The T. M. C. A. Stepping; Forward.
The Young Men's Christian As
sociation of Winston-Salem is
making a forward step ia the way
of securing larger and more suita
ble .quarters. The old Opera Iiouso
Brown & Carter building is to
be fitted up conveniently for a
home for the Association. Tin
proposed arrangement when com
pleted will be one of the best suite
of rooms Occupied by any Associa
tion in toe btate with the excep
tion of Charlotte and Wilmington
where the Associations own hand
some t buildings, lhe alterations
ill the building will cost about
$900, and of course, it will take an
effort to ; secure the desired ar
rangement,- but the change will
surely be made and will give new
impetus to the looal work. The
Association has been growing of
late years and it becomes necessary
to find larger and better appointed
quarters in which to carry on its
great work. The good which has
been done by the Association can
not be estimated but it should be
doing more and will do more in
its new home. Tne plans may be
seen by calling on Secretary Hicks
at the Tooms.

Death of Mrs. R. H. Polaaexter. ;
It it our painful duty to chron.
tele the death of Mrs. R. II. Poin

9th iust. The deceased was mar
ried to Mr. Poindexter more than
six years ago in the ipiscopal
unurcn in i this city, she was a
consistent member of the Seventh
Day Adventist Church in Wash
ington, D. C., a christian in every
sense of the word, a devoted and
aithful wife, a kind and loving
mD'her. She fell asleep in Jesus.
with the bletfled hope of coming up
at the first resurrection, when "this
corruptible shall put on incorrqp-
tion, and this mortal shall put on
immortality." She leaves a hus
band and three small children to
mourn her loss. Mr. Poindexter
was an employee of this offioe for
several years and resided in Win
ston-Salem ' with hie family, re
moving from here to Washington
City after his appointment as Pos
tal Route Agent. The entire Re
publican force extend sympathy,
heartfelt and sincere. "In the
midst ot life we are in death." Ever
since Adam transgressed the law
of God, man has paid the penalty,
and the cold clods from that day
to this have never ceased to fall
on our loved ones, notwithstand
ing Satan said, "Ye shall not sure
ly die." We can not boaBt to-day
what we will do to-morrow, for
thebrealh of life is so easily blown
out. , "Breath, only breath, so frail

We have been good pumoredly
twitted on several itoccaiions re
garding our suggestions that every
town aud county should have weu-
trained bloodhounds, mere is
hardly a day but wtat our atten
tion is called by some paper print
log accounts where rthese animals
are used, and euccesfully, in fer
reting out criminals. At Lxiug
ton K: ntly in the- sad Springs'
tragedy, the first (thought was
bloodhounds and parties owning
the auimals were telegraphed for
both at Charlotte and Burlington
Unfortuuately there! was necessary
delay and by the time the dogs of
Mr. llartsoe, of Burlington, arriv
ed, the soent had jcooled. Had
Lexington owned bloodhounds the

other criminals would have never
had tha opportunity Jto have even
made the pretence of an escape.
Chicken thieves and evil doers
generally could be caught coming
and going. After some atrocious
deed has been done, jthen our an
thorities will doubtless bestir
themselves. We have advocated
bloodhounds varballj aud in these

Greensboro in her misfortune of
another fire Monday night. It one
mated in Darden's shoo store,
spread to the dry goods store of
Armfield, Ridge & Vickory, and
the old Star Warehouse, used as a
produce house. The two former
were saved by tne firemen, but were
badly damaged. The warehouse
building waa : totally destroyed
Mr. Darden's invoice the 1st of the
month ran up to nearly $7,000.
His insurance is only $3,500. His
stock was badly damaged by water,
but ia not nearly a total loss. Arm
fiald, Ridge & Vickory carried be
tween $6,000 and $7,000 worth of
goods and $3,000 insurance. Possi
bly $1,000 dan be realized on that
portion of the stock saved. In the
second story of their building at
least f l.uuu worth of goods were
totally destroyed. Oa the old ware
house, an immense frame building,
there was $1,000 insurance. Mr.
Phoenix had $1,400 on his stock in
the warehouse, while his loss will
reacht $3,000 or $4,000. He had ra-
oently finished baling 15 car loads
of rags, which were burned, in ad
dition to o.OOO pounds of dned
fruits, five tons of tallow, eto. Mr.
Howard Gardner had the greater
portion of his household goods
stored over Darden's shoe store,
His insurance of $160 will proba
bly cover his loss. Dr. Benbow.
owner of the two damaged build
ings on South Elm Street, carries
ii.uuu insurance on each. This will
cover the repairs required. The ori
gin of tbe nrst fire is still uu ac
counted for. It originated nar
thereof in Dardan'a building. The
warehouse was set on fire, moat
likely by some person or persons
who saw a good opportunity for
plunder. Quantities of the goods
