PROFESSOR BILL WILSON |
Coi. Bill Wilson is still working for!
Mr. Haddon. He thanks us for offering
him a Summer Course in Dick
Wilson's Rural School, but he says
that he doesn't need it. He thinks that
Dick may need some instruction himself,
and in case Dick finds this to be
the case, Col. Bill says that he will
give a night or two in every week in
order to "review" Dick ancr any others
needing a little "slicking up" in
the lessons of the popular game.
Colonel* Bill tells us that he wants
j$> understood that he is no pupil. He
is a full-fledged professor, he says,
ranking with Hoyle, Charley Brown
and Dick Wilson himself, and with
Elwell also, but only as a pasteboard
artist. He also informed us that he
bad given King LiinK, 01 rress ana
Banner Block, and Col. Gus Smith,
who is, next to King Link, the biggest
liener in town an examination in the
Syntax of Setback Thursday evening
last, and that the King did not even
"shoot from taw,'" while Col. Gus
was not much better. Inflated in
pride by the accident which happened
a few evenings before, and believing
that luck might again prevail over
1.?r-/v 1 Tun CQtTQ P.ftl
UCaUTTVia) VW*. */*** V??wv WW.*
. , Gus had the pitching done at his
North Main residence in order that
W. Joel, George, and the others of
the children, might see what artists
he and King Link really are. W. Joel,
be tells us, found out at the end of
the first game and went to bed, but
that George was more hopeful, if
worse disappointed in the end.
From the way Col. Bill talks about
himself we expect that in a year or
two he will be able to play on Greenville
street, that is if he ever learns
: I
to bid on the ace.

CHURCH AND STORE
DESTROYED BY FIRE
]
."A disastrous fire in the wee small
hours of Sunday morning completely
destroyed the building tni* contents
of the general merchandise store beIcrg'ng
to I. C. Browis' on lov/er
South Main Street, and only the
walls of the Methodist church next
door are left standing.
"Mr. Brown's loss is practically
complete, the total insurance on both
the store building and stock of goods
be!rig only $1450 while he estimates
his stock alone to be worth approxi
mately $10,000.
"The Methodist church which was
also destroyed fared slightly better,
the stewards having $1,500 insurance
on it. Nothing was saved from
the church except the pulpit chairs
and the organ."
