w. E. peerys Residence Burned

The residence of Mr.. w. E. Peery
on Tazewell avenue was almost tot
ally destroyed by fire last Saturday
afternoon about 4 O'Clock. The exact
origin of the fire is unknown, but it
is thought that it originated on the
kitchen roof from spark from the
kitchen flue. When the fire was first
discovered by some of the neighbors
smoke was issuing from the roof, and
in few minutes the fire had gained
such headway that hope of saving the
house or any of its contents was al
most dispaired of. However, a volun-
teer fire company got the fire fighting
apparatus to the fire as soon as posi-
BILE, and it was not long after the ar
rival of the hose until the fire was
eXtinguished.
The upper story of the building is
a wreck, and will have to be replaced
entirely. A good deal of furniture,
clothing and other household goods
were destroyed, some of the goods
being ruined by water.
The houshold goods that were saved
including a piano and other goods of
value, were stored away, and later
moved to the building on Main Street
known as The Old Inn. where Mr..
Peery and his family will have tenn
porary quarters until the house can be
rebuilt.
The building and its contents were
insured.

County Association organized here q
year ago. This was one of the most
enjoyable and profitable meetings OF
the day. No special preparation was
made for it. 1t was not down as q
part of the program. The Secretary
of the County Association and other
workers interested, slipped this meet
ing in between, as an etxra, and ev-
erybody approved it, and felt that it
did good.
The regular program began at IL
a. M, as advertised. Drs. Henderson
and Preston spoke in the Presbyterian
church and Rev. Mr.. Pratt and DIR.
Landlord in the Methodist church.
Both these services were held at the
same hour, and both houses were well
filled. No attempt will be made here
to give full report of these great
addresses. They were such as few
congregations have the opportunity of
hearing. There was nothing of the
formal sermon about them. Earnest
laymen spoke to their brother lay
men. and the minister who spoke did
so as laymen- addresses full of burn
ing, earnest words and valuable in
formation.
AT 3 p. M, a mems meeting was
held in the Lutheran church. DR..
Livius Lankford, the distinguished
Norfolk physician, made an enthusias-
tic address to men on the subject of
systematic, liberal giving of their
means, and an entire conservation of
themselves to the cause of religion.
DR.. Lankford is himself supporting
five foreign missionaries, giving to
this work alone $25O0 year. His
address made a profound impression.
NIGHT SERVICE.
Only one service was held at night,
and this was in the Methodist church.
There was a good, large crowd pres
ent, Notwithstanding a rain which no
doubt kept many people away.
Two fine addresses were made-one
by Mr.. Pratt. who spoke enthusias-
tically and clearly upon the duties of
the laymen to bear their share of the
worlds work in spreading the gospel.
Prof Henderson spoke on "The Chris
tian and His Money" This address
was spoken of in the highest terms
by those present.
The benediction was pronounced
and the Laymens Missionary Conven-
tion pronounced closed. 1t was already
decided that another and larger meet
ing will be held next summer. The
people who attended this meeting
were so well pleased and so highly
benefited that they want more of it.
The good done by the meeting cannot
be estimated now. Time will tell. If
the plans laid and suggestions made
by the organizers and speakers be
carried out the entire county will feel
the power and uplift of the conven-
tion. In any event large number of
the people who attended these meet
ings received an inspiration which
will do them good for years to come
