Fire in Johnston.

Four wooden stores, two ware
houses to the rear Of these stores
and the building of the Bank OF
Western Carolina were destroyed
by fire Tuesday night, the fire
originating about nine o'clock in
the restaurant of Mr.. Thomas Rho
den. We have been unable to learn
the amount Of the estimated loss or
the insurance carried. This confla
grafton removed the last of the un-
slightly wooden stores on the main
street of Johnston, and doubtless
very soon modern brick buildings
will be erected. The bank building
which was destroyed was a modern
and very creditable building.

Fruit Has Been Injured.

Mr.. w. S. Middleton of Meri-
wether, the largest grower and ship
per Of peaches in the state, is here
attending court. Upon being asked
by The Advertisers representative
Az to whether the recent sever 9
weather has injured fruit, Mr.. Mid
dleton replied that peaches have
.heen injured about s5 per cent:
This does not mean however that
shippers will lose to the same ex
tent. As full crop will net be
made the quality will be improved
and peaches will command q better
price. There are about 9o,oUo peach
trees in the Meriwether Clark's Hill
section, and of this number Mr
Middleton has about $4,000 in his
orchard. His peaches netted him
$4,000 last season. Mr.. Middle, on
ia progressive farmer and fruit
grower and gives his orchard close
attention. He has just finished the
ANIMAL spraying of his trees.

Split-Log Drags.

Mr.. F. L. Zimmerman told The
Advertisers representative Monday
that he would have his team use a
split-log drag on the Blocker road
without cost 20 the county If the
Supervisor would furnish the drag.
Supervisor Enmunds could not
make better investment for the
county than to have at least doz.
en- of these drags made. We are
satisfied that leading farmers would
be found in every community who
would furnish teams free to operate
the drags. Many miles of road could
be wonderfully improved by one of
these drags in day. A less expen.
sive or more effective way could
not bp found to improve the public
roads just at this time when the
heavy hauling season is at It's
height.

Landmark Destroyed by Fire

. The burning Of the home Of Mrs.
Kate L, nch last Wednesday night,
the fire originating firm kerosene
stove, is deplored by the people Of
the entire town. In addition to the
loss that falls heavily upon its own.
.r, the town has lost another old,
pioneer home. Another landmark,
nne of the few remaining traces Of
lid Edgefeld, has been removed.
The building was erected abonI
1920 by Col. Eldred Simkins who
was associated in the practice OF
law with George McDaffie.
The fire and smoke spread so
rapidly through the rooms OF the
lower fl )or that it was impossible
to save anyth ng of value from the
building. Th re we're hundreds of
willing hands upon the scene in a
shor, time but they were powerless
to render much assistance. Mrs.
Lynch carried insurance to the
amount Of $1,000 on her furniture
and $4,000 on the building. MIR. w.
G. Lunch made his home with his
mother and he and Mrs. Lynch also
lost heavily. They are already plan
ming to rebuild their house.

Visit From MIR. Scott.

The Advertiser was honored Mon
-day by a visit from Mr.. Hugh
Scott of the lower part of the coun-
ty who bears the reputation of being
one of the very best soldiers who
wore the Conf. derate gray Although
he has passed the three score and
ten mile post. Mr.. Scott is yet
youthful in spirit and strong in
body. In fact, he can put many
youngsters of to-day to shame. He
rises every morning at the crack o:
dar and goes out and feeds his own
hor es, mules and hogs. Aft
breakfast be walks to his store
which is out on the public road,
fully half mile from his home.
Speaking of his stock. Mr.. Scott
is partial to Poland China hogs. He
says there is nothing that can excel
them, not even the much-praised
Berkshires. He exhibited some Of
his hogs at the Georgia-Carolina
fair last fall and won several prizes
S me three-month-old pigs weigh
i ed ll3 each. He realized more
than $125 from two litters of pigs
from one Poland China SOW.
Mr.. Scott's friends here regret
that he does not come up to the
county seat oftener.

Inc best resolve to make at this
season Is to resolve to make Others
nappy. This not only brings happiness
10 others, but to ourselves. 1t does
not spring from the selfish desire to
please ourselves by pleasing Others,
OUT from that proper self love which
prompts us to do for others what we
would have them do for us. In giving
pleasure We receive pleasure, and thus
the New Year Is made brighter and
happier for all.
