A Destructive Fire.

The most disastrous fire in the history
of Laurel occurred Tuesday night, result
ing in the destruction of $4,000 worth OF
property. The First Baptist Church and
the Masonic Temple are in ashes.
The fire started in the vestry of the
church, near the roof, shortly after 5
o'clock, and it is believed to have been of
incendiary origin, as a man was seen run
ming from the church just after the flames
were discovered. He was not recognized.
In short time the handsome church was
all ablaze. The flames communicated to
the Masonic Temple and soon that build
ing was seen to be doomed also.
The fire was discovered just about the
time the republican parade was marchin g
up the main street, and the excitement had
the effect of detracting from the meetih g
that was held.
The First Baptist Church was built three
years ago at cost of 5000, includining
the furniture. 1t was about 30 by 60 feet.
The insurance on the church is $500 1t
has a congregation of 300 persons and will
be rebuilt. The pastor is Rev. j. R. FiZer
The Masonic Temple was valued at So,
900 and was insured for So 800 1t was a
two story structure.

Gladness Comes

With a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge. that SO many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease. but simply to a constipated condl-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when You pur-
chase. that you have the genuine artl-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease. one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians. but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and give most general satisfaction.
