DIX|ElAND METHODIST
SUNDAY SCHOOL
ENJOY PICNIC

Yesterday morning a goodly num-
Der of the members of the Dixieland
Sunday school met at the church for
their annual picnic.
1t had been planned to hold it on
the shore of Lake Hollingsworth,
but as the skies looked threatening,
they decided to stay at church; a
fortunate decision. While the older
ones enjoyed themselves in pleasant
social intercourse, the younger ones
amused themselves with games, a
swing. thoughtfully provided by
Harry Lasher, adding much to the
enjoyment. At noon a bountiful pic
mic lunch was spread under the oaks
to which every one did full justice.
The rain, which had kindly held off,
came with deluge just as they were
finishing and caused them to clear
the table with more celebrity than
usual and find shelter in the church,
where, with songs and recitations by
Mrs. Hughes and Dora Dickerson,
the time was pleasantly spent until
the sun shone again and every one
went home feeling that they had
had delightful time.

DONT'S FOR TRAVELLERS

Don't buy lot of foreign labels
from some American dealer and stick
them on your grips and trunks this
year. Nobody is going to Europe
from this country this summer and
consequently the deception will be
easily detected.
Don't give prosy account of
your trip upon your return That's
old stuff and no one will listen to
you. Try blank verse, for a change,
and you may get a hearing.
Don't complain about being sea-
sick, because if you do every one
will know you travelled on a small
boat. The big ones roll but very lit
tie and consequently seasickness on
board them is very infrequent.
Don't say There's no place like
home" upon your return. That's
what every one says. Be original,
even If you have to Islander the old

FIRE LAST NIGHT
DESTROYED
STORE HOUSE

A fire which is suspected to be of
incendiary origin occurred last night
about eleven o'clock, when the store
house of Mr. William Jones on West
Prospect street was burned down.
The fire department made a quick
trip to the scene and it is due to
their strenuous efforts that the foun-
dry which also belongs to Mr.. Jones
was not likewise destroyed. A strong
wind and the close proximity of the
burning building to the foundry
made it very difficult to prevent the
foundry from catching afire The
fire having acquired such Roadway
prior to the arrival of the depart
ment. the members of this efficient
body centered all their efforts on
limiting the conflagration to the
storehouse, and it is due to their
quick and intelligent work that the
fire was soon subdued and danger to
the foundry removed. 1t is alleged
that the building was set on fire by
some tramps who were ordered off of
the premises in the morning. The
damage amounted to $500 and was
total loss, there being no insur-
ance.
