Mr. Henry Blount, of Wilson. N delivered a lecture entitled "Be. the Alps Lies Italv." in Institute last Monday night, and last nigh gave the drama Rip Van Winkle, ing all the parts without moring. 0 his tracks. The lecture was not intena ed to be intellectually elevating or in structive, but rather to amuse and en tertain, and thereby for the moment to drive dull care away. The speaker was not in good voice, owing to a cold atfect ing his throat, and unfortunately he was twice interrupted-once by a fire alarm, and later by the electric lights going out. Considering the circumstanc es, he hela his audience remarkably well, giving a considerable portion of his talk in the dark. Mr. Blount is edi tor and publisher of the Wilson Mirror, a bright, newsy and popular paper. Lecturing is his ;ide line. Some of those who heard hiT here regard his rendition of Rip Van Winkle as super ior to his lecture. He left this morning for his home at Wilson. Fire Record for the Week. The barn and stables of Mr. C. M. White on West Boundary street were burned about 2:30 o'clock this afternoon. The origin of the fire is unknown Loss about $750, with no insurance. An incipient fire on the roof :f the old Legg house, now occupied by Dr. . F. Geiger and family, was discovered last Saturday in time to be put out be fore the fire engine arrived. The work men on the new school building render ed valuable service in fighting the fire. Mr. John W. Perry, a prominent acd industrious young farmer, had his residence-at Bradhamville burned to eether with all his household effects dring the high wind last Saturday morning. Mr. Perry had 1come to Nan ning to attend to some business, leav ing Mrs. Perry alone, and when the ire was discovered it had made such progress that she bad no time to save any of the household goods, and there was no help at hand to aid her. It is not known how the fire started, but when discovered the whole top of the house was burning. The value of the household and kitchen furniture, cloth ng, bedding, etc., was probably be tween 50 and $1,000, which was a otal loss, as there was no insurance. ['he building belonged to M r. D. M. Bradham, who was protected by in ;urance to the amount of $500. A great leal of sympathy is felt for Mr. and rs. Perry in their loss, and especially :r account of the great. inconvenience o which they were subjected, and it is hoped that they will soon be comfort ably adjusted again. The merchandise store of R. B. Brad am & Co. in the McLeod block was rutted by fire which was discovered inside the building about 9:10 o'clock last Monday night. The fire department responded promptly when .the alarm was given and did affective work,though handicapped by the cold weather which aused the loss of several minutes be fore the engine could be started.The ori ion of the fire is a mystery, as the store force and several customers were n the building up to 8 o'clock. The store was lighted by electricity, and iher ewas no sign of anything out of rder at the closing hour. There was o indication that the building had been broken into either at the back or Eront. Through the work of the fire er the fire was confined to the one room and no damage was done to the adjoining stores. The stock of goods > hand ameunted to about $5,000, on which there were two insurance poli ies aggregating $2,700.; There was uite a lot of new goods that had just. been received and marked up, but as or that there were no old goods in the store, for the business was only started a few months ago. The fire causes a serious loss to the Messrs. Bradham, not only in the amount of goods de stroyed, but in the interruption of a nice trade that they were just building ip. It will necessarily require quite a while to get the fire loss adjusted and get opened up for business again. The building was owned by Mr. J. W. Mc Leod and was insured for $1,000, which will-about cover the amount of dam age. The result of the fire as it stands :roves the value and efficiency of Man ning's fice-fighting equipment, for were it not for the work done by the firemen there is no estimating the extent to which the fire might have gone. The Book-Keeper. [By Request.] t was an ancient book-keeper, And he was tv" -mnd slim: Though his face wvas mild and rarely smiled; His clothes were dark and prim, And everything about his desk He kept exceeding trim.. He al-vinys hung his hat and coat Upon the self-same hooks, And laid his ruler, pen and ink In their respective nooks: And the only exercise he had Was footing up his books. Each day upon the self-same hour He took his lofty seat, And bent his body and his mind His labors to complete; And blots were neither on his fame Ndr on his ledger-sheet. The music of his pen was heard From morn till eventide; Up columns vast his eyes were cast. Then down again with pride; Quite pleased was he, though he saw his work Increased and multiplied. The c&ash that o'er his fingers came Each day was something grand, And yet no schemes to bear it oiff By him were ever planned. Altough you saw with half an eye That he wrote a sloping hand. He had no wife, he made no friends His joys and cares were few, And his dearest hope from day to day Was to keep his balance true, (A good world this if every man The latter thing would do ) He never sighed when little ills His way of life would cross; And o'er the errors of his youth He showed no vain remorse: But set down all that camne along To profit or to loss. Oe day the creditor of all Dropped in for his amount: He found the old man at his post, Though low ran nature's fount; The books were closed and he was borne, Up to his last account.
