Madison District Teachers Institute.
This association for mutual improve
mant and the advancement of the great
cause Of education was organized by our
teachers mole than tour years ago, and
since that time more or less successful
bl-woekly meetings have been held during
the school term. It's latest session &C.
Cured Dec q, 1892; and, in the absence
Of our President, the Institute was called

and P. Killer made Secretary. Exercises
were opened with a very appropriate and
Impressive word of prayer by Rev. II. S.
Coo. The Institute was also favored by
the presence Of the entire board OF dis
tIict school trustees, Miss Mollie LantZ

a number of laly visitors.

House Burned.

The alarm Of fire on Wednesday of las
weeF, was caused by the burning Of {
small building on small cross street or
the eastern edge of town, occupied by
Wallace Minnick. The fire originated
as usual, from a stove.pipe passing
through the root, and had gained con-
siderable Roadway among the tinder-like
material when first discovered.
BY the time the engine arrived the
whole upper part was blazing fiercely, and
as the only water available was in a
small private cistern at Mr. Saml. Byrd
residence it was evident that the build.
ing was doomed. Everything was car
ried out even to the hot cooking stove up
on which meal was being prepared.
Upon attempting to work the engine 1t
was found that something was wrong and
it was quite while, under such circum-
stances, before it was discovered that
water had been left in the engine and had
of coarse frozen. The engine and all the
apparatus should be kept in the best
possible condition at all times. Such
negligence is fool-hardy and may prove
fearfully costly. The fire company should
be recognized and made effective. Our
present slip-shod arrangement is danger
Gus trining with all the property in town.
If the Town Council have the power
they should pass law imposing severe
penalties upon all who refuse to work at
a fire when called Oh. 1t is common
thing to see sble-bodied men, property
owners, too, stand stoldly by deaf TO
every appeal made to them to assist in
working the engine &c. while others who
have not cents worth at stake work
themselves into utter exhaustion. And
right here we want to say for our colored
people that they never shirk, but always
nobly and faithfully do their whole duty.

An Elegant Banquet.

Among the festivities and enjoyable
affairs that marksd the holiday week in
Woodstock the leading one was the splen-
did entertainment and banquet given by
King Arthur Lodge Knights Of Pythiss to
their lady friends at the Shenandoah
House, on the night of Wednesday, Dec.
2Sth. Nearly every member of the order
was in attendance, and almost every one
was accompanied by wife, daughter,
sweethsart or lady friend, 80 that the
spacious parlor of the hotel was crowded
with the merry throng, each ole Of them
seeming to be upon the top wave Of rare
en- joyment and pleasure. Even the most
staid of the married folks appeared to be
quite youthful again and We'd with the
youngest in being delightfully."- entertain
ing. Music, mirth and song ruled the
hour, as each heart grew light from
the happiness around. The call to supper
brought the party to the handsomely dec
GRATED dining room where two long and
beautifully furnished tables were literally
loaded with all that could tempt the appe-
tite. To give the menu would take up
every inch of our space, and we can only
say that nothing surprising it has ever
been here, and the Knights and their
guests will ever gratefully remember Mrs
Laughlip, who WAS the moving spirit
After all were moro than satisfied num-
Der Of appropriate toasts were eloquently
responded to by Knights, II. L. Walton.

ing IN the State, and is rapidly growing
IN membership.
