Biz Fire At Newark

Sunday night witnessed a very
disastrous fire at Newark when an
empty store room on Front stree,
was discovered to be ablaze about
730 o'clock.
The alarm was quickly given and
large crowd of the people of the
town were soon on the scene, but
the bitter cold and strong wind rem
dered the efforts to extinguish the
flames useless. Water would freeze
as fast as 1t could be put on the
buildings, and every building be-
tween the Masonic building and
Main street was destroyed. By
heroic efforts the residences on the
north part of the block were saved
The burned district, very luckily,
was not occupied by any of the
larger business concerns of the
town, being occupied by two barber
shops, two restaurants and other
buildings being vacant.

CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF
Well Known Citizen OF PineY Fork Township A
Candidate For That Office.

Through the columns of the Rec
ord W. H. Clark of Piney Fork town
ship makes formal announcement
of his candidacy for Sheriff and Col
lector, subject to the action of the
democratic primaries.
Mr.. Clark has lived at Ash Flat,
Hardy and Evening Shade most all
his life, and at all these places, as
well as in every section of the
county where he is known, has
friends who will vouch for his strict
integrity, good habits and useful
ness as a citizen. He has never
held an Office at the hands of the
people, nor asked for one, although
he served as Deputy Sheriff under
M. L. Haney several years ago dur
ing which time he gained much ex-
perience and knowledge Of the dut-
les that attach to the Office of Sher-
iff and Collector.
There is no doubt that he would
make a capable official should he
be successful in securing the Office
he is seeking. He is an efficient
business man and energetic, which
is another qualification an office
holder ought to have. He is in the
prime Of life and would give the Of
flee constant and active attention.
His candidacy deserves, and no
doubt will have, the earnest consid-
Grafton of those who choose offic-
ials. ~

bacco sold In these four places,
You understand we do not grow
any of the weed that Is sold here,
and this money all goes to other
states, More than this, we see
some folks who sell their poultry
ana eggs and the first thing they
call for Is tobacco. Farmers are
most all opposed to trusts and at
the same time they foster the to-
bacco trust. If this tobacco were
all paid for In cotton at the present
price how many bales would II take
