Fire.

Saturday night at eleven o'clock the
alarm of fire was sounded on the streets.
The fire was in the upstairs of Mr.. Dunn's
livery stables. 1t will be remembered
that these stables had not been long COM
pleted, were built Of good heart pine and
were, perhaps, the best stables in the
State for a town the size of Scotland Neck.
At the time of the fire there wero in the
stables twelve horses and twelve buggies
and harness: there was also feed to the
amount of ssoe. Luckily all the horses and
buggies were saved but five new sets of
harness. ALI the feed, curry combs
blankets, &c. were destroyed. There was
very little wind, but being heart lumber
and dry it quickly burned down. The fire
was started i'll the fodder upstairs and
could not be put out. The people, both
white and black, worked hard but to NO
effect. The loss is s2,5)O with 81 900 in
surance. Mr.. Dunn is ready for the pub
lie now. He is now iii Mr.. Bells stables
ami the public will find the same good
horses and huggies. lie is. we understand,
going to build again. The fire was the
work Of an incendiary.

4 Piece of the Old Apple Tree.

Often have we heard Of the historic ap>
pie tree under which the confederate chief
tain surrendered. but never till last Frs
day did we see a piece oft. We had heard
how, the day after z. E. Lee offered his
sword to Grant, the Southern soldiers
locked to the old apple tree and all,
who could, took piece of it as token OF
that scene. They say not sprig or root
of the tree remained to mark the spot. Is it
not strange how the veterans of that war
cherish its memories? Those who were
lucky enough to get chip of the apple
wood have ever kept it as something al
most sacred. Mr. W. L. Parker Of Scots
land Neck. who belonged to the Sixth N.
C. Regiment, is one who possesses such q
chip. 1t is about two inches long, one and
quarter inches wide and about three
sixteenths of an inch thick. 1t has the
letters r. E. T.. burned on it. MIR. Parker
carries i. in his pocket wrapped IN paper.
He tells us that he has had it with him
ever since the tenth of April 1865. Such
relics by old soldiers are regarded rs
treasures such is thus one considered
The Democrat. (Scotland Neck, Halifax Co., N.C.) 1884-1896, 1885-04-16
BEAUTIFUL.

On Wednesday evening of last week it
seemed that Nature had collected all her
rays Of beauty and spread them out on
the clouds high up the western slope
For short while the movements Of the
clouds high above the horizon showed
signs of gathering and terrific winds.
Then suddenly, as if some master spirit.
like great Neptune Of old had sharply re-
buked the winds and sent them back with
commanding words to the shut up cave of
their own peculia, king, the clouds became
calm like the bosom of placid sea. Then
a crimson tinged curtain hero and there
varicgated by an auburn hue, seem ed
hung behind the everlasting hills to
show the resplendent colors collected
there. The waving scintillation from the
rapid bolts of great Jove for moment
increased the beauty Of the scene by
flashing here and there a line of mystic
rlous writing, and then like the brush to
spoil the painters masterpiece of art, the
fast falling rain drops shut the scene and
We turned away to contemplate the firm
ament showeth His handiwork.'
The Democrat. (Scotland Neck, Halifax Co., N.C.) 1884-1896, 1885-04-16
we need Il Market.

The hotelists and boarding house keeps
erS say that just now better market
would he very great convenience to them
Ne think that nothing would add more to
the conyeniences for these and for house,
keepers generally tnan the establishment
of as good market as the S,lrrnun ding
county can supply. Amy one who would
give such an enterprise his entire atten>
ton could make handsome income and
serve the town lii very worthy capacity.
scotland Neck ought to have a market
that vii! furnish anything to be found in
the business. such as beef, fish, chicken.
eggs, butter. vegetables, &c. We do not
mean that we have no market facilities at
all. but we offer this as suggestion, that
/. larger business of the kind would pay
better aud make conveniences for our peO-
pie much better.

another note has been received, this time
