the school subject for this time. Hop,
no one will take any offence, even II

toes
Well, we bad very lively time al
the Chapel Sunday. The Sardis Sun
day school came over TO the Chapel &c
/ show us ''ignoramuses" how TO con
duct examinations or review of the
past three months of our great inter
national Sunday school lessons They
came with every point fully dressed
and polished. We do certainly delight
| to see people take such an interest in
their Sunday school work, as sold
Joe" is certainly lover of Sunday
schools when they are carried on prop
erly. / hope our superintendent and
also all our students learned q great
deal and may derive wonderful bene-
fits from the Sardis proceedings There
we're or 6 in the class who seemed to
show, or want to show, that they were
equal to all emergencies Passing no
special individual or personal honors
on any of said class, we will say they
did spendidfy. We hope that the re-
suits will prove beneficial all around,
but to the Chapel class and also to the
Sardis class sold joe may have some
more to say about the review proceed
ings next week.
Well, it still continues dry. If it
doesn't rain in very few days every
thing in the vegetable line is going to
die, Corn is suffering in our diggins
to damaging extent, but we do hope
before this is read by the readers of
the News that we will have had a
good rain
We have some visiting in our vicin-
ity. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Moore and
children, of Whitwell, are visiting in
our settlement this week, visiting
friends and kinsfolks
Dan Carson, who has been off in
school for some time, has come home
to spt nd his vacation and took in the
Sardis review exercises Sunday
The Curley brothers, of near Sc.
quachee, were among the visitors at
the Chapel Sunday, and assisted the
choirs in their singing. Boys, come
back to the Chapel again for we will
be glad to have you assist us in our
vocal music. ~
Daniel Vinsant was at w. G.
Moore's the other day, looking after
his interest in the public school mat
tiers. .
Daniel Pitman, one of the ex-J. P.s
Of the Chapel settlement, was out Sun
day and enjoyed the review.
Jas. Ellis, superintendent of the Sar-
dis Sunday school, and better half
we're with their review class Sunday
Mr.. and Mrs. Charley McCurry and
little son, passed through going home
from visit Saturday night, visiting
the formers sister, Mrs. Carson, who
lives near Shellmound.
Well. as the hot weather has not
'swatted" the dispisable housefy. and
they seem to have taken on consider
able weight this hot. dry weather, and
they seem to crawl heavily and it
keeps Old Joe knocking and fighting
so much, guess it is best for himself
and the readers to close. Wishing the
editors and all the readers happy and
joyous 4th, am as ever the same,
Old Joe.

the Congregational church Rev. MT.
 Yukl, assisted by Rev. MT. Darrow, gave a stereopticon lecture on mission work in Africa. The views were in- teresting, and many of them very pretty. A personal interest attaches to this Zulu field from the fact that one of the early missionaries was Elisha Robbins of Westford, cousin of Miss Emma F. Robbins, and his wife,
 Mrs. Addie Hammond Robbins of Rockville, both having been we'll known here. Recently Rev. MT. Dor ward and wife, frequent guests of Mrs. Gardner, were later on the same field and their beautiful little daugh- ter, Florence Genevieve, was born there. One of the views shows the house where these missionaries lived.
 Rev. MT. Robbins, his wife and little daughter are buried there, where the better part of their lives were passed.

 About o'clock last Saturday morn ing W. P. Bidwell, passing on Main street, saw that the upper portion of Anderson & Helms livery stable, rear of the American House, was on fire At that hour of the morning it was difficult to awaken people, but the alarm finally got together a consider able crowd and the fire department. It was calm morning, and heavy rain had left the roofs of adjoining buildings we'll saturated, so that no doubt was felt that the steamer would confine the fire to the barn and par tially save that even. To the con- of all the steamer refused to suck water, and continued Obsti- nate through all, except for a brief period at later stage, when it threw a feeble stream. A good stream was soon got upon the flames from the Granite mill force pump, however, and soon after from the Mineral Springs mill, hose being used from these mills, but by this time the American Hotel building was well on fire, and all that could be done was to keep down the fire and save other

 The children of the Daleville school, Miss Rachel Fuller teacher, have entered upon crusade against the tent caterpillar. About 300 egg clusters were brought in Nov. 7th.
 It was pleasant to see so many chill dren and young girls about Saturday afternoon, the attractions being the language study class and the sewing school at the Congregational confer ence room, and the tea party given her class by Miss Rachel Fuller at the Baptist conference room. Those pres ent at the party were Jennie Lexer, Lillian Busse, Louise Schmidt, Mil dred Amidon, Susie Bartok, Elizabeth Parker, Alcista Watts, Mary Parisek, Phyllis Ryder, a very bright little class.

buildings. The fire finally seemed we'll under control, when the excessive pressure broke the Granite mills pumps. At this stage the ell extend
 ing from the American Hotel to the next block east was pulled down, and the one stream available that of the Mineral Springs mill - used to keep
 the fire from spreading, letting the American building burn to the ground.
 (This fire was before the aqueduct
 water was brought into the borough. ) The occupants of the American House
 block were George Poindexter, who kept the hotel; Joseph Clark, barber;
 James Morris, restaurant; also bill ! Hard and bar room, the ownership Of which was indefinite. Mrs. Janette
 Horton had rooms for housekeeping also in the building and saved only a part of her goods, on which there was no insurance. Clark had insurance on his furniture, most of which was saved, and received from the insur-
 ance companies the $25 for damage which he claimed. s. N. Page got $1OO for damage to paint on his build- ing next west of the fire. Anderson
 6 Helm had insurance on their goods of $2,OOO, but most of it was on
 horses, wagons and hay. The horses and wagons were got out, and there was but little hay. They got $4Oo,
 an insufficient amount to cover their
 loss, but all that they could get under
 the division of amounts of insurance
 as specified by the policy. MT. Royce
 had insurance of $1, 500 on his build ing. His loss must exceed $4, 900 John Brown and l.. K. Lord, before the flames had yet touched the Ameri- can House last Saturday morning, se
 cured from MT. Royce the refusal of
 the lot seemingly about to be vacated,
 and on Monday closed the bargain for
 the eastern 100 feet on Main street,
 96 feet deep, paying for it $6, 500.
 Early Tuesday morning gang of men were at work clearing the lot of de-
 bris and excavating the earth in the rear for a brick business block, to cover the entire front and go back so far as practicable to dig. The loca- tion and difficulty of removing the ledge will probably determine the depth of the building, which it is nearly safe to say will contain five stores, better than any the village now boasts of Before the work had com menced on the proposed site MT. Lord had bought out the interest of MT. Brown, and afterward A. o. Eaton was taken into partnership by him. The present plan contemplates only a one story block.

Stone of Pennsylvania arrived yester-
day personally to represent the Thaw

reurn me to Matteawan.
IF ! am sane then certainly don't

from another state that IL provides
that doctors and nurses, If needed. be
