Historically it appears that the Rev. Mr..

Tor the real supremacy of the second king

when Its great rival, Nineveh, was de-

Mohammedans reckon, and Is most appro-

Whether the Book of Daniel was Look

the Rev. Mr.. Burkalow, will arouse wide

vestigators to see wherein the Bible has
anticipated other modern occurrences.
The Book of Daniel has been studied
and puzzled over more than any other

Fire At Toms Brook.

A large stable belonging to Mr..

Rockdale Lime Company, in Toms
Brook, Va, was totally destroyed by
fire Tuesday night, about ten O'Clock.
Besides several tons OF hay, the
stable contained three wagons and a
number of sets of harness. The loss
is estimated at about $1,000 with no
insurance. The fire spread to other
buildings of the plant and it was
feared at one time that the entire
property OF the Rockdale Lime Co.
would be destroyed, but by the valiant
fighting of the bucket brigade the
buildings adjoining the stable were
saved. The origin of the fire is un'
