Hayden g. Eckles Burned Out.

On Saturday afternoon about FIVE
o'clock fire was discovered in the
general store building of Messrs.
Hayden & Eckles at Mountain Lake
Park land at the time of the discovery
the fire had gained such headway
that it was impossible to check the
flames. Ina few minutes the build
ing was in ashes as was also the sta
BILE belonging to the firm which was
situated in the rear and in close
proximity to the store building.
The family of Mr.. Eckles occu-
pied the second floor of the building
and upon the first alarm he ran up
the stairway to warn them of their
danger, but fortunately they were
out on visit to friends in the Park.
Mr.. Eckles saved only a few Of his
household goods. A few suits of
clothing and the books of the firm
were the only things saved from the
store. In the ware room adjoining
the store was stored a car lo&d of
flour and large quantity of oats
aDd other grain.
The loss to the firm will be about
IS, 300; insurance, 50, 800 with Mr..
Fred. A. Thayer, agent.
This is the second fire in the his,
tory of the Park, the first one hav-
ing destroyed an clubhouse belong
ing to DR.. j. Lee McComas. The
fire is supposed to have been the re-
suit of sparks escaping flom de-
fectively constructed flue.
The building will be recon,

The death of Robert Fraction,
familiarly known as "Uncle Bob, ,"
which occurred here at 10 o'clock
Sunday night, Noyember oath, calls
for something more than passing
notice.
His father and mother, Thomas
and Sallie Fraction, were owned by
-'ti1ontss ShLeGtte, one OF the most
prominent men of Augusta county,
Va, who also raised Uncle Bob.
He was born near Mt. Sidney,
Augusta county, Va, May, 1910,
and married Kittie Peasants, who
still survives him, January l 1867,
lie had two brothers and three sis
ters. a telegram was received only
a few days before he passed away
announcing his brother John 5
death in Staunton, Va. The sad
news was never impaired to him.
Uncle Bob was converted and
joined the NJ. Z. church in 1866
and remained a consistent and
worthy member of that church to
his death. lie was honored and
respected by those who raised him
and knew him from his cradle up,
as well as every one here, where he
settled some ten years ago. Nc
man in this community, white OF
colored, commanded the esteem and
confidence of every one to greater
extent than he did. lie was kind
and a1fable, ready at all times tt
perform every duty devolying upor
him in a most pleasant and agreea
ble manner. He will not soon be
forgotten even by the children tC
whom he was ever kind and consid.
crate. Uncle Bob belonged to that
faithful class of colored people in
the south who won the confidence
and respect of their old masters and
mistresses and their children and
were considered and treated as
members of the same family, and
who are now fast passing away.
HIS remains were laid to rest on
Thanksgiving day in the family
burying ground near his old home
in the beautiful valley of Virginia
Death comes to us all sooner OIL
later-the high and the low, the
rich and the poor. A few more
joys and sorrows, few more hon
est tears, and the "curtain vii
drop" on us too. May we be as
ready to "cross over the river as
Uncle Bob.

Dean Barrett Commences His EVanse.
liStic Work at the Monumental.
ATTRACTING LARGE AUDIENCES.

day SermOns-iiis Theme Last
Night Was "GOd, the Soul of the
Universe.

The contemplated mission at
Monumental church opened on Sunday
morning under the most lattering and
encouraging auspices. Not since last
spring have such large congregations at
tended divine services in this historic
old structure as filled its auditorium on
Sunday and yesterday. These special
meetings commenced at the usual morn,
ing service on Sunday. They are beS
ing conducted by Dean Robert 5. Bar
rett. the celebrated Episcopal evangelist,
whose power and eloquence have so far
charmed his Richmond audiences.
Mr.. Barrett IS a thoroughbred man.
He has travelled all over the world in
order that he might learn the conditions
and characteristics OF all nations, and
thereby be enabled to illustrate or prove
what he teaches. At the Sunday morn
ing service Dean Barrett took his text
from Genesis H.. 9TH verse: And the
Lord God formed man OF the dust Of
the ground, aud breathed into his nostrils
the breath OF life, and man became a
living soul
TO CONDUCT \ MISSION.
Mr.. Barrett said h. came to Monu-
mental to conduct mission" and he
liked the word. 1t means that God had
sent him, not that he had come Of him
