On January 18^th the Katy will put on a new daily train from Denison to Parsons. The time of the flyer will be increased and fewer stops made and this new train will be more of an accommodation. It will be a great convenience to travelers to and from Territory points and indications are there will be lots of that done the next few years on account of the citizen litigants and the land office business at Atoka. The new train has been needed some time.

Last Thursday morning at the home of W. E. Thedin, Mr. H. Goenther of Bastrop, Texas, and Miss Cecelia Thedin were married, Rev. I. T. Underwood officiating. Mr. Goenther is a stranger in Caddo, but comes well recommended from his home town, and has entered into business in Caddo and henceforward will be one of us. Miss Thedin is the sister of W. E. Thedin and Mrs. O. E. Grisenbeck and is a most lovable young lady and has made many friends during her residence here. The Herald joins the many friends in congratulating the couple. 

Fire destroyed the residence of W. W. White on Buffalo street Wednesday morning about 3 o’clock. The house was owned by J. H. Sims of Durant. The fire was far advanced when first discovered and none of the effects were saved. The photo tent and contents were saved. There was some insurance but we failed to learn how much. It was a narrow escape for the building of Smith, Cobb & Pace, as they were next east of the residence. Buffalo Street being 100 feet wide lessened the danger to buildings on the south side, though a strong north wind was blowing.
