It is near the business district, yet sufficiently retired and in an agreeable neighborhood, so that it is particularly convenient and pleasant. Mr. Winders is young, full of energy, obliging and popular with all with whom he comes in contact, and he will undoubtedly make a success of this enterprise.

- OFF FOR TEXAS Some Sycamore People Will Leave Today and Others Next Tuesday for Geraldine Next Tuesday is the day when several residents of Sycamore expect to leave for the new colony town, Geraldine, in Archer County, Northern Texas.
Nearly 60 people in Sycamore and the country near here have shares in this colony. Not all have received deeds, though a number of deeds have arrived this week and all are expected before the time to start. About 4,000 of these instruments have to be executed and the task has been large, the delay causing some uneasiness to those who expected to go on the excursion next Tuesday. A.C. Dean, who has long been engaged in the teaming business here, has sold his pretty new home to James Robers for $1,800. Harry Winders has sold his home, the fourth west of the Northwestern depot, on Grant Street, to David Morphy. Messrs. Dean, Winders and Arthur Quinn have packed a car of goods and will leave today for Geraldine.
John Winchester, who is the agent here for the American Tribune New Colony Co., of Indianapolis, Ind., who are conducting this enterprise, has given up his position with the Postal Telegraph Co., and expects to leave for Geraldine about April 1.
Mr. Frazier, who visited the colony last December and brought back favorable reports, expects to return there abut the middle of March. It is reported that there are between 600 and 700 people in Geraldine at the present time, where there was nobody a year ago.

- ANOTHER GERALDINE REPORT
Mr. William Peck Talks of What he Saw at Geraldine, Texas Mr. and Mrs. William Peck returned on Wednesday from Beckenridge, Okla., where they visited relatives, and from Geraldine, Texas where is the colony in which several Sycamore people are interested. Mr. Peck seemed to be pleased with the country on the whole, and during a visit to THE TRUE REPUBLICAN office exhibited earth taken fro his land at Geraldine which seemed to be rich loam, containing no sand. There are about 50 buildings there and 25 or 30 shanties or tents besides. Some of the buildings are quite large, and there are dry goods, hardware and grocery stores, two saloons, and a newspaper. Three other store buildings are in process of construction. He thinks the climate is fine. It has been very dry there, unprecedently so, he was told, but he heard that after he left that the heavy rains which visited Illinois and much of the Mississippi Valley had also come to Texas. At the Geraldine colony, things were not booming at the present time because the railroad had not yet reached there, but all expected it in a short time, when building and the various improvements could be pushed at less expense and all could find the employment which they cannot find now. Mr. Peck says that while it was necessary to haul water and pay for the hauling 20 cents a barrel, water was hard to get only because of a strata of rock which it was necessary to penetrate before it could be reached. He reports that Harry Winders asked $400 for his property in the colony, four times the original price, and thought that showed faith in the country. At Bowie, thirty miles away, coal of the best quality, a sample of which he showed, is dug near the surface and is represented to be immense in quantity. There he saw cotton bales, the rows of bales being two blocks long, indicating one of the profitable products of that immediate locality.

- RECEIVED BAD BURNS PAIL OF TAR CATCHES FIRE AND CHARLES KIMPORT IS BADLY BURNED ON HANDS
Tar Was Being Heated So It Would Spread Easier--
Solder of Pail Was Melted and When the Pail Was Lifted the Bottom Fell Out--
Tar Catches Fire--
Kimport's Presence of Mind What might have proven a costly fire called out the department on Monday forenoon, when one of the small buildings in the rear of the stores in Ellwood block caught on fire from some burning tar and only the prompt work of those at hand at the time of the accident prevented the spread of the flames to the long row of adjoining buildings. The fire started from some tar that ignited while it was being heated, so that it could be put on the roof of the store building occupied by Sivwright, Irish, & Co. Harry Winders and Charles Kimport were at work putting the tar on the new roof. As the weather was cool the tar was being heated to make it spread easier. A pail of tar had been heating over a gasoline stove while the men were on the roof. When they were ready for the new pailful Kimport started to lift it off the fire and the bottom came out of the pail and the contents immediately caught fire. As the contents of the pail had not been stirred, the solder on the bottom had probably melted.
Kimport's clothing caught fire ad when he got out of the little shed where he had been working, those who saw him said he was all aflame. However, he displayed presence of mind and instead of running while his clothes were afire, he rolled over and over in a pile of ashes until he had extinguished his burning clothes. The burns on his hands are severe. He was taken immediately into Sivwright, Irish & Co's store where his hands were bandaged. It will be at least two weeks before he will again have the use of them. The damage to the building was slight and the fire was soon put out by pails of water and the department did not have to lay any hose. Had it spread, the department might have had a difficult job on its hands, as the alley is so narrow and is not easily accessible to hydrants, unless the lines of hose are run through the stores. Should a fire get a good start among those buildings it might cause considerable loss, as the smoke and heat in the narrow alley would be difficult things to fight against. It was noticed that in the yards back of some of the stores, there are piles of paper lying in the open and if by chance sparks from a nearby chimney should fall upon the piles of rubbish during the night, a fire might start and spread to the business houses before it could be extinguished. The merchants should look into this matter and see that no loose paper is left in the rear of their buildings.

- WHITTACRE TO ROCKFORD
Will Establish His Factory Where Galvanizing Work Can Be Obtained
J.E. Whittacre, who was starting the manufacture here of eaves troughs, door hangers, and some other articles, has decided to accept an offer to remove to Rockford. The Rockford Register-Gazette ways of a visit which Mr. Whittacre recently made there: "Mr. Camlin took the Sycamore gentleman in tow and visiting the water power showed him the W.B. Barbour building vacated some time ago by the Eclipse Company, the only vacant building in that vicinity. Mr. Whittacre was very favorably impressed with the place from the start and finding that he was in close proximity to the plant of the galvanizing company, an industry for whom he will have considerable work, he finally took a lease of the structure. He expects to open here within a month or six weeks and will employ about 20 hands on the start." Mr. Whittacre was handicapped in Sycamore because of his inability to get galvanizing, of which he needs much on his eaves troughts, and after failing to induce our citizens to help him establish a galvanizing plant here, he concluded he would be obliged to go where he could get the work done. Harry Winders will go to Rockford where he will be employed by Mr. Whittacre.

- In our last issue we made an unfortunate mistake in saying that the Harry Winders from whom his wife is seeking a divorce, had conducted the Malta Record. The facts are that the Winders from whom a divorce is asked never lived in Malta and is no connection to the Winders who has been editor of the paper there. The man of whom his wife seeks to be relieved is the Harry Winders who was a resident of Sycamore, whose second wife, to whom he was married on Clare in May, 1903, was at one time a resident of Malta.
