he FIRE THAT NEVER GOES OCT.-About
thee wears ago the Observer reported the case
OF citizen OF Mecklenburg county, n c., who,
having married in 1913, lighted fire on his
heal thstone as soon as he carried his bride TO
his lew home, and had kept It burning ever
since. The citizen was In town YESTERDAY and
being questioned about the matter, stated that
the fire was still burning, and that throughout
all these thirty-six years it had never been
allowed to go out. Questioned as to whether
or not Ii made the house uncomfortably hot Ia
torr1d weather, he said the extra heat thus
generated was not perceptiole. In reply TO
another question, he said that in summer wealth
er, when 1t was necessary for comforts sake to
keep the fire burning very low, he had to get
up frequently at night to replenish it slightly,
but that he counted this as nothing when he
contemplated the idea OF that fire going out
He has evidently formed for 1t strong attach
ment, and yet one would not take him for q
sentimental man. But this fire is to him con-
slant reminder OF the day when he first brought
home his bride. Around 1t his children have
grown up into manhood and womanhood, anu
their children have gaZed into its light. Ii was
the last light that fell upon the eyes or his wife
and he hopes that 1t viii be the last that will
fall upon his. Viewed thus, his sentiment in
the matter can be understood, and so strong is
this sentiment that With the Old man il amounts
almost to passion, II Charlotte Observer
