The people livinc' in the upper end of town complain of * e frequent shooting of pistols at night.

The sug-estior. to CreCt a monument o the courtIoUse square is in our opinmo a good one. and we hope the matter wil be taken hold of by the ladies of thi and other communities in the county. . monument would not only be an orna ment to the square. but it. would givc proper mark of patriotism. We understand that council has au thorized the town's attorney to draf the contract for the concrete sidewalks It would be a pity to have these walk: in patches. A.1 property owners alon: the street should consent to ha'e thi improvement made. It will add to th4 appearence and value of the property.

What bid fair to be more than a se rious conflagration was narrowly avert, ed last Monday morning, by the timel% bard work of citizens before the tire en gine could get ready to do effretiv( work. The alarm was given about S o'clock: persons passing the Clark to, bacco warehouse discovered smoke is suing from the front of the building and in the shortest time the whole structure was enveloped and burning fiercely. The building being long and high held tht heat until from the intensity of it, the two story pack house some distance oil was cons'umed with it. The work of th( firemen was greatly retarded on accouni of the sewerage work on Brooks street forcing them to go to a well far off from the scene of the tire, and thereby r901 giving them hose enough to reach the most dangerous part of the fire, until they sent back to the engine house for some new hose that had just been re ceived; by this time however, the fire had been'gotten under control. Several times the dwelling belonging to Dr. W. M. Brockinton and occupied by M r. Joe Yassney caught, and it was only by h .rd work with buckets it was saved. The engine reached the home of Mr. E. C. Horton and kept a good stream playin2 on it which saved it. At one time it looked as if it would be impossible tc save tbe residences of Dr. W. M. Brock inton, A. C. Bradham and R. D. Cothrar besides Horton and Yasey residences. The property destroyed consisted of Dr. Brockinton's barn, the tobacco warehouse, the large pack house. and several small outhouses and fencing, a jersey cow, an ox, and consid eable stock food belonging to Mr. Rt D. Clark, and a buggy belonging to Mr. R. D. Cothran. Insurance on the Clark~ property was $3,250. Tnere was mueb criticismrof the firemen during the prog ress of the fire because they~ seeme:: slow in reaching what was considered the main portion of the fire, but the bos did the best they could: it was im possble for them to work their engine at the nearest well on account of the in tense heat, anti from the well they con nected with they did not have hos4 until the additional hose coul.d be got ten to them. They worked like beaveri and deserve credit rather than advers< criticism, especially since their xork i2 contributed as a work of love. We are satisfied that had not th< streets been torn up so the fireme: 1 could have gotten nearer the fire witi their engine their work could not hav< saved the tinder boxes which were de stroyed. Under the circumstances th< owners of the property~ saved sbould be thankful. A Good Woman Laid to Rest. Died near Panola, at the home o Iher sister. Mrs. J. 1'.

We will. therefe c 1sever our connection with said depar: m ent and let those take chari s who think they can do more ec fective work. The majority of us ar . not property owners, and do this waor LI gratis, in order to save to t!'ose who d I- own property.

This year we are arranging to have a %enerai program at the colored school Thanksgiving day. (Thursday morning) and extend an invitation to the public. Songs. prayer. recitations and appropri ate remarks will be had. This is the econd month that manual trainin: work has been conducted in the local colored school, and marked succes.s is being obtained in basketry, raphia and needle work. The material for this work is an item of expense. The reed and raphia coSt .n New York. in mall lots,. nearly $1.00 per pound. but the training is worth consideration and to say theo least, will add more thrift and usefulness to the negro element here. The white neople. who would rather employ useful and trainod ser vants will be. in a large measure, the greatest beneticiaries. I would be very glad to receive some donations from some of our good white friends on Thanksgiving day to help us buy ma terial. Any person sending a donation to the work will be sent a beautiful lit te basket made by some student at the school as an advertisement of the work. Thev have also begun to plat the little mats which are unique for domestic ser vice. We will begin to fill orders for diff erent articles next month and will have some of this work on exhibition very soon. When we are more prepared for the work a cooking store will be put in and the -irls will be given practical lessons in c-ooking three times each week. The bov wili be taught chair canin and later on we will ask for every old broken bottom chair in town. We will bottoi the-t, old chairs and return them to the owt.ers with new bottoms in them. I M.

In the advertisement you sent us we notice that they say that while the stock lasts you can buy it at $4 per share. -We ao not like to advised anyone in regardl to investment of money. We feel in this case however, that we would nt care ourselves to purchase this se enritv. The Wall Street Journal, a paper printed in New York covering thc sub ject of securities and giving advise incosraiemne.hsaclm de voted to answvering such inquiries as -you ask us. and if you would forward them a request they would probably reply. especially if you would say that you note that this is a feature of their paper. All these wireless companies seem from our view dint to have capitalized heir inventions andi opportunities al most one hundred fold, in anticipation of benefits and results to be achieved. which are a long way from being real rized at the present time, and were be in" conducted as stock jobbing proposi Stions rather than practical inventions to do every day business.I If you will look up the capitalization of these ditferent wireless companies; you will tind that they are all up in the mlios and securities are not well Sthought of as investments by the con I'servativ : 'ankers and brokers.
