A Christmas Fire.

About four o'clock last Tuesday
afternoon, the residence of Mr..
Claverie, in Claiborne, was totally
destroyed by FIRE, including most
OF the furniture. The FIRE origi-
mated IN the upper story, and the
family, who we're down stairs.
we're not aware of the fact their
house was burning, until notified
by Mr.. Hardy Smith, ST., who was
riding BY, accompanied BY h's
wife and Mr.. and Mrs. ]. B. Wor-
than. When Mr.. Smith notified
them, they hurried upstairs, and
by that time the entire upper story
was in . blaze.
Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Worthsm
drove quickly to Covington and
gave the alarm, and in short time
= large number Of our citizens were
At the scene, but the bu,lding Was toe
far gone to be saved, but they did
excellent work, Is usual, to prevent
the IRE from spreading to Other
buildings on the pla ce. Weunder'
stand that the house and furniture
were insured, but this will not cover
their loss. 1t was truly an unfor-
,unate affair occurring on Christina,
Day. and Mr.. Claverie and family
have the sympathy Of the entire
community III their misfortune.

10 make It so, were pessimists. There are
people today who try to coniure by tho
name of Lincoln who. had they lived IN
the days OF the civil war, would have OPP
posed him. They would have been 2essi-
mists then, as they are TO-DAY. The pessi-
mists who frequently uuote Abraham LIN
coin In support of Populism, single tax
and their bastard Democracy are clearly
tho lineal descendants Of that class whom
Christ denounced when he said Woe
unto yonl for we build the sepulchers OF the
prophets and your fathers killed them"
When Mr.. Bryan pretends to glorlfy Mr.
Lincoln 10y making him also a Dessi mist ha
puts himself in the class of scribes. phari-
sees and hypocrites and perverters of truth
whom Christ denounced. The sole dlstinc-
ton OF Mr.. Bryan Is that among the Petit
crews and the COxeys and all the other
pessrmists he is facile princeps These peo-
pie see nothing but evil ard when they
can't see 1t they invent Il. What founda-
ton, for instance. has there ever been for
that hoary old lie that the opposition is
always bought with British gold 1t has
been doing service ever since Gen WASH
ington's day. and he was bought with Brit
ish gold. Since the crime Of 1873 we have
been bought scores of times ~ the Roths-
childs. and Mr.. Bryan has within d few
weeks ins,Ilted the intelligence CT the peo-
pie Of this Coast by declaring that as A
result Of deep laid conspiracy and cor
ruption our finances are today domlnat ted
by England.
The pessimists who are without virtue
or honesty of their own are the people
who are eternally clamoring that every
man and every woman has his or her
price; and the political pessimist, who Is
everlastingly talking about imaginary
corrupt combinations and conspiracies is
almost invariably rascal who liz griev-
ing because fortune has never thrown a
bride In his way. To have a generous
faith In man and woman, in truth. in
tegrity and the unsehshness OF others, is
the best proof that you possess those
qualities yourself. The man who fiouts
at purity, who is incapable OF believing
in the unselhshness OF others who be-
lieves that everybody but himself Is pur-
chasable and dishonest proclaims and ad-
vertises his own moral bankruptcy.
In private life the pessimist takes pleas
ure in looking at the dark side of society
and of his Individual neighbor. and hts
Imagination makes up for any lack of
real faults. on the other hand the OPP
timist wishes TO think the best and is
swift to recognize his neighbours virtues.
This acts as "A powerful incentive to good.
for when others think well of us we try
to live up to their good opinion. Optim-
ism promotes mutual self-respect, hegets
good will among men, cements friendship
and It is the only possible foundation

"IinCO1n,s Code,

The next important step in this evolu-
