ashes. When discovered the flames

A stiff breeze was blowing from the

other houses might catch. The dan

was lined with household goods.
Mrs. Thomas saved a good part OF
her furniture, but the house almost
burned to the ground. A part OF the
loss as to the house was covered by
Insurance. The fire more than likely
caught from a defective flue.

tion met at Cold Water last Sunday
with a large crowd In attendance.
The Convention was opened by
the President. F. J. Phillips. After
the usual preliminaries. a committee
was appointed with DR.. Banks as
Chairman, to arrange the program
for the day. Quite a number OF the
leading singers of the county were
there and had places on the pro-
gram. The house was filled to over
flowing with music lovers and every
one was filed with ecstasy as the
vocalists mingled their voices In har-
monious strains OF beautiful melody
At the noon hour q very sumptu-
GUS dinner was served by the ladies
Of the community, who have the
honor Of being some OF the best
cooks In all the country.
The next District Convention will
be held at Ocobia church in Septem-
ber. Between now and that time
there will be three singing normals
held In the county. One at Cold
Water, one at Providence and one
at Ocobla. Prof. III. @. Collins, who
taught the Normal at Cold Water
last year, will teach these Normals
this summer. The fact that there is
much interest being manifested In
music turnout the county, indicates
that the people want to. improve
their community life, and their
church and Sunday School life, for
without music In the church and
Sunday School there is little interest
and there is little life.
