FIRE DESTROYS STORE BUILDING Fire, probably originating from sparks dropped from the stove in the interior of the building, destroyed be yond repair the wooden frame store building owned by Woodard Wil loughby, colored, Tuesday. The shoe shop, on the corner of Main and Maple streets, adjoining the building, was saved from the flames only by the prompt action of the local Are de partment. As la usually the case, the alarm was given the Are siren by the time the building was half consumed by the flames. The total loss incurred by the Are is small, owing to the na ture of the building. However, s little more prompt action on the part of the Are fighting force might have dimin ished the loss considerably. 0 "Where there is smoke, there is al ways Are," so when twenty million well-know men and women in all walks of life say Tan lac is a good MURFREESBORO N?WS * 4 The Chowan College commence ment ended Tuesday morning with a deeply imptessive ceremony waa, in ell its features, both a pleasure and an inspiration to all.

THIS IS ABSOLUTBLY FALSE. I nfiver thought of Any such thing in my life and if elected and such a mo tion were made before the boards, I would fight it with all my might. I will give $100.00 in cash to any one who will bring before me the person who started any such report or that I ever so much as intimated any such thing. That is one of the things I want to get on the Road Board for is to help reduce road taxes in every form possible. When a bad person can't carry his point by fair means he will not hetitate to resort to lying, so my friends do not be misled by any mis representation you may hear for you are entitled to know, as I said in the statement issued last week, how I stand any question pertaining to the office of Road Commissioner as I have nothing to conceal.

ADVANTAGES OF THE SMALL TOWN In the winter, when the water pipes and pumps are frozen and we get up in the morning in a cold house and wade through snow drifts to the office we are sometimes inclined to envy the city dweeller with his steam heated houses and streets swept clean of snow. But this time of year,with the green fields and trees to meet our .eyes in the morning and the open spaces and clean air, the shoe is on the other foe*. We are sorry for the poor devils that arise in the morning and look out upon the solid masonry of the buildings and the paved streets simmering in heat that the night air was unal^g. to cool. This (9e of year, also, the roar and clamor of traffic is jarring on C sensitive nerves in the city and the 1 quietness of the small town is ap- . predated. Of course there are many advantages enjoyed by the city dwellers that is denied to residents of the little burgs, but in the springtime ?and the summer?the balance is in favor of the latter, and those so for* tunate as to be located in a small town should be duly grateful. 0 According to figures compiled by the Bureau of Vital Statistics, the number of birth in this State during the year 1921 exceeded that of deaths by 59,000. This proves that the net mortality rate in North Carolina is constantly in the decrease.
