This church which was begun about
three years ago, under the pastor
ate of Rev. A. s. Beane, and which
cost from $4,000 to $4,000 was dedicated
last Sunday, March 10. Rev. F. T..
Tagg preached in the morning and
ut night, and Rev. j. D. KiDzer, D.
d., in the afternoon preached an ex
cellent sermon. When Brother
Daugherty went there he found a
debt of 50, 100 and a very discouraged
people. The debt looked 80 big, and
their business was so improbable,
and the people had SO little money
that they were almost ready to give
up in despair; but the pastor inspired
them to give and first collection
amounted to $4,000. Then the
Ladies' Aid Society, the Rosebuds,
the Christian Endeavorers and the
Sunday School and all the members
threw themselves into it with a
hearty good will. Many were strength
ened in their faith by the splendid
generosity of Brother w. H. Ellis,
and the debt was reduced from time
to time until on the day of dedication
the sum of 1910. 30 was asked for to
cancel it all After a day of splendid
giving the money was secured, only a
small part being assumed by the
off cary to complete the payment and
the terrible debt was paid. 1t was a
triumph of faith and sacrifice Of Civ
Jog and grace the like of which we
have not often seen. 1t should be
mentioned that two societies in the
NJ. E. Church made themselves re-
sponsibe for ten dollars each and
thereby proved the cordial fraternity
that exists among the churches there.
1t is beautiful church, with a capa-
city when the Sunday School room is
thrown open into the audience room
of five hundred. Beautiful oak pews
and furniture, organ, steel ceiling,
slate roof, stained-glass widows,
carpeted floor. 1t is monument of
generosity for the splendid people
who built it. The pastor is very
popular and doing q good work.

evening, at s o'clock, in the Oman

strong, clear and interesting and

drawing very vivid picture of the
reign, power, feasting and revelry OF
the ChaTdean king, and the appear
ance of the strange and prophetic
handwriting upon the wall while the
king and his company were at the
last banquet he proceeded to apply
the tragic story to the conditions OF
the present. He drew the parallel
that Belshazzer still reigns with
mighty power; that he is feasting
and revealing In palaces and high
places in our land today, but the
handwriting on the wall has appear
ed and the Interpretation thereof is
that the days of his power are num-
bered and that the last banquet OF
the rum-king is at hand. A large
audience listened to the speaker with
close attention throughout.

s.orenouse ana STOCK orGooas Burned

Sloreh0use md Stock OF Goods Burned
The large storehouse and stock OF
goods of E. P. Byrd s. Bro, Pastoral,
was destroyed by fire early Monday
morning. The fire was accidental
and it's origin cannot be accounted
for. No fire had been kindled in the
store for three days and Mr.. John
Byrd, the junior member of the firm,
had been absent from the store only
about twenty minutes when the alarm
was given. When the fire was dis
covered it had made such Roadway
that it was impossible even to enter
the store, and to make an attempt to
save any of the stock of goods.
Another house belonging to the firm
on the opposite side of the road also
caught fire and was badly damaged
before the flames could be checked.
The loss is a heavy one and estimated
at from $500 to $4,000 There was
no insurance on the goods, the policy
having lapsed only a few days
previous to the fire. The insurance
on storehouse was 81, $50 and on the
damaged house $3.50.
At the request of Messrs Byrd u
Bro, thanks are extended to his
neghbors. through whom valuable
assistance other property was saved
from destruction.

Letters From The people.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I see in your paper
of March 10Th that you say that the
editorial writer of the Accomack
News did not approve of the meet
ings,held at the various places which
you named recommending Dr. Fetch
er and w. Mcdonald Lee, for chair
man and secretary of the Board of
Fisheries. Now sir, l have the kind
est regard for Dr. Fletcher, but don't
you think that the truth should be
told always, as near as possible? Do.
you know who composed these meet
lngs? The Cattail meeting l know
of, which, I thought would be re-
ported to you before this or would
have told you about it. That meet
ing was composed of T. R. Chase,
chairman, Cleopus Chase, secretary,
with Capt. Thomas as chairman and
secretary who went to one neighbours
house and got one man who was a
q tonger to come down to the meet
ing. Now do you think that was a
representative meeting of the oyster
men of Cattail2 Capt. Alsavadus
Chase, Sr, and his son Nora were
there but took no interest in the
meeting. Even the owner of the
store was 30 Disguised with the
meeting that he left his store and
went over to his neighbours store.
Why does Mr.. Thomas do this and
that without the knowledge of the
oystermen? If something happens
he must have the promise of little
golddust from Klondike. l have
understood this morning from good
authority that the Mearsville meet
ing was about the same, only about
one tonger in the meeting with lot
of boys. l think you would do well
in your next issue to ask every mer-
chant where these meetings were
held to write you a letter stating
about how many tongers were present
at these meetings and publish the
same.
Yours Respectfully,
j. r. r.

MR.. ED1ToR:-I notice that an
election has been ordered to be held
on the 23d of April to decide as to
whether or not license shall be gram
ted to sell intoxicating liquors i'll Lee
District. l hope that our good peo-
pie of this district will bear in mind
that the law in reference to liquor
selling without license has been
taken out of the hands of justices of
the peace, and will hereafter come
before our grand jury. Don't be dis
couraged, friends, there will not be
as many jug taverns and speakeasies
in the future as has been in the past.
Vote on the 23d of April to wipe out
this accused traffic. Those who
have been violating the law are
already very uneasy.
