THE OLD POINT FIRE.
Further Particulars--The Extent of
the Less.

OLD POINT COMFORT, VA. Deem
midnight that the fire at the Sherwood
House was finally extinguished. and the
conauering of the flames was largely due
to the untiring efforts of the members of
the Phoebus Fire Department, which
reached the scene shortly before those
from Hampton arrived.
The main building. fronting on the
street, Is a complete wreck, bat the eff
forts of the soldiers prevented the fire
from reaching the rear Of the house. All
the furniture in the building. however.
was carried out, and deposited on the
opposite side of the street by the enlist
ed men of the garrison, and was more
or less damaged in transit.
It Is the first fire we have had at
the post since the introduction OF water
from Newport News, and II has demon
strated the fact that the pressure is not
great enough to throw a stream over the
top of the Sherwood House. II was
not until after our steam engins and the
one from Phoebus got to work, drawing
water from the moat, that the fire was
brought under control. Had shis been
done In the first place much OF the loss
might have been prevented.
From the best information oStalnable
the fire appears to have originated from
the furnace which had been oterheated.
and caused the hot-air pipes TO set
fire TO the walls. There was some TWEEN
ty-hve or thirty thousand dollars insur-
ance on the building and furniture. which
will 60 far 10 making good the loss.
A number OF guests who were in the
house made a narrow escape. some of
them in their night-clothes. AID made
their way 20 the Hygea and Cklmberln
where they were provided for.

WYTHENILLE.
A slick Robbery-May Give the ne
publicans Trouble.

WYTHEVILLE. VA. December o.
(Special1-Professor and Mrs. w. A
Evans. of Sharon. Bland county. were
IN Wytheyille Saturday doing some hol'-
day shopping. and left late in the evening
on their return trip home. which is some
eighteen miles from here. On the pack
of their vehicle was tied valise. III
which was stored some vaIuables. Wheh
they reached home they found that the
straps holding the valise had been cut
and the valise and contents stole. FRO
lessor Evans returned to Wytheville yes
terday in search of his stolen property,
hut he failed 10 find clue TO the thief
or the property. He says tnat ne II
confident that the robbery was committed
while they were ascending OF descend
ing the mountains between Wythevilie
and Sharon.
An exceedingly pretty. but unusual.
phenomenon was witnessed I'm the eastern
sky here Monday night. about O'Clock.
II was three distinct rainbows. TWO OF
Them were exceedingly bright. while the
third was not so much so. They were
visible for nearly fifteen minutes. There
had been no rain IN this locality LOT
some DAYS. and has been none since.
In fact. the thermomete- at that time
was several degrees belo~ zero.
Edward Halter. wel~known young
negro of this place, formerly a teacher
in the negro free schools here, has an
nounced that he IS a candidate for the
post-office. There are also two other
aspjrants for the office. but they are
white men. But Postmaster kents time
does not expire until July. 1928 This
negro 'in the woodpile" may give the
Republicans some trouble. Without the
negro vote the Republicans would have
lost this county and district by large
majority in November. The Republicans
are indebted to the negroes. but whether
they will admit the debt and pay II is
another question.
Cadet Roy Sexton. of this place. has
been forced to leave the Virginia Mill
tary Institute. on account of his eyes.
Lee Trinkle is at home from the Uni
yersity for the holidays.
Mr.. J. Ran. Boiling has returned from
a trip to Washington city.
Chesley Peoples. a county prisoner. who
escaped from the Jail here some months
ago. ventured to return TO town. and
was captured by Policemen Meyers and
Belvin on Saturday night.
From present indications. our town
