Sunday Morning Fire.

Sunday morning about six
O'Clock the fire companies were
called to box 43, fire having be-
gun the rear Of the drug store of
Haywood & Boone's. The
cause Of the fire was supposed to
have been rats and matches.
The response of the firemen
was prompt and soon the chemi-
cal engine had subdued the
flames, little damage resulting.
Il was a close shave, and had the
fire continued much longer be-
fore discovery, there is little use
to calculate TIE amount of dam
age that would have been done.

farming by Mr.. R. w. Scott, of
Alamance. Mr.. Henry Moore of
Reidsville presented a sample of
clover which was 6 feet in height,
and Mr.. Scott said if one man
could grow clover that high that
others could do the same. Mr..
Scott advised deep blowing,
drainage, sowing peas and clover
to improve the land. And some
one asked him how to get rid of
wild onions, may pops and sassa-
fras, and Mr.. Scott remarked
that sheep would destroy wild
onions and that cattle would de-
stroy may pops and sassafras,
and advised the raising of cat
tie and stated that they would
bring to the farmers a handsome
revenue in the way of butter and
beef.

suggest that, inasmuch, as Dearborn

on each to 80 feet, ana that the extra
ground on each side OF the street

beautiful thoroughfares.
At the conclusion of the talk of Al
derman McInerney, a resolution was
passed, authorizing both Aldermen to
use their influence with the Board of
Local improvements, to go forward
with the work and to cut the drive
ways down to 80 feet, which would
lessen the expense to the taxpayers.
On motion of S. B. Emmick, a rising
vote of thanks was extended to both
Aldermen, for emerging from their
comfortable homes on Sunday after
noon in order to be present at the
meeting.
At 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon the
Board of Local Improvements got its
self together in the coucil chamber
in the City Hall, and as predicted by
Alderman Burns, the whites, includ-
ing real estate sharks who own prop
erty up and down Dearborn street
and Armour avenue, and who reside
in other sections Of the city, were
there in full force to object to the
improvements. and many Of them
were also represented by cheap, hun
cry lawyers. Col. Henry S. Dietrich,
president Of the Board Of Local I'm

who were in favor Of the proposition,
would be permitted to speak first,
and Aldermen McInerney and Burns,
Wright, Smith, S. B. Emmick, Mrs.
Mcfarland and julius F. Taylor
spoke in favor of the improvements,
and when they had concluded, 1t was
clearly evident that Col. DIETRICH,
John Minwegen, Felix A. Norden, Al
bert F. Keeney and Col Chauncey
Dewey, composing the board, had been
won over to their side.

meeting came out hatfooted for the
improvements, and she declared
that ''she was not in favor Of paying
