Fire.

COMMERCIAL BANK BURNT.-On Saturday
night Isst, the lanking house the CONNER
cal Eank Of Manchester was entirely de-
siroyed by FIRE. A portion Of the building
was occupied as adwelling. in which was
defective hearth. day or two before The
burning Of the Bank, one OF the rooms being
almost filled with smoke, the hearth was
taken up, when some Of the wood work an
dernealh it was discovered TO be on fire.
This was put out it was thought effectualy,
and all was considered safe. Saturday The
room continued smoky, which was attribu-
ted 10 a faulty chimney, and the occupants
removed 70 q room below. Between twelve
and one on Saturday night the alarm Of FIRE
wac given, and the flames were seen burst
ing out Of The back part Of the bank building,
a few moments after which they issued also
from the observatory on the top Of the house.
The inmates barely had time 10 make their
escape. Il was impossible to save the build
ing, but portion Of the furniture therein was
with difficulty rescued from the flames
The specie deposited in the vault was re-
moved the next morning, it having Teeei'
we'd but little damage, as the falling of brick
work on the boxes, and the continued pour
ing of water on that part, protected it in &
great measure from the extreme heat. Up
on the iron sale being opened the books anC
all the papers Of the bank were found 10 b'
in a complete state Of preservation. Thu
armory OF the Fusilliers was in the build
ing, and number Of muskess were destroy
ed. The banking house was a handsom
edifice, and an ornament TO our town. Tn
business of The Commercial Bank is now DC
ing transacted at the large brick building Of
Main street, known as the "Planters' Bank.

sunday school.

We have inadvertently made no mention
of the Sunday School that has been in oPer-
alton here some months past. A school Of
this description contributes largely to the
good behavior and morals of tho-e who are
growing up around us, and who, at no
very distant period must ill the places we
now occupy in the transactions Of the world.
The school has been numerously attended
since its formation, and we know Of no sight
more pleasing than to behold tho youth OF
our town, with best bib and tucker on,
vending their way Of Sunday morning 10
the sehoolroom, there to profit by the moral
preeepts inculcaled by their teachers. Some
thirty or forty pupils are under tuition, who
appear to take as much pride in being taught
as is the qualification rendered 10 their &C
eomplished male and female PERCEPTION

A few years back and the glorious 22nd
Of February, the anniversary Of the birth Of
The Father Of his Country, would not have
passed BY our citizens unheeded. But times
have changed, and although the feeling Of
the heart is no doubt precisely the same as
II was then. itseems the feeling Of the peck
ct is vastly different. We regret to chronicle
it; but, the 42nd Of February, 1919, went
by in a manner unnoiiced by our citizens,
without any public testimony Of commend
ration.
Al our sea. of government the day was
celebrated (Hesven save the mark y by the
Loco'ocos in Convention. Well, at all events
We had a brilliant celebration of our own

DIED

In this city, on Sunday evening last, Mrs.
MARY Y, consort OF MIR. John w. Fuqua,
aged about 2 years.
Seldom, thank God. does it fall 10 our lot to
record an obituary wherein the blow inHicl-
ed by the hand Of death leaves such intense
sorrow impressed upon our heart as is the
case in the present instance. The deceased
was an intimate friend, and her premature
death has left vacant a seat never to he filled
amidst the social circle she so lately formed
one Of, and which she used so much to adorn.
As wife she was all that God in his bounty
ever bestowed upon man. As mother,
Nature never gave 10 offspring more affec-
tionate parent. As a friend, the sacred ties
of friendship once formed. they remained
unsevered save by death. As an acquain.
lance, she possessed all those aniable and
bright ornaments that win the heart, and
render file desire Of vet better knowledge
of their possessor, more and more fervent, a,
" ell as lasting. Mrs. F. has left four child
ran, the oldest Of whom is but little over foul
years Of age, and the youngest scarcely two
weeks old.--God be with them, poor orphans
To do justice 10 the memory of the depar.e,
one, requires other words than we are masie
OF. and far ADLER pen; but the tribute "
rave paid, humble as it is. emanales from tn
heart. We briefly close our painful duty-
the sympathies Of our heart are solely wi,
The disconsolate widower. and his beTeave
little ones.
