Two Fire Alarms.

IL was unusual that there should
have been two fire alarms In Farmville
within thirty minutes. This was the
case Sunday night during the hour OF
church services. The first alarm was
sounded just before the preaching had
begun and everybody scampered from
their homes and churches to rec or
hear where the fire was. 1t was in the
barber shop Of Henderson Vaughan,
located in the basement OF the Ran
dolph Hotel. The blaze was a slight
one in a cluset where papers and such
were stored. As the shop and closet
were both locked and had to be broken
into, it is evident that the fire origin
ated with mice playing with matches.
Apart fIom the burning OF the closet
and the breaking Of the shop window,
little or no damage was done.
Just after the people had settled
down to hear the sermons another yell
OF "fre" rent the air, followed immed-
lately by the changing Of the bell, and
this time it was merely the burning Of
a chimney on South street 1t was
rather exasperating to the Assistant
Chief Of the Fire Department that he
had twice within less than an hour to
pull the heavy hose reel back to its
home through mud and slush.

Costly Funerals.

General Edgar Allan, Of Richmond
for some time district attorney for the
Eastern District Of Virginia, was gath
cred to his fathers some days ago. He
left will In which WAS included the
following proviro: 81 desire to be
buried without display and at moderate
expense, preferring that what Of this
worlds goods l leave behind me shall
contribute to the comfort Of the living
rather than the adornment Of the dead"
How sane and sensible One Of the
worst folies Of the age is extravaganza
at funerals. The dead cannot be posi-
bly, benefited by a costly display at
the funeral, while the living may be
considerably injured by 1t. There are
innumerable instances in which poor
families have still further impoverished
themselves to make "grsnd funeral"
Families OF means set the example Of
elaborate funerals, and clerks, washer
women, day laborers, etc, imagine that
they must follow suit or be regarded
~ mean and mercensry. Rev. Charles
Wagner, Of Switzerland, Is in this
country preaching TO us the simple life.
What we need Is some man OF force to
preach to US the simple death and
burial. Savanna News.
