FIRES.

On Wednesday morning the trash which
had been swept into one of the heater 1ues
at the Opera House, took fire, and but for
it's discovery would have extended to the
building.
On..Wednesday night, about II O'Clock,
by spontaneous combustion, some oil bar
rels in Allen & Hogshead's back cellar,
blazed up. MI. Hogshead and another per-
son who were in the front cellar were
forced to escape by way of the cellar gra-
ting in the pavement. Had that been lock-
ed, as it usually is, they must haveperished.
Mr.. Hogshead's face was badly burned.
Two dogs that were in the cellar were suf-
located by the smoke. The fire department
pnt cut the fire, but the store was damaged
to the extent of 81 600. It will be put to
rights aud opened in day OIL two.
Yesterday morning about O'Clock, the
bark mill at the Tannic Acid Works took
fire, but the flames were extinguished by
the employees.

About Churches and Pastors.

There was a large congregation at the
Seco I'D Presbyterian church Sunday when
MI. M. f. Gilkeson was ordained as Elder
of that church. MI. d. F. Hughes another
newly elected Elder had been ordained at a
prev ious service. In view OF the meeting
of Lexington Presbytery in this church on
the2d of May, committee Of arrangements
and reception was appointed, consisting OF
Mes SIS. J. T. Lightner, A. M. Howison
and A. S. Morton, and those who propose to
ente rtain delegates are requested to report
to ny member of this committee OF to the
pastor, Rev. VIM. Cumming, how many OF
whom they wish assigned to them. Delegates
proposing to attend are also requested ia
communicate the fact at once to this COM
nit tee. Lexington Presbytery, if all the
members are present, has lao clerical and
lay delegates, and is larger than many of
the Synods of the Southern General Assem-
| bly,.
The Session of the Second Presbyterian
church elected Messrs. B. F. Hughes and
M. +. Gilkeson as delegate and alternate to
Presbytery, and Elders Jed. Hotchkiss, II.
| w. Henry, T.. G. Morton and B. E.
Hughes, delegates to the Elders convention
which meets in Richmond on the 9th.

over $500, and the Easter offering of the
Sabbath School children for the diocesan
missions, recommended to them by the
| olo tod To hondcnno III nf
| 1927. 4S. Of this the little infant class con-
tributed $40. The Offering of the children
was very pretty affair, each bringing
| flowers to central stand and depositin G
them with their money.
The Easter choral service at Christ Lu-
theran church, Sunday, was superb. In the
afternoon the service for the Sabbath School
was also very fine, and included the "Morn
of MOrns" responsive service by the
children. There were added to this church
Sunday, 10y confirmation, Q by baptism
and by certifcate-15 in all.

One WAY an Accident Costs.

The earnings Of the Chesapeake 81 Ohio

crease Of $l3 ,6S5 sc, as compared with those
for the corresponding week of last year.
This is the first decrease in earnings the
Chesapeake & Ohio has shown any week for
months. 1t is the result of the Interrupt
ton to traffic for thirty hours that week
caused by the injury to a bridge on the

me from actual experience that it will not
cost $100.
Then 1 will have twenty boards made for
the boys to begin the first steps to carpen-
tering. These boys will be taken from the
I'd and Sd grammar grades. The cost of the
material, outfit, and everything for the first
year will not exceed $40.
Then will take girls from the I'd and Sd
grammar grades to learn sewing. The cost
of the material for the girls to work on, will
not exceed $50.
This far 1 hope to get i'll the first year.
In the second year the 1st and I'd grammar
grades will continue the work begun by the
I'd and Sd. We will add full outfit for
the Sloyd work, and probably may add it
during the first year. In the Sc cond year
we also hope to have an outfit for cooking
to he learned by forty girls. The cost will
not exceed 800 for the outfit and $50 a
year for the material used.
This thing of manual training has a won
derful effect in drawing the mind to in
struction. 1t cannot be appreciated until
it has been witnessed. In Boston / saw
it's effect strongly demonstrated. I was
told that with the girls and boys engaged
in manual training there was no disposition
to idle OF waste time. All were seri
GUS and in earnest in their work. I was
told by instructors that no boy would think
of playing truant on the day for carpen
tering.

MOUNT MORGAN.

will be suitably inscribed with the name
of the institution profting by his serv-
ices, so that every one will know toward
what object they are contributing.
When necessary, he win be sent ON
house to house canvass, for he is so sa-
gacious that he can be taught with the
greatest ease. Unfortunately, no &C
curate account has been kept of his col
lections while in London, but they are
known to have amounted to many thou
sands Of dollars.
Mount Morgan, or Hero, as he is called
in private life, was born in England on
the 10th of June, 1887, and arrived in
America by the White Star steamer
Tauric on Feb. 90 last.
His sire was the champion prize win
ner Save, and his dam was Sabrina. He
Is a brother Of the renowned Lord Butte,
who died on May 10 last at the Mention
kennels, Phenixville, Pa. Lord Butte
had won over twenty-six first prizes and
weighed s2j pounds before his last fatal
illness.
Although somewhat smaller than his
brother was, Mount Morgan is much
more typical and for this reason is con-
sidered by many ne superior animal of
the two. Ceri4ia y no dog could excel
him in temper nd intelligence. His
gentle manner how his admirable
breeding, ana De- hight be allowed to

Mount Morgan has made his record, and
considering the risks encountered al

be sad thing if this noble brute should
be numbered with them.
