MILLER'S OPENING.
An Enormous Orowd of People, Band Mu-
sic, Souvenirs, and a Big Rush
All Day Long.
Miller Bros. & Co. gave their
annual spring openiug sale Satur-
day, and the enormous crowd of
buyers and visitors which crowd-
ed the big establishment from
morning till night, pushing,
crowding, straggling to get hold
of the numerous bargaius offered,
must have been gratifying to the
hearts of the proprietors and
promoters.
The sale, in this respect, was
but a repetition of many former
sales given by this house. A
email army of extra clerks was
unequal to the crowd. Souvenirs
were exhausted early in the day,
and long before evening the store
showed the ravages of the passing
of the multitude. Order was re-
stored for the evening session,
when as an additional feature,
there was music by the band,
both in front of the store and
on the newly made gallery in-
side, and speeches.
The big store presented a beau-
tiful appearance in its new spring
dress, and many expressions of
admiration were heard from the
visitors.
A Good Day's Work.
Rev. J. W. Kizziar, pastor of
the M. E. church, South, at Mar-
tha and Blair, did a good day's
work last Sunday. He preached
at both places during the day,
and the congregations contributed
sufficient money to dischaige all
conference obligations for the
year, besides raising $600 for a
parsonage at Blair for a resident
pastor. Bro. Massey, iu relating
the item to a Times reporter,
added: "Now, if these two
churches will continue to re*
main as one charge, they will al-
ways get a good pastor, hot if
they separate, each one will allow
some preacher to starve to
death."
A Fleeting Visit!
John Walter Sams, a typical
specimeu of the geuus hobo
printer, blew into town Monday
from Quanah, and spent the day
aud night renewing old acquain-
tances. John Walter is the same
typographical tourist who per-
formed for one brief week on the
Times about a year ago, aud dis-
appeared very suddenly one after-
noon leaving us iu despair and iu
the middle of about as bad a fix
as we were ever in. This is a
characteristic—fixed and un-
changeable—of most hobo print'
ers. J. Walter called on us ex-
tensively while here, talked rem-
iuiscefttly of "times on the
road," touched us for the price of
a meal, aud vanished over the
western horizon towards Mangum
Tuesday afternoon. Ta-ta, John!
SCHOOL NOTES.
Hail Storm At Mangum.
Residents of Mangum who were
in Altus the first of the week re-
port a fierce hail storm at the
county seat Sunday night, about
church time, which did much
damage. So great was the force
of the hail that it broke through
the tar and gravel roofs of sever-
al stores, doing considerable dam-
age to their contents. Sam Rude's
furniture Btock suffered between
$1,000 and $1,200 damage, while
several other firms were also in-
jured. Fruit trees suffered great-
ly, some of them beiug almost
stripped of blossoms.
A Daredevil Ride
often euds iu a sad accideut. To
heal accidental injuries, use
Buckleu's Arnica Salve. "A deep
wound in my foot from an acci-
dent," writes Theodore Schuele,
of Columbus, O., "caused me
great pain. Physicians were help-
less, bat Buckleu's Arnica Salve
quickly healed it." Soothes and
Leals burns like magic. 25c at
Geo. D. Pendleton's, druggist.
