The Lozier racing campaign Tor lvll

Organization that while the public rs

durance that racing dement's tne
manufactures TO the greatest extent.
For this season Loxier cars have NOT
been entered In short distance events,

and winners IN nearly all OF the big
24-hour races and have been prominent
contenders In many long distance road
races. The Loxier entry at Elgin Will
be one OF the 1911. 46-h. p. stock cars.

ing TO contribute to the cause of Christ.
In disposition he was affectionate,
cheerful, kind and generous, and though
the death angel has borne his spirit
from earth to Heaven, we will submit
to the will of God by saying the Lord
gave, and the Lord hath taken away"
We are comforted in believing he is en-

Where parting is unknown;

And faith behods the dying here

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES
Rage in the Forests Around Marvin
Grove. Birds, Beasts and Man
Suffer.

2 Forest fires. started from Littrell's
sawmill last Saturday in the section of
Richmond county, bordering on Lancaster
and Northumberland, ragged for several
days and did incalculable damage. While
few buildings were destroyed it was only
by the people of the country turning
out en- masse and burning around their
farms that saved them. Maon Baptist
chapel, barn on the place of Frank
Settle and a small barn belonging to
Alvin Thomas were the only buildings
destroyed, but miles of fences and
thousands of acres of timber fell before
the destructive blaze.
Marvin Grove Camp Ground, the old
Methodist resort, with its hundred cot
tages, was saved only by hercuiean
effort of scores of men, headed by w.
Andrew Jones.
Foxes. rabbits, cartridges and the
many denizens of Quintinoak forests
fled for days before the consuming
demon, and no estimate can be placed
upon the loss of life among these little
folks of the wild, for it is nesting and
breeding season with many of them and
the death of the young is almost with
out number. In one case fire fighters
listened to the piercing and agonizing
walls of fox hemmed in by circle of
fire with no avenue of escape. A
