CHURCH AT HOUL.T
BURNS TO GROUND
Struck by Lightning During
Electrical Storm
Last Night.

The Hoult Methodist Episcopal
Church was struck by lightning
and burned to the ground during
severe electrical storm in the
Fairmont section last night.
Lightning evidently struck the
spire OF the belfry. When Hoult
citizens first saw the fire. the bel
fry was in flames and soon after
fell in. Members of the church
made an Intellectual attempt to
save the building from the flames
but nothing could be done. The
loss was about $4,000 of which
$4,000 was covered by insurance.
The structure which was de-
stroyed was built in 1898 and
1894, and was dedicated in the
spring of the latter year. II was
a typical. one-room, country
church with vestibule and beifry.
Hoult residents expect it to be
some time before they will be i'll
position to erect Il new churcn
as they are at present engaged in
the construction of new school
house. Among the persons active
in the building of the church
which was burned last night were
Elijah Hoult, Harmon Snider and
Theodore McElfresh, of whom
only the latter survives at the age
of Sc years. The present pastor
of the church is the Rev. F. E.
Wiles. The church has ncluber-
ship of about 100 persons.
Damage from the storm in the
city was not great and is not be-
lieved to have been exten. i've in
other parts of the county. Crossed
and broken telephone wires in
the rural districts held up com
munications during the morning
hours, but the telephone repair
crew was soon on the job and has

My Years on the Stage

The most distinguished actor of the Ameri-
can stage, just entering on his fiftieth year
OF acting, shares with the public which owes
him already so much of pleasure, these
memories of his brilliant career.
Quite informally he tells of the roles he has
created, the parts he has played, the noted
men and women of his profession with
whom he has come into contact And it is
not the life of the footlights alone, but that
OF the great world which he sketches with
such easy charm The most distinguished
men in all walks of life were among his
friends. AS Booth Harrington puts it:
His memoirs properly be greeted, n fact, as we
should greet birthday speech the banquet are
