reporta received here last week,
in the recent fire which de-*
atroyed the orphanage at Ard-

Aid be«i~^r'matron in the or-
^tr. phanage for some time, and had
all her, clothing and household
^oods there at the time of the
fire, and saved nothing but the
clothes she was wearing. At the
time of the fire her daughter,
Dora Willie, wa« away on a visit
and had most Of her clothing
IjLwith her. r//:
Mrs. Taliaferro lived in Gra-
ham for several years and has
hosts of friends here who will
regret to learn of her misfor-
tune. Her husband, J. W. Tal-
iaferro, was an undertaker here
and lost his life while bathing
an Salt Creek near the bridge
during an overflow. After .his
death Mrs. Taliaferro and little
I . daughter moved to Ardmore and

Ralph Shuffler published an
exta edition of the Olney Enter-
prise last Fridayr covering the
army draft in Young county, and
giving names of our men who
were . drawn fo* army service,
under .IfeefoelectiVe draft from
numbers drawn in Washington
that day. The edition was of
war and consisted of four four-
column pages without an inch or
line of advertisement and was
given fre-* of charge to the sub-
scribers cf The Enterprise. It
was a neat ittle paper, well got-
ten up and brimful of interesting
matter, and shows that Ralph is
alwry* on the alert to gfo*i- his
subscribers the very best there is
in news while it is news. Olney
and the -Olney territory should
appreciate The Enterprise and
its capable, energetic publisher.
