The regular boarders at the
Polster hotel, feel rather lone
some, but Mrs. Sour has fitted up
the old Springs hotel building
temporarily, and the eating pub
lic will mot go without accommo
dations, so far as she is con
cerned. There is a growing feeling
that 'Baxter Springs should have
some fire hydrants in the busi
ness district. The feeling should
have taken root some time ago,
but it is better late than never,
and we trust it will not be long
until this weakness is remedied.
