o
FROM AN OLD FRIEND.
A Card tc the Public.
We have a letter from our old time
friend, Geo. A. Wilkerson-, formerly ot
Allen. He is now living at Ponder in
Denton county. George wrote to ex-
press his sorrow over the awful ca-
lamity which had befallen McKinney.
He tells us he likes Denton county,
that land is advancing right along.
Says wheat and oats look fine. George
sent us a dollar to renew for the Ex-
aminer for himself, also a dollar to
pay for a copy to be sent to Mrs.
Florence Garrison, at Justin, Texas.
George has been taking our paper
6ince its first issue 27 years afeo and
remarks that we can "just count on
me continuing to take it the rest of
my days." Thanks old friend., Good
fortune attend thee.
J
A few days since when asked the
time of dav Uncle Johnnie McKlnney
replied, "I will tell you the time by a
watch that I bought of H. W. Ardinger
35 years ago, and have carricd it con-
tinuously ever since." He stated that
he had taken It to the repair shop
twice in that time. Uncle Johnnie
has a mind well stored with useful
knowledge. No man in the county
can tell more interesting tales of pio-
neer days in this section.
To the good people of McKlnney
and Collin county:
We can not command language to
express onr feelings over the great
calamity that lias befallen us in the
recent destruction of our store. We
can not tell you our feelings, oecause
we can not take each one of you by
the hand and express our true senti-
ments to you. Our financial loss is
nothing—we do not grieve over this,
because we can replace this, and we
only wish we could replace the prec-
ious lives that were taken so sudden-
ly. This, and tiiis only, is the one
burden on our hearts. While we could
not prevent the sad accident, yet we
can not but feel sad with the good
people of McKlnney in this bereave-
ment.
We want to thank the noble men
who went to the rescue, and who
worked so faithfully to save those
who were caught in the building.
To those who were so unfortunate
to lose some dear one, we extend our
deepest sympathy, and may God in
His infinite goodness give you grace
to bear tills ordeal. We trust that
those who were rescued will speedily
recover. We are too sad over the
loss of the lives to say more.
Thoughtfully yours,
CHEEVES BROS. & CO.

is probably due to uric
acid in the system—the
blood must be purified—
the poisonous acid driven
out and general health
must be improved.
Thousands testify that
Scott's Emulsion rids the
system of poisonous acid
by enriching the impover-
ished blood, and its con-
centrated nourishment is
converted into red blood
corpuscles which drive
out rheumatism.
It is especially valuable
to aged people.

CAME HERE ON SAD MISSION.
The Examiner office received a call
from T. C. Perry, who had been here
to attend the funeral of his daughter-
in-law, mention of whose death is
made in this issue. It looks like the
mysterious hand of fate that brought
Mr. Perry here at this particular time.
For it was he who founded the Missis-
sippi Store here more than 30 years
ago. He was sitting at a desk in the
Worth Hotel at Fort Worth, anxious-
ly awaiting news from the bedside of
bis son's wife, and was writing a let-
ter to Mr. George Murphy at Sherman
in regard to the disaster of which he
had but a few minutes before heard.
Mr. Murphy was associated with Mr.
Perry in conducting the Mississippi
Store for several years, the firm be-
ing Murphy, Perry & Co. While writ-
ing the letter a phone message came
from his son that his wife's condition
was better. But a few minutes later
the sad word came of her sudden
death. Thus after a cycle of 30 years
Mr. Perry is called back to McKinney
on this sorrowful mission, and views
the ruins of the great building in
which he conducted business for so
many years, and in which his son,
now grown to manhood, had romped
as a light-heartea boy. But who is
at this time plunged in despair over
the untimely death of his young wife.
