A SERIOUS FIRE.

AT few minutes past II, last Friday
morning, the short blasts OF whistle
awoke our people to the fact that hre was
raging
The scene was the residence OF George
Long and for time ii looked as though 1t
might spread to adjoining buildings.
In very short time two streams OF
water were being played upon the flames
and within an hour the fire was under con-
troll
Ii was almost miracle that theresidence
of Mark Lillard and ]. M. Center we're
saved. it was mostly due to the fact that
there was no wind stirring.
The fire laddies, under the direction OF
of john Dyke and DR.. L. E. Kimsey' did
valient work, and they are Untitled to the
thanks of all.
The fire drew large crowd OF people
who were loud in their sympathy for Mr..
Long and his family.
The loss was in the neighborhood OF
$4,000, with an insurance of $500.
Mr.. Long informed us that ne expected

DUcKToWN 4; COPPERHILL l.

Weakened by the absence of its manager
and not feeling extra well itself, the Duck
town team generated enough Of the pep
to go over and trim the pride Of Copper
hill to the tune of TO l, last Saturday.
C. Yoder pitched an elegant game three
hits being all the Copperheads could &C.
cumulate in nine innings. He was really
entitled to shutout, but an error bobbed
up at the crucial moment.
Eight large bungles were made oil OF
the offerings served up by the Copper
heads, slab artist and they materialized IN
to runs enough to put the game on ice and
to spare.
The habit of winning seems to be get
ting chronic with the Ducktown team and
It feels chesty enough to tackle anything
that comes along

Mayo hospital at Rochester, MIMI, in
hopes to get relief, but he gradually

Where the Spirit of God abides the

this is eulogized by Paul in the 18th
chapter of 1. Corinthians.

love envieth not; love vaunteth not

THE FABLE
Of THE WOLF

The beasts and birds had lived in
peace and happiness many years, when
one day the Wolf appeared wearing a
pair of blue spectacles- From that
time on, discord took the place of hap
piness, for the Wolf, looking at the
world through blue glasses, became
dissatisfied with everything, and made
himself as disagreeable as possible.
In the philosophy of the Wolf, nothing
was right, and his sourness and mar
row outlook were becoming contag-
ious. Finally the more cortented
Beasts and Birds questioned him, de-
manding an explanation of his con-
duct.
"You are not happy yourself" they
said. "You seek to prevent happiness
in others. Do you act from conscien-
tious motives, or do you merely act
thus out of selfihsness?
81 am against everything" replied
the Wolf. 81 snarl and bark at every
one Not only DO I consider that my
duty, but I have determined that if I
myself, must see things through blue
spectacles, the other Beasts and Birds
must do likewise.
clad you not masked yourself I'M
der the guise Of piety," was the ver-
dict, 1--WE might have respected you,
even your narrowness. AS it is, we
brand you as a Hypocrite."
Let The World print your auction
posters. We will give you good work
