Two fires in one day, both consuming established homes, is not usual for any community. The loss of Mr. Arant's residence lour miles from town, and Mr. Watts* residence in town yesterday seem to remind us that we 1 should makes preparation fort' such emergencies. A few crude implements, such as ladders and i extra buckets, would often save < a home from destruction. They cost but little, but there is no time to provide them after the 1 fire alarm has been given. Page- 1 land ritl7Pn?

Walls < r in the southern part of town was destroyed bv fire at eleven a. m. 1 yesterday. The fire is supposed 1 to have caught from the stove flue. Mrs, Watts hail made a s fire to cook dinner, but as the t wood burned slowly she added \ some trash. It is thought that a spark from the trash escaped and ^ lodged on the roof. When the t fire was discovered the alarm ^ was given and neighbors rushed in and saved most of the furni ture. The fire was burning but r slowly, and had good ladders * been available the building could c have been saved. The house was a large one and well furnish- l ed.

Thev rushed < into the kitchen, but were envel- 1 oped in flames when they open- * the door. It was seen at once 1 that the fire was beyond control. The iron safe, the organ and one 1 bed were the only contents of i the house that were saved. The smoke house was also burned, ^ but the contents of it were saved.

These attractions were indeed own builders, and can well be ailed Booster movements. In the very outset we were >romised our money's worth, nd we certainly got it. The Columbia concert com>any coming first, gave us i splendid attraction. Especially vere the people delighted with flrs. Keiiog and Her readings. Col. Gearhart is One of the oremost men of the day, noted or his splendid lectuies. Thev lave been delivered in the leadng churches, colleges and uniersities in this state and other tates. His lecture in the after ioon of the first day was a gem, vl\ile his lecture in the evening >f the same day has been referred 3 by many as probably the best ttraction of the season. Next came Eugene Lockhart, tie impersonator, on the after oon of the second day. He vill be remembered by old and oung for the amusement he afoided. Along with him came )urno, the mysterious. We yill not attempt to tell you yhat he did. Ask Prof. Dukes nd Mr. Askins how he did it. "hev promised not to tell, but aaybe they will. On the afternoon and night of lie third day the Alpine Yodlers a their native Swiss costumes urnished the amusement, and )r. Hyde in his tvvo lectures furlished both entertainment apd nstruction. A packed audience ieard both of his * lectures, one The Richest man in Town," be other, "Should the Corners >f Jhe MouthJjTurn Up or Turn )own." Both were inspiring nd uplifting in an unusual deree, while entertaining and ins tructive at the same time. Friday, the second day, was mown as educational day..

This assembling f the school children, with their larches, their floats and their rhool songs, was an inspiring cene.
