Two Stores Burned ?\nd Loss is
Heavy Other Matters.
Brightsvillc, May I 1-The stores
of d W Odom aiid NV K Pecio
Were burned on last Thursday
morning about o'clock, the loss
is severe. Tho houses were owned
by Mr K \Y Goodwin, loss about
? $ \ 100.00. The lire is unknown
! how it was started. Mr ,1 NV
Odom was in Robeson county at
tho time of the lire and Mr Poole
was out at his fathers to spend the
night. Thc loss falls heavy on
these young mon. Mr Odom had
some insurance but do not know
whether it is gooder not. Mr
Poole had some insurance, but af
the full amount ol' their policies
uro paid they will lose $1000 each.
Mr Odom's safe was not locked
and and he lost all bis books and
accounts willi S I 50 worth of school
books, jl 1 io property ol' thc public
schools, also lu? had in his sale tho
VOl'? OU him but on others also.
Mr Goodwin had money in his
safe that Mr < Mom had collected
for him on his ginnery account to
thc amount of about &05.00. Pub
lic opinion is that it was set on
lie hy someone who knew thal Mi'
Odom and Mr l'eelo wen? not at
home. Ii wits .hard work to save
thc mill house as it caught on the
roof and had to bc fotighl by pour
ing water on the roof by knock
ing oil thc shingles from the in
side* I
It looks bk?' thal thc recent losses j
?to Mr Goodwin come on many
sides. Only a few days ago his
mill dam was washed out, then a
severe lire in bis line timber, and
now conies the loss of two stores
without any insurance at all. Tho
cutir? community sympathize with
them in their loss.

ed. lOvorything is being made
I ready for tho carrying out of the

u Tlie Swwootesi Girl in Dixie"
The play which was given not
long ago made a decided hil. In
fact il very generally ?greed that
it was the liest ol' the season. A
tremendous crowd was out and
great was enjoyment of the and
lenee. In answ er to a rc(|UCSt I rom
many w ho saw it the last time and
from some who did not see it the
Dramatic Club decided to present
i he play again.
So on friday night May 15th
the play will he presented in the
auditorium of the Murchirson
school building.
iOvory seat w as taken last time
and there w ill doubtless hi' a rush
for seats as soon as soon they are
put on sale.
The cast characters is the same
as they were before. KvOryono
who did not ?jot out before, will
doubtless make an especial effort
to cotne this time. Humor, trage
dy and that oki sweet story of
love abound in the play. The fun
ami all the good findings which |
you will got are worth more
than 1 times the price of admis
sion.
