The Mississippi legislature is gettir

The Mississippi legislature is getting
ready to pass an unjust measure to di-
vide the school fund between the
whites and Afro-Americans in propor-
ton to the amount of taxes each class
pays. The result of this will be to de-
prive nine-tenths of the Afro-Ameri-
cans of all educational privileges and
thus by increasing the ignorance
among them to practically disfranchise
the race.

The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1900-02-20

The eldest of the three is Edward
Groom, residing on Garden street, who
was born January 8, 1908, and is now in
his 93d year. He is remarkably active
man and is able to do an ordinary days
labor. He possesses all his faculties,
being able to recite many historical events
connected with the town and county
He is still able to read the finest print
without the aid of glasses. His wife,
who died but few years ago, lived to eel
citrate her 98th birthday.
Asa Gaskill celebrated his 91st birth
day on Thurday last 9Th inst, having
been born in 16O9 He also resides on
Garden street, where he conducted the
carriage manufacturing business which is
now being carried on by his son, Judson
Gaskill While not as well preserved In
health and body as Mr.. Groom, he enjoys
fairly good health for man of his age.
On Sunday last Joseph Estill, residing
on Church street, celebrated his Goth birth
day. He was born near Burr's Mill, on
January II, 1910, and came to Mount Holly
in October, 1926, and learned the trade OF
cabinet maker and turner. He was mar
ried in 1881 to Meribah Love Morton and
had ten children; six now living. In 1885
he started in business for himself and still

Sunday Morntne Fire.

An alarm of fire was rung at half past
one o'clock Sunday morning, caused by
fire having been discovered in the shoe
store of Harry NJ Abdill, on Mill street.
Policeman Severns was passing the store
and saw smoke coming from the front
door. He ran to America hose house and
rang the bell, but the people were sleep
ing very soundly and he had hard work
to arouse them. But those who did get
out worked hard The hose carriages,
running through the snow, pulled like
log wagons, but they all reached the fire.
An attempt was made to get the steamers
out but they were abandoned within a
short distance of the houses. They were
not needed however, as the plug streams
were more than sufficient to subdue the
flames.
The fire was in the back of the store,
under stairway between the shoe store
and Stead's grocery. The smoke rolled
out in great volume at the front of the
building leading to the impression that
the fire was all in that place. 1t took
about an hour to put the fire out. The
stairs were completely burned. The stock
in each store was badly damaged by
smoke and water. The origin of the fire
is mystery The store, which is owned
by George Stead, is insured for $4,000
and his stock and fixtures for 81 900
Abdill's stock and fixtures were insured
in two companies So, 900 in one and 81, 00(
in another. These amounts will fully
cover all loss.
