Mr. Par rott was attempting to board a moving when he mirsed his footing and fell beneath the car wheels and was so bad- - ly mangled that he died in a few minutes. Read the call of the Superintendent of Education in this issue asking for a meeting of the teachers to organize into an association. These organiza tions tend to aid the teachers in their work and Superintendent Holladay is anxious to put the teachers in this county on a plane with the progressive f counties in the State. S We have on our desk a mammoth quince which Mr. W. Mv. McKnight of p Workman, brought from Cordesville' Berkeley county. It is the largest quince we have ever seen. .He also brought. with him a skunk skin which Y we did not think would make a good office ornament especially as it has an odor that is not a good imitation of C sweet violets.b The local club of farmers met in the e court house last Saturday and the at tendance was quite large.. Messrs. J. H. McKnight and J. S. Davis werecho sen delegates to represent the club at the convention which meets next Fr: da. The club was add::essed by Capt. e D. J. Bradham, E. D. Hodge, Rev. S. A. Subett and the writer. The meri-tJ bers of the club are exhibiting a hlyl interest and It is to be hoped that good r will result from the action of the con- S vention. Another fire has given an impetus to the water works talk. We would like p to know how maniy of the water works advocates can be depended on to take an active interest in a lire department. after the town has burdened itself with V the cost of water works. Tro have water works- operated it requires anV orzanization, not of wind pumpers, but s of hard and brave workers. Those owning property in the business por- t. tion of the town can, if they will, build a 100,000) gallon tauk, keep this filled I. - -water by a fore pump, and pr-. c their property from it in case oi without loading the rest of the ~ with debt. To illustrate: The , estate owns a valuable block _of t ingS. it can about the centre of its ect a tank which would be ample - rotect its property; across the a t the owners of that property can .ne and erect a tank sufficiently , to) proteet themn. The oil mill ts own fire tank, so has the Alder lmber mills at Alcolu,. If Man .wsneeding water woerks for a ing supply it would be dilferent. r ir pupoe we do not favor the people for the protection or -tv whose owners are amly able - otect themselves, and receive a income from their property to it the expense of putting in any .ection they need. A Bad Conflagration. Fire broke out in Thomas & Brad aki's livery and sales stables last Sun ay'morning at about 11 o'clock, ani estroyed the building, which was irge structure, together with thous uds of pounds of hay, several ca >ads of corn, peas and oats, and seve orses. among them was a fine stallion favorite riding horse and a num er of hogs. The firm had just re eived one hundred wagons whic1 -ere also destroyed together with sev ral farming machines. At the timh te fire was discovered there was blow 2g a crisp breeze from the northwest hich increased a the flames rapidl; egan eating th sir way out of the enor ious mass of combustible matter; n ne shortest possible time the flames rst discovered issuing from the middlh L the roof, had enveloped the entiri uilding. The stables had about 51 ead of horses and mules, and it is du( ) the coolness of Mr. W. P. Hawkins iat so much of the stock was saved [e was among the first to reach thE re. and being familiar with thE remises. ran through a gateway lead ig to the back of the stable, and ther e broke open a door, turned out thE ajor portion of the mules and horses. "lhile Mr. Hawkins was working t< scue the stock in the rear, others had coken open the front door, and rushed to save the horses hitched in the alls: one man in his efforts to save rses, succeeded in cutting one loose d in stepping back to keep from ?ing trampled he stumbled ovet >rthing which caused him to fall, by is time the interior of the building as densely filled with smoke, and as Le man rose from the fall, the smoke id blinded him so that it was with fliculty he staggered . out into tne esh air, it would have been almost possible for him to have remained in tat smoke a minute longer and sur ved. A great crowd gathered and worked ithfully to save property, white and >ored did herculean service. The iilding on the opposite side of the reet used as a harness factory and ggy house had begun burning and :.s in a fair way to go, when fortun ely the wind changed and gave the Drkers a chance 'to save it. The lding used as the telephone ex ange was smoking on the eaves, but ing well covered with tar paper. and e wind blowing from it, saved not lv that building, but everything on att block. It looks almost miraculous at no more buildings were destroyed id it isa sad sight to look upon the bris and see seven herses crisp, and les of grain. When the portion of e building used as the office fell in e safe was exposed to view with its ior wide open, and all thought that -ery book, securities and paper was me to add to the distress of the own s of this property, but it was not to so. As soon as the safe could be ached, it was found that the main ks were intact, and about $146 in currency and silver, in perfect con tion. Had these books been destroy , the loss to Thomas & Bradham yuld have been many times greater, tt as it is, we estimate the property stroyed to be about Ss,000 which is sured for 83,750. When the work of rescue was about 'er, another alarm of fire was given, is time a tenant house belonging to r. W. S. Harvin caught on fire, but it is soon extinguished. A Prisoner in Her Own House..

"Eat plenty of ork," was the advice t the onsumptive 5Q and rtoo ears ago. Salt pork is good if a man an stomach it. The idea ehind it is that fat is the >od the consumptive needs lost.

Fashed its light on three wise men as onward they pressed: And with awe stricken faees they fol- I lowed the gem, As it lingered at last over swveet Beth lehem. O'er a poor, humble dwelling it rested a while, Where a young mother's love watched a sweet infant's smile: Aud the wvise men with worship their offerings bring; For the star that they followed beamed C over a king. Yes. a babe but a King! a King but a e child, A child but a God: A babe meek and mild. "A Prince and a Savior," the bright angels sung, . 1 While the ramparts of heaven with r sweet voices rung: I "Peace on earth good will to all men!" s "Peace upon earth!" it was echoed c again; And heaven seemed to vie with the the angels to sing, And proclaim to the world that Jesus e is King!c C Is He peace to our souls? Does His Peace fill our breast? Are the billows of sin and temptation at rest? Does "good will to men" our tempers subdue?t Is there good will to men, now, from me and from you? Alas for our race that so many refuse This peace and good feeling their posi tion to choose, A peace that will follow the pardon of sin, This good will that leads us the erring to win. To bring their sick souls as a free of fering To Jesus our Savior! To Jesus our king! Yes, a King now indeed with a sceptre and crown, Yes, a Savior indeed, the crucified one. The shepherds who guarded their flocks on the plain, Stood a'mazed as they welcomed the wonderful strain. The gospel that came to our sin strick en earth, Brought by angels who sung of Emanu el's birth. "Glory to God!" the bright seraphs sang, "Glory to God!" the blue archway i rang, While the lustre of heaven illuminated the train, And cast its effulgence far over the1 plain. Do we glory in doing his gentle comn mands? 1 Do we glory in serving with heart and I with hands? Do we glory to suffer through shame and through loss, And thus share the glory that beams from his crossy Then, indeed, when our toils and our troubles shall cease There will Ilash on our souls the bright dtoken of peace; a atH Adour gloritied spirits atls ewill bring To praise Him forever as Savior and King.A.
