What might have been a disastrous
fire started at eleven o'clock yester-
day morning at the residence of Cap
tain Foxhan in the county. About
$500 damage was sustained
There was a slight accident when
a ladder broke injuring S. A. Nichols.
He was badly bruised but escaped
without broken bones.
John Williams, a negro, died on
train No. 49 yesterday afternoon
about l o'clock. He had been sick for
several days in Tarboro and died a
few miles on this side of South Rocky
Mount. His body was taken off the
train there and placed in w. S. Arm
strong.s undertaking shop, where it
will stay until death certificate can
be made out, and arrangements made
for the sending Of his body to Dunn,
where he lived.
Repairing the engine at the DOW
er house necessitated cutting off the
street arc lights last night. No i'm
pa1rment of the house service will be
made. The changes on the engine are
made to reduce the coal consumption
which is excessive at present ana
will increase economy of service with
out impairment of it's quality.
Seldom has any body of men held
such an enjoyable time as fell to the
lot of those present last night when

This Lodge was organized in Tarboro
just one hundred years ago last night
and has been true and faithful to
her teachings through all this time
More than sixty were present when
the gravel fell and more chairs had to
be brought in to accommodate the
brethren.
: Two incidents which added pfeas-
ure AMI enjoyment to the occasions
were the presentation to the Lodge
of an engraving of Lord Edgecombe
presented by Bro. Jno. Cotton on be-
half of Bro. A. B. Andrews, Jr., of
Raleigh. The speeches of Bro. Cot
ton in presenting same and that of
Mr.. r. G. A1lsbrook in accepting were
gems and the only regret was that
Bro. Andrews was not present.
Bro. Gus Heilbroner and J. p.
Keech were in charge of the splendid
banquet. AS the Lodge was being
seated the orchestra commenced to
play Auld Lang Zion and all felt
the inspiration of the occasion. Grace
was said by Bro. G. J. Austin and
then the supper was served.

brook called on several Of the mem
bers for short speeches and remarks
were made by a good many of the
Brethren
st-Masters, j. w. Cotton, Geo.
Howard, J. R. Pender and J. M. R;tk-
er made appropriate remarks and
then a good1y number of the brethren
talked of Concord Lodge and visiting
lodges made remarks.
