Two of the buildings at Davis
Military School at Winston, n.
c., were burned yesterday morn

buildings were a part Of the
barracks occupied by the cadets.

prompt work of the fire depart

and Salem, prevented a heavy
loss. We are glad to know thai

volume of business that should
be truly a source of pride no
only to the excellent gentlemen
of the above firm, but to every
public-spirited citizen of Colds
boro. as we'll, because it shows
beyond all possibility of contra
vention that the trade Of Colds
boro is widening and deepening
every year, and is already IN tn
aggregate superior to that of an,
other town of its size in tn
State.
