke, while the
large piano and organ dealers. Carter
A Dorough, suffered considerable loss.
The damage to the building was ron-
rl lerable, the store In which the Capital
cafe was located being gutted. T~<*
full estimate upon the logs cannot be
given, but It will be five or *lx thou
sand dollar* at least, though covered

From the 8entlnel, Gebo, Mont.
In the first opening of Oklahomn to
settlers In 1889. the editor of this paper
was among the many seekers after for
tune who made tho big race one fine
day In April. During his traveling
about and afterward his camping upon
his claim, he encountered much bod
water, which, together with the severe
heat, gave him n very severe dlarrhoeo,
which it seemed almost Impossible to
check, and along In June the case be
came to bad ho expected to die. One
day one of his neighbors brought him
one small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Dlnrrho*a Remedy 5s n
Inst ll< I’*\ A big (In*.. Wite him
while he was rolling about on the
ground In grent ngony, and In a few
minutes the dose wns repeated. The
good effect of the medicine was toon
noticed, nnd within on hour the patient
was taking "his first sound sleep for n
fortnight. That on* little bottle work
ed a complete cure, and he cannot help
but feel grateful. The reason for bow
el disorders being at hand suggests
