We are just waiting for the quarantine to be lifted. We hope it won’t be too long until we can bid this place farewell.

A telegram was received in Sulphur Wednesday morning to the effect that WILLIAM MULVIHILL had died at Little Rock, Arkansas of influenza. He was a veteran plasterer and bricklayer of this section, who joined the government labor force at Little Rock a month ago, going with one of the Ardmore crews.
A disastrous fire Tuesday night destroyed the large hay and mule barn on West Eleventh Street owned by MANNING & WHITE. The barn was a large sheet iron building, completely enclosed and the entire interior area was ablaze before the fire was discovered. The immense amount of hay stored made a big blaze and threatened many adjoining buildings. The splendid residence of R. L. BUCHANAN, only a few feet away, could not be saved and it was only by heroic and effective fire fighting that the H. E. MALONE residence was saved. The R. L. BUCHANAN store and three story LEYDA & GOODE BUILDING were threatened but Sulphur’s good water pressure and new fire fighting equipment enabled the fire crew to control the immense blaze.
