FARM LIFE IN" MANITOBA.
Bountiful Crops Destructive Fires
.Ives Lost-Houses Baraed-Prstee-
tleu Heeded.
The province of Manitoba Has
been blessed this season with the
best crop of wheat in its history.
The farmers have been thereby
made happy. The threshing has
bqfen industriously carried on, and
EeVereat plains have for weeks re
sounded to the hum ol thn ma
chines. Occasional enow storms
have stopped threshing for a few
days, but the great body of the
grain has been threshed and is
ready for market.
While the Northwest has been
congratulating itself on its good
crops and prospects for future good
times, an unexpected enemy has ap
peared in the land, brought dismay
to the people, and spread destruos
tlon before it. Prairie fires have
been ranging over western counties
during the present week, with dis
aatrous results The country be
tween 'Winnipeg and Portage la
PraArie the finest wheat section in
"Canada has been a severe sufferer
by the devounig element. Many
forms have lost their entire crop .of
wheat and hay. Others have not
only lost their crops" but also their
buildings and fences. Some have
lost their cauie and stock as well ab
their houses and grain. In addition
to losing their all a number of farina
ers have been severely burned, and
suffered physical torture as well as
financial 'loss. Three have died
from bu: n and others are seriously
afflicted. Ten thousand dollars
worth of wheat and hay has been
burned into ashes, and many homes
blotted f. o ji the lace of the eartb
The question of prairie fires .has
therefore assumed serious propor
tions in the Northwest No farm
cm be coiibidered safe and every
prairie farm house is menaced with
flames. It is now the most impors
.tant question before the Cunai &
'Peopje; before it immigration and
aTTelopment of resources are msig
nifloant. The protection of those
already in the country, and the
safety of resources already devel
oped, are of paramount consequence.
Prouiuciul legislation and effective
and sufficient legislation are needed.
If means for the suppression of
prairie fires and proper penalties for
originating fires are not provided by
the government, the province will
lose heavily by the neglect, and be
retarded in its future development.
So far the farmers have bad 'jlo
fight their own battle, and contend
with the raging flames with their
own forces. While for days past,
when the western prairies have prec
sented an auroral picture of fire,
and great lakes of flames and bil
Iovb of smoke have rolled up from
the burning grain stacks, I have not
heard of the provincial or municipal
governments of the province doing'
anything to assist the farmeiB to
suppress their devouring enemy.
To save my life, I can't see any
reason why the mounted police and
the municipal fire companies have
not been sent to assist the farmers
in suppressing the fires, or why re
lief companies have not been orga
nized in the towns and sent to the
ravaged districts to help to get the
fires under control, and save prop
erty from destruction. If the Til
lages were visited by conflagrations
and threatened with devastation. I
believe every Manitoba farmer
would lend a hand to help the vil
lagers suppress the fires and save
their property, ihe farmers Keep
up the towns, and the vulagirs
should assist the farmers in their
dire struggle with their burning
foes The government at least
should take a hand and give some
organized aid for the suppression of
prairie fir s add the rescue of crops,
houses, tattle, ttock and people
from destruction. Sh riffs Lave
powers to assemble posses to put
down riots they should fclso have
powers to collect a posse at the
county's expense and put down
prairie fires. A raging fire should
be regarded as a riot, and sup
pressed by the government as a
public etemy. Severe penalties
should be provided and rigorously
enforced against all parties regard
less of who they are for originat"
ing fires, either through neglect or
want of caution. Farmers have
rights, and they should aee that
the r rights are respected. If they
have not adequate laws to have such
respected and enforced, they should
make the laws required.

Buchanan-Reed.
Enchanting were the strains or
Mendelsbon's wedding march as ren
dered by Prof. 11 L Keesler at tin
First Presbyterian church last
(Wednesday) evening at 6:30 o'clock
when two lives were wedded in a
beautiful ceremony pronounced by
the pastor, Rev. W 0 Alexander,
The bride was Mary, the youngest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joel Reed,
of this city, and the groom was Dr
Eli J Buohanan, a prominent young
Dhvsician of Lexington. The
church was handsomely decorated
A pyramid of palms and white cry-
santhemums failed the alcove and a
pillar of eyergreens interwoyen with
grasses stood at either side of the
rostrum. In each aisle was an
arch, npon which swung the gates,
and suspended from the top of the
left one nnder which the 'bride
passed for the last time as a miss,
was the letter "R," and from the
arch in the right aisle in a similar
style was the letter "B." The trim
ming colors and lamp decorations
were white and bine.
At the first sound of the notes to
the famous march, in walked little
Lizzie Montgomery and Jem kin
Reed, who opened the "beautiful
gates" that the attendants might
pass beyond, followed by the flower
children, little Margaret Lentz
and Fred Bost, who pro
ceeded to . the altar' and took
their places on either side of Key.
Alexander ; they were followed by
tha caudle bearers, little Addie Lore
and Dermont Shemwell, who ars
rauged themselves opposite one an
other on the rostrum, and for a mo-
raent these little folks presented a
most fairy-like scene with their
sweet, flushed cheeKs, flowing hair,
flowers and paie illuminations. Tnen
cam: the ushers, Messrs. J C Mc-
Neely, of Cnarlotte, Ed. F White,
Joe Goodman and John F Yorke,
standing at the lower end of either
aisle, followed by the bridesmaids
and groomsmen, passing down the
aisles singly and crossing in the
front of the altar in the following
manner :

chiffon trimmings.
Majestically and alone came the
maid of honor, Miss Alice Shem
well, preceedmg the bride down the
left aisle, attired in an elegant
cream silk dress, chiffon lace aud
rhinestones, who stood to the left of
the loely bride.
KtcliiiiDg on the arm of I
brother-in-law, Dr. L M Arehey,
the bride was escorted to the front
of the altar, where she was met by
the groom, who was accompanied by
his brother, Mr. E Grant Buchanan,
when the two engaged their arms
and mounted the altar where the
throth was plighted that made them
"man and wife," during which' pro
oeeding Prof. Keesler played melo
dious strains of the "Sweetest S.orv
Ever Told," which made the Bolemu
oceasiou one of tfftrct.
The bride's costume was abecom
ing gown ot white satin, loug train,
pearls and ribbons, carrying in hr
left hand a dainty buqout of the
eyer-fiagrant orange bkaaouis.
This brilliant event was con
cluded at the home of the bride's
parents, on Main street, immediately
after the ceremony at the church,
where the bride and groom received
congratulations underneath au arch
of evergreens and pure white
"christian anthems." An elegant
supper was served. The bride was
recipient of many- handsome and
costly presents.
Dr. and Mrs. Buchanan left last

DEFENDED HER HONOR.
a Farmer's Wife Drive Away Her
- Assailant.
New Cumberland, W. Va., No
vember 20. Word reaches hereof
an assault upon a white woman by a
negro rnffhn, but fortunately, with
the oppose of the usual result
Early this morning Mrs. Jacob
Mauntford, the wife of a well tondo
young farmer, liying in this county
near the Pennsylvania line, was at
home alone, except for the company
of her 3 -year-old baby. While
working in the kitchen Bob Black-
well, a negro farm laborer, living in
the neighborhood, came to the door,
doffed his hat and asked for the loan
of a hoe, saying his employer want
ed it
His purpose evidently was to get
Mrs. Mountford to go to the barn
after the tool, but she did not like
the idea and told him to come back
later, or go and get it himself
Blackweil then made known his pur.
pose and seized Mrs Mountford.
As he came at her she picked up a
sharp butcher knife, which was ly
ing near, and began slashing and
cutting her assailant So valiant
was Mr 8. Mouniford's defense of her
honor that she finally drove the
black brute away, with the blood
streaming from a dozen wounds and
his clothes cut to stupes. Mrs
Mountford ran to the nearest neigh
bor, a mile away, and gaye the alarm
and a party of farmers Btarted in
persuit of Blackweil, but he had
gotten oyer the Pennsylvania line
and could not be found.

Innocouseof Childhood.
What pure and innoctnt faith there
is m the minds of some children, was
demonstrated Wednesday afternoon
when some older person told a little
six year old child "that if she did
not get out of the wind she would be
blown awtfj." She haB evidently
been taught to obey older ones than
herself, and believing her informant
sincert, she stopped at a neighbor's
house and got a lady friend to see
htr safely home, fearing that she
would U, hoisted and carried away,
never again to see her beloved parents
and fond ones at home. Her appeals
for company were tocehiu?, and her
lady fri3nd willingly complied with
the little girl's entreaties.
If all childien just a few summers
older crJuld be taught such, wouldn't
this be a blessed country ?
Got His Fifty vents.
Tuesday night a slick trick was
worked upon the Campers in Can
nons & Fetzer's back lot by a negro
of the city. It was very cold and
the negro appeared with a flask of
brandy. He insisted on several of
them to t tste it, telling them if they
liked it he could get them some
more. Fifty cents was given the
negro, who started for the spirits,
but the man with the mot.ey nor the
brandy never returned. The matter
was reported too late to catch him
this time, but it is likely that he
will yet be trapped.

Ceaeerd Baa Slayer,
Some few weeks since Clerk of
Court Gibson appointed Mr. L M
Morrison, the present mayor of Con
cord, public administrator. He has
been qualified, has given a bond of
$8,000 and has been regularly in
ducted into office and is bow per
forming the functions of said office.
Sec. 1389 of Chapter 33 of the code
(vol. 1) says :
"There may be a public adminis
trator in every county, appointed by
the clerk of the supreme court for
the term of eight years."
Sec. 1300 of said chapter says
"The public administrator shall en
ter into bond, with three or more
sureties, approved by the clerk, in
the penal sum of $8,000, payable to
the State of N. C, conditioned faiths
inlly to perform the duties of his
office and obey all lawful orders'
&c
Sec. 1395 of said chapter says:
"On the expiration of the term of
office of a public administrator of
his resignation, he may continue to
manage the several estates corns
mitted to him prior thereto until he
shall have fully admin-'stered the
same," &o.
Article 14 section 7 of the con
stitution of North Carolina says:
"No .person, who shall hold any
office or place of trust or profit un
der the TJ. S., or any department
thereof, or nnder this State, or un
der and this State, or nnder any
other state or goyernment, shall
hold or exercise any other office or
place of trust or profit under the
authority of this State, or be eligible
te a seat in either House of the Gen
eral Assembly ; Proyided, that noth
ing herein contained shall extend to
officers in the militia, Justices ot
the Peace, &c."
Therefore we have an officer hold
ing two places of trust and profit
which is in direst opposition to our
constitution, and by law thejpenalty
for holding two offices is the for
feiture of the first office, therefore
we have no mayor in Concord.
The supreme court recently de.
eided similar cases to this as to di
rectors of State Institutions. Ad
attorney here gives it as hia opinion
that this law is good. What are we
going to do about it ?
The above is statute and consti

ABSOLUTELY PURE
A BEAUTIFUL MARRIAGE.
It Toak Place Today at Hlg-h Bfoen In
the Presbyterian Church The Scene
One of Beauty and Interest Hiss
Morehead Is Wedded to Mr. Pat
terson. Thursday's Durham Sun: A pret
tier marriage never took place in
Durham than the one which oc
curred today at high noon, at the
Presbyterian church, when Miss
Margaret Morehead, daughter of
Mrs. Eugene Morehead, became the
bride of Mr. Euf us Lenoir Patterson.
The handsome interior of the
Presbyterian church presented an
enchanting scene. The building was
darkened and the soft, mellow elec
tric lights shed a radiance of beauty
upon the symetrical arranged deco
rations, The altar was arranged in
a Japanese garden style, with palms
and ferns, and lovely white and yel
low chrysanthemums stood in match
less rows aronnd the edge of tha
platform, with bright faces as if
smiling their cordial greetings and
sanction to the vows of the young
couple. Next ;to the grand old
organ was a backgronnd of flowers
and evergreens of equal beauty. On
either side of this scene were
grouped a unique arrangement of
chrysanthemums, palms and charm
ing florals, which presented a per
fect picture of loveliness, no less so,
however, than the bridal party as it
stood in a semi-circle on either side
of the. popular young people who
plighted their roth i the presence
of a building crowded with their
friends and well-wishers.
The ushers were J F Wily, J L
Patters m, W R Kenan, Jr., J M
Williamson, Jr., E L Holt, W F
Shall ner and F A Green.
Miss Anni Peay presided at the
organ and at 12 o'clock, the familiar
and inspiring notes of Mendelssohn's
wedding march pealed forth and the
bridal party filed in and took their
places amid the brilliant scene.
The groom with hia best man, A
H Patterson, and Kev. W A Moore
and L B Turnbull, entered from the
left side of the church and took
their stand in front of the flower-,
covered platform. J M Morehead,
with the ushers adyanced down
either aisle and took their places in
an outer circle. The young lady

Raleigh Press Visitor : Winston is
evangelist-mad. The coming cf b
quacious and original Sam Jones,
followed by the less witty, but more
thundering denunciation of Bill
Fife, has turned the city up-side
down. Everybody has professed re
ligion, nearly, from the most hard,
ened sinners to men who have been
pillars of their chnrches for years.
Every bar-keeper was converted.
They assert that they would imme
dia'ely closa their places if they
could support their families'after so
doing.
District Attorney R B GlennJJa
one of those who has been reinvest
ed with the spirit. The matter of
bar-keeping has worried him a great
deal, and he is the man who has pro
posed the practical plan that Win

they find other means of supporting
their families.
