5OO-Heavy Blow to Town.
From Daily Sentinel, A pril Il
The town of Mt. Airy had narrow
escape from being destroyed by fire
early yesterday morning.
AS it was. the large Planters brick
tobacco warehouse, together with the
Moody s. Olive tobacco works. on the
second story of the warehouse, and
two blacksmith shops near by were
consumed by the fire.
The first news of the cor-f lgratiOn
was brought to Winston by wo um-
mers who arrived here yesterday af
ternoon. Futher particulars were
who arrived from the 'Grauite City,
on the 5:l5 Wilkesboro train
The SENTINEL last night received
a postal card from Mt Airy telling
about the fire which was first diScov-
cred about 4:45 a N. 1t started in an
unoccupied part of the warehouse
When the alarm was turned in excite
ment among the citizens and guests
at the Blue Ridge Inn Hotel, which
Is uCdl bJJ OCCd"S UCuSC- liz AOUSl
people rushed out Of the building on
double quick" time.
The loss is placed at 5000 with
about 81, 7,500insurance.
The warehouse was owned by Mr..
Rufus Roberts but was leased by
Brown & Co.
Mr.. Shepherd says the wind was
blowing from the northeast. Had it
been coming from the southeast he
thinks tie entire town would have
been destroyed, For some time it
looked like livery stable and the
hotel would be burned anyway Fences
were torn down to prevent the fire
from spreading.
Mt. Airy has no water works and
is therefore not in shape to fight fires.
From the postal card received it is
learned that the fire was under con-
troll at O'Clock yesterday morning. 1t
is sad blow to the town. The ware
house may not be rebuilt.

PARADE OF WILD GEESE.

They Flew Low at Night and We're
Knocked Down With Poles.
The people of Beloit, Kan, observed
a remarkable flight of wild geese on
Sunday night. They began to pass
over the town about bedtime, flew
very low. and their calls were distinct
ly heard by the people. As the flight
was continuous and the geese so nu-
merous, men and boys armed with
shotguns and rifles stationed them
selves in the streets and discharged
their guns in the direction of the
sound.
The geese seemed to be attracted by
the electric lights, and boys and wo-
men armed with brooms, clothes poles.
and clubs mounted the housetoDs and
struck them as they passed over. Next
morning over 200 dead geese were
found on the ground.

Col. Boyd Goes to Washington.

The fight over the Eastern Judge
ship is getting warm. Col. Boyd, of
Greensboro, received about half dOz-
en- kilograms Tuesday urging him to
come on to Washington without de-
lay. However, these things did not
disturb him in the least, but that
night he got one from a certain gen.
tleman which did move him and he
left on the 11:44 train.
The Record says everybody who
knows Col. Boyd intimately knows
why he has not already been appoint
ed. 1t is because he has not pushed
the matter. In fact he does not care
a cent about tits not to his liking
yet his friends are impOrtunate and
want him to 90 in for it.

RETRIBUTI0N.

A good man died:
At least the world so called HIM;
For had he not been active in good
works,
No; turned away his ear
From plea of suffering OF of want?
And had he not been elder in the
church
And regular in attendance
Or failed in aught of his religious
duties?
Nor had he wrouged bis fellow-man
In dealings at the desk or counter
But gave to every man his due
And SO this good man died;
And straight to Heavens gate
He made his way
Expecting speedy entrance!
But at the portal st, Peter stood
And babe HIM halt
And thus addressed him:
Thou art married man.
And on the earth
Thou left three daughters fair
And wife who shared thy daily toll;
Their cheeks are yet believed
With tears fer thy departure;
And you shall weep for them
A thousand years
Ere sharing Heavens glories
For they are destitute
Made so by your imprudence!
You could have left them free from
care
And worry over money;
But no-yOu said, "God will provide
And turned away the agent;
Forgetting that God works through
man
And human institutions.
Did'st thou not read in holy writ
That he who for his own
Provideth not
Is worse than an infdel?
And no lnfidel entereth Hcaven!"
(From the Christian Evangelist
Do you refuse to carry insurance
because you can't afford it?
The Phoenix Mutual will convince
you that that Is no longer valid ex-
cuse.
Are you pOstponing insurance till
next year when you hope to have a
larger income?
You are sure of passing a satisfac-
tory medical examination only at the
present moment, and it will pay you
to see how cheaply you can secure in
surance IN the Phoenix Mutual.
Do you carry insurance enough to
provide a suitable income for your
family in event of your death?
You ought to, and the Phoenix Mu-
tual can help you.
Drop line TO J. B. Abrams district
general agent and have HIM to call
and show you the new forms of insur-
ance.

Captain w. S. Richardson, Of the
brig Havilah, who is now in this port
after an absence of 81 years, tells an
interesting story of the naval features
of the OWL war, and of his association
with semmes, the great naval COM
mander of the coDfederacy.
Captain Richardson was first mate
of the American brig Maid IN 1861,
when his vessel was captured by the
confederate man. of var Sumpter, off
the Cuban coast, Sem es beng in COM
mand. A pr re Grew vas put on board
the Nalad in command of a seilmaker,
whom to the great Joy of Captain
Richardson, proved to be an old friend
and shipmate. This, of course, made
things pleasant for the captain, and
he really enjoyed the period of de-
tention.
Captain Richardson is surprised
at the great change that has been
wrought in Brunswick since his last
visit u years ago. Then the town
consisted Of few frame houses and
one or two wharves, There we're only

What He Did.

The author Of Thoughts for the Peo-
pie" tells a suggestive aneCdOte OF a
man who scandalized an entire COM
munity by spending most of his time
indoors, engaging in reading and study.
This waste of golden hours gave pecul-
lar pain to an energetic farmer, says
the Youths Companion, who finally
asked the new neighbor why he did not
work for living like other men. The
apparent idler replied, in Yankee fash
ion, by a question about plow he had
seen in the farmers barn.
"It's the best plow ever made" an
swered the farmer 1T does twice the
work of an old-fashioned plow. But l
don't see what that's got to do with
the question of your earning your liv-
ing"
Il invented that plow," said the
other calmly.
1t is seldom possible to fix the exact
value Of another mans achievements.
1t is never safe to estimate his work
by the noise he makes. A prisoner in
the treadmill is one of the most active
men on earth, but what does his in
dustry profit? Great works grow slow
ly and in silence, and the man who
promises least may some day command
the most potent forces.

FLOWING Out the Candle.

NO end of merriment has frequently
been created by this simple, innocent
game. 1t is equally interesting to olu
people and to little children, for III
many cases those who have prldeu
themselves on the accuracy of their cal
culatIng powers and the clearness OF
their mental vision have found them
selves utterly defeated in it. A light
ed candle must be placed on small
table at one end of the room, with
plenty of walking space left clear IN
front of it. One of the company IS in
vited to blow out the flame blindfold.
Should any one volunteer he is placed
exactly in front Of the candle, while
the bandage is being fastened on his
eyes, and told to take three steps back,
turn round three steps, then take three
steps forward ard blow out the light.
No directions could sound more sim
pie. The opinion that there is moth
ing in it has often been expressed by
those who have never seen the thing
done. Not many people, however, are
able to manage 1.-THE reason why,
you young people will soon find out,
if you decide to give the game fair
trial.

HunkprlS,

The DunkaIds. or Tunkers, belong to
a sect founded in 17O8 at Schwarzenau,
Germany, by Alexander Mack and seven
others, who rejected the doctrines of
paedo-baptism. The name is nick
name, derived from the German Tunker
to dip-members of the sect styling
themselves Brethren. Persecution
drove the founders to Holland, and be-
tween 1919 and 1929 they all emigrated
thence to America. They are found in
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio
and Indiana, and it is apparent that
some have found their way further
west, but their numbers all told are
not great. Their church discipline is
nearly the same as that OF otner Bap-
lists, except that every brother is al
lowed to eXhort. Men found apt to
teach are ordained ministers, and the
oldest teachers bishops. The Dunkards
affect great plainncss of speech and
dress, like the Quakers; neither take
oaths, fight, nor go to law; and former
" they took no interest. They cele-
brate the taking of the sacrament with
love feasts, washing of feet, the kiss
of charity, and the right hand of fell
lowship; anoint the sick with oil for
recovery; and practice complete i'm
mersion, with laying on of hands and
prayer even while the person baptized
is in the water.-N. Y. Tribune.
