Fire at Tillery.

Fire at 1llery.
On Sunday morning about 6 o'clock
fire broke out in Mr. j. X. Weeks store
at TiIlery, and before sufficient help
could reach the scene the building was
entirely consumed with its stock of
goods. Three other buildings were also
consumed, Mr.. P. G. Riddick's store,
the building in which Mr.. Jas. NJ. Til
lery kept the post Office and a beef stall.
Mr.. Weeks loss was about So 800 with
81 900 Insurance. Mr.. Riddick's loss
was 81 900 or more. Mr.. Tillery's loss
could not be exactly estimated. He
lost all his postage stamps and his pos
tai cards. The loss of the beef stall was
not very much.
No one knows how the fire originated,
but it was thought that perhaps match
es were struck by rats in the building.
Mr. b. F. Tillery's store near by bare
ly escaped, being charred ON the side
next to the fire, and posts Of the build
ing having caught but the flames were
extingu!shed.
Two persons sleeping in one of the
buildings, Mess. 2. G. Riddick and
Henry Biggs, barely escaped with their
lives Mr.. Riddick ran great risk in
securing a suit of clothes before leav-
ing the burning building, and Mr..
Biggs was forced to leave his clothes
behind

lNOAN IN
These patient colOniSts were still
loyal to the King and subservient to
the laws of Parliament and had in
no way manifested a disposition to
set up new form of independent
government.
The fact of the matteriS they were
getting along elegantly. They had
plenty of money to do business with,
and were exporting more products
than they were importing. This con
ditiOn of affairs was the thorn in the
flesh of Johnny Bull. The English
lords, the BarOnS the ariSt0cracy as
we'll as the king were feaSting and
gloating over the prospect OF the
great wealth which would be created
in the "new world by their subjects,
and by and through the laws of Eng
| land would be transferred to their
Golfers. The balance of the trade was
now in favor Of the colonies. How
did this come about, simply this and
nothing more. Prior to the issuing
of the colonial paper currency, nearly
all the money used by the cOlonstS
was borrowed from foreign countries.
The interest amounted to millions
which had to be sent abroad which
was then, and is yet, an eating
cancer upon the energies Of industry
Every year some of the principal and
and all the interest was figured and
included in the balance of account
Just as it is to-day, and called "bal
ance of trade" l told you in my
other article that the cOlOniStS during
the last few years Of this paper money
period had exported this mean,
shipped out of the country sufficient
agricultural products to pay theil
debts to their friends across the
water, consequently this was very
noticeable in the nations balance sheet
and the Americans prosperity. Nov
all that was necessary for these people
to keep out of the clutches Of tn,
mother country was by exporting a,
many dollars worth as they imported
This the colonies did for the next twC
years after they were practically Ou
of debt. / also stated that the money
power Of England had become impa
tient because wealth was not pouring
into their laps as it did before O
as they expected, and they demanded
the reason of parliament. Durinj
those days a voyage across the Sc;
. was slow and hazardous, as ships wer
, propelled by sails and the wind, an,
, travelling from one colony to anOthe
: liz America through heavy forest
without roads horseback and some
times a foot always with a guard 0
. Tories Especially when the importan
parsonage was dressed in kne
! breeches and red coat also was slow
| Therefore two years had necessaril
elapsed since parliament, had obeye
, the demand of the money power @
England and sent member OF pal
lament to America to ascertain VIII
the colonists had quit using Englis
gold and other kinds of Englis
money, and why wealth had nearl
ceased coming from the new worlC
, The member who was sent on thi
!, important message finally returne
and made his report, which was |
!, substance, this: That the America
colonists were wonderful In man
things, especially their prospetit!

As cold rs any icicle.
He never on railroad went,
And never rode bicycle.
He read by no electric lamp.
Nor heard about the Yellowstone;
He never licked postage stamp,
And never saw telephone.
His trousers ended ut the knees:
By wire he could not send dispatch;
He filled his lamp with whale oil grease,
And never had a match 10 scratch.

All work is With such dashing done
